I’ll give this new guy a shot, but I was just starting to like the Rose- Dr chemistry…
re: #431 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds
It’s a rite I’d rather not have taken part of. The Ninth didn’t stick around long enough.
Eccleston got me hooked on Dr Who as an adult (somehow I failed to develop the taste while a kid in Oxford, though I certain remember Daleks), so I can totally sympathize…I was really put of when I got “hooked” on Nine just in time for him to transition to Ten.
McSpiff—give Tennant (and eventually Smith) a chance, though. Admittedly not every episode is a gem but he’s a good actor and when given good material really sells the part.
Addendum: if it turns out you hate Tennant’s run (or Davies’s show-running) I still recommend Matt Smith as #11.
