The 11th Doctor is Better Than The 10th Doctor.

"Well, a lot of 10th Doctor stories would beg to differ. Sure you can't exactly feel what he's going through but Tennant acts him in a way a human normally does, so it's a bit too easy to indentify what he's going through. With Smith, under that naive skin he has a complex set of things that go over your head, but it's focused on in just the right amount where you don't know what emotion it is exactly, but you know it's there. " In the stories sure you can guess what he is feeling but you can't really relate. I don't think anyone can understand being the last of their kind and wanting your greatest enemy to live because he is the only one of your kind left other than you. (End of season three) Or having to decide to kill an entire city of thousands to save the world. (Fires of Pompei) Or having to become the loneliest creature in the galaxy and give up a chance to have a life with a wife and kids. (Family of Blood) Or never being able to see your beloved ever again and it is your fault. (Doomsday). It's hard for me to argue from the point of view of a normal viewer. I am a trained actress and so when you say "too easy to identify with him", there is no such thing, if you move the audience, you have done your job as an actor. In the acting world, not knowing what emotion the actor is portraying, especially the way you phrased how you think Smith acts, is very bad. The way you phrased his acting sounds like the audience can tell the actor is trying but the actor is not communicating and connecting well enough with the audience for them to understand what is going on with him. So, at least the way you phrased it, you have conceded Tennant to be the better actor. Whether that means he is a better Doctor now I think comes down to our personal opinions. You want him to not be so emotional and human and I want to be inspired and moved by him. "I'm not saying that he has to be totally alien, but when you have an alien that's too human, you really sort of lose the point of him being alien. The most interesting thing is how he interacts with his companions, who are the actual humans. Also, Tennant does do the talking thing but I don't think it's as overwhelminingly quick as Smith does it. Tennant has more of a charming fast talking thing. " I don't feel Smith is more alien than Tennant. But I guess that is just my opinion. I think you are confusing Tennant being very emotional with being too human. Honestly, in his situations, if he had acted any other way people would have been bothered at his coldness. Personally I think both of their fast talking in charming lol. "I mostly agree with this. What it comes down to, though, is that I really don't want to feel that when I watch Doctor Who. That sounds like the sort of thing I'd watch a sitcom or a talk show for. Rather I'd watch more because I'd want to see what the Doctor does next. This was my original point; when he becomes an actual friend, you almost lose that respect for him, and that mystery that usually shrouds his character. " I don't think having an intimate relationship with him makes you not guess what he is going to do next. I always feel that way because in the situations he's in, I think we can both agree neither of us would know what to do lol. Also, even though I feel like I have an intimate relationship with him, I don't feel like he's a normal friend. Like, I he's not like an average friend you can watch football with. I still look up to him and feel he's mysterious. I mean we don't even know his real name! And barely anything about his past. He is a friend, but still mysterious and most importantly inspiring. You still he has a higher understanding and intellect than you and thankfully doesn't look down on you for it lol. I think this keeps the respect you should have for him and his mysteriousness. I always thought that in Doctor cases where he actually chooses his companions (instead of them being lugged onto him) chose them because he thought they were fun. Also, the Doctor has had some human enemies, too. What he likes is the idea of humanity. Over trillions of years, it pushes on and it forces itself to survive. But the "human is greatly different and still similar to one anoher" thing wouldn't be why. The Doctor never takes a companion if he doesn't want them. I disagree with saying he takes them because they are fun. I think the Doctor takes a companion because he likes their character. He thinks they are wonderful people and wants to spend time with them. He doesn't pick companions to amuse him, he takes them because he is lonely and needs good companionship. I don't think the Doctor just likes that humans are determined to survive because so many other species do that as well, like the Daleks who he hates. I definitely think he likes the humanity and uniqueness of every human. " Untrue. When Ninth started, they were just companions. We go into the 10th Doctor's run, and right off the bat the love interest has been established. So the relationship isn't "all over again". I believe that throws the entire character development arguement out. " False. There was not an immediate love connection. Rose was actually very upset that he turned into another person because she'd have to start all over again. I definitely remember that from the first episode of the second season. " Forfeited rounds aside, I honestly did not expect such a strong argument toward Tennant. I thank the CON for the debate. " Thank you ^_^. I think this is because you probably couldn't find a more David Tennant and Doctor Who loving person on all of Debate. org. I mean I can honestly say I've watched every episode with David Tennant at least 3 times. Some of them waaaaaaaaay more than that.
