11 got a bit crotchety by the end of his run. Speaks well of both the writing and Matt Smith's ability to portray an old man trapped in a young body.
I will admit that I didn't like Matt Smith to begin with. I was too tied to David Tennant to accept him straight away. But Smith was an amazing Doctor in his own right and did a fantastic job. I really loved him by the end.

Orange you glad he's going to prison.
OK, probably wishful coping on my part. Fingers crossed.
If you can afford it and it's a pretty big if. Try to see a therapist if you can. Swap around them if it isn't working for you as well.
I remember doing group therapy and not everyone there was great, but it felt good, knowing that I didn't have to tell anyone around me how fucked up I was and that they all just knew.
