Welcome to Matt Smith as the new Doctor. Though, so far I have found him to be very bland and boring. He lacks that certain charm that previous Doctors have possessed.
I know it was the first episode but he really does seem to be short of the personality that David Tennant had. I kept waiting for him to say it like he meant it, but he didn't.
Even in really life he comes across as dull. I know that even dull people can appear extremely entertaining on screen but Matt Smith didn't do this for me. It felt like Eleven was just running through the motions and his heart was not in it.
Ten has always been vibrant, sparkling and totally entrancing and I really miss that in this quiet modest Doctor.
Hopefully he will liven up a little or else I may lose interest in a series that I have enjoyed for the last 5 years.

People thinking they need to start a new thread every time they have a random thought rather than adding to the existing torrent of topics
yeah. what a f*ckin tragedy that would be.
that made me laugh
and for some reason I read that in the style of Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny"
Really? made me think of Nessa off gav and stace.
Ta ra!
WTF.
No the new dr is fine and the series , doesnt make me cry thank god , Tennant had done that alreday for five years bless !
!
You'd probably be better off ignoring this thread people, but I bet you won't...:D
I am not being nasty or showing favouritism, just giving a civil opinion. I cannot see any spark in Matt Smith's performance. I want there to be one. What is so wrong in that.
Nothing at all
In fact i admire the fact that you are not just going to turn off like some other forum members. You are actually willing to watch and give him the chance to grow on you
Should have gone to Specsavers!
I can't believe that a self-confessed Who fan could ever say that of Matt's Doctor-ownage performance. Did you watch the right show?
Sorry, just a bit of fun and editing of the OP comment
I'm sorry if I got it wrong but I don't understand the need for you to have your own thread. As you say a lot of threads with the same idea have been created. It is for that reason that most come to the conclusion that your either a troll or someone obsessed with creating their own forum.
Touche!;)
I think the problem with your inital post is that we've only seen Matt in one episode and therefore you haven't given him enough time to settle into the roll; you're not in a position of being able to give a true opinion of him in just one episode - and nor is it fair to. David, as good as he was, took a while to settle in - even he has admtted that.
I hope you aren't an attention seeking troll and spouting off just for the hell of it and are willing to give Matt, who I believe to a good actor and great choice for the role of the Doctor, the chance he deserves

because chances are now that someone will start a thread lamenting all fans that don't like Matt Smith as one and in droves....
This used to be a friendly place to come. Read back on my posts and see that I've been here before on a few occasions and never knowingly caused mischief. I would not do that then and I would not do that now.
Dear Mods, please would you merge or delete this thread as appropriate.
Not half as dull as you mate.
He might grow on you, give it time. I'm a big sad git myself though, and loved the performance immediately. Just felt he nailed it. Others weren't so sure. Never mind eh?
Sorry, I'm not suggesting that you are creating any mischieve....it's just that your one innocent post/thread is going to be counterargumented with ten other threads all saying that people should let go of DT.....and then belittle views like yours. So if you had posted in the main two threads, your opinion would have been seen, and the reaction that it got wouldn't have been there.
I didn't mean to sound horrible....I'm sorry...I'm just tired of the crazy threads out there
The whole premise was wrong from the start, from the sudden leap forward in time to the half-assed explanations at the end.
The lead was totally out of his depth in the presence of a previous Doctor, and the sidekick was a right royal pain in the bum!
Thankfully. that nice lady from One Foot In the Grave saved the whole sorry mess from its AmDram pit.
The whole laptop thing was totally unnecessary, as was the pointless shoehorning of comic book and mythical references.
I for one will not be tuning in again!:(
EDIT: Oops, sorry: that was my Jonathan Creek review!:o
Hahahahahahaha! That made me wee a little bit! (Kidding).
I didn't much like that episode either. Luckily, two out of the three shows I was waiting for turned out really bloody well - those being Doctor Who and Ashes to Ashes. On balance, I'll take Creek being a bit crap as opposed to the others!
