Doctor Who: 10 Reasons Matt Smith's Departure Is A Major Mistake

1. It Feels Like We€™re Still Getting Started!

doctor who review Arcs and mysteries aside, I feel like there€™s still so much more we need to see from the Eleventh Doctor. His relationship with Clara, River, Strax, Vastra and Jenny€ I want more! Maybe it's because we€™ve had two series splits (essentially two series in three years), but I don€™t feel I€™ve got enough stories for my money. Where the show is now, it feels like the middle act of the Eleventh Doctor€™s story. We began with Amy and Rory. Now we have Clara and her impact across all the Doctors€™ lives. It feels like the third act is still to come. And one or two specials doesn€™t feel enough. Two or three years would be much better! I€™m already looking forward to what the Twelfth Doctor brings to the show, but I am going to miss Matt Smith€™s performance terribly. Simply put, I could watch the Eleventh Doctor reading a book aloud for 45 minutes. That says something about how good he is! He will be missed€ Do you agree that Matt Smith will be a major miss? Should he stay on? Share your own picks below.
