aka - In Which David Tennant tries an American accent.

Not sure how I feel about the accent. It seems like I can hear Scottish/English sort of creeping in on certain words. They should have let him keep his Scottish accent or something.

That said, it looks like this could have had potential. A lawyer e-stalking his (soon to be?) ex-wife. A peppy assistant on the look out for clients. I think it could have done something.

Yeah, that accent is... nasally. :(

It really is. It's almost like it wants to be a Boston/New England kind of thing, but it's just not quite there...

...I think I just fell in love with him all over again...I think his American accent is SO CUTE!!!! (Not as hot as his regular accent, or even his Brit one, but I think maybe he can just do NO wrong for me.) :P

There is something a little endearing about it. But I think if the show had gotten picked up, they would have had to make a different decision about the accent.

I love how he still has that David/Doctor tendancy to walk over furniture *bg* But yeah, accent.... not so much *flinch*

Oh, yes! That was totally my favorite part! Why walk around the couch when you can just walk over it? LOL
