In my rewatch I've reached 11th Doctor's first season and I'm reminded how my low expectations for Matt Smith were crushed under his unexpectedly great performance. He looked like a gangly kid in his mid-20s and I was convinced that he wouldn't be able to bring depth to the role. In The Eleventh Hour, although I loved his somewhat goofy portrayal the moment he stepped through the images of all his past selves to declare to the Atraxi, "I am the Doctor", I was sold.

In Victory of the Daleks, the cold rage he brought to the Daleks realistically portrayed a being drawing upon the long, long battle with an enemy he wanted so deeply to defeat.




And that pre-credits scene from The Time of Angels solidified my love both for River Song and the Doctor/River Song relationship.
