I LIKE HIM!!!!!
Having read some rather unkind comments about Matt Smith, and his performance as Dr Who, I want to stand up for the guy and say I LIKE HIM!!!!!! I think he's a talented and intelligent actor, really unique, quirky, and funny. give him a chance! I loved the other Doctors - especially Eccleston and Tennant - but Matt Smith's Dr is also unique and really likable - and I really like the new companion too - I think Karen gillian is charming and funny too! I really enjoyed the 1st episode - he is different, but just as good as the other Doctors in his own way.
Its very easy to be critical, and say that an actor is crap - but be really honest - COULD YOU DO BETTER??
Unless you could do a better job than the actor you are criticising, and have been in their shoes and done a better job, then should keep your comments and criticism fair and polite. If you dont like him or his interpretation thats fine, and you are entitled to you opinion - but making blunt statements, like "he's a wan k e r or he's ugly, or he's a crap actor" etc are really unfair and uncessary.
Be excellent to each other!!
