i'm making a lasagna... for one

So happy new year, all that good stuff. While I personally am not totally excited for 2009 in any real way, well, at least this way it probably won't disappoint me!

Mostly I am posting this for the benefit of people like bazcat89 who, unlike me, may not have a plethora of Doctor Who fans on their flist who have already posted this: They're announcing Eleven tomorrow!

Which I guess means if you're placing any bets you should probably do that now. Personally I'm pulling for Billie Piper, because nothing says love like stealing someone's body.

I'll probably be wary of Eleven for a while too, but I think I'd be more wary and fanbratty if Handy/Rose didn't exist.

I know, I don't want a woman. People can call me sexist all they like, it'd just be stupid. Anyhow, someone on my flist posted about a video/interview/something in which David Tennant discusses his replacement, and he uses male pronouns, so I am not too concerned.

No, I don't legitimately think it would be a woman...if only because they know perfectly well fandom would explode...and whoever the poor woman was would be letting herself in for all kinds of fan rage.

I just really want to like Eleven, probably because I haven't been this obsessed with a show in ages, and I don't want it to suddenly turn "meh" like all my past favorites eventually did...

LIRL YES the poor woman would really just be doomed. Speaking of female Doctors, though, I recommend this fic (http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=27203) for its cracky wonderfulness.

I know, I'll be very sad if Eleven sucks and the companion sucks and the show just starts to suck in general. At the moment I'm relatively confident it won't, but we'll see, I guess.

That was...wow...really, really cracky.

I don't actually think it will suck either, I just am too emotionally invested worry.

LIRL I thoroughly enjoyed it, though wheter that was in spite of or because of the crack I couldn't tell you. Plus the title is a Princess Bride reference so that won me over right away.

I tend to be an easily pleased fangirl, so I will just wait happily. I do expect Eleven's first couple episodes I will be like :| WTF WHO R U though. i never had that going from Nine to Ten because the first episode I watched was with Ten, so it'll be a first.

I did have that going from Nine to Ten a little bit...even though I loved Ten I was going "I'm sorry, I'm sure you're a very nice guy, but you are not the Doctor. BRING HIM BACK NOW PLEASE."

I actually had it a bit when I first watched "Rose", because i was totally oblivious to the fact that Eccleston was the Doctor in season 1, so when he first showed up I was like "wait, what?" I got over it pretty quickly though because Nine was awesome, but I was kind of waiting for Tennant to show up for all of season 1, so there was no regeneration shock there for me.
