Perhaps. But, many of the ones I'm speaking of think he's the best actor to take the reigns of the character.

This also adds more of a "shock" factor (for want of a better word) when he does something dark. With Eccleston it never came as a surprise when he was more dark and moody!


Difference is, I actually bought it when Eccleston did it. He convinced me of the dark-n-moody (because he's a better actor), whereas Tennant "acts" or "shows me" the dark-n-moody...
