I've been ready for Matt Smith for a while! I was ready for him long before Tennant announced he was leaving! :lol
The 10th was a great Doctor and I was actually surprised to find that he bumped Tom Baker down to the two spot in my book (Something I thought would never happen).
I'll agree the Ninth Doctor seemed really bitter at first, but I chalk that up to him likely being the incarnation of the Doctor who actually ended the Time War, so he's feeling angry at what his people had become and at himself for the actions he had to take as well as guilty. He did soften over time thanks to Rose.
If you haven't seen it, this sums up how the Doctor started out:

He's referring to Doctors 1-4 being old, then 5 being young and vibrant. What's that got to do with Nine being acerbic?
Id, ego, and super-ego are the three parts of the psychic apparatus defined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described. According to this model, the uncoordinated instinctual trends are the "id"; the organised realistic part of the psyche is the "ego," and the critical and moralising function the "super-ego."
The deal with eccelston was that he took the part on the condition that it was a one year thing for him. I think they wanted more of a name to start the new series off with, though to me, he wasn't much of a name, but him only wanting to do it a year is true. I think it was something about trying to avoid being typecast....
Which is a shame, seeing as how the highest profile thing he's done since was G.I. Joe.
