I tried to give him a chance, I did. I tried to go into it with an open mind, quite vividly remembering my initial dislike of David Tenant after getting used to Christopher Eccleston. Every Doctor is different, and different is not necessarily bad.
I think the problem is that so far, Matt Smith isn't different. He's playing Tenant's doctor, and he's not Tenant. He doesn't have goofy good looks. To be honest, in the looks department, that hair has to go. There was a scene that showed him with wet hair, and he looked a million times better without the poof on his head.
I won't stop watching Dr Who, and I won't stop trying to like Doctor Eleven. But I honestly can't see myself warming to him (hopefully in a few months I'll look back on this entry and say "what was I thinking?!"). His companion, who I had severe doubts about, I'm finding I like quite a bit, though, so there's a bright spot. We shall see.
In other news, I henna-ed my hair and it smells like a dirty ashtray, even after several vigorous shampoos. I will post fully on my henna experience (and everyone can tell me what I did wrong!) with pictures tomorrow, but now it is late, and I am tired. Watching Ninja Warrior is tiring, seeing all that work they do!
