Let's talk about Matt Smith's face shall we? HIS GLORIOUS FACE. I need to start this post with a confession...that I was, in fact, dubious of said AMAZING FACE when I'd only seen it in stills. Now that I have seen it in motion I would like to apologize for how very wrong I was. SO WRONG.

What I specifically want to talk about, though, is how THE FACE (yes, it requires capslock, or the lowercase alternate 'faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace') works to his advantage as the Doctor. Because here's the thing. We know he's young, right. And that could have easily been all wrong with it looking like a kid trying to be a 900 and change time lord. Instead, the MAGNIFICENT FACE is odd enough that it kind of looks instead like 900 plus years of time lordiness got accidentally put together not quite right in this utterly charming way where the youngness is just one more aspect of the alien. It's....perfect.

Is it tomorrow yet?

I love his face and have for quite some time. Fandom made me feel very strange about this!

I like weird faces and I cannot lie
You other fangirls can't deny
That when a Doctor walks in with little tweedy pants
And a forehead the size of France...

And the way he half-dances half-falls through life.

Such a mobile face and body. So Doctorish. Vali says she gets a Two vibe; I can see her point.

P.S. You may want to investigate [community profile] fucking_meds. It is an awesome community that was created so we can all scream at our medication. I am a frequent flyer.

I keep saying this, but it just amazes me how someone can look so weird and be so beautiful at once. Like you say, he's just perfect.

Face to face with the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!


I think it was Moffat who said that Smith looks like a caricature of a handsome man. So true! Ten pounds of face on a five pound capacity head but it works for me, by gum.

This is such an astute observation! I wasn't really enamored with his face at first, but in action it worked. Ans it worked for the doctor. an I think you put your finger on exactly why!

Also, tons of love for sunshine. My kids and I have watched it ridiculous amounts :)
