I hope you have a durable chin, his final lines are so unendurably naff you may be knocked out by them
Oh, I did see when he regenerated. My bf insisted I do so, I think in an effort to sway me into liking Tennant's Doctor "at his best." Yeah... not quite :sly:
He may have been a little melodramatic at times, but I feel the new Doctor is a little too 'human' and lacks that alien timelordy feel.
That's funny because I get the exact opposite feeling from him. From the episodes I remember seeing of Tennant, he fit in almost effortlessly among humans (and when he did toss out the arrogant "Oh, you humans!" line, it wasn't a slip up on his part but something he did knowingly), whereas in The Lodger during Smith's first season he is pretty awful at blending in for more than two minutes in Craig's flat. Among some of my biggest gripes with Tennant's Doctor is that he never really felt old or alien to me. I was railing against Smith as the Doctor because I didn't want a younger Doctor but that first episode of his entirely won me over. He feels old and no offense to Smith but he actually looks quite alien as well!
I guess it all comes down to a matter of personal preference and interpretation. To be fair, I've only seen a handful of the old school episodes for comparison.
