I like dysfunctional, on the whole - and I love some of the Doctors dysfunctional and dark moments. I love his line in "School Reunion" that he used to have so much mercy. That gives me chills even to remember it! Great moment. I love the line about him being fire and ice and rage. I just don't like it at the end of TLOTTL, when it's shattering the relationships I wanted to much!
And yes, I'm trying to see it as broken but continuous.... So far I haven't put the picture together in a way that works for me, but I think it will come - depending what they so in season 4. Or, of course, beyond.
I know also that what I want to see (i.e., more relationshippy stuff between Jack and the Doctor and Martha and the Doctor) isn't necessarily what other fans want to see. Because I have a pash for the Doctor myself, I want to see it vicariously gratified through them. I want them to pander to my love of Jack/Doctor slashiness - functional, dysfunctional, or otherwise.
Doctor icons are wonderful things, but Jack icons are even better.
