LOL about Gillian. Yup, "Pretty girl in short skirt" does not an actor make. Have you noticed her in Fires of Pompeii? I didn't until everyone started pointing her out. Acting wise -- she was OVER acting, which **shudders**
Most people think more highly than I do about Matt Smith, it's fine. It's my opinion and how I view actors and what I look for. Perhaps it would be more fair to say: He's good when he's good, it's obvious when he's not. Or: He's got it, but not consistently enough for me.
And I just thought of something, Smith COULD be making a mistake young leads often make: Holding himself back because of Gillian. But has he done any other long-term role? I don't know... it would help me do a better critical analysis if he had. As with most of Series Five: There's really too many variables to know for certian.
I need to do more research on Darvill. Yes he's the best and the most consistent, but there IS that niggling that makes me say, "Is that only because the other's aren't quite up to par?" **Shrugs** Again, I don't know. And since I DO enjoy his work right now, I'm not too keen to find out :P
It happens, no worries :D
