Ten's absolutely artful hysteria, when he's goading the fugitive alien woman to drink his blood

I love that bit, too! That's one of my favorite things about Ten, the way he can babble his way into and out of so many situations--the way he plays parts. (I wrote a long "why I love Ten" post that included that sort of thing, once upon a time. Because I do love him, even if I frequently seem to forget to mention it!)

I have seen Eleven! As he puts it, he's "still cooking," but I like him so far, and there are several bits that I loved. There may be some settling still to do--I feel like Ten was still figuring out who he was in the first few episodes ("School Reunion," for example, when he discovers that "correctamundo" is a word he's never going to say again)--but I am optimistic.

I know that a lot of people really liked "Waters of Mars." I just felt like I already knew most of what the episode was supposed to tell me about Ten--the hubris, the god complex--so I didn't feel particularly compelled to watch the whole thing. "The End of Time," however... ugh. It might be worth seeing Ten regenerate, but then again, it might not.
