Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

And then there's Matt Smith! I was surprised at how hard and fast I fell for Eleven.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is the beauty of The Doctor - no matter who plays him, or what quirks he's got in a particular regeneration. It's perfectly fine to have one you feel is "your Doctor" but after a change or two, you begin to have faith that he is still The Doctor. I've only found one that I couldn't bear to watch, and that was Colin Baker (who probably wasn't bad, he was just written that way). As a fan from of old, it was somewhat frustrating and amusing at the same time to watch how adamantly all the new Eccleston fan-girls were going on about how there was no way Tennant could be any thing but a disaster, and they'd never love him... only to come around when they saw him in action.

Speaking of... anybody else earwormed with "triumph of romance and intellect over brute force and cynicism"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am now. But that's a fun earworm.

when i first decided i was going to watch Doctor Who after seeing my flist explode over it, i didn't even know he was an alien! so the shock of Eccleston regenerating to Tennant at the end of season one just about gutted me. i was living a sad, Doctor Who deprived existence before that.
also? i love Craig Ferguson. it's a shame he's taken.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know you didn't know, tiggy, but that really doesn't need to be whitefonted.
