This is a question
for Writers and Readers alike.
This is a picture of Russell T. Davies- he has written stories for Doctor Who
and
also pictured is David Tennant- he of course has played Doctor Who.
So I as I looked at this picture the writer in me said:
You know who the real Doctor Who is
in this picture don’t you?
I do.
Do you?
So the role of Doctor Who is going to be taken over by actor Matt Smith ( age 26 )and his companion ( that label kills
me ) is a 21 year old actress who has just landed a role that will take her from the role of reletively unknown to very well known actress.
I’m sure that the writing will be great, that the acting will be fine but I wonder if the ages of the new cast is an attempt to lure those Twilight and Harry Potter Fans to a show they probably have watched their parents going crazy for most of their young lives.
It smells like it though and I’ll be honest- that really does bother me.
First of all, David Tennant was not exactly an old man when he took the role over and for heavens sake Christopher Eccelston was not exactly a fossil when he pulled the TARDIS out of the PBS basment and slammed that baby back into Prime Time.
I’d like to think this isn’t the case and that the edgy casting that brought Doctor Who back is going to work again. After all, when Chris Eccelston was cast as the Doctor- Peter Davidson’s daughter’s name bubbled up for the character of ” Rose ” ( imagine the ink that would have got them had she been cast in that role – hey she’s David Tennant’s girlfriend now so it’s not like she got cheated here) and that non-cop out decision turned out to be a smart one.
So fingers crossed all- let’s hope that when the Doctor and the series regenerates, it is into another unique and interesting Doctor Who and that he avoids becoming simply a Doctor Tween.
This Doctor Who scene was written for fun.
FOR FUN
by Russell T. Davies
and it rocks.
( no doubt it rocks- John Barrowman and David Tennant on the screen at the same time? )
Enjoy.
Yeah.
That’s what I though it said too-
Seriously.
Be nice to the new guy who will be taking on the role of Doctor Who.
Because
for as much as I’ve become a David Tennant Fan
and I look forward to whatever roles he takes on next
I’ve been a Doctor Who Fan
for over half my life.
Just saying.
The Doctor?
Now I would hate to lose HIM.
Wouldn’t you?
Today it was announced that Matt Smith, 26 will be taking over the role of
The Doctor in 2010.
So upon hearing that news the first thought I had was ( okay, it’s sort of borrowed from a line in Ab-Fab )
” Next thing you know, they’ll be chucking Fetuses around the TARDIS.”
I don’t know much about Smith, I don’t know if older fans will want to watch a show which will now have to cast actors as companions who are probably more familiar to the 11-19 age group then those fans who are old enough to have mortgages
but I do know that the Doctor Who Production team has it’s work cut out for them and as a Fan of the show for over 20 years, I wish them well.

I enjoy Politics.
I enjoy being part of the process and I really enjoy the psychology of it all- I mean- after I’ve been to meetings or talked to Politicians or Politicos I can sit down and knock out three solid horror stories one after the other.
Most of the times on those twisted ones I get comments like-
” What kind of mind can make you feel sorry for twisted demonic creatures who ride the bus home from work and spray paint death threats on walls? Yours I guess “
-yeah well-
the sad thing is there is no real cross over room for my writing and for my activism, so while I’m doing one I’m not involved with the other.
So the Anita Marie that wonders and then writes about what a cannibal is thinking while making pies out of her victims or what happens when a perfect marriage is ruined when a vampire wife turns human and has to leave her undead husband behind is not the same Anita Marie who understands why and must deal with the Political Machine and why it does what it does to friend and foe alike.
It’s not all grim un-fun work though.
I’m not going to downplay it- sometimes celebrities show up at events and that is very very cool.
One year I saw Richard Dreyfuss at the DNC is Boston and he gave this great speech at a breakfast meeting for the delegates. Michael Moore was seated as a Delegate at the same convention and I actually watched Wolf Blitzer interview Everclear’s Art Alexakis.
That aside though there aren’t many things that feed my creative spirit to be found in the political world.
And then today I found this picture
and this thread:
We’re huge fans of the new Doctor Who. David Tennant is not a bad looking fellow.
See evidence below:
I found these pictures at The Democratic Underground
and at the Democratic Underground- they’re asking:
Anyway… we’ve engaged in a debate. Is David straight, gay, or bi? Does anyone know for sure?
:::thread HERE:::
I mean, can think of one person who visits here that will probably take that thread and …well…she won’t be happy…but I am because I had no idea anyone involved with Politics cares about David Tennant, having totally pointless fun or wondering about something other then Stupid Sarah Palin and that dork Governor in Illinois.
Now.
I’m off to collect some info about how to make my own Fiji Mermaid.
I figure once those body parts start showing up AT MY MOM’S HOUSE ( like I’d let UPS leave stuff like that on my front door step where anybody could walk off with it ) my family will be all over this Fiji Mermaid thing.
Besides- how could you not have fun looking for a Fiji Mermaid?
Exactly.
And fun is just what the Doctor ordered.
