Mmmmhm. I'm also rather annoyed that they apparently weren't even really considering anyone else. It's hard to argue that you picked the best actor for the job if you didn't allow any other actors to even get their foot in the door.
It struck me the other day that I've basically been watching Doctor Who as if there is an ongoing body-snatcher subplot in which the Doctor's been hijacked by some evil alien that occasionally does a decent Doctor impression but just as often lets its true nature shine through. And I like the Doctor enough that I'm willing to wait for this dumb subplot to be over if it means we get him back, but I am also just so sick of this subplot and so uninvested in anything that happens while the jerkface alien is controlling his brain.
