..Dr.Who!
I wish he would make plans so I can start watching this again. It's like watching a poor childrens tv drama now.

Go away!
Most of us here love Matt in the role.
A bit mean on the part of the mods - it's like throwing the OP to the wolves!*
Anyway, I will merely state that I don't agree with the OP. It is very good news for me that the lovely Matt is staying in DW, though I am, of course, sorry to hear that you are not enjoying DW currently.
*No offence. I like wolves.;)
Welcome. Enjoy your visit!!:D:D:D
Please, just accept that DW isn't for you anymore and just get on with your life, instead of critizing BAFTA-Nominated, NTA Best Actor Award-Winning Matt Smith.
You don't like him? Fine. But the vitriol against him is unnessesary.
Millions of people around the world do like, maybe even love him as the Doctor.
This is good news. Deal with it.
I'm hoping Moffat writes a really good new companion for him - someone with a much more ordinary back story than Amy.
Very sad news indeed!
All we can do now is sit here and wait for the next 14 year axe to happen.
Still, even that is better than carrying on as it is at the moment.
(This is a genuine opinion to which I'm entitled to post. Try thinking of something else to negate it other than call me a troll as that is a non-constructive post and also addresses nothing.)
How many forum rules did you want to break in one go?
Newsflash: The world doesn't revolve around just your opinion. Others have a right to theirs and are just as valid. They are not trolls or haters or stupid.
I wasn't when it came back in 2005. Then it was a fantastic piece of TV drama suitable of all ages and even non-sci-fi fans alike.
Then the new lot came along and ruined it.
I love MS's Doctor. Far more enjoyable and watchable that David Tennant's. My issue is with the stories though: I haven't got the faintest idea what the Doctor is doing or why he is doing it.
Glad MS is staying. He's got real energy and fun. He looked like he might be getting a bit snivelly towards the end of the last series (which was one of the main reasons I disliked DT's Doctor), but that didn't last long.
Well, that's your opinion, around which the world does not indeed revolve.
However, whether you like it or not, the vast majority of TV watchers disagree with your views which is why Matt and Karen were voted best actor and actress, and why Doctor Who is regularly in the top ten most watched shows, and regularly scores well above average Audience Appreciation.
I don't think that if the show was 'ruined' then any of the above would be happening.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and any message board should welcome diversity of views. God knows we see enough differences of opinion on this board. But personal opinion is not fact. Not liking Doctor Who is vastly different from the show actually being rubbish.
I like snivelly Doctors.
Yeah sure it is. And Bros were better than The Beatles and Jeffrey Archer a better author than Charles Dickens.
Brave heart, Granny.
No need to try. You are indeed entitled to your opinion, trouble is you said "we" when you meant "I".
He was especially cartoonish in that bit where he was running through the city with Graham Norton and the giant rabbit.
Oh, wait...
Very few actors would take the risk of leaving a presumably well paid and certainly very high profile ongoing job unless they were either bored and/or disenchanted with it, or had what they thought was an even more career-enhancing definite job lined up.
Almost all screen actors aspire to one day do a high profile movie role, and I'm sure that if he had a cast-iron offer from Hollywood Matt would seriously consider it, he'd be mad not to.
As with David Tennant's decision to return to the theatre, this would inevitably compromise Matt's ability to commit to DW, and that is the point at which we will probably lose him.
I personally think he's a very good and versatile actor who has always shone on screen with the brilliant material he's had to work with, and also with the not so brilliant.
As regards his portrayal of the Doctor, as with DT he's fundamentally playing it the way he's been told to play it, which is what all actors do.
People are quite entitled to dislike his portrayal of the character, but don't blame Matt personally!
' you love Matt Smith, I hate Matt Smith '
or
' I love Matt Smith, how could you hate Matt Smith'
... debate anymore. It's been done to the death. Nothing more to say on it at all. I don't know how it hasn't drove regular forum visitors up the bloody wall and rendered them insane...
