Everyone has their favorite Doctor. Maybe you’ve been watching since the 70s and Tom Baker’s infinite charisma is still with you today. Maybe you started watching as the revival aired and you fell in love with the immensely popular manic 10th Doctor played by David Tennant. As for me, my favorite Doctor is Peter Capaldi’s 12th, due to his tremendous acting ability and the emotional gravitas he seemed to always carry during the role.

But for quite a few Doctor Who fans, Matt Smith is their favorite – and it makes sense. The 11th Doctor’s era is when Doctor Who exploded in popularity in the Americas, greatly expanding the show’s reach and audience. There is always a sort of imprint that your first Doctor has on you – and for a lot of fans that first Doctor was 11. For me personally, he didn’t rank as high as the other nuwho doctors. That said, I certainly don’t dislike 11 – on the contrary, I adore his run as the Time Lord – but I think the reasons he makes a great Doctor are a bit more complex than most people assume.

Stay frosty!
