Rumors/Spoilers?

[measi]

Not sure which they are... but going under a cut, for obvious reasons:


Gillian Anderson being lined up for a Doctor Who appearance... supposedly as the Rani:

I dunno. It doesn't quite ring right to me, given Gillian's opinion about TV. Although as a guest appearance, maybe it would work.

And don't get me wrong - my Phile geek girl would squee loudly. And the fandom collision would be epic like Hamlet.

I just don't know whether to believe this or not.

Maybe a better question - red or blonde if this is true? ;)

While like you, I'd squee loudly, I... I'm highly skeptical. It would rock, but man, this is the kind of thing the tabloids love running with. I'll take it with a grain of Phile-flavored salt. :D

Also: would it be too cliche of me to say "red"? *g*

[measi.livejournal.com]

No, not cliche at all - Everyone (including me) seems to be in agreement so far on that. :)

But yeah, I think I'm too much of a skeptic when it comes to any news about Gillian or David these days. Too many years of rumors about things.

That said, I will be a puddle of squee if it happens. I think it's a good thing she wouldn't appear with Ten. I really don't know if I could handle that episode without swooning.

I would love this! I think... It's just so weird to think of her being on TV. I mean I can totally see her doing a miniseries like Bleak House and a guest appearance here and there in a couple of shows... just never thought I'd see her in Doctor Who.

Would be cool!

In terms of the hair... I want to go with "red" as well.

I know! It would be awesome.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. I think fandom would implode, though.

Oh, that would be awesome, and I would *squee* like mad!

Not sure how much stock I put in the report...but I'll hope against hope it's true. My little X-Phile heart would leap with joy!

Voting red. Maybe it's just me, but she seems more natural-looking as a redhead. ;)

Yeah, mine would too.

It's funny... I think she looks more natural-looking as a redhead, too - even though her natural color IS blonde.
