I love the darkness Chris Eccleston brought to the role, David Tennant is far too aloof and know-it-all in my opinion. Chris felt like he had the weight of his entire race's destruction on his shoulders, he felt a lot like a more solemn Tom Baker ("What's your name by the way?" "Rose..." "Hello Rose- Run for you life!"). David sort of just drifts around as if he's not completely with it... until, of course, he discovers 31st century clockwork.
This could, of course, be attributed the the writers. Series 2's writing wasn't as good as Series 1's. I've said it a million times, but... Ionic energy... Ugh. It's as if some of them completely ignored this little thing called science. You know, the part which comes before -fi in SciFi? And I was really disappointed that there wasn't more reference to the Time War in the finale, where we could see the Doctor's hatred towards the Daleks- Instead, we got a sort of know-it-all indifference.
