I have been watching season one of Doctor Who (the new series) for the first time quite a while and am enjoying watching Billie Piper (Rose) and Christopher Eccleston (The Doctor). When The Doctor first meets Rose, he is so filled with rage and hate, much different than The Doctor we meet in season two, David Tennant. In the first few episodes, Eccleston's version of The Doctor is also much more likely to give up which led me to initially identify Rose as more of a heroin than The Doctor. For example, in the episode Dalek, Eccleston is completely driven by his rage to destroy the last living Dalek. Rose stops him from destroying the Dalek and begins to transform him into The Doctor that I know the best (and my favorite Doctor) David Tennant. Although I enjoy the more simple and entertaining mysteries that take place throughout season one, (the story lines have become a little bit intense in season six in my opinion) it is challenging for me to find much to love about Christopher Eccleston.
This leads me to ask this question, why is it that we die hard Doctor Who fans always love our first Doctor the most? My first Doctor was David Tennant and I would do almost anything to meet him (whether it be for a spot of tea or a TARDIS ride). Stay tuned for my next blog post where I discuss this in more detail!
