@KatMagenta- So I take it you are in the camp of not caring so much for Matt Smith as the Eleventh doctor? You know, personally I think it is the lack of Russell T Davies writing. His story arcs literally brought tears to my eyes. Steven Moffat is a good writer (I really enjoyed "The Girl in the Fireplace", and oddly enough, the echo of the "The Eleventh Hour" is my favourite Matt Smith episode), but none of his stories are arcs have moved me nearly as much as the combination of RTD and Eccleston and/or Tennant.
