A) The "fake geek girl" thing guys do needs to die out immediately.
B) You obviously don't know much about women (or really, anyone who's attracted to men) if you don't think they're going to find Capaldi attractive.
Wow, just wow at what you said. Of course there is going to be women who find Capaldi attractive, but for you to think that there aren't fake fan girls out there, is just disillusion. I have talked to 5 girls, that all said they only watched Doctor Who because of Tennant and Smith and "They don't know how they feel about Capaldi." I find a lot of the female companions attractive, but I am a fan of the show first, before I am a fan of the actors. In fact my ex girlfriend is even one of those girls, that might not watch the show since the new Doctor is an older gentlemen. I removed my last sentence on this, because I don't know if you were trying to insult me, or not. Sometimes I forgot I'm on an aspergers forum a lot of times things can be misinterpreted.
CommanderKeen, I agree that there are fake Doctor Who fan girls out there but the way you came across in your post seemed to generalise all female Whovians as people who only watch the show because they find the lead actor attractive. I have a fandom account on Twitter and I've seen hundreds of girls flailing over Peter Capaldi and even the people who don't find him attractive are still excited to see what he can bring to the role. I'm pretty sure brackets wasn't trying to insult you, just trying to make a similar point.
I do agree with you that there are fake Whovians out there though.
I hope I'm not coming across as rude in my post. If I am I don't mean it.

That's not how I was trying to come across, which is why I stated "Having an older Doctor however, will ween out the fake Doctor Who "OMG he's so cute." fan girls." using the world fake to distinguish between the real fans and fake fans. I'd ask to join you fandom account, but I don't have twitter. By the way, you weren't coming off rude at all, so no worries.

I love Doctor Who 
I can't wait for Peter Capaldi, I think since he is an actual fan (much like David Tennant) he will have a better understanding of the role than Matt Smith. Matt was much more of a Sylvester McCoy style doctor with the puppy-like behaviour going through to a more grounded character at the end of his regeneration.
Don't get me wrong - I love both Sylvester and Matt and was fangirling shamelessly with my friend at the 50th anniversary convention in London, but David Tennant and Tom Baker are my favorites (from the re-boot and classic series respectively, I don't feel that its fair to compare re-boot with classic. It is still the same series but so much has changed that it may as well be considered a different series, like in Star Trek - there are several series each with their own separate seasons.)
I notice that quite a few people have avoided the last couple of seasons due to Stephen Moffat's involvement. I personally think that Stephen Moffat was needed because although Russel T Davies was wonderful with David, he would not have suited Matt at all. I think that Matt did an admirable job in following David who most of the fans of the show that I know thought could never be followed.
Sorry for the essay but fantasy and sci-fi is my passion!

I quite enjoyed reading that. It's always nice to find someone passionate about the series.
