His hotness, like so much else about him, is...how do I put this...alien in this delightful way.
Very true! But in addition to the intensity you mention, he has this very refreshing softness that I am really responding to. Ten was mercurial and charismatic but VERY SHOUTY and Nine had this sharp undercurrent of POSSIBLY BARKING MAD -- I love both of them and I love those qualities, but Eleven's gentle warmth is so refreshing and seductive. You know that he still has rage and pain and above all power, but he is, as you said yesterday, actively making choices to be a kind person.
And not just kind, but accessible, if you see what I mean. He's presenting a more human-ish side of himself, or at least a more approachable one. He seems more touchable, more emotionally available, more willing to experience joy -- as opposed to just pleasure.

Possibly this makes sense only to me. (:
