bzarcherWell, it's officially official. Tennant will leave Dr. Who at the end of the 2009 specials.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens next, but it's also very hard not to be a little sad. He's clearly had fun with the role, and I think his psychotic charisma has helped boost the show's audience quite a bit. I think he's probably the first person to take the role since Tom Baker who could have really done a staggering multi-year run if he wanted to, and the fanbase would have been happy about it.
That said....I'm excited a bit. Moffat gets to go into the show with a blank slate, his choice of lead, and the chance to really wind up for a home run going into his inaugural season. This should be freaking awesome.
