I don't think Nine would be so overtly hostile as Ten was in Utopia, for starters.
Very hard to imagine! He reserves that sort of reaction for Daleks.
He's better at rational than Ten.
And on the whole, better at patience and tolerance. Ten simmers and stews. Nine was able to be mellow, at least on occasion. Ten can be forgiving but I'm not sure what triggers that reaction, since on the whole, he does not forgive naturally or easily.
He didn't have a lot of, uh, face time (sorry) with Boe
Heh. Maybe that's it. He never did get to the room party I'm convinced Boe was holding in "The End of the World".
Jesus, I hate that plot point.
Yeah, I do too. And I'm never sure whether to try to find a way to deal with it, or just to go into denial and say it was a joke.
the only way I can deal with it is imagining that Jack was just messing with the Doctor. Which is illogical in both timing and execution and STILL isn't nearly as insulting to a person's intelligence.
Or that the Doctor was somehow messing with Jack? Someone's joke, either way. But that makes no sense.
I can't even pretend to fanwank any further than that. I'm sorry.
I have the same problem. Listed under "problematical aspects of the show" for ongoing consideration at various points.
