Thoughts on the Upcoming Doctor Announcement, Post #32

[usedtobeljs]

It's been announced that this Sunday, after the Wimbledon men's championship, the new Doctor will be introduced.

I have the following thoughts:

1) I know, intellectually, that it is time for P Cap and S Moffat to go. But I am not looking forward to Chibnall as show runner, and I am very very worried about who will be the next Doctor.

2) This worry is displacement for larger political and personal worries, I assure you. But still.

3) I DON'T WANT IT TO BE KRIS MARSHALL. He seems like a lovely chap, but NO NO NO.

4) I have a list of white boys I'd like to see as the Doctor, but really, I don't think it's the time.

5) Am sad that Adrian Lester has taken himself out of the running, but then I want him to be Aziraphale in Gaiman's Good Omens miniseries anyway.

6) I will be traveling (back to see my father, who is lingering on despite all odds) during the announcement and that is also stressing me out.

In conclusion, P Cap.

Hugs to all!

I would prefer it not be Kris Marshall either. I used to have to watch My Family and just hated it.

P Cap! and hugs for it all ((())))

I never understood how My Family was so dire. It had the truly awesome Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker, for heaven's sake -- but it was TERRIBLE. Ugh.

P Cap!

Hugs and good thoughts for you and your family.

I agree, it's much too early to announce the new Doctor. I don't much care for K Marshall either, as far as that goes.

[usedtobeljs]

K Marshall is entirely the wrong direction for the show to go. Just... ugh.

Hugs hugs to you and yours.

Sending good thoughts your way. **hugs**

[usedtobeljs]

Right back to you, L! [hugs hugs]

I just googled Kris Marshall and NOPE. I'm now afraid. Very afraid.

Safe travels, happy landings, peaceful transitions...hugs!

[usedtobeljs]

Kris Marshall is a HARD NOPE.

Glad you're back, and am sending hugs your way! Will be here late next week if you wish wine or summat.

All hugs!

I'll try to keep an open mind about Marshall, remembering how appalled I was originally with Tennant in the role, but....really? Gah.

And sending supportive thoughts for the flight and your father....

Hugs, hugs

Edited to get all the letters into the words....

Well, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and it *won't* be Marshall.

(I was thrilled with Tennant because I'd seen him on stage and in Casanova, but I know you were more attached to Nine than I was.)

Hugs hugs, and happy Comic Con!

You're quite right on each point (though I don't know much about Kris Marshall).

I hope for the best for your father, and for your trip. It does sound stressful.

[usedtobeljs]

We've had the announcement, and we have nothing to fear. :)

Cheers for your day!

I love it! Now I can't wait for Christmas.
