oh dear

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.

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)
