My thoughts on Eleven..

[tencrush]

QUICK ASIDE: Demons! It's Ross Jenkins! Can't get over Glenister's accent, though.



I LOVE HIM. Seriously, I love him. For a number of reasons:

• He's on the wrong side of attractive. He really is, his face is all wrong and I love it. The fact that Who fandom will probably lose a shitload of squeeing fangirls when this guy takes over is making me very, very excited indeed, I will not miss them one single bit.


• He's 26!!! Knowing what we know about Moffat, and Moffat's opinion about a young Doctor, this guy has to have REALLY impressed him, and there's a part of me that can see why. I've actually never seen Smith in anything at all, but there was a brief two second clip of some girl asking him a question about how she looked or something and him answering "... yeah" after something of a pregnant pause that blew me away and made me laugh out loud.


• Yes, he looks like a bit of a toff. Is that actually that much of a problem? I quite like that sort of Pertwee-esque "I'm considerably awesomer than you" vibe, lookswise, and I think that's where he'll go with it. I love him. Have I mentioned that I love him?


• I can totally see this guy wearing a FREAKING RIDICULOUS OUTFIT and pulling it off. And the outfit is IMPORTANT, yo.


• Have I mentioned I trust Moffat? I think I have. If Moffat likes him, that'll do for me. Every opinion Moffat has ever expressed about what kind of guy he thinks the Doctor should be, about his favourite writers and favourite Doctors and favourite stories has always been quite similar to my own tastes and I just generally trust the man to deliver something I think I'll like and Approve Of. Whether or not anyone else likes it is something I can't really predict.


• Yah, I love him... I have happy, happy feelings about this guy. Trust me.

True, and I would not watch Torchwood sans Ianto, but you have to admit - if Who were more Torchwoody, Ianto would be a perfect companion.

Yes, I think Ianto would be a perfect companion. He has to be one of my favourite characters on the telly at the moment. GDL does a fantastic job with him. Hat's off to the lad.
