IT CAN BE SPRING RIGHT NOW YES?!

Okay, I shamelessly admit to skipping the entire S4 finale and I doubt I'll change my mind on that point, but this preview has me all pumped for S5, despite* the occasional romantic clichés we've seen in every season so far, such as Companion Unexpectedly Kisses the Doctor.

So do we have an actual date for the beginning of S5, or just this vague promise of "Spring"?

Note to self: Need Matt Smith icon.

LOL - Seriously, I am a happy fangirl.

I love the Troughton - esque bowtie and was pleased to see that Smith's Doctor will also be a very physical one (like Two and Ten, actually). And the Doctor throws a punch! Jon Pertwee would be pleased. I'm also thrilled that his hair is combed so that we can see the right side of his face (something I was seriously worried about based on the interview clips I'd seen).

I, too, confess to enjoying the novelty of the occasional kiss. While the Doctor never ran around kissing people until RTD, the arms-length rules instituted by JNT took a lot of fun out of things. I think the Doctor should be (like Pertwee) flirty but innocent, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, they seem to have got the Flock of Seagulls hair under control, which is a relief. Eleven's eyebrows are hard enough to find already; you don't really want to be missing half his face as well.

And I like that description -- "flirty but innocent". I think that's just about right.

Yay for Action!Doctor!
