Perhaps stating that Tennant is my favorite so far that I have seen would be more accurate, though it can change. Tennant had the look like he could explain the theory of relativity to a wall and have it show it understood him.
I think the thing that puts me off is that Smith looks younger then his companion and that hasn't happened before or so I believe.
As for the angels, Blink as I said was excellent for the reasons we agree on. However they went from Dalek level enemy to a lot less IMO due to having a a planet of them foiled.
Blink had an immensely complex story and your jaw dropped at how the doctor managed to get out of it and made the angels something you knew not to screw with.
The planet of them made them look so much less dangerous.

I don't misunderstand you, I merely expanded on the whole "who's better" thing.
Blink's story wasn't all that complex. It was just well-crafted and suspenseful. It's also an episode which deals with a small cast of people who don't know what's going on, which makes them more dangerous.
The planet of them being foiled comes down as much to luck as anything. Though honestly, it's not like I'm in love with the episodes. Part of what made them so good was they were commonplace. Take that away, the thought thatthye could be anywhere, and put them in a place where every statue is an angel, and it's less effective.
Still, it does have the benefit of putting the Doctor on the defensive for most of two episodes in a way we've rarely seen in the revived series. It's not wholly unique, but it is kind of cool for that.
Still, majorly hoping they manage to do more "blink" with the new eps. Because if we've gotta have the Angels, let's make them cool.
