Doctor Who part 2

Well it's been a while but's here my second part review of Doctor Who, namely the Tenth Doctor's three seasons.

David Tennant is the first Doctor I ever really saw, I had seen bits and pieces of Seventh and knew I liked him but with Tennant I actually sat down and watched his episodes and he was awesome. He is very different to Nine, this is most prominent in that while Nine was mainly serious with the occasional humour Ten was the exact opposite, hilarious right up until it all got serious, and sometimes not even that. When he got serious though you better hope you were on the good side, or he'd make you pay.

Ten had three main companions, Rose, Martha and Donna. He did have a whole host of others though, and I'm pretty sure he holds the record for most companions, at least not including expanded universe. Now while I won't go into too much detail about the companions I'll give my thoughts on all three.

Firstly Rose, well she was a great companion, she had spunk, she was willing to sass the Doctor and there's not many companions who do that regularly, and she was an action girl. She was very obsessed with the Doctor, but at least he was interested in her. Now I know she is a very polarising character but I liked her because of the way she handled herself through everything with spunk and style.

Secondly Martha, now Martha I don't have a great opinion of, not that she's bad but a lot of her scenes involved how much she was in love with the Doctor which meant she didn't get a lot of characterisation. I do however like her, when she's not talking about the Doctor anyway. Her future appearances after leaving the Doctor probably helps this opinion as she becomes a lot more badass.

Last, but not least, is Donna easily my favourite of the three Donna came across as the most realistic. She had morals and would stick by them she had a mouth on her like you wouldn't believe, she was not going to take nothing from nobody, and she wasn't in love with the Doctor.

So onto the Doctor Ten is well liked in Doctor Who fandom, generally being voted the second best doctor behind Four. Why is this though. Well a lot of it comes down to, in my opinion any way, his sense of humour. He would always be making jokes and even the occasional pop culture reference. He didn't take many things seriously, even Daleks occasionally, when he took something seriously you knew stuff was going to go down, the ending to a certain two parter during his second season shows just why his enemies fear him.

But there is more to the doctor, something that is mainly hinted at but Ten has some deeper problems, it's revealed in the episode after Rose leaves that the hints start coming through but it's not until Waters of Mars that we see, it turns out this Doctor is just as dark as Nine, he just hides it better. In the episode he ends up on Mars on the exact date a research station blows up, and it's a fixed point in time so he can't do anything about it. He spends a lot of the episode talking about how he has to leave but while he is leaving something snaps, he realises that with the time lords gone the fixed points in time can be changed without consequences, and so he does. This is a great story arc for Ten, one that a decent amount of people wouldn't even pick up on, and it leads into one of the biggest finales of any season.

Well that's my review, even if it is terrible, hope you liked it Ned.
