Replying to: <DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Simply the best Master of all, Roger Delgado.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxV1pd-bBpk&feature=related Posted by yevaud</DIV> hmmm...classical The Master.... I missed Jon Pertwee as the Doctor - I actually liked him best over and above Tom Baker,,,,The classical Master - his acting style was a little over the top for me...I always expected the psychotic laughter with organ music playing in the background every time he spoke... Now Devros in the beginning he was evil incarnate .....but not to highjack the thread ....bock to the rumours - did you notice when the Doctor(David Tennant) sent the body of the Master to the funeral pyre - that a woman's hand with red fingernail polish picked up the Master's ring.  That Donna Noble's character was wearing the same ring.....She has been infused with Time Lord genetics or at least imprinted upon.....hmmmm the Return of the Master may not be a rumour after all....ohh wait a minute were talking about the Doctor ..right then...sooo sorrry for digressing...David Morrisey in 2:1 favorite - I'm sorry I get flash backs of Tom Baker and his brother playing the role..I get the feeling that the scripts will be more campy than Intellectual with this character at the helm....not my fav...If anything I would love to see David stay for two more years...oh well   <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Hey, talking about the Master is not thread hijacking.  ;-)And yes, a woman picked up his ring at the end of Series Three.  And we heard his evil laughter!  But I did not notice it being the same ring that Donna wore.  Hmmm.....  Interesting!!!!I don't think it'll be David Morrisey.  I understand the Christmas special is based on an audio play called "The One Doctor", and while I don't know what happened in it, the other Doctor is apparently not the same one as the one we've all gotten to know and love.  Or something.  It should be interesting, anyway.  ;-) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff." -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink" </div>

Sources close to the BBC reportedly confirm that Joseph became the first black man to portray the famous doctor when he accepted an offer a couple of days ago. The actor has appeared in U.K. series Survivors as Greg Preston, and Neverwhere as Marquis De Carabas in addition to a small part in the Doctor Who episode “Bad Wolf” and the role of Benjamin in Jekyll. Joseph also portrayed Giroux in the Charlize Theron flick Aeon Flux.“Any actor would love the challenge,” Joseph told Digital Spy. “[The doctor’s] parameters are so vast. I don’t see why he can’t have more regenerations than the 13 that those who know think a Time Lord can have.”Tennant will depart in 2010. The BBC has not yet confirmed that Joseph will take on the famous role when Tennant leaves. Hmmmm so is it a done deal or not.....makes ya wonder<img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

If they don't knock this one out of the park in the first episode the franchise is dead....David unfortuantley raised the bar pretty high and the expectations from  the viewers I think are going to be very unrealistic.  <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Me and the GF watched the clip with Matt Smith the other day and are both cautiously optimistic that he is going to make a good Doctor. Only time will tell I guess. <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" title="Cool" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I'm excited, but not because of anything to do with Matt Smith -- I know nothing about him apart from the Youtube clips.  He does seem to have a good attitude, and he certainly impressed Steven Moffat (who reportedly had been actively seeking someone in his 40s, so he had to have impressed Moffat a *lot* to overcome the age bias).  The main reason I'm excited is that this is about more Doctor Who in 2010.  Yay!:-D <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff." -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink" </div>

If not well I guess the box sets of Tennant's Doctor will have to do....  <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

CalliArcale · Jan 7, 2009

Just Tennant?  Heh, that's nothing.  I've got most of the entire run of Doctor Who on video, minus the ones lost to the BBC's archive purge.  (Doctor Who wasn't supposed to have been purged, but somebody got a bit overzealous and several serials went into the incinerator before anyone realized.)  So if Smith isn't very good, I've got a fallback plan."Deadly Assassin" is apparently coming out on DVD this year.  I can't wait!  ;-)  That's one of my favorites.  It's a classic now, and vital to understanding the Time Lords -- but was really not well liked at the time, with fans castigating it for mucking around so much with the Doctor's story.  Funny how things repeat themselves, isn't it?  ;-)   <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff." -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink" </div>

Posted by lildreamer</DIV>I didn't comment when I first read this post, but I will now.

I'm all for ethnic diversity, but for cryni' out loud... Just because there are different races here on Earth doesn't mean that it's ubiquitous. I don't know if such things are done to attract "minority viewers" or as some attempt to subtly promote racial tolerance, but I gotta tell you. A Negro Vulcan? Gimme a break.And it would have been the same for me had a black chap been cast as the Doctor.

Matth Smith seems very likeable and very intelligent.

Replying to: <DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>A Negro Vulcan? Posted by dragon04</DIV>To be fair, I have to note that there were "redshirt" Gallifreians portrayed, back in the late 60s onwards, who were black.  I distinctly recollect at least one or two black Gallifreian security men in past episodes. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Differential Diagnosis: "I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are." </div>
