(Hi, I am lj-surfing and creeping on two-week-old posts apparently... sorry if I'm being a bother!)
Oh, Nine. On the one hand, yes, it is hilarious that anyone can be more fucked-up than Ten, on the other hand... Nine is at least honest about how fucked-up he is, and sometimes I think all of Ten's trouble comes from trying to pretend he's okay (and at least 50% of Eleven's trouble comes from trying to be less of a self-righteous wallowing-in-his-own-martyrdom jerk than Ten). Nine at least knows more-or-less where 'well-adjusted' is, enough for him to wave and flash it a shit-eating grin as it flies past him.
Also ajskdl;jsadf s1. So many underrated creepy episodes (bring tissues and a sofa to hide behind for 'Father's Day'). And s1 is pretty much RTD at his best, except the parts where it is RTD at his worst in terms of cringe-inducing parodies of pop culture, but shhh, we ignore those because Nine and Rose and Time War and Daleks and Bad Wolf and the thirteen-hanky salute that is the finale.
