I've only recently started watching Doctor Who (though, me being me, I've jumped in headfirst), but I find I don't like Eccleston nearly as much as Tennant. For one thing, Nine tends to strike me as a touch callous - particularly notable here in his lack of interest in Mickey's fate (or the general fact that Rose does, in fact, have a boyfriend) - and I don't think his lighthearted side works nearly as well as Ten's.
I agree. Ten is definitely 'my' Doctor -- he's the one that I enjoy watching the most and the one I find the most likable. Ten feels more... integrated than Nine, who is still in 'soldier' mode.
I do love Rose. How can you not? (Though I also love Martha and Donna, so that works out nicely.)
It's so helpful to like all the main characters! They all have such great qualities.
Pink is girlishness, softness, youth, and bubblegum.
Interestingly enough, less than a hundred years ago, pink was the color for baby boys and blue was used for baby girls. It's because of that, I think, that while I take the current association into consideration, I also take into account that it belongs to the 'red' family, especially when you get to the darker pinks.
It was during the 1940s that pink started to be used for girls and blue for boys (this may be due, in part, to the association of pink with gay men that was started by the Nazis).
Sorry, I took color theory last quarter and feel the need to share.
