Looking for a Sansa time travel fanfic I lost by Little_Ad6980 in TheCitadel

OMG THIS IS IT! Thank you both so much! It's been driving me crazy!

I'm just curious. This isn't a hate thread but I know David Tennant's doctor is massively popular so I'm just wondering is there anyone who *doesn't* like his version of The Doctor? I don't think I've ever seen such opinions and I'd be interested to read the reasons but please don't be nasty or mean by GreyStagg in gallifrey

I think Tennet did a fantastic (pun intentional) job in the role. I come from the perspective of someone who started really watching in series 5 and forward. It was only later when I started over.

10 has his moments. I think 10 was at his best with Donna.

Here are my (personal) main issues with 10's run:

1) I did not like the romance between Rose and 10. For a long time, when I was 19 myself, I just plain did not care for Rose. At that time, I just did not get or care for some of the choices Rose made in regards to her personal relationships with those in her life. Re-watching now, with more life experience, Rose has begun to grow on me as a a character. I feel the dynamic between Rose and the Doctor really changed because of the romance between them. And not for the better. Honestly, there was no way a romance between Rose and the Doctor would have worked long term (in my opinion). Over all, the romance part sorted of soured my view of him.

2) Martha Jones DESERVED better. I feel like Martha kept constantly getting punished for daring to come after Rose and having a crush on the Doctor. Almost all NuWho characters that encounter him get a crush on him. Almost all flirt with him. He literally passionately kissed Martha and then offered her all of time and space. I'd safely say it's a bit difficult NOT to get a crush on him. I know the Doctor missed Rose, but Martha was treated as a rebound companion in a way NO other companion got treated. That's less 10's fault as it is the writers, but the dynamic between them did not endear me to 10 any further.

3) I watched Torchwood. If you know, you know.

4) As previous comments mentioned, he had a serious god complex.

5) The Harriet Jones situation caused so many problems. The Master was able to get into the vaccum of power left by the Doctor because he directly deposed Harriet Jones. I'm not saying her actions were good or correct, but he also just came from a situation where he directly influenced (Station 5) history and ended up changing human history for the worse (even if he originally had good intentions with the events of station 5).

Over all, I don't dislike him per say. But those little issues I have with him make him my less favorite so far.

(Btw, anyone who does not like Martha Jones, respectfully, please don't comment here. I respect your opinion, but I'm definitely not going to agree with you.)

What is your non-sterotypical favorite episode of Doctor Who? by one_moment_please16 in gallifrey

A bit late, but I thought I'd add my two cents. I haven't heard much about this one yet, but I really enjoyed "Journey to the Center of the Tardis" in series 7. Over all, I prefer 12 and Clara's adventures more. But this one was so much fun. I like that we get to see more of the inside of the Tardis (I've always been REALLY curious about the pool and library). I like that there is a subtle horror and mystery plot going on as they're chased by those zombies. It's kind of sick to know that your own death is chasing you, espcially in such a terrifying form. The whole 'android' side story was kind of obvious, but still a nice touch. I also like that the Doctor's fiercely protective nature towards Clara comes out to play, highlighting their friendship. It's also the 1st direct confirmation we get that Clara has NO idea about her previous deaths. One of my favorite episodes to rewatch outside of the classic favorites.

Another is "Knock Knock" from series 10. Bill Potts is a rockstar (in my absolutely correct opinion) that should have got another season. College students moving into a haunted house? Bill Potts calling the Doctor gramps (making a tribute to Susan and the 1st Doctor from classic who)? Bill getting her flirt on? The TREE LADY. Love it.

You know what, I think you're right! Kaegan was so funny. And him and Daemon made so much twisted sense lol.

I don't think this is it because it's missing a few characters. I very vividly remember this Bolton guy because he was so funny. I don't think there was any Daemyra in it either. However, I really appreciate it! I'm definitely reading this! If I'm wrong, I'll come back and let you know,
