"Trust me. I'm a Doctor."
Well, given the whole regeneration thing, it had to happen at some point: In the year 2010, I'm now older than the Doctor. As David Tennant bids his US farewell tonight (reports are it's another badly overstuffed Russell Davies number, but we'll see), the era of Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith kicks off with this BBC teaser.
Hmmm...Seems alright so far -- sort of a cross between Tennant and Peter Davison. In any case, I have faith in new showrunner Stephen Moffatt. Speaking of which, it looks like Alex Kingston is back, and Carey Mulligan may have to take a break from megastardom to help the Doctor with those stone angels again.
Update: The new trailer, frame-by-frame.

Nothing I've read about tonight's finale has been encouraging, and Part 1 didn't give any cause to be optimistic, but Tennant's run has been so great I'm still looking forward to his last outing as purely an event. Several of Moffat's episodes are among my favorite of the entire series (old and new) so, despite Matt Smith being (IMHO) way too young to play the role, I'm still (wildly and probably overly) optimistic about the future of the franchise.
Yeah, that was pretty terrible...like all of the other multi-part season enders. It just didn't make a lick of sense.
But I agree with you about Moffat and the show's future. Every nuWho episode I've really enjoyed -- Blink, The Girl in the Fireplace, the pre-WWI school and River Song 2-parters -- were Moffatt creations. It's too bad, really. David Tennant's Doctor -- and John Simm's Master, for that matter -- really deserved a better showrunner than RTD.
