I chuckled at this picture from the publicity shots for The Runaway Bride, done in the fierce style of Torchwood. From the pose, you'd think the Doctor was trying to be Captain Jack, instead of the other way round!

Tennant has some crazy facial expressions, lol.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

He has an amazing face. The things he does with his eyes! Did you see that he's been voted as the best Doctor yet by the readers of Doctor Who magazine? Hmm, maybe I should make an entry about that.

[monsieureden.livejournal.com]

I have not seen that. I have seen the things he does with his eyes.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Ahh, those eyes have amazing capabilities. The mouth and hands aren't bad either.

Cue icon.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Indeed. An icon is worth a thousand words - or a drabble, at the very least.

Boy. They must have been using the same photographer. It does seem... sort of copycat :-P Hahahahaha :)

...And sort of cute, too. Ten does 'fierce' and 'heroic' stances most endearingly. Jack is much more convincing in the classic cowboy manner, but we know which of them has the real power. Beware the angry god!

Well... Jack is not exactly powerless, in is own right (as compared to, say, Gwen or Rose), but yes, the Doctor has an advantage over him.

I also start to get the feeling WHY EXACTLY was Ten doing broadsword-fight duel in the very first episode when he appeared (not counting the shortie, of course). I mean... Chris Ecceslton is _powerful_. David Tennant is amazing in his own right, but he seems a weakling after that - and they wanted to put the idea that he's "strong" firmly in the viewers' minds.

Gah... I will NOT watch on till the end of season 1, or else I would be totally incapacitated at work tomorrow. But I wish...

As compared to Gwen, yes. Not compared to - wait a minute, have you seen "The Parting of the Ways" yet? If not, I was about to mention a spoiler. In any case, Jack has power on a human scale. The Doctor has power on another scale entirely. Even if you discount his abilities and his personality, he has knowledge beyond compare.

Yes - especially when he spent half "The Christmas Invasion" in bed unconscious. Lovely suspense - love it when he does wake up and takes care of everything, and gets angry with the Prime Minister.

I'm not sure if his strength and power showed so much in New Earth or the next few episodes, but they'd set the stage and it was time to work on his relationship with Rose and other plot points.
