A fun thing about the Beast Below is that when the Doctor contemplates lobotomising the space whale he says "and then I find a new name, because I won't be the Doctor any more". Early foreshadowing for the War Doctor or just coincidence?? Clearly just coincidence, but a cool one imo.

My favourite bit of this was "Rory! Thought I'd burst out of the wrong cake... again..." He'd done it multiple times and still thought it was the best way of going about it.

CobiWann posted:Oh, and I can’t find it at work, but Eleven popping out of the cake at Rory’s bachelor party and all the little awkward moments that followed. This has just made me think about Rory getting erased by the cracks again. All the evidence of what was removed isn't just immediately gone when that happens; Amy exists despite her parents not, her ring still exists despite her fiance not. His bachelor party was before the erasure, so it would have been retconned by it, as would previous events where he was a focus; birthday parties, dates, shifts at the hospital. So did they just become really weird and awkward when people started thinking about the situation for more than five seconds? Did his friends realize they were having a bachelor party for no reason? What were the logistics behind a nurse just plain not existing, given nurses do pretty important stuff in hospitals? I'm not even nitpicking or anything about this, it's by no means a negative about the show or the plot. The cracks were just such a fantastically weird concept, and I love thinking about what the hell they actually did.

Or met someone for the first time and felt like they've known them all their lives. Time is being rewritten all around us every day. People think their memories are bad, but their memories are fine. The past is really like that." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R58Xj1oR-cQ

I think people have covered some of the best moments, but of course, there's also when he does that little laugh and jogs around the TARDIS console, right after saying the "madman with a box" line. I also have a weird affinity for the line "Somebody's been peeking at my Christmas list!" (I had to check which episode it's even in - A Town Called Mercy). Matt Smith was a great Doctor and hopefully he comes back for an anniversary down the line, or Big Finish gets the license to write the Eleventh Doctor Adventures and its spin-off, The Last Centurion.

For me, the best is probably the shot in The Rings Of Ahkhaten where you see him in profile up against the god-planet, and you'd swear you were looking at a hunched-over 90-year-old. Also his very cross exchange with Clara just before. "You're going to fight it, aren't you?" "Regrettably yes, I think I may be about to do that." And while I like the speech, I think "...can you hear them singing?" is the single best line in the whole drat thing. (I am aware that many incorrect people don't like this episode. I like this episode.) Also, though this isn't really just about Matt Smith, obviously, in Day of the Doctor, "You might say I've been planning this all my lives..."

CobiWann posted:Nine hundred-plus years old and he’s still hoping to find a bad guy who’ll spill his secrets at a moment’s notice. For me, it shows Eleven’s age AND optimism…and the part with the psychic paper showing the First Doctor was just a nice little callback moment. That wasn't the psychic paper, that was his old library card from when he was the First Doctor in London, he's been carrying it in his pocket for nine hundred years. quote:Oh, and I can’t find it at work, but Eleven popping out of the cake at Rory’s bachelor party and all the little awkward moments that followed. The little twitch at the end when he's about to say something more and then rethinks it as it goes into the credits is amazing. Matt Smith's a master of the physical comedy.

Eleven just rambles it off in that quick way of his and moves on to plan B.

The editing deserves a lot of credit for this one too. They cut to the credits at the exact right moment to sell the joke.

I loved him whispering 'diabetic' so much. I'm not even sure why. Favourite Smith moment that no one has already mentioned? His speech in Stonehenge. The way he delivers it is like he's a drunk saying ''come and 'ave a go if you think you're 'ard enough''. My absolute favourite part of that, however, is right before the speech itself, when he drops the mike. It's just perfect.

Despite how corny it is, my favourite Matt Smith moment is probably the speech he has in Rings of Akhaten. "Can you hear them? All these people who've lived in terror of you and your judgement? All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves, to you. ...Can you hear them singing?" Matt Smith absolutely loving kills that speech, which in lesser hands would have just made me cringe and/or roll my eyes. And he just keeps doing it, in every episode he's in. He never puts in a bad performance. Except for that Wardrobe episode but we don't talk about that.

Also the sheer happiness he sells as he dances around the console after getting confirmation the TARDIS can still hear/understand him at the end of The Doctor's Wife

My favourite is all of them. Remember when we just had the teaser image for Matt Smith and their marketing made him look like he was going to be all "cool" and "sexy"? And then what we actually got was perfect.

since most people itt like to laugh at idiots forced to consume media they hate for the audience's enjoyment, I strongly suggest everyone check out the podcast (if they like listening to podcasts) the worst idea of all time, in which two new zealand comedians watch and review grown ups 2 once a week, every week, for a year

The whale garbage-vomit scene in that one was his first experience with RTD-level grossout humor, and the statement as the wave was coming always makes me smile: "Right then, this isn't going to be big on dignity."

My bad, after looking it up said relative was far more prominent in the first, reduced to a cameo in the sequel.

On the subject of favorite Eleven stuff, I'm gonna go with all the 'implied' scenes. It's not like with Ten's implied stuff, where it's all just 'there's adventures going on that we're not seeing' (although to their credit, I did like seeing the occasional callback to that setup). There's just a bunch of hints in the dialog that Eleven is a total weirdo whose brain works in strange ways. This is a guy who hid in multiple wedding cakes in hopes that eventually he'd turn up at the right party, and who just doesn't get why people wouldn't want bunk beds. His run is full of nods to the fact that Eleven is a crazy person who just doesn't get normal logic and thought process, and it's great.
