Not only did I go there, I was a little jarred when they *didn't* say "We band of buggered."

“Not dead yet!”
Wasn't there an ep when the use of a gun was a serious issue, as in, could the doctor kill someone in cold blood?
Wasn't that at issue in Tennant's finale? That he could have shot The Master with Wilf's gun? Or am I thinking of the first time The Master died, when his wife shot him?

Same with me, Steph, because I started reciting along, wrongly.
Ha! Me too!

Trust my rage
You know, I will be watching when Eleven starts and I will try to stick with it. But, and I feel so shallow saying this, I'm not sure Matt Smith can ever be sexy the way CE and DT were/are. I';; be happy to be convinced otherwise, but he just looks so *goofy* to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't need my Doctor to be sexy, although it is nice. That aspect is recent for me.

I don't think that Nine was intended to be sexy, it was a side effect of his awesomeness. I think that it may have been a factor in casting Ten, though. Clearly not an issue in casting Eleven. Because he looks eleven.

Trust my rage
I never wanted sexy in any of the old doctors; I guess I got spoiled by the new ones. I suppose I'm just in the "I hate this new Doctor" phase. I'm trying to get over it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still kinda hate Ten, except I love him. But he's no Nine. And that resentment is taking some getting past, even now. But I don't hold it against Matt Smith. Most of what I've read him say about the character sounds fun.

In a sense I will find it a relief to once again not want to see the Doctor naked.

Ten won me over pretty quickly--by the time he had that poolside confrontation with the Headmaster in "School Reunion," he was the Doctor to me.
