Faith goes with everyone...I ought to get back to getting her with Claire from 6FU, in fact.

See, I'm all about the first season of new DW. The transition from Ninth to Tenth Doctor removed what hooked me in the first place, and the loss of Rose took it from Appointment Television to something I'll watch if I happen to be in the room when DH cues it up on the Tivo.

Did they really? Oh, my dear. Stuff like that makes me wibble at the adorableness, but I don't know if that counts as responding-to-slash so much as being dorkily eager to go "Awwwww!" at any sweetly affectionate PDA or sign of crushiness. I mean, Lord knows I go all gooey inside just seeing teenage queer couples walking down Haight Street hand-in-hand the way they couldn't have twenty years earlier and still can't almost anywhere else. But I'm fairly sure "misty-eyed with quasi-maternal love" is not the reaction most slashers are really looking for.

I love Rose fiercely. Which is why I wouldn't want to put her alone in a room with Faith. Now 10th Doctor/Rose/Faith. That would be fun.

I got hooked by the 10th Doctor when I managed to catch The Girl in the Fireplace episode on TV and I happened to click over at just the right moment. This feels like an episode of Doctor Who I thought. When Rose called him Doctor I may have swooned. So when I went back and rented Series 1 I was a bit confused by Christopher Eccleston but I did fall for him right before he "died". I can definitely see not liking this David Tennant chap if I hadn't already seen that one episode.

Tennant kinda grew on me with time, but Eccleston pings my personal hot meter a lot harder. I love his accent, and while he's not conventionally handsome in the least he's just so interesting to look at.

I love Tennant. He's all ardent and smart and big eyes.

Eccleston pretty much is my personal hot meter, but Tennant feels more Doctor-y to me. And Rose never did much for me at all as a character. So I was in it for the Eccleston, and then for Ten, and then finally for Ten and Martha.

Tennant reminds me a lot of Tom Baker, especially the "I am not human" stare. Eccleston has the better outfit and yes his accent is scrummy. I wish we'd gotten more than one season of his Doctor.

I was so truly-madly-deeply for Rose that I was determined not to like Martha but she won me over in the first episode with her delight at being on the moon overpowering her fear of Being On The Moon!

I love Tennant's fierceness, wrapped up in that geeky wide-eyed exterior. He is most similar to Tom Baker's Doctor in that sense. His viciousness (as seen in what he does to the Family of Blood and even Harriet Jones) really pinged me as an interesting side to the Doctor I don't remember seeing too often in the past. Combine that with the sadness he also has (which Eccleston did so well, but it was a trait that defined #9 IMO, as opposed to just another aspect of #10), and I'd have to put Tennat as possibly my favorite Doctor ever. (Also, the fact that Tennant himself is a lifelong huge Doctor Who geek--I'm all over him!)
