The Eleventh Doctor passes custard

Saw my first episode of Dr. Who with Matt Smith Saturday night.

He'll do fine. After David Tennant, we could use a comic Patrick Troughton- Sylvester McCoy- Tom Baker type Doctor again. And I have to love anybody who breakfasts on fish sticks and custard, and shows up twelve years late for an appointment he had every intention of being on time for.

Interesting new decorating scheme for the TARDIS, too. Retro is cool.

BTW, I wonder whether the BBC has taken into account the fact that, according to the canonical legend, Time Lords only get to regenerate thirteen times. That being the case, when Smith's successor leaves the role, they'll be casting the Last Doctor- unless they can find a work- around.

Oh, well. They did it for The Master; I assume they'll be able to do it for his nemesis, too. Especially since he's the franchise.
