For everyone who hasn't seen it yet, the Doctor Who CiN special (and a behind the scenes feature) is up here. If someone wants to talk about the pure awesomeness of it, please do! Personally, I have to go into a little rant about my feelings for the Fifth Doctor now.
Oh god, I love him so much. SO MUCH. To see *my* Doctor again was such an unbelievable treat. If I didn't love the Moff like crazy already, I would become his stalker now. And David! He's such a fanboy, it was so sweet. And I can't help but wish for a proper episode of them together, because really, their chemistry? BRILLIANT. Manic Ten, and wise, kind, but sort-of-oblivious Five just go so well together, and you can feel the actors had a blast. And yes, I teared up. I giggled and squeed my way through it, but at the end, when they say goodbye - oh god :( Ten remembers his old friends, and then this little speech about Five being Ten's/David's/Steven's Doctor and their actual goodbye - I don't think I'll ever be able to watch that without having tears in my eyes.
But, see, that's the thing - Ten saying Five was "his" Doctor, the Doctor he really wanted to be. I love that so much, because I think it's true. In the beginning, I obviously likened Ten a bit to Five because of their age, but they're not really that much alike, are they? For example, the second new season. What always put me off Ten and Rose a bit there was that they were having too much fun. People were dying all around them, and they giggled their arses off. Also, Nine/Ten left Jack behind. I know, really old news, maybe even forgiven, and it had to be for the sake of the regeneration stuff (pff), but you know what I think? Five would NEVER have done that. NEVER. Neither would have Eight, and I don't think Two would have done so either.
Anyways. When I started this, I wanted to put down why Five is my Doctor, but I got lost. Sorry for the random babbling...
