Even after #10's death, I've been hearing a lot of people still crying and complaining over Tennant's leave (coughhackvigacoughhack), and I can understand why as he is without a doubt the best Doctor out of the ten that have played him thus far (eleventh remains to be seen). But one thing these people need to realize is that while the actor is different, it is always the same character no matter what. It took me about three Doctors to realize that. No matter who portrays him, no matter what kind of personality every Doctor has had and shall have in the future: he is still the same Doctor even after 50 years. He will always stand for good, fix any and all anomalies in time, and be a defender of justice. That is what really matters in the end.

But...no one will EVER be as hot as 10. He's so cute, pretty and a time lord! So far 5 is close and not counting Doctors, Jack is second hot. Squee!</p>
He is a handsome bastard I will give him that, plus his simultaneous love and hatred of humanity was both adorable and frightening.

But what you're forgetting is for a lot of people, that is THEIR doctor who, especially Americans, as Tennant was the Doctor when Dr Who became very popular in America. Matt Smith is an unacceptable and weird to them as David Tennant is to someone whose doctor was the 9th, or the 4th, or the 1st. They'll still watch it, and probably like it, because let's face it, it's still Dr Who, But it's just not THEIR doctor.

It's a lot like the people who say that Final Fantasy 7 is their favorite game of the series. Sure there are games that came before it that were better but since it was their introduction to the series, they consider that to be their favorite.
Matt Smith is awesome. Having a main writer that can actually write a decent script is awesome The new assistant is awesome. (Although that outfit may have had an impact on my opinion on this) All round, it is awesome.
So, my wife and I just watched the Eleventh Hour. It was awesome, and cemented my appreciation for Steven Moffet(though "Coupling" had already done that years ago). Matt Smith, awesome new Doctor, it's great how he's captured just a few aspects of Tennant but is creating his own personality as well. And Amy Pond is pretty interesting too, I can hardly wait to get to know her more through the season.
I watched yesterday with my brother an my sister. I liked it a lot and I get why the Doctor's personality is similar to the Tenth Doctor. I think they want to easy the audience on the new Doctor. I had no problem with it. However, my brother really was annoyed by this and he thought that the 11th Doctor was to fast paced and that he also ran a lot. Which is completely different from David's first episode (where he rested in bed for 80% of it). I saw the psudo-twist miles away by the way. Then again I do not think it was suppose to be a surprise to anyone since they show that special item at the end. By the way is it me or Amy was crazy-obsesed with the Doctor since the first time he met him. Also, I have never heard of her profession before this episode. It looks like fun :P
I just watched The Eleventh Hour and I have to say that I like the revamp of the show in general and the new Doctor in particular. I'm really looking forward to this season. ^_^
That episode was awesome. Seriously, they should've made Steven Moffat lead writer ages ago: "The Empty Child" / "The Doctor Dances" (2005) "The Girl in the Fireplace" (2006) "Blink" (2007)
I enjoyed the episode, and at times, it felt like I was watching a classic Doctor Who episode from around the fifth Doctor era. This has me very excited for the rest of the season.
