Here is a lovely picture of Eleventy and The Latest One from the Beeb:



THERE ARE NO PONDS IN IT. This is just like that time Big Finish wrote out Erimem and I never listened to another Fifth Doctor audio ever again.* I don't like this Not Wanting Companions To Leave thing. IT MAKES ME SAD. Even if I'm looking forward to the next one. SADNESSES.

Also, no longer Scottish. That's the worst thing really.

OH THEY LOOK SO CUTE. I approve of 11 in a waistcoat

[iamrman82.livejournal.com]

He looks even more like Troughton now! Just one bowl cut away.

There is a waistcoat. This makes up for many, many things.

(Yes I am SHALLOW. But - waistcoat. It reduces me to incoherency.)

Besides if I try to think about the Ponds leaving I get VERY VERY SAD, so I focus on the waistcoat, because it is A Good Thing.

He wears a waistcoat now. Waistcoats are cool. :-)

I find Jenna Louise Coleman aesthetically appealling. Whether she'll be any good or not is another matter.

Also? Steven Moffat is still Scottish. So that's okay.

FFFFFFFFFUH, I LIKE THE COSTUME CHANGE LOTS. So professory.

New girl is cute. I'm looking forward to what she brings, EVEN THOUGH THAT MEANS NO MOAR PONDS.

I feel ALL LONELY because I umm sekritly are a bit tired of Ponds EVEN THO I LOVE THEM and I want to meet the new one sooooooon and to love her a lot.

As long as the Ponds' leaving is only "heartbreaking" (Moffat's choice of words, if I recall) in the sense that Sarah Jane's was... We've had enough of "Being the Doctor's Companion will end in tragedy" meme, thank you very much... (by which I mean "no thanks").

She'd better have some explosives in that bag. That's all I'm saying.

Oh gosh, I really miss Erimem.

[kaffy_r]

I will miss the Ponds so very, very much. But it's the Whoniverse, so I shall shelve my heartbreak and learn to love another companion or at least, god willing, like her. Haven't met one yet that I truly disliked, but I really like to love them.

So that I can get my heart broken again when the next one leaves. It's the only way I'll ever be like the Doctor, I suppose.

Also, really hoping she's not as generic as she looks, and seconding the waistcoat approval.

How...how can there be Eleventy without Amy or River...how...I do not understand...

This is my first instinctive reaction when looking at that picture, even though the other part of my brain says, "Ooh, a new companion! Can't wait to meet her!" and "Awh, she's cute and looks like she's having fun." And, you know, I wasn't passionately devoted to Amy & Rory, or at least I didn't think I was. But I kind of started watching Doctor Who with The Eleventh Hour, and...how is there Eleventy without Amy? Suddenly I understand why all the drama over Rose leaving, back in the day.

However, am eager to meet new girl! Complex feeeelings. Heh.

DAT WAISTCOAT.

I mean, I liked the old look, it was lovely, but this dark tweed, charcoal, and a dove-grey waistcoat... hummina.

I dunno I have mixed feelings about The Ponds leaving and the new companion. But what I really love about that picture is Matt on a vest, it somehow makes him A LOT more attractive.....

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I do like Eleventy's new outfit!

And even though I haven't actually be properly fannish about Who in a while, I'm now kind of sad at the thought of the Ponds leaving. Do we know anything about the new one yet? She'll be from 21st-century London, I assume...
