rabid1stI have had a premonition of a pony-free Christmas as RTD and company start giving interviews about The Next Doctor all over the interwebs.
It took hold of me for no good reason. I have no additional spoiler news or anything, so don't fret over that. Suddenly, I just saw RTD talking up something that was completely ordinary (The Next Doctor) and I thought...he's not going to come through for us. He just doesn't get it. Though he did say he's getting better at hiding information from the press and fans.
I think this sudden loss of faith comes from the confidence they are showing going to Comic Con. They have what they think is an epic finale in the bag and they are ready to face questions from the audience with no fear of influence, no possiblity of second guessing themselves. I have to wonder what sort of reception they are going to get from the fans. Obviously, there is a lot of ill will about Donna, but most of the Rose-lovers seem to have given up the ship. I don't know...maybe this has all just gone on too long for me to keep being optimistic.
Someone give me a pep talk.
Depressing Pessimists are NOT welcome!
:grin:

At the risk of repeating myself...EXACTLY!

Now, 10.2 may not have the love...but could have a bit of the inability to stop Rose which seems to be common to a lot of people...Mickey, her mum, Jack, Pete...various enemies. Rose is rather unstoppable. And, yes, I don't see her giving up on her Doctor.
So...yes, RTD is going to fix things. And he can...very easily...your way is the switch Doctor's way...which is also very plausible and canon-friendly...we just say that 10.2 is the one who should be traveling...and 10 is the one in need of a good long rest...and switch them with the fob watch or some other handy device.
