@@Alesiopdv of course, the pilot is the pilot, but the second season of Tennant for me contains the largest number of cringy moments, like "School reunion", the one with Abzorbaloff, "Fear her", that woman in TV shouting "I'm hungry!!"; when he snogs Pompadour in front of Rose watching him on the other side of the fireplace, and boasting about it to a servant with a vulgar move towards the fireplace's mantle. I don't feel and don't believe his acting sadness after he lost Rose. I can see the acting, it doesn't feel natural. And every time later when he suddenly remembers that he need to become sad when someone mentions Rose, it is acting, not real. Villains are so... typical villainish, with crazy laughter and stuff, and so stupid. Resembles old hero movies. Pathetic. I almost never rewatch this season. Brr...

David Tennant's Doctor and Rose's last goodbye always has me in tears.

[@jimmyjeff1777]

I love the fact that Davids doctor was kind and compassionate, but also not afraid to be ruthless

40:52 "Dalek-Humans show increased levels of serotonin!" Within the human brain, a biological cause of aggression is the firing of the amygdala. Serotonin is a neurochemical which inhibits the firing of the amygdala. Ergo, an increase in serotonin leads to a decrease in aggressive thoughts/behaviours.

That goodbye scene between The Doctor and Rose will forever get tears flowing from my eyes. I’m such an emotional wreck…

[@GT3NB]

Literally could just put every second he was on screen. Absolute diamond. David Tennant is a one-of-a-kind talent.

[@Thornus_______]

Billie Piper says she remembers her goodbye scene with Tennant vividly

[@christinewahl3470]

I love David. He was amazing as the Doctor. We were so fortunate to watch him.

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

What I like about this is that in his first episode, he decides that he's going to be a no-second-chances sort of man. And by golly the writers try their hardest to keep him that way. And I don't think that was ever shown as well as in the Family of Blood/Human Nature stories where he gave them a chance by turning himself human.

[@Raximor]

I just wish we could get him back full time as The Doctor again. 🥺

[@colinmaynard2879]

Well he’s returning

Tennant was definitely the best Doctor of the modern series, and his run on the show was the golden age of Doctor Who. Nothing since has even come close to being as good.

[@theadventuresofaplainjane2504]

David Tenant was my 1st and last Doctor. I didn’t even know what I was watching and what a Doctor Who was. I was just attracted to the adventure and acting. I remember crying hard when Rose and the Doctor parted.

[@fez_playz8259]

Little detail i never got. When the tanks are about to fire on the spider web sip the person on the radio said "orders from mr saxon". Great writing that is.

[@LadHanabi]

The part with Sally, the Cyberman, still makes me tear up. Imagine having your entire being stolen behind a computer chip, and having everything that you've become suddenly gets thrown at you like a boulder

[@Jake11145]

“I don’t wanna go’ had me crying 😖😖😖😭😣😖

[@gurglequeen433]

That scene from The Family of Blood always gets to me. Tennent really portrays that cold fury really well to me.

[@VanAnon51]

“Rose Tyler...I love you.” The line every Who fan wept over not hearing...still a better romance than Twilight. Rose and Ten...one of the Best sci-fi romances of all time...and yet they only kissed Once...and what A Kiss.

The Doctor: But that implies, in this big grand scheme of gods and devils, that she's just a victim. Well, I've seen a lot of this universe. I've seen fake gods and bad gods and demi-gods and would-be gods. I've had the whole pantheon. if I believe in one thing... just one thing... I believe in her. ― Tenth Doctor 18:46

“Very Arthur Dent. Now there was a nice man” still one of my favorite references through all the seasons

[@veronicaolsson9742]

My favourite part is when he the Doctor is with Donna. So many good laughs and so much crying.

[@nightowl8477]

30:19 Gallifrey's first mention in the revival! And a fitting scene too, as the Time Lord Victorious awakens... The most pivotal scenes of Ten's Time Lord Victorious arc are accompanied, always, with the motif of fire and water. The Runaway Bride, The Family of Blood, Last of the Time Lords, The Fires of Pompeii, The Waters of Mars. _"Fire in the water",_ the Twelfth Doctor recounts. _"Fire in the water."_ 31:10 The true constant companion of Ten; in those moments of godly rage, he becomes amongst the very elements. Or thinks as much, at least.

[@charliedavidarnott1537]

David Tennant, in my opinion, gave one of the best screen performances of all time as The Doctor. He is the best Doctor, and as far as I am concerned, he will never be matched.

[@uklie01]

Totally agree!

[@revengenerd1]

I disagree on both, he just became an icon due to it and he and the revival came around at such a time to imprint on people. Capaldi gave much better performances as the Doctor though he isn't my favourite Doctor

[@burningflag3679]

I've seen the Eccelston > Tennant transformation literally well over a dozen times. And i can't lie it still gets me everytime. I mean rewound this just to see it again.

[@luxxvortexx8600]

grew up with this man as the doctor as a 97 kid and he plays the doctor perfectly. bloody brilliant. an amazing actor in general too and doctor who is and has been inspiring.

[@sabrinatirabassi3529]

I'm watching all Doctor Who in order this year, and I start thinking that Russel T Davies had all his four series planned in advance...

[@xehanort3623]

I think so to like look at David first episode not giving Sycorax a second chance. Just foreshadow has darkest moments in has era.

[@samme1024]

Maybe Russell T Davies is really a time traveller, or knows one, who shared stories of his travels.

[@tieflingcorpse9817]

i think the doctor doesnt want to admit that part of the reason he needs human companions is that they have gut feelings, something that can often come in handy and something he doesnt have
