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

"His humanness allowed him to be a bit too identifiable in my opinion." I don't think anyone can identify with the things the Doctor goes through. I think you are mistaking the realism of his character for over-simplicity in his character. "When he says "I can't", yes it adds a bit of mystery, but you've been following his character, and you could probably make some accurate assumptions for his motives, because he functions like a human." True, but I think that you don't need to have no idea why someone might do something to remain mysterious. "The Doctor isn't just a very human alien. He's just an alien who's taken a very special liking toward Earth." I disagree. If the Doctor was just some strange alien and did not have a lot of human characteristics and did not function like some type of human, no one would want to watch the show. Because he cares and loves as humans do, but still has his unique alien qualities, he is interesting and compelling to watch. "The thing with Eleven is that he delivers his dialogue so fast and sharply, so much so that you sorta felt that something "went wrong" during regeneration." You are saying David Tennant doesn't do the fast, sharp talking thing? I can post a youtube video of him doing that if you like. "but that no Doctor but Tennant had ever taken such a human approach on the guy." I think this is what makes him one of the best Doctors. When you watch the tenth Doctor you feel as if you are having an intimate relationship with him of some kind; as if you yourself have traveled with him and he loved you as a friend and you loved hi back that way. His honesty and his warmth make his performances very realistic and compelling and causes an intimacy with the audience unlike any Doctor before in my opinion. "It was always that the Doctor's intelligence and knowledge of the human race prevented him from acting like one of them." I think this kept him from having many negative human characteristics like arrogance, ignorance, etc. I think he is almost like the perfect human. He cares about everyone, he is intelligent, he is witty and funny, he always tries his hardest, and even though he makes mistakes he always learns from them. Maybe those "perfect" qualities make him less human because hardly anyone can achieve those things. "He had a respect for them, yes, but most of the time you can sense that he looks upon them with a sort of novelty." I disagree. I think he loves the human race more than other species because he likes and then embodies our immense emotional and intellectual capabilities. He also loves how every human is greatly different and still similar to one another. I don't think he views us as a "novelty" or he wouldn't come back to Earth all the time, spend so much time saving us personally, and keep having human companions. "However character development wasn't really the purpose of series 5. He didn't have any real love interest, no real big loss or collapse, it was just sort of to set him up." I think this is a very weak argument. The purpose of the writer of a season is not to enact character development. It is the job of the actor to show exactly how and why the character develops because of its surroundings and happenings. There really was not much character development through all of season 5. The Doctor did not really change at all, nor did his relationship with Amy Pond progress in any way towards her, although her feelings for him did. "Also, you can't put all of the character development solely on Tennant. He gained the companion that has already been established with the 9th Doctor, so not ALL of the character development was in his series 2" This is untrue. When a Doctor regenerates, he becomes a completely different and new person. In the second season, Rose and the Doctor had to begin their relationship all over again because it was like they had never met. This made Rose very upset. So, every development in that season was David Tennant's doing.
