“You know things are getting bad when you spend all day in bed again and don’t want to leave your room. Your room is slowly becoming a mess. Losing interest in everything that used to make you happy, or distract you. Only eating one meal a day seems normal. Ending it all starts crossing your mind once again.”
David Tennant plays the Doctor very sweet, funny and authentic. He made me laugh and smile every episode at least twice. I liked how his Doctor was a smartass, I liked how he faked arrogance in order to cope with his self-hate, I loved his trauma shining through once in a while, but he waved it off with a wide big grin and took on the universe. I loved how he was never uneffected by awful things, even though every other person might have gone numb after what he did (Like Eleven “Fear me, I’ve killed them all”).
I love how he never gave up, how he kept fighting, how he still was so excited and giddy to explore the universe with new eyes after Nine gave the feeling of being wary and tired and having seen almost everything already. I love how he lost his mind the more people he lost, right until the end, when he had to send Donna away the same day as Rose, Sarah Jane, Jack, Mickey and Martha, and almost broke. I love the terror on his face when the Master reappeared, how he was utterly terrified but still realized he wasn’t alone anymore. I loved how he played the dumb idiot in eps like Family of Blood or Smith & Jones, only to strike and surprise his enemies.
I love everything he gave this character. I can feel David’s whole soul in this character and he made me emotional attracted to the Doctor like no other. I love my Doctor just as deeply as others do with theirs, and I’m so sick of people telling me everyday Ten’s fans were only his fans ‘cause he’s hot, thank you very much.
