I love Matt Smith's performance - he seems to channel so many past Doctors, in different ways. Most notably Two, of course, but you can see traces of others in there as well.
I'm not so keen on the writing for his era, though. So again, it sets up this huge cognitive dissonance!
Then again, I have similar issues with the Third Doctor's era, because I love almost everything about it, but just can't warm to Jon Pertwee's Doctor. I've tried. I love what the writers did with the character, can totally understand where he is coming from, I just don't enjoy Jon Pertwee's performance. I feel like a heretic whenever I admit it, though!
Still, that's the beauty of the show, isn't it? We can't all love every era, but there is still something for everyone.
