This could explode the internet, oh dear

[such_heights]

OMG. [BBC website; the casting news is being announced tomorrow.]

Well, you can set your watches now, folks: Doctor Who fandom is set to go batshit insane in a little over 24 hours' time. I am both eagerly awaiting the news and stockpiling building materials to construct a little fortress over here to live in for the next however long - you are welcome to join me! Fluffy cushions and DVDs and popcorn for all!

Also, this? ... the actor playing the new Doctor will be giving his or her initial reaction ... Don't taunt me, Beeb, don't you do that, I know you're not following through on your pretty words.

*waits seriously impatiently*

OH SHI-

Fandom is going to EXPLODE. They should clear a 50 mild radius around Doctor Who Forums and prepare for nuclear fallout.

I'm so excited!

Okay, granted, my knowledge of actors from your side of the pond is very limited, so likely I'll know nothing about the guy, but still! I'M EXCITED.

I'm honestly sitting here torn between bursting into tears and hopping around flailing my hands around in despair. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Opinion of household:

New doctor announcement - yay
His or -her- - Series nosedive. It's not that we have anything against a female doctor, just that it'd be a bit gimicky. I think, however, that Moffat would shoot a hole in the bottom of that boat before it got underway. *crosses fingers* But I am prepared to eat my words if need be, in regards to both >.>

Hmm. Nice of them to give us 24 hours of warning instead of three months, right?

:OOOOO I AM SHITTING MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT.


And by 'shitting myself' I mean eating an English muffin and reading a book a calmly whilst watching the morning news. But .... *FLAIL* please, lord, let it be someone not sucky.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

[krabapple.livejournal.com]

Yes, Beeb, no taunting us with your gender inclusive language!

Though if they actually cast a woman, my head would probably explode from awesomeness. So to speak. *ahem*

alsjdfalskdjf This will be EPIC, won't it? The crazy Tennant fangirls will weep and the batchip Rose/Ten shippers will weep AND bitch and the crazy Old School Nazis will moan as well and fandom in general will EXPLODE.

I'm sort of looking forward for it, really. :3

(And, okay, I'm biting my nails as well.)

THEY'RE BRINGING BACK MCGANN RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'DENIAL'?

[thingswithwings.livejournal.com]

oh man, it is SO CRUEL of them to announce that they're going to have an announcement tomorrow. I would have lived through this day in happy ignorance! Now I am going to sit around and wait for it! Bastards. The fandom's crazy, but gosh do they love to MAKE the fandom crazy. Crazier.

My long-held dream was for Judi Dench, which is of course not going to happen, but there WAS that rumour going around a few months ago about Paterson Joseph, which, please please please!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

They might actually cast a woman for this role? I don't even know anything about this show, and I think that's a bit exciting. M.

[crooked.livejournal.com]

sadkjs I AM SO EXCITED/NERVOUS, AMY. part of me will never not weep for the loss of my beloved Ten, but he's had an AMAZING run so far and credited for me all-encompassing love for Who. AND THEN THE OTHER PART OF ME IS ALL A-FLAIL OVER THE POSSIBILITIES OF A NEW DOCTOR!!1!

just EEEEE why is it not tomorrow yet?

[gorgeousnerd]

I'm not even a fan of the show, but when I heard about this, I was like, "Wow, tomorrow's going to be psycho!" I'm heartily looking forward to it.

Also, fingers crossed for a woman or minority person or both! :D

[sambethe.livejournal.com]

Eep! I claim fort space.

[lefaym.livejournal.com]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

Yay!

[closet-zebra.livejournal.com]

HHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA.
I had the same thought DR FANDOM wise.

OH GOD.
THIS COULD BE SOO SOOOOO GOOD>

.... or SOOOOOO bad.

*GRITS TEETH AND WAITS*

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

SO EXCITED!

[saint-claws.livejournal.com]

I'm far more scared bt potential fan reactions than I am by the casting itself!

[faeriemaiden.livejournal.com]

I AM VERY AFRAID. And hiding out here in America because it is probably at least a little bit safer ...

the actor playing the new Doctor will be giving his or her initial reaction

Ahahaha, this totally makes it sound like HE HAD NO IDEA and all of a sudden the BBC runs up and rings his doorbell and he comes out in his pyjamas with a toothbrush in his mouth all "...?" and they're all "YOU ARE THE NEXT DOCTOR" and he's all "...?!?!" and they're all "you're on camera, say something interesting" and he's all "...um."
