Eek, suddenly I'm incredibly nervous. This is the first change of Doctor I've been through as a fan of the show.

I KNOW. by the time i was able to get series 1 it had already been announced that chris eccleston was leaving. then when i watched PotW and tennant appeared i was like, "woah, weasely. also: get a haircut." but i had no idea who he was. aaaaand i wasn't in fandom, so i wasn't all keyed up and such. i just hoped i'd like him. NOW I AM INVESTED.

I'm nervous and excited and OMG. But I'm gonna be out in LA all day tomorrow and I won't be by a computer to check so I'm going to be a wreck! I'm gonna have to get someone to text me! DO YOU WANNA?

As you said above, I am invested now. This will be my first proper changeover where I'm in the fandom and watching it "live" rather than over a year from when it originally happened.

OH MY GOD I WAS ABOUT TO SAY "I HAVE YOUR NUMBER I WILL TXT YOU STRAIGHT AWAY"! AHAHAHAHA YES!!!!

This will be my first proper changeover where I'm in the fandom and watching it "live" rather than over a year from when it originally happened.

dude dude dude! i KNOW! and man, i wanted to see the OG explode, but it's down except for "patrons". D: I WILL HAVE TO STICK TO LIVEJOURNAL I GUESS.

OH MY SHIT I AM ALL EXITED AND NERVOUS NOW HOLY SHIT.

This is my first live changeover, too. Eeeeeee. *bounces with impatience*

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i didn't think we'd know so soon! :O

also: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I think the fact that I've just rewatched series 4, then listened to a lot of the commentaries, I have sadness as well as excitement I love having such a fanboy as the main guy. Boo. As I said, though, MUCH EXCITEMENT.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

I love having such a fanboy as the main guy.

i know! it is the thing i will miss the most, i think -- not just his commitment to the role, because eccleston always impressed me so much with his commitment, and understanding of how important doctor who is; but his LOVE for the show itself. that kind of love you only get when you're a fan. and how tennant just GETS doctor who -- plenty of actors would be amazing in the part, but not all of them would be able to do something like "music of the spheres", and just totally BELIEVE in it, you know? i am still sad he won't be staying on for one more season.

but i am still excited! OH GOD I MAY EXPLODE FROM EXCITEMENT. also nerves, slightly. maybe. a bit. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I AM NERVOUS AND EXCITED AND DISTRACTING MYSELF BY SQUEEING AT YOU ABOUT HOLMES AT THE KALED BUNKER.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

OMG WAS THAT YOU OVER THERE ENTHUSING ABOUT SHERLOCK HOLMES THROUGH TIME AND SPACE? YES! i was hoping it was someone i knew, i was going to tell them to PM me sos i could find out!

i am possibly distracting myself by being shirty at racist-commenting anons over at the bunker. WTF "positive discrimination"? jesus.

Holy hell, I wish they'd just announced it instead of announcing that they were going to announce it. I honestly don't give a flying fuck who they chose, but the WAITING is horrific.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't give a flying fuck who they chose, but the WAITING is horrific.

ahahahaha it's only been like three hours!! to be fair, they announced it literally the day before the broadcast, quite probably to keep the wank down (not in fandom, i'd presume, but the general media). if they hadn't announced it at all, a bunch of people wouldn't bother watching, SO i think it's an all right strategy.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Eep eep eep! So exciting! :D This is my first Doctor-shift since I got into the show. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.

omg what if I'M the doctor??

Guess who's got who_daily tomorrow? Heehee.

i would laugh, but after a moment's thought i'm actually slightly concerned! don't get buried in wank, my friend.

[supasass.livejournal.com]

*goes nnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggghhhhhh*

I'm not sure I could actually watch.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

I WILL BE WATCHING THE HELL OUT OF IT. probably also yelling and jumping about. yes!

[stardust9121.livejournal.com]

I would not have known about this if you hadn't posted. Thank you. Also - omgomg. This is my first Doctor change, too.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]
