Yeh to a lot of this. I really miss the smart suit & duster - Matt looks DOWDY & a bit unironed, which may fit the mad prof look I guess but just lacks lord-of-the-universe style yet again (added on to the withdrawn acting style). Matt himself actually looked way better on DWC I thought with more uplifted hair; but I guess right now that would be Just Too Tennant - maybe next series?
But I did somehow like him much more in this ep as the Doctor which I take as a hopeful sign - some kind of emotional signals were definitely travelling between 11 and Amy and 11 and River (and indeed 11 & Octavian) - and I don't mean re Amy just the last 10 mins!! which I thought were just fun and the most honest reaction the show has had to the reality that if you were travelling with the most exciting man in the universe, well what would you do girls?? So anyway I'm taking this ep and ep 1 to prove that Matt can do oK if not heart stoppingly when given good material - but just dies when given bad ( ie V of the Daleks) where Tennant would aways have scooped the most out of anything :(
