Yeah it was advertised pretty heavily on normal TV.
It's been in the thread title for ages.

For a long time I've had a deep hatred for Jawa because of this very reason. The 11th Hour is chuffing brilliant.

Oh I think he was and it was very clever to do so. Smith approached it as if he was behaving like the Doctor. How the Doctor had been and as if he still was because thats what you would do. The problem is people like to compare and do verses and treat them like separate entities but thats not what an actor would do. When the Doctor stands there and says "I dont want to go" its the same person as the one that smacks his head on a tree moments later. Smith behaves like the Doctor did, not Tennant. Thats really the genius of Smith as the Doctor. How he somehow made this young face look like it had lived all those lives. When he sits with Amelia in the Big Bang.
It's best summed up by the new teeth moment. The Doctor goes to do something he is utterly familiar with. Just speaking. But there is a whole new mouth and voice that comes out and it feels strange to him.

I just never really thought he was either interesting or much of a threat. Feel like the whole thing would have been better if he had been hunting one of the main cast (like Grace) and then it would have helped get over the coincidence of them just so happening to be on the train with the victim as it could have been that she was chosen because of being related to Ryan (tooth predator likes his DNA).
He killed one guy for trying to imprison him and another for tossing his salad on him. Maybe we are the bad guys?
