Very nice. Thanks for linking to this!

*grin* the Ten love is epic, as you surely noted in Minneapolis. ;-) Thanks for reading!

So much to say about this, but I think I'll save most of it for in person proper geek out reasons.

Suffice it to say, you are so so so so right. And:

While Ten's darkness is buried much deeper than Nine's, his daffiness disguises a person who is actually quite remarkably ruthless. Describing himself as "the sort of man who doesn't give second chances", Ten, in his very first full episode "The Christmas Invasion", destroys the career of Prime Minister Harriet Jones, with six simple words: "Don't you think she looks tired?" His good-humored, non-sequential, excitable silliness makes his darkness all the more chilling because you realize that at least part of his daft zaniness is simply a social mask, used to disarm. You never see him coming.SO well put, and so true and important. Also, I see what you did there subconsciously quoting "Devil's Advocate" and it's AWESOME. Okay, maybe you weren't-but with the subconscious being all sub of your consciousness, I can't truly be wrong ;). Also, it's one of my favorite quotes from that film so ( ... )

You know, I knew it even before you said, darling. And you can always be my companion. Or vice versa.

Add The Frozen Hours by noldo to the list--best Ten/Martha around.

Is there sexing? *g*

Dearie, I am the gen queen of the universe. Nine times out of ten, I don't bother with stories with sexin', and when I do, I generally skip over the sexin'.

Unless it's Moving In or Negotiations. But I digress.

But don't take my word for it, try it and see.

Excellent. I gotta say, in who-verse, my first love is gen. Always.

Lovely essay - and I'm with you in that Tennant's geeky fannishness makes him more appealing as Ten. It definitely bleeds into the portrayal (in a good way).

kalichan August 11 2009, 23:07:32 UTC

*grin* Thanks! Yeah, I wrote a whole essay once on where Ten leaves off and Ten begins -- I find it really fascinating.

I think I also just really love shows where everyone concerned is passionate about what they're doing, and enjoying themselves tremendously. It adds a sparkle that is, in my opinion, really hard, if not impossible to fake.
