I just rewatched parts of S1 and, especially, The Parting of the Ways.

Oh, ow.

Every single time I watch Nine and Rose's short bit about Marbella, 1989, it just makes me all twisted up inside. And then Nine's goodbye message? No matter when, I start bawling.

Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life.

THIS IS THE SORT OF STUFF THAT MAKES ME CRY INTO MY CEREAL.

And it makes me miss Nine and Christopher Eccleston.

Ah, Nine. I really need to go and rewatch some of S1... it is hopefully less likely to get me upset about the finale than S2/3/4!

Whenever I'm in need for a cheerup, I just watch a bit of S1. One of the best things about the season is that I love every single episode. There's not a single episode I dislike or am bored by. And there's just something so magnetic about Rose and the Doctor in this season... for me, Nine and Rose will always have the best chemistry, for all I love Ten/Rose.

After the confusion of Journey's End, I really need to watch Parting of the Ways again.. I just love Rose as the Bad Wolf saving Nine. ♥

Oh my, yes! It's still my favorite season finale, for all the talk about it's cheat ending. It encapsulated everything I love about the Doctor/Rose relationship and better, Rose was just so awesome in it. It would have been so easy just to let the TARDIS die and leave it on the corner, but she fought to go back even though she knew it'd be going back to Daleks and almost certain death.

I miss BadWolf!Rose.

I'm going through and rewatching all of the Doctor/Rose episodes starting in S1 and then writing full reviews/analysis. I just finished the 2nd episode and plan on doing the 3rd sometime this week. It's just, man, I do love Rose/Ten, but there was just such a build-up, such an intensity and electricity between Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper that it never ceases to blow me away.

Oh, it was the same for me too! I remember finishing S1 and being so mad at the end that Christopher Eccleston was going and that some new guy named David Tennant was coming in. I had the DVDs and I spend a couple of days wrinkling my nose at S2 and S3, thinking that there was no way he'd be as good. Which, in a way, he isn't. I love, love, love Ten and Tennant now, but Nine is always going to be the Doctor I love the most because he was my first Doctor. (that sound vaguely creepy, doesn't it?)

Eccleston and Piper had amazing chemistry; it worked so well for them and I actually felt it as a viewer. Tennant and Piper have excellent chemistry too, of course, but... ugh, I hate the fact that I don't like them equally, but yeah, I have to admit... I'm always going to prefer the Ecceleston/Piper combination to the Tennant/Piper one, regardless of how much I enjoy Ten/Rose!

Yes, yes, yes!!! Okay, so I'm totally linking you to my super-duper, insanely, I-have-no-life Who post that I wrote about my journey into the Who fandom because it sounds quite, quite similar to mine (although, a longer time period between the seasons seems to have occurred with me). I think you might enjoy it (if you have time to read it, LOL!)

ETA: And, of course, I forgot the link: My extremely, 'OMG! You have no life!!!' long "Doctor Who" post (http://arabian.livejournal.com/210368.html)
