Also he was shirtless. In case anyone forgot.
i'd been kind of on board until moffat said he was trying to "americanize" it which apparently meant less plot lines and more explosions. :(
But I am really not looking forward to this. I am already feeling the cheesy, roll eyes, second hand embarrassment that is sure to come.
I think Matt's a great actor and it's a shame that his tenure as the Doctor was so badly bungled, but so be it. He needs to get out before he's trapped by this role.
I not so secretly hate 11 dearly.One of my best friends just started watching New Who and is almost caught up. She's not a 10 fan, but loves Donna, like me. And she thinks Nine is far superior. I agree entirely.I also hate that BBC poster.
With that said, I felt like Eccleston slipped easily into the role and gave you a very distinct, defined idea of who his Doctor was. And as much as I love Tennant, I didn't love the idea that 10 often came off as a smug douche a lot of the time. 9 had a heart-aching crush on Rose. 10 seemed like he thought she was a fun chick to have around until suddenly he loved her? I dunno.
But either way, I think Smith would be a million times better if he'd been Doctor under Davies. He tries, but Moffat seems to refuse to decide who this Doctor is. Is he goofy and childlike? Sullen and dark? Eccleston's Doctor was both, and I didn't feel like it made his character unbelievable the way I do with 11.
10 was a smug douche most of the time. The only time he really wasn't was around Jackie and Donna (and family). Nine had very definite moral boundaries and feelings. I think Ten and Rose was the case of not realizing how much love can be taken granted for since she was the person this Doctor had met.
Moffat doesn't want to define the Doctor because it would limit is "arc genius." I don't know if I'd like 11 because Moffat ruined him so. 9 was suffering from PTSD and it showed. He had a definite break from who he'd been previously and the knowledge of what he'd done. Moffat is afraid to pin his ideas down. He's too in love with his own cleverness. RTD had issues, but he knew the boundaries of his characters. Even Rose, who sometimes looked to be a little too practically perfect. I called Amy a poor man's Donna because she was a sexualized Donna on paper but with no chance of being the mate the Doctor desperately needs to counter.
