I always want to call it "Season 11" instead of "Season 5"

I has new Doctor Who! New to me, anyway, though everyone else in the world has already seen it, as well as the Christmas special that followed it, which I have not seen and that makes me sad

I agree with everything you said here! Rory is adorable, and the scene where he comes back as a centurion is my favorite too. In fact every interaction between Rory and the Doctor make me smile.

I love his spazzy mannerisms, the way half the things he does with his legs and arms almost look like involuntary ticks.

They probably are. *g* Stephen Moffat has been quoted as saying that Matt Smith "walks like a drunk baby giraffe", or something along those lines, and apparently he broke four sonic screwdrivers and some of the set pieces with all his flailing. When it came to film the scenes in the finale with the flaming torches, the entire crew was on full alert.

And there was a piece that Moffat wrote during filming, when he stated that Matt came in to a meeting with a guitar on his back, and everybody was ducking and covering because every time he turned around the guitar went "SWISH! SWISH!" like a scythe. Moffat wrote, "To this day I'm not sure if Matt even *knew* he had a guitar on his back. He may have just collided with a musician in the street."

That? Makes me love Matt Smith EVEN MORE. That is awesome. Hahahahahaaa. Purposeful or not, it really does work so very well for the Doctor, though, doesn't it? He seems so young and helpless that he's even at the mercy of his own limbs and then he totally pwns everyone.

Oh, another story! At a meeting, Matt spilled coffee all over a woman. He apologized profusely, and the woman was very gracious about it. Later, when they were leaving, Matt apologized again to a woman passing by. Moffat said, "That wasn't the same woman," and Matt said, "That was the second cup."

Doesn't it make you love him? I will always have a fierce burning love in my heart for David Tennant, but the Eleventh Doctor is so much FUN.

*sporfle* I kind of want to be his friend, now. Maybe I'll wear rugby armor when we hang out.

LOL!
