“I…am…talking!” (“The Pandorica Opens”)
If there’s one thing Matt Smith does very well, aside from being silly, it’s delivering an Epic Speech. This one is perhaps his most memorable of them all, with the Doctor staring down the assembled fleets of his enemies and daring them to try and get past him to the Pandorica. This is perhaps also the best demonstration of where the show was headed, the notion of the Doctor’s own legend having become a hindrance. There’s no shortage of arrogance about the Doctor in this scene — even if earned — and that cockiness is shortly about to bite him in the ass, which makes this bold stand even more interesting from a story and character standpoint. He says he got too big, but an argument could be made that he also got too big for his britches. Smith sells that mix of danger and hubris perfectly here.
