It's not always necessarily the level of Acting skill a person playing a character possesses.I think he is pretty manipulative though the New Adventures & to a lesser extent Big Finish took it much further than the show ever did which has helped build that reputation in fandom.
I like McCoy and his era in general and he's good most of the time though yes he's not in Tennant or Smith's league as an actor.
Sometimes, it's just the portrayal.
I like Ivanova and Lyta in Babylon 5, very much, and can't imagine them being played by anyone else (and I've enjoyed Pat Tallman in other stuff I've seen her in), but, neither of them is in Meryl Streep or Susan Sarandon's League
