Doctor Who 2010 - casting spoiler...maybe

[rabid1st]

Honestly, I do not know if this is a true casting spoiler or just a rumor. But I thought I would report on it anyway...nothing to do with the Pony in this spoiler...just some random thoughts...under this cut

So there is talk that they have cast a 19 year old girl named Hannah Murray. I actually quite like her look and think she would be an excellent choice if they mean to go too young for romance...she could easily play 15 or so...and then they could have her be a Rose/10.5 granddaughter...or Jenny's daughter...which seems very likely to me given we are going to hit the 50th Anniversary soon.

I've just always felt they were going that way...give the Doctor some pseudo-family and "The Doctor's Daugher" and the biocompatible 10.5 make it likely. I could be completely wrong about that, of course. And, personally, I don't really want that to be the promised end to the Doctor/Rose love story. I mean, I wouldn't mind 10.5 providing genetic material but I don't want Rose to have lived that life. Still, I think it would go a long way toward giving Matt some street cred as the Doctor if he was someone's grandfather.

Here is a link to a picture of Hannah. http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/hannah-murray-shockwaves-nme-awards-2007-red-carpet-arrivals-1kTIMz.jpg

She was in a show called Skins and she seems to have quality acting chops from that work. You can see her in action on YouTube. Some of the action is quite graphic, though.

Dude. Is it just me or does she looks A LOT like a cross between Rose/Ten!? The eyes! OMG. It's uncanny!

Yeah! I do think they are going to do some version of that scenario...my HOPE...is we are still going to switch Doctors. I know that's a long shot hope given...well...the reality of television productions, but I will not give up on the best idea ever until RTD makes me.

However, if Ten went to Rose and Rose was pregnant...then basically 10.5 would be leaving something as equally precious as the TARDIS with Ten. And I'm thinking 10.5 could be a donor father...for Ten/Rose...rather than producing a child via unrestrained passion. This would essentially allow us to maintain the asexual Doctor fiction and also establish that 10.5 is 11, too. That he's the Doctor...just not the one in love with Rose Tyler.

It's a bit Timey-Wimey but also very nice. And I do agree...the look is uncanny for that scenario.

The best idea ever

... has a brilliant add on -

"Thanks for swapping places. Bye! Oh, before I go, there's some chilled sperm in the back of the freezer. Jackie nearly mistook it for Caviar, before I told her it was her only shot of still being alive to see her grandchildren. Young Tony still has a long way to go. Ah, domestics and staggered generations. Have fun! Allons-y! Oh, and if it's a boy, please call him Alonso. That way if you think I'm lonely and you send him over I'll know who he is. But really gotta go, now. Poor TARDIS won't get off the ground otherwise."

On a more serious note, I've sent the Humperdinck to David Tennant explaining what's wrong and why he's got to fix it.
