So I've been watching things lately...

Specifically, lately I've been watching The Sarah Jane Adventures. Yes, I'm still a child. Or possibly I just refuse to grow up.

But I just watched Death of the Doctor. It's really quite interesting watching this. Or more specifically, as I heard from kilodalton seeing the difference between Eleven as written through S5/6 and as written by RTD is quite amazing. Seriously, I can see how people can appreciate Matt Smith, he gets more depth in this story than he did in most of the last 2 seasons of Doctor Who. When you watch him in this you can see the potential he has to play the Doctor with actual emotional depth. It's a shame he's been stuck with only a couple of writers who were willing to actually deal with character development.

So all I really have to say to that is...

nothing wrong with SJA, it's very well written for a kids show, and Liz is just awesome anyway :)

But yes, I totally agree, and have said so myself in the past, that the problem with Eleven, (for em at least) is not MS, but the crappy writing.

I saw Death Of The Doctor a while ago, as did hubby, and we both immediately commented on the difference between RTD's Eleven and the one we've been stuck with through S5-6, and how much better RTD's version was

Exactly, well written kids shows are still perfectly acceptable :)

I seen a few people say that and I completely agree. It's not Matt Smith that makes Eleven problematic, but the writing. It's sort of sad how much difference there is between Eleven on DW and SJA.
