\"doctorwhologo\"I just watched the series opener for the fifth season of Doctor Who, with the new guy, Matt Smith. No spoiler warnings needed here, because I won’t give away anything. I’ll just say…<\/p>

That.<\/p>

Freaking.<\/p>

Rocked.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/span>
I wasn’t sure if Smith could fill David Tennant’s shoes, but now I think he can. Whatever it takes to play The Doctor, whatever intangible quality<\/em> an actor needs, Smith has it. This looks like it’ll be a very, very good series, especially with Steven Moffat at the helm. Oh yes.<\/p>

And near the end, there is an excellent moment (one I knew was coming but still got to me) that hands the series over to Smith. Mr. Moffat, my hat’s off to you. Well done, sir.<\/p>

So, when you get a chance, watch it<\/em>. BBC America premiers it tomorrow, Saturday April 17.<\/p>

In the meantime, this mathematical analysis of the ages of the actors playing The Doctor<\/a> may amuse you.<\/p>

Tip o’ the Sonic Screwdriver to Derek Colanduno<\/a> for the regression link! And my thanks to Devin Johnson, BBC Senior Publicity Manager, for sending me the DVD screener.<\/em><\/p>
