The 11th Doctor

Last night was the premiere of the new season of Doctor Who with its latest incarnation, the 11th doctor. It was with some trepidation that I began to watch; from the pictures I'd seen of Matt Smith (the actor now playing The Doctor) I wasn't too impressed. Too young, not at all attractive, could he live up to the part? I adore Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant was brilliant, how would the new guy do? I'm happy to say that I enjoyed his first outing. I'm still a bit put out that he and his companion look sooo young. I know, I know, Rose was 18 when she went off with the 9th doctor, and this Amy is 21 (met him at 7, returned 12 years later, then another 2-you can check my math) but she looks 15! And Rose, though young seemed older, if a bit common (sorry-love you, but it's true.) I guess as I'm more mature (ahem) I prefer a more worldly doctor. He is 907 now, after all. He can be young, but should at least have old eyes (which I believe Tennant did. Plus he's only 4 years younger than me while Eccleston is 4 years older. I don't know how old these new people are.) But...I did enjoy the story-and I do like the new Doctor and new companion them together. I'm not sure I'll be running out to own them on DVD, but I will be tuning in to every episode.
