This show can suck it, always messing with my emotions.

Guys. I have something to tell you all.
I'm actually not going to Australia for a year, but I've been cast as the next Doctor.
"Why aye, pet, tha Daleks are attack'n."
I know this will be unpopular, but I actually think it's time Smith left, and that this was a good decision.
(SPOILER)Tennant was still better.Allons-y!
I've been stunned by the number of people coming out of the woodwork hoping that this means that Moffat will also be leaving the show because he's run it into the ground. I know that the internet is a popular place to spew stupid opinions, but what?
I think Moffat is a better writer than lead producer, and that most of the 7th season was pretty weak (at least until the last two episodes), but I certainly wouldn't go that far.
Yeah, a lot of people hate his run, but I'm personally with Raistlin on him. Great script writer, not as good as a show runner. I think that overall the RTD era was a bit better in that regard, but that era can also lay claim to some of the best episodes Moffat ever penned. And I certainly wouldn't say that Moffat's turn as show runner has been awful. Uneven in places certainly, but still enjoyable.
The second season of Moffat's run was a bit ropey with the constant POWER OF LOVES but I think it was better than RTD's run overall.
Once Moffat leaves give it a year or two and people will be saying 'the new showrunner sucks! Now Moffat, he was good'. They seem to be doing the same at the moment with Moffat and RTD.

It is a good time that Smith left but he was so superior to Tennant that it is unbelievable. Tennant was too much of an angry-grr Doctor.Originally Posted by Raistlin

Haven't Tennant and Smith wound up doing almost exactly the same number of episodes anyway? Since the show returned, my preference is Smith > Ecclestone > Tennant, but I think they all brought something different and I liked all of them.

Listen. Listen. I love me some David Tennant. I really, really do. He was the first Doctor I was introduced to, and I even have a tattoo with the freaking words "Allons-y."
But. But. BUT. Matt Smith is just better. It's true. It's objective. Yes, objective. He plays whimsy much better than Tennant, and he plays heartbreak better than Tennant. I'd say the one area where Tennant was better was anger/intimidation, but Smith is still incredibly strong with that emotion.
I would in no way every degrade either of them, as they're both brilliant. I could even say that I prefer Eleven, as opposed to preferring Ten. I just love what Matt Smith's done, and it blows my mind that there are actually people out there who think he's a bad actor. Those people also need to divorce script from acting ability (as, overall, the writing in Smith's episodes has been much weaker than the writing in Tennant's.)
tl;dr same trout I always say, different day
Turns out copyright doesn't exist in China. Can watch every episode on Baidu (essentially Google), streaming with absolutely no buffering. Heaven.
Christopher Eccleston will always be my Doctor.
