Now it's all over (kinda)

Personally, I'm torn between Ecclestone and Smith for favourite Doctor.

I've had an odd feeling from this season - it's seemed less dramatic than the previous ones, and part of me has felt less excited. But I've also enjoyed it a lot more. I think that part of me has been confused by NOT BEING SHOUTED AT ALL THE TIME, and has been wondering if that means the show isn't as good any more. Clearly not :->

The more I've seen of Matt Smith, the more he reminds me of Patrick Troughton in that slightly mad-cap jester sort of way. Specially when he talks to himself in ways that are nonsensical to the other characters and occasionally to the audience too. But like Troughton he could also be deadly serious when he had to and then you got that glimpse of the ancient and weary being underneath.

Matt Smith feels more like an 'old' Doctor (in the 1960's/70s/80s sense rather than 900 years) than the other two did. I like that.

Yeah, the whole of this latest season feels a lot more timeless, and I love it for that.

Yes, I'd go with the slightly heretical view that Eccleston wasn't actually that good. Or rather, he was brilliant in his own way but not very Doctor-ey. Matt Smith, on the other hand, seems to have regenerated directly from Sylvester McCoy.
