I've been trying to find Matt Smith's work in the BBC adaptation of Ruby in the Smoke online, just for a taste of how he acts.....anyone have any suggestions?
miss_molly said:I have to agree. He doesn't look very "Doctor Who" at all ..... oh well, I guess once I see a few episodes with him in I may change my mind....
OOOOOOO! Thems is fightin words!!! Jon Pertwee is one of my favorite Doctors! What Pertwee episode did you watch that made you think he was bad? I'll send you the title of a better one....bobalooba said:Just give matt smith a chance and unless he's as bad as jon pertwee I think it'll merit watching more.
Well, I don't blame you from walking away from Day of the Daleks with a bad impression. Some good Pertwee stories that are out on DVD:bobalooba said:the jon pertwee episode I saw that turned me off was day of the Daleks.
I also saw the five doctors in which I was fairly indifferent to him.
I really can't pick favorites. He's a splendid fellow, all of them.bobalooba said:WHICH DOCTOR(s) IS YOUR FAVORITE?
Hemingway Jones said:I think this is probably where I get off of this show. Tennant was brilliant, as was Eccelston. Matt Smith however may be the finest actor of his generation, but he is totally wrong for this role. In fact, it's the cynicism of it all that offends me. It seems that the show has been bitten by the "Twilight" bug and that they felt, to retain the younger audience, they had to find a boyish Doctor and a teenage sidekick in an odd stripper-like fake police uniform.
Actually, it's entirely different. Tennant may have been a relative unknown, but he was quite known to me, being a fan as I was of "Bright Young Things."LordBest said:This conversation parallels the one that occured when they announced the little known actor David Tennant for the role of Doctor back in 2006. I will give the new one a shot and see how he does. Moffat thinks he will be brilliant and that counts for something.
Smuterella said:I am altogether more bothered about the change in writers.
Brad Bowers said:This was my thought on the matter, too. I don't know anything about Matt Smith, other than what I saw on the show last night, but I'm wishing they had gone with someone older. As for companions, I liked Donna Noble (eventually) far more than Rose Tyler or Martha Jones precisely because she was older and didn't have the blatant crush on the Doctor.
I'll give the new season a go, mostly because I've liked the episodes that Steven Moffat's written, and with him running the show now there should still be some good stories.

Hemingway Jones said:Well, the writing of the show has declined overall since season three. They tend to throw too much in at a time. "Blink" seems to be about as good as it got.
