Well, I caught the story that introduced Matt Smith and I really like the aspect of him being like "The Time Traveler's Wife" and seeing this girl throughout her life, which for him has been moments. I always thought they sort of missed the fun aspects of the time travel that way.
However, I found Smith's Dr. to be too goofy. I mean he looked and sounded like an idiot! I do remember times when the Doctors in the past seasons would be confused and need a nudge to sort of remind them of something obvious, but this one seemed to need it all the time.
It looked to me like they were setting her (Pond) up to be the clever voice of reason and Smith was going to be bumbling and tripping through time.
Even the commercials for the new season "in America" where he doesn't know where he is and she does seem to support this.
I will watch it and eventually catch up, I'm sure.
I just hope it gets a little less goofy (does it?)
I really found that I preferred to have a Doctor who was a little more of the all-knowing, all-seeing type, occasionally kicking butt.
I mean, he's the last of the Timelords, right? Not "Cyrano Jones found a time box."
