I almost want to say that Eleven will be MY doctor, but I'm too attached to Nine to say that quite yet. But he is already coming perilously close!
I think I love most his enthusiasm. The theory that I've really like before is that a Doctor becomes somewhat distant from his previous emotions upon regenerating, unless the people he loves are right there (as Rose was when Nine regenerated). I love this Doctor. I love that he's a bit of a smug snake and that crack he made go away in the TARDIS at the end - was that genuine confusion or just annoyance? hmm.
but on topic! Eleven is amazing. He flips between everything so easily, and Matt Smith really did a fantastic job in this episode, so fantastic. I just. *flaily hands* Enthusiastic and resourceful with a hint of smug bastard! I LOVE it.
I also love that the companion role has been flipped a little bit here because he ... not disappointed, he failed her. Twice, in a way. And now it's his job to make it up to her.
