Who? Who??

So I was sitting here procrasti…er…reflecting on some of my past observations here and getting depressed at the revelation I never have an original thought. I mean every time I think I’ve come up with an unusual concept, other people have covered the territory. Like that thing about Mickey Rourke. Or how Keira Knightley’s voice is offensive. And who knew so many people wanted John Simm to be the new Doctor, too?

And then I started to think about the recent announcement of David’s Tennant’s replacement on Doctor Who, and how it wasn't my Johnny. He really should have gotten the role and now the franchise is missing out on a golden opportunity. I’m not happy.

More importantly who is this other new guy? Matt Smith? Smith? Really? Sounds a little too convenient to have the same last name as one of the Doctor’s frequently used aliases. But who knows? Maybe it’s Matty’s real alias because I swear I’ve seen this guy somewhere before and I know that guy was not “Matt Smith.” Hmm.

AHA! I think I’ve got it. Now, let me just put my incredible photoshopping skills to work and I shall unmask this man, Scooby Doo Style. Or, in the following case, I need to mask him to prove my point.

Here is the so-called Matt Smith:

Slap on some heavier eyebrows:

Add mangled beard:

And finally give him a longer, parted in the middle, unkempt hairdo and you’d have:

Former Geico pitchman and star of the short-lived ABC series, Cavemen.

So that’s what happened to that guy. Shaved, got a new doo and new name. And now he’s the new Doctor. I’m not feeling optimistic. Sigh…Let’s just hope Matt “Don’t-Call-Me-Capt-Caveman” Smith doesn’t turn out to be the Ted McGinley of Doctor Who.
