I've now ordered myself a copy of that magazine from my last entry. Toma ♥_♥

In British television news, Nine may have been my first Doctor, but Eleven might just be my Doctor. We're only 2 episodes in though, so who knows. Plus, Nine will always have a special place in my heart. I liked Ten. I especially loved Ten/Master. But while Ten had all the right parts, and by all rights I should have LOVED him, there was something missing for me. Maybe it was that he came after Nine and I wasn't ready for Nine to go just yet. Maybe it was the push of Ten/Rose. Maybe it was all the angst (that's what Torchwood was for). I don't know. I enjoyed him, but I'm ready for some Eleven fun. And Amy. I'm already loving Amy. The two of them are such BFFs. It doesn't help that Matt and Karen are freakin adorable behind the scenes together.

Plus, look at this:



It's like Doctor Who + Indiana Jones + X-Files, which we all know can only equal great things.

I don't really know what I'm saying. I was supposed to be asleep 3 hours ago. All I know is that I'm really excited for this series.

I always thought the problem with Ten was RTD's increasingly crap writing coupled with the fact that every season he seemed to hero worship the Doctor more. I never had a problem with Tennant's performance but I had grown to almost hate Ten at the end. The final special with Ten was pretty bad, I loved seeing him and the Master interact and seeing Wilf but for the most part I didn't enjoy it.

I probably wasn't really ready for Nine to go(despite being prepared for it) and it took me while to get used to Ten. Though I already loved Tennant from other roles I didn't warm to Ten until "The Girl in the Fireplace". I think the pushing of Ten/Rose just didn't work. Tennant very much played the Doctor(at least at first) like the old skool Doctors(as he's a huge fanboy) as not being attracted to Rose. I never could understand how people shipped Ten and Rose, they just didn't have the same chemistry as Nine and Rose.

Ten and Rose were also a bit smug together which is one of the reason the second season is my least favourite of new Who. I think Rose's companion arc should have ended with Nine, or shortly after his regeneration into Ten. RTD weakened her character so much in the later seasons! I also hate in series two that it was implied that Sarah Jane was in love with the Doctor and had been pining for him all those years. She most certainly was not in love with him!

I liked series three quite a bit better than two, but I hated how they had Martha crush on the Doctor. At least she got dignity in the end, though. I did love a lot of series four because I think Tennant had the best chemistry(not romantic or sexual, just overall) with Tate but I still hate what RTD did to Donna. I would have been all right with it if he had fixed her in the specials but, of course, he didn't.

RTD made Ten too emo and too superhero-like. I think Moffat understands the Doctor much more. I am loving Eleven so much. And I adore Amy, I think at the moment I love her a little bit more than the Doctor!

Fair enough. I think I was mostly just getting sick of RTD. I've also never understood the Ten/Rose shippers. And Rose's storyline went on for too long. I liked her at the beginning, but was ready for her to go by the end. I loved Martha and could understand her crush on the Doctor, but I was very happy to see her leave him, move on, and become badass. Ten definitely had the most chemistry with Donna and they were a lot of fun together. I also hate what RTD did to her. Hers is a depressing story. Unnecessarily depressing :/

I'm so glad Moffat is in control now. He definitely understands the Doctor better and he seems to get what it's really about. I love how he was saying that DW is, even more than science-fiction, a fairy tale.
