Freeze, you silly goose.
You keep on having to make Doctor Who topics.
There's never enough info all year round for the topic to be updated. Shame.
I always get a smile on my face when I see your DW topics though. :P
Ecclestone is my favourite of the reboot series, just for his sombre dramatic tone.
He really felt troubled by his recent past, which obviously will be revealed in much more detail by the new Anniversary Special Movie and whatnot!
And when he did break that character into enjoyment it was much more special and brought the character to life.
For example, the episode "The Doctor Dances".
David Tennant was also very good. His over-the-top excited style was quite fun, if sometimes a little bit boring.
But his dramatic moments always brought it back to the ground *cue tennant stood in the rain .gif*
Matt Smith is alright, but I've not connected with his character much at all.
I can't help but think that he really did not have a proper style set about him, and he and the writers just kept trying out all sorts of things with him, which never stuck.
Compare that to Ecclestone and Tennant, who seemed to have their characters down and set the moment they appeared on screen, and Smith just came across as amateurish.
The writing for the Smith seasons were also quite poor in comparison to the stories for Ecclestone and Tennant, which seemed consistently good.
The companions were also more annoying with Smith, and the story seemed too focussed upon them.
Throw in how the BBC decided to ridiculously change it's scheduling, and the whole thing just crumbled.
Episodes weren't meaningful, the storylines felt stale, the companions (or rather, Amy) was constantly in the spotlight, episodes were split apart across half a year so the series didn't flow well at all and the Doctor didn't meet the standards set before him.
I've enjoyed the past few Smith series, but I have been disappointed with them, and am in some ways, quite happy to see Smith go.
