my first thought was of course, he is way too young! The doctor can't be just 5 years older than me! and one of those promo pics looks way too Twilight. He better not sparkle, is all I'm saying.
but just the same, I didn't expect to like Ten back when Nine left. So. I'm not giving up hope yet. Anyway, now that I'm working my through Old Skool )and my all time favourite Doctor turns out to be from the old series) I seem to take NuWho a lot less seriously for some reason.
(My second thought was that maybe they wanted a young guy who they could keep in the part for the next decade or something so they can stop blowing through regenerations so fast. they can't last another 26 years if they run out of Doctors.)
