YES. I'm really curious to hear what people have to say when their paychecks no longer compel them to be polite.
I know what you mean about Matt Smith. I think some of it might just be that he's leaving before he really wants to leave, because of the whole 'get out before it becomes a chore' line of reasoning that Tennant seemed to be following, too. But it seemed like Matt Smith was given a much lower quality of writing to work with, overall, so I wouldn't blame him if he also just felt a bit frustrated with where the show/character was going (or deliberately refusing to go, since Moffat seemed to be all about arresting character development at every turn).
And RIGHT? It's both hilarious and infuriating to me that in showing a trailer at Comicon, he managed to completely miss the point of both trailers and Comicon. To say nothing of how douchey it is of him to try and micromanage his own fandom, like we should all answer to him. Ugh.
