the mad man with a box.
A while back I did a picspam review of the "real" theme of season 4, discussing the Tenth Doctor and teh angst (which you can see here: RTD is a torturous fanfic writer. Observe.). Ten I always worried we would find hanging from the coral in his TARDIS, sad indie/emo music playing in the background; perhaps surrounded by pictures of Rose. Eleven, on the other hand, seems more likely to just completely snap one day and make jackets and hats out of his companions. I'm just sayin....
For all his angst, the Tenth was also the most "human." He was social, could mingle successfully in a crowd, was a conversationalist, charming, and seemed like he wouldn't be all that bad to hang out and have a beer with. Sure it might turn in to a weep-a-thon as the night went on, but I'm sure you'd both bond over Bright Eyes and not being popular when you were growing up. Or something. He certainly wouldn't jump out of a cake and announce to a guys stag party that he had made out with said-guys fiance.
Oh, Eleven....I'm not sure what he is, he is equal parts scary, completely insane, funny, more emotional, and yet more distant. But he definitely is not "people." Since it is too early to really sum up the theme, or his character development. This is a combination of "ooh look at teh pretteh!" (because he is so beautiful it is distracting) and a character commentary. (But mostly looking at teh pretteh).
Spoilers for 5x1-5x8.

Not dial-up friendly AT ALL. I wanted them to be big enough for people to use, in case they were doing layouts or something.
When the Doctor says "please put the guns away," what he really is saying is "Don't make me angry....you wouldn't like me when I'm angry...."
(I think Matt Smith does these particular scenes very well, he is very chilling when he is being quietly confrontational. I'm not used to being scared of the Doctor).
Time war angst: now with 40% less "waaaaAAAAAAHHHHhhhhhh"
The Doctor: Stop dying so loudly, I'm trying to think.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
I love these next two because you can SEE Octavian realize that the Doctor is completely insane. Just look at the look on his face.
The Doctor: *is crazy*
Octavian: Oh, sweet Jesus we are all going to die....
One of the saddest death scenes. ever.
The Doctor could explain what is going on....
But first he needs to gesture wildly for a little bit.
Shit just got real.
But the worst it gets, the more he loves it.
I ship it like its my job. Seriously. I demand more Eleven/River fics.
We should totally make-out right now.
Just a touch of jealousy, methinks.
Totally digging on the fact that she was in jail...
His face here is heartbreaking. He knows that in the end she is going to die to save him, and yet...
He really doesn't know if he can trust who she is now...
Relationships are never simple with the Doctor. Look at the Master, for instance....the love/hate relationship they have.
I think the Doctor likes her MORE now that he suspects she might end up killing him one day. Seriously. Look at their interactions at the end of the episode, compared to the beginning.
Alien: You will help us with our evil plan!
Doctor: Orly?
I absolutely love Eleven's interactions with children. But I think this also has more to do with the fact that I think Matt Smith is great with kids...either way it makes me melt inside.
Eleven is totally a n00b.
Completely clueless.
*Facepalm*
Too....much.....hotness....*dies* *regenerates*
I have totally kissed your fiance.
I think he does genuinely like him. Alot. I want them to have some bro time.
My new OT3. Team TARDIS FTW.
Matt had me almost in tears at this scene, his helplessness and anger as Amy is being pulled under....
The Doctor: Are you fucking kidding me?!
We might just die...
Having rewatched Amy's Choice several times, I have come to the conclusion that the Doctor realizes fairly early on who the Dream Lord is (although I don't think he understands what is happening, yet, or why he is there). I think this scene is when it hits him. Right before this he gives the dream lord an odd look, and then suddenly has to sit down...
Terrified of the darkness within...
