I'm not sure how that will work out.<br /><br />missattitudelittlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10292815.post-41000324444393270732013-08-07T08:46:25.921-07:002013-08-07T08:46:25.921-07:00I'm nervous but hopeful about the change.

I've just really appreciated the lightness that Matt Smith brings, so I'm hoping we aren't headed back to 10's angst. That got old for me. A lot of it has depended on the companion for me, too, so we'll have to see how that goes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469436759142631138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10292815.post-89134824771469379852013-08-06T13:50:50.503-07:002013-08-06T13:50:50.503-07:00I have to add that I feel qualified to make that j...I have to add that I feel qualified to make that judgment about people who will desert the show because of a regeneration, because I've been there and done that.<br /><br />I was very disappointed when Nine turned into Ten, so much so that I didn't watch the first half of Ten's first season. Nine was my Doctor and I didn't want any part of Ten. And then I realized that I missed the show, went back and discovered the wonderful world of Ten. This did not mean that Nine wasn't my Doctor any more, but just that the show is bigger than any one Doctor and I was being an idiot by flouncing because my doctor had moved on.<br /><br />missattitudelittlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10292815.post-92044929088486711042013-08-06T13:46:36.834-07:002013-08-06T13:46:36.834-07:00Fistbump right back at you.
Yeah. I also worry ab...Fistbump right back at you.<br /><br />Yeah. I also worry about the effect of the extra attention on decisions made by the showrunners. Which, actually, is one of the reasons why I think they might have gone the way they did on this choice - and that makes me feel better because they might actually be aware of the effects that the hype could have on the show.<br /><br />Also, although I hate to make the "real" fan/"fluffy" fan dichotomy, I think you're probably right on that count, too. Because, if someone is only watching the show because the lead is hot, they really aren't a fan of the show, but just of the actor playing the part. This goes for any visual entertainment, not just for "Doctor Who".<br /><br />So, if that's being judgmental, then here I am, being judgmental. If someone says they aren't going to continue watching the show before they ever see Capaldi in the role, they don't strike me as being much of a fan of the show.<br /><br />missattitudelittlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10292815.post-19501971465370239472013-08-06T05:36:52.306-07:002013-08-06T05:36:52.306-07:00Also?

I also kind of feel wary at all they hype because in my experience increasing hype of the Entertainment variety can lead to compromise and Very Bad No Good Decisions. But on the plus side, because Capaldi is a) older and 2) not teen-idol OMG HAWT, perhaps some of the fluffier fandom and attention will wander off again. Once an hope, anyway.<br /><br />And also?
