Anonymous asked: Who is your favorite Doctor from Doctor Who?

A toss-up between Tennant and Baker, I think. Baker is the classic Doctor, the one on whose performance Tennant most closely modeled his own, and it shows - a lot of the old Baker episodes are naff as hell, but there’s something strange and wonderful about his Doctor, a sort of absent-minded joy that really makes you love him. Tennant’s Doctor is much more melancholic, more rageful - and, at times, over-the-top melodramatic - than any of his predecessors, but he’s also lightning quick, gleeful, compassionate and (as Cassandra says) just a little bit foxy. Between the two of them, what’s not to love?
