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'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!
