I couldn't stop staring at his hair in that scene with the computer. It was RIDICULOUS. Made me think of RPattz XD And I loved the way he tossed out the screwdriver after agonizing over it lol.
Man, the angst. I am generally not a fan of angst, except I get sucked in when it's done well. And I think this is the case here. It's much preferable to the Doctor being all happy all the time when he obviously misses Rose, anyway.
haha. Yeah. The screw driver thing makes me lol too. I almost included a cap of it in this recap, but then I decided I was rambling too much. Manic!Doctor is one of my favorite Doctors.
Also, Ten angsts so beautifully. And yeah, it only makes sense that he's a it screwed up because of losing Rose. Rose was important to him. Losing her is going to mess him up emotionally. I love that RTD explores that instead of just glossing it over. In the old series, companions just pretty much left without the Doctor or anyone mentioning them ever again, but I love that in the new series RTD examines what losing someone close to the Doctor would do to him, especially after the Time War.
I have a few. I'm not suuuper into fanfic, but I've read a couple of decent ones. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, so I gave you a sampling. Back in the day (2007) there were a lot of post-Doomsday reunion fics running around and during series 2 there was a lot of fluff. The end of series 4 was a game changer in a lot of ways, so there's a lot of fic set after that too. But I'm not going to spoil things for you.
Maturity by orange-crushed - spoilers for the end of series 4, but I love this fic. You should bookmark it for when you're done with series 4. It's pretty much my favorite fic ever.
Fisticuffs by rosa-acicularis - a cute little, silly, fluffy fic during series 2. The characterization is pretty great and made me lol.
Tea & Domesticity by mrv3000 - an amusing series 2 era story where the Doctor and Rose have an argument and Sarah Jane is a voice of reason
The Quiz by mrv3000 - a funny series 2 era fic where Rose has the Doctor take one of those couple compatibility quizzes in a magazine.
I love manic!Ten, too and Smith and Jones is one of my favourite episodes. You mentioned all best moments, the hair, the suit (<3), the screwrdiver, the "you're completely mad!" moment (how could anyone keep a straight face when David Tennant was being so hillarious?), the angst.
It's very interesting reason not to enjoy an arc on tv - a resemblance to real life. For me, the more I can relate to a companion, the more I like her/him. And that's why I liked Martha the most. Like her, I have a big family, I tend to behave as a mediator, I have some academic ambitions and had crushes on people who didn't like me that way. I'm not as badass as her, unfortunately :) Wasn't she amazing in Last of the Time Lords?
