Re: Anyone excited for new Doctor Who episodes?

Exactly! And it wasn't a complete 180 either. Even at the beginning you had Nine rocking out to a jukebox at the end of the world. His quirks were there, but RTD realized it wasn't the quirks that made the character. Nine's character was all about trust, opening up, forgiveness, and facing his actions from the war. He really did have a character arc, culminating in the final moment where he decides that it's better to be a coward than to destroy both sides again.

It's the same with Donna (although like everyone and their mom's I'm still not happy about her ending). Yes, she can be a shrill harpy at times, especially in her first episode, but her character's not about all that. Her journey is one of self-worth, that a person is never "just a temp" and has so much potential and capability of achieving great things, even if they don't realize it.

I'm still not entirely sure what Amy's arc was supposed to be. The fifth season was fine enough. We began with little Amelia and she had to "grow up." But even then, it was the Doctor with the universe saving sacrifice in the Big Bang and Amy's job was to just remember him, which - thinking back - is the first time in New Who that the Doctor's a decidedly more active role in the finale than the companion. And then don't ever get me started on the sixth season.

Also, the thing is Eleven doesn't have to be cynical. If you haven't seen Death of Doctor yet from SJA, I'd definitely recommend. It's the one time that RTD has written Eleven, and it's brilliant. Pretty much everything we've talked about with Nine and Ten's love for everything shows up in Eleven, except for he's still very much Eleven.

I'm not sure about the other Doctor, but I've seen quite of bit of Three and Four and they seemed pretty chill and open with people. And they most certainly did not have Eleven's trait of acting like a spoiled four year old whenever they were forced to stay in the same place for more than an hour.
