This might be old hat, but I just started watching the new season of Doctor Who, so sue me if I’m late to the game.

I was prepared not to like Matt Smith. Or at least not like him as much as David Tennant. The tenth doctor left on top of his game, and IMO was the best Doctor ever. Especially after his best performance – The Waters of Mars. I liked The End of Time, but it still didn’t match The Waters of Mars IMO. The Eleventh Doctor brings a much different feel to the Doctor. Tennant always seemed to carry a certain manic gravitas. All over the place, infectious, but like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. That was one of the great things about the Tenth Doctor. But a funny thing happened as I started to watch this new Doctor. I started to slowly open up to the possibilities. The Tenth Doctor is gone. He left at the top of his game, and I know I’ll miss him in the role. But there’s a new Doctor, and he definitely shows potential…
