I would have been perfectly fine worshipping at the shrine of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor for the rest of eternity, but it's time to move on (or at least stop watching so many re-runs of "Doomsday").
Last week, the finale of the current season of Doctor Who aired in the UK. While I won't spoil it for BBC America watchers, I will say this. The episode, "The Big Bang", is one of my favorite episodes, ever. It was serious, elaborate, and so full of joy at the end that it left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside (and I have been listening to Aphrodite for three days at this point).
It was also the episode where I finally saw Matt Smith as the Doctor, and not "the really awkward guy that hired when they couldn't pay David Tennant enough money to stay another year". For me, he really embodied everything I loved about the Tenth Doctor: the wit, the hilarity, the melancholy. There is one particular scene that really tugged at my heartstrings a bit.
So, basically, Matt Smith is to David Tennant as Daniel Craig is to Sean Connery.
Congrats, old chap, and see you at Christmas!
