fajrdrako: ([Doctor Who] - Nine)

[livejournal.com profile] doctorwho today posts an item from Entertainment Weekly about Doctor Who, basically saying how good it is. With which I can only agree. (It's a list of the 25 SF best SF shows.) But what I liked most was this part:
THE BEST BIT Check out the first season of the newest incarnation, featuring Heroes' Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor (the best ever — apologies to Tom Baker) and the piercing, poignant wit of writer Russell T. Davies.
David Tennant is so popular I sometimes fear that Christopher Eccleston is forgotten; and I love Eccleston so much in the role.

Though I must say that the phrase "Heroes' Christopher Eccleston" made me smile.

Oh the vortex manipulator XD The first time 'I can't let you run around with this' why...?

Because the Doctor wants to be the only time traveller left in the universe?

Because, after all Jack has done for him, he wants to prove he's boss?

The only real excuse that satisfies me is the notion that the Doctor knows that if Jack uses his vortex manipulator, terrible things will happen - the Reapers will come, worlds will end, etc. Except... Jack did use it (in "The Stolen Earth") and nothing bad happened. So? Amend my theory: something terrible might happen. Even that theory gets weaker by the minute.

It makes the Doctor look like an ungrateful bully.

I see big differences in personality and emotions between Nine and Ten. Similar outlooks, but manifested differently.
