So it looks like the 11th Doc will be announced tomorrow. Anyone dearly wish it would be Chris again? It'll never happen but I wish it would

lunas_borednow · 01-02-2009, 02:03 PM

I would but... it would hurt my heart to watch him without his comfort bear, aka Rose... Can I get an add?

Yes, I know what you mean. Nine would be quite lost in a way without Rose but I also think it would be interesting to see him with others as companions. Plus I just can't get enough of Chris

But I still think the Eleventh Doc will be Paterson Joseph or someone we don't know...

Rose reminded him of everything that was worth living his life for

*sigh* I so loved those two... probably too much...

Ms X · 01-02-2009, 04:12 PM

Me too

I miss Nine & Rose so much

And as much as I loved Ten/Rose, I always felt Nine/Rose had that little more magic

I also think that Billie had more chemistry with Chris then she did David. Not to say she didn't have any with David because it's quite clear she did and I loved that. But with Chris, there was something more, something I can't quite put my finger on.

I agree, as much as I shipped Rose/Ten... I don't think I would have, at lest as much, if I hadn't Rose/Nined first....

Nine would just look at Rose and my heart strings would pull...

Mmmm, I think she became more immature in Season 2.

The Rose that I liked would not have smiled adoringly at Ten while he was insulting other people eg. In Tooth and Claw. I saw some more Season 2 and Season 3 episodes yesterday. I think I've seen all of Doctor Who now except for The Christmas Invasion. Nine/Rose beats Ten/Rose by a mile.

My opinion of David's peformance has dropped. Ten spoke too fast at times and mumbled a lot so I had to rewind several scenes to get what he was saying. The vocal mannerisms became excessive and annoying eg. the way he keeps saying "Weellllllll..." before each sentence. He needs to tone down his acting. Moving one's features a lot does not equal showing more emotion.

What did you think of the final episodes in Season 3? There's always been an element of silliness in Russell Davies's episodes, but it was balanced with subtle, emotional scenes. He goes overboard with the silliness in the Master episodes. I tried to hate Captain Jack because of what JB said about Chris, but I failed!

I noticed a certain sadness in Jack's eyes- a certain depth that the character didn't have in Season 1. JB could be very good in a dramatic role.

I loved the Nine references in the later Seasons! Those that I can remember: Ten's "Banana's are good" scene and the references to the Doctor dancing in "Girl in The Fireplace", the reference to the Doctor dancing in Human Nature, Ten telling Martha he was a "different man" during the Cardiff earthquake. I remember Ten using the word "fantastic" more than once!

I'd love to see a storyline where Rose meet Nine/Rose in a parallel universe and gets into a catfight with herself over Nine!

Think of all the permutations and romantic complications if Ten/Rose meet Nine/Rose in a parallell universe...! The mind boggles!

Good points, she did do that a few times, ,most notably in New Earth. I do think she was written to be more mature but it didn't turn out that way in some episodes

She didn't have the sense of adventure like she did with Nine. Sure, she loved seeing new things with Ten but you're right, she seemed to moon over Ten a little too much. However saying that, I did still like her most of the time. I loved her in the Satan Pit for instance and also in the Cyberman episodes. Good continuity from Season One, regarding how Rose wanted to see her father. And I really felt for her in Doomsday when she had to be seperated from the Doctor

Have you seen Series 4 with Donna (Catherine Tate) as the companion? That's a pretty good series

I liked the episodes, I thought they were well done. Sure I think there was some silliness in the episodes but I adored the scene in Last of the Timelords where the Doctor is grief stricken over losing the Master because he is the only TimeLord left in existance

Brilliant acting from David.
I like Jack, I think he is a very good character but he is better in Doctor Who in then Torchwood. There's something about Torchwood, I really don't like. Don't know why.

Personally I'd just love to see a scene where Nine meets Ten. That would be so awesome

Nine would laugh at his 'pretty boy' future self, no doubt.
