yeah, matt smith was fine but at 900 or whatever years old i feel the doctor needs some kind of wizened mentor feel, a man who you know could genuinely bring the universe to his knees if he wanted, because he's just that experienced, intelligent, and capable. basically like someone said, i think the characteristics of eccelston's doctor could be explored more.
wouldnt it be something if doctor who got a TNG kind of change, with the doctor taking on a more appropriate picard-esque role, advising and talking through conflict rather than getting trapped with the away team all the time? i mean he already does that anyway, all the running and sonic screwing that require a young doctor never really felt necessary to the character, except to give him and his companion unneeded and unresolved sexual tension.
