Doctor Who Meme: Day 11.

Nov 04, 2010 20:26

I was all happy to get my first reporting assignment:  I'm reviewing Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls, even though, uh, I'm not---I guess they'd rather print that than a review of Megamind.  Then my mother picked me up from the MetroLink station, and she started venting at me because my brother created drama.  But I wasn't even there, Mother!  Honestly!  I didn't teleport or anything!

The vidder rescored it with "Vale Decem" for maximum effect, and for that, I salute them, because Nine deserved better regeneration music if that's what Ten got.  The regenerations in general make me want to cry.  I know that the Doctor is a metaphorical phoenix and that change and rebirth is a good thing, but the fact that "you never know what you're gonna end up with" is the scary part.  I mean, watch the regeneration from Five to Six: the fact that the Doctor went from so friendly (but odd and mysterious) to quite unlikeable is pretty heartbreaking.

Nine is the saddest for me because I feel like he died before he had the chance to fully live after going through his PTSD.  I know that was Christopher Eccleston's choice, but I mean this in the context of the story.  Also, this was the very first regeneration I ever witnessed; I stumbled upon the scene after seeing only two of his episodes, and I knew I loved him as a character because I was so devastated.

Ten's regeneration put me on the brink of tears, too, because it was the first regeneration I ever saw where I honestly had no clue what was going to happen next.  I had to watch it several times before I was okay with it.  So here's a heartbreaking video for him.
