My Thoughts and Speculations On Matt Smith Staying Or Leaving Dr Who

Is this gonna be coming our way at the end of series 7

After all of yesterday’s hub bub about Matt Smith staying or leaving I thought that I should comment on the whole ordeal and share my thoughts.  Well one thing we know for sure is that one day Matt Smith will not be The Doctor.  That is a guarantee like death and taxes.  Yep, Matt Smith will not be The Doctor one day.   Come on it is no big secret every actor from Hartnell to Tennant has left the role. Matt Smith is no exception and he will be gone someday.  But is that day rapidly approaching?

I believe so.  All you have to do is look back to yesterday’s (Wednesday January 26, 2012) cryptic tweets, statements and video as proof.  In one video he says he will be staying for the future.  Well that’s great.  In my thought process the future could be next week, next month or 6 months from now.  Not really a good answer but one that will satisfy those wanting him to stay. 

Then in the same interview he says he has one year left of being The Doctor. What? You just said you love being The Doctor and will be The Doctor for the future but your saying that you have one year left.  I’m confused.  I’m The Doctor for the future must mean only for a year in the future of 2012.  Hmmm.  Does that mean in 2013 he will not be The Doctor filming anything new?  If that is so then it might be possible that he will be a busy actor in 2012 filming series 7 and quite possibly series 8 for 2013. If that quote from a BBC source is to be believed then Matt Smith will be pretty busy getting some breaks to pursue outside work most possibly in Hollywood.  

But then again we could be looking into this a bit too much and the fact that if they do film two series back to back could mean that maybe the Hollywood movie of Doctor Who possibly starring Matt Smith could be filmed in 2013 and be ready for a release date for the weekend of the 50^th Anniversary of Doctor Who.   Well like all things time will tell and it most certainly will but all we have to do is wait and see what transpires.
