Baker had such an enigmatic, layered performance that you truly didn't know where you stood with him, whereas Smith is far more transparent...

...or inconsistent. This isn't so much his fault as the showrunners. His incarnations morals are all OVER the place. One minute he's screaming at someone for making an idle threat, the next he's committing genocide against the Cybermen. Smith isn't amazing, but he's definitely a victim of a bad period of the show. Moffat's succeeded in getting the show to perhaps it's most prolific point in history, but to do so he lost the careful, in-depth, character driven stories of the past in favour of one-liners and moments of ridiculous spectacle that exist purely for the internet (the Doctor rides a motorbike up the Shard, fish fingers and custard etc.)

Haven

Well, I only watched part of Haven. I'm not enjoying this season so far. I try, I give it at least 30 minutes. Not liking the direction they're going.

Supernatural, I've started the series over because I fell out of it for a while.
