Fannish 50 #22: loving the 11th Doctor all over again
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.
