Here are some squares of Ten, who wears a pinstripe suit and sneakers and who's got the most adorable big brown eyes and freckles and a grin that could KILL A PERSON.

Snagging # 5. And your Ten love fills me with nothing but glee. :) And he does have a grin that could kill a person. And also the "looks" as evidenced by icon #5. Not as blatant as 9 used to, but damn, he can look.

Sigh.

Yeah, he looks down his nose like nobody's business. And those BIG ROUND EYES!

Ten is love. Great icons!

He IS love. I wasn't expecting that at ALL, I was busily being in love with Christopher Eccleston and then this TENNANT fellow comes along and I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE!

He. I have the advantage of neither of them being my favourite Doctor (this would be Seven, aka Sylvester McCoy), so I can love them democratically.

I'm also spending some time with Four, Tom Baker, who is adorable and spastic too. I REFUSE to pick favorites between Nine and Ten though, because Ten/Rose is just an EXTENSION of Nine/Rose, so one can't CONCEIVE of Ten without Nine!

Tell me, have previous Doctors shared companions like that before? Do Neela or...Lianna? or Romana or Sarah Jane or that cute little robot dog ever go from one Doctor to another, or was that new with Rose?

Are all the previous doctors this doctor, or were there...entirely other Time Lords being the Doctor before the Time Lords were destroyed? Where I am with the fourth Doctor there's all these other Time Lords running around, perplexing me.

There was always only one Doctor (currently in his tenth regeneration), but lots of other Time Lords. They were wiped out in the time war that took place offscreen; the Doctor didn't expect to survive, either, but somehow, we don't know how, made it into his next regeneration (from Eight to Nine) instead. Which is why Nine has massive survivor's guilt, unlike One to Eight. (Who had their own issues, just not that one.)

So, in short: Time Lords: regenerate. All of them, not just the Doctor. (For example, we saw Romana, who is a Time Lady, in two incarnations.) Unless they're physically destroyed which presumably happened in the Time War. The main character of this show since forty years is the same individual, whom we saw getting new bodies in the course of that time. Oh, and he wasn't kidding about having been a Dad. In fact, he was a grandfather. One had a granddaughter, Susan, and if you want to get really twisted, she has more than one thing in common with Rose.

Companions going from one regeneration to the next: absolutely, that happened. When the Doctor met Sarah Jane, he was Three (Jon Pertwee), but she's mainly associated with Four (Tom Baker) because Three was starting his last year when he met her, whereas she spent several years as Four's companion. (Which is also why she immediately knew he must have regenerated once she had seen the TARDIS.) Just for the "awwww" factor, during their very first meeting, he introduced himself as John Smith to her, too, and they were both undercover, just as in "School Reunion".

Another companion who saw the Doctor through a regneration was Peri. Let me tell you, Rose had it easy. Peri was Five's companion and he sacrificed his life for her, and then when he regenerated into Six, something went wrong through the process, and the first thing he did was trying to strangle her. (He got more stable after.)

P.S.

A fantastic vid about the Doctor (all incarnations) and his goodbyes and meetings with all his companions. Download at once!

For some reason or other, I bookmarked this entry and never looked at it until now, and I'm all a-flutter with David Tennant love once again, because these are awesome. I'm snaging...well, I can't decide which but a few. At least the fourth one.
