some things about the doctor

[iamsab]

I can't sleep, and that usually leads to fantasizing, in this particular case, about Tennant/John Smith's arm, in his white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and the suspenders. I can get lost in the most absurd things about this man. Yesterday I spent forty five minutes on about four frames from "Utopia", just watching over and over again --

I love how you describe Tennant's acting talents, because I see it all exactly the same but I would have been unable to lay it down like this. Oh yes, so masterful.

And, and, all of what you write about Ten is true, too, but the interesting thing go me because of it now is also The Master BECAUSE of this dream of normalcy and the burden of his loneliness. If he's not the last of the timelords, is there something there of another kind of dream to be found? some sort of different family and stability - something where The Master's around, not one of the humans which will always forever end up disappearing?

That and Jack, oh yeah, innnnnteresting.

And in being all these things, he's more complicated than Nine, who was very simple to read in some ways: he was in shock and grieving, and he reacted to the last Dalek the way he did because of that anger and grief, and he took such pleasure in the company of Rose and Jack because they made him think about other things. Ten has distance from the war, and with it, more complications, more fucked-up-ness.

you give good meta. :)
