From Neil Gaiman's Blog re: Eleventh Doctor

I'm a teeny bit disappointed about Paterson Joseph. But still, now it means if I ever wrote a story where the Marquis de Carabas met the Doctor... no. That way lies madness.

Oh, Neil, but it would be such fine madness. Please, please, please?


Being an old school Who fan, I was amused when [livejournal.com profile] silveraspen mentioned the wacky Internet wank around Rose leaving. I hadn't paid attention to the new Who fandom, you see. I was amused because I knew the first rule of the Whoverse is "Don't get attached to companions or actors playing the Doctor." This ridiculous foaming at the bit that is percolating amongst the fandom base- well, it's mostly appalling, but it also makes me laugh. Oh, people. Calm down.

I am also disappointed about Paterson Joseph, because I think he'd have made a damn fine Doctor. However, I am sure Matt Smith will be just fine. The Doctor is the Doctor, no matter what. I just hope Twelve doesn't turn out to be a teenager. :-P
