I can definitely understand liking Nine/Rose more. It's the same relationship, certainly, but there *are* inevitable changes that happen from a change in actors. Thank GOD RTD continued the relationship, though. I think it says something about the force of their bond that they did love each other through a regeneration.
Yup!! And partly why I'm utterly mind-boggled by people saying that they can't see Rose and Ten II taking off. Hello!?!? Their love remained through a frickin' regeneration. DUH!
My only thing is, I don't react well to being told Nine loved Rose more than Ten, but you haven't ever even implied that, so. :D
I would never even imply that, Nine is the Doctor. Ten is the Doctor. The Doctor loved Rose. End of story. You could say that Nine loved her first, but then Ten loved her last, LOL!
I don't think being enamoured with Donna is an unpopular opinion in this fandom at all.
Yeah, that was the opinion I alluded to in my intro about finding out after the fact that really it's not that unpopular.
Actually, I think it's remarkable that RTD created three different women who are all strong and flawed in their own ways - with three separate arcs and relationships with the Doctor. How amazing is that? I'm impressed when a TV show manages to do *one* woman justice.
I SO agree; I may not love Martha, but I like her a lot and I think that RTD crafted a great character with a great arc. And Rose and Donna? Not enough awesome in the world to describe them, great characters, great arcs, great, charismatic actresses. And all three totally different. Loves.
I want to think that, but at the same time I don't want to be disappointed.
I really, really, REALLY should do that.
It's so much easier to resign myself to Tennant staying on than to think he won't and that Moffat will have a blank slate. And I'm pretty certain the BBC is going to fall over themselves to keep him.
Oh, yeah, they will. I hope he doesn't re-sign.
I'd desperately like RTD to handle Ten's exit, though. He feels so much like RTD's Doctor. It's almost wrong to think of anyone else doing it.
Agreed; and I think of the recent quote from RTD when asked about being interested in doing series five, and he said something about him and David talking together about how they'd have this big, big end in series four and series five would have a completely new slate and that just screamed to me that David had no intention of continuing on as the Doctor if RTD wasn't there. *Hopes* But yeah, I should ride your train instead to try and stave off some of that bitter disappointment.
