why not assimilate the klingons?

i think rtd wants him for torchwood now.
plus moffat basically wrote him as dr who's han solo and today he's more like gay jesus
Also he was recently on Craig Ferguson
But Jesus only did that trick, like, once. And there were just some hos there, so he totally could have faked it.
Anyway, I like the idea of Jack, but yeah, RTD turned him into a big hammy sandwich just like most of RTD's episodes.

So, Ten's regeneration. At the time, i remember people being in two camps. There were those that said it was one of the best regenerations, a beautiful send off for one of the most popular doctors to date. And then there was some people who said it was mawkish guff that was far too out of persona for the doctor. To be honest, i was kinda on the fence about it.
But now, a year on, and watching it again, i've grown to love it.
See, the tenth doctor loved himself. He thought he was fucking brilliant, the best one yet, you could tell by just looking at him, he was stylish and young and clever and oh god did he know it. People talk about the Sixth doctor's ego, but i would go so far to say that Ten's was worse, throughout the series he has quite a few points where he congratulates his genius.
And that was his downfall, in the end. See, his regeneration story started in Journey's End. The moment he stops himself from regeneration, effectively wasting the energy. His reasoning for this? "Why would i want to change? Look at me!"
And that is where it starts. He is a doctor who loves himself so much he possibly wastes a regeneration. He is doomed from that on.
Remember that this isn't like most of the other doctor's regenerations either. Most of them went suddenly, or without much warning. You can see a slight mirror in Four and Ten, with both knowing that the end is going. But Four knew for a day, two at most. Ten could have had the four knocks hanging over his head for months, years. His is a slow death, and he has alot more time to....well, have that fact sink in and effect him mentally.
The Time Lord Victorious is another sign of this. Because why should he die? He is amazing, so amazing that the rules of time don't apply to him! He knows he's going to regenerate, the scene with Wilf, he talks about the other man walking away. And regeneration is a kind of death, because although Eleven has all the memories of the his predecessors, he doesn't have their personality, their quirks and foibles that make them up.
And then when Ten thinks he's got away with it and cheated it all, he is overjoyed. And what happens when he finds out that Wilf is trapped? He throws a fit. He's angry, he shouts that he is so amazing and Wilf is nothing. (Which is what alot of people didn't like) And then, because he's the fucking doctor, he still steps up, and saves a old man.
Ok, he has his final farewells, but again that fits in with this doctor. He loves himself, and he loves the people who thought he was so amazing. Of course he'd go back and give them one more chance to see how brilliant he is. The only part of that final tour that really got me was the last one, Rose, when you could see he was barely holding it together and he wasn't interested in looking cool or saving the day one last time, he just wanted to see her before he changed, before he stopped caring about her.
And then there is his final words, the words that personally made me cry. "I don't want to go" And although this is alot of Ten's ego, i think all the doctors feel this at their last moments. But this is the first time he has regenerated on his own, with no-one to have to talk through it or explain what is going on. I would say this is what the doctor really feels (Although yes, there is the whole RTD thing and you can't deny that) But on his own, with no-one around him, and with his ego at a all time high, he says out loud what we all would think.
"I don't want to go"
And then what happens? Eleven is born and he is carefree and happy. Ten spent his last Weeks/months/years dreading the death, dreading the four knocks, and when it happens?......Well it's like anything you dread, once it's over you tend to go "Was that it? I'm fine!"
Anyway, that's just my thoughts, don't get me wrong though, I love Doctor Ten.

Have you got Yorkshire Puddings for your christmas dinner?
Oh, oh oh! And Pig in a Blanket?
Plus the Queen does a speech to the nation at 3pm, i think it's shown on youtube these days.
Season's greetings, Satan!
What you need is a Christmas pudding.
That blue glow isn't photoshop, it's fire.
e: Oh you already have a Christmas pudding. Good on you. You're all set, then.
Season's greetings, Satan!
EDIT: Legba I like your interpretation of it. It's nothing against Tennant, but I think by the time End of Time rolled around Ten had to go. He was too emotionally damaged, too dangerous to live. I hadn't been genuinely scared by anything in New Who until that moment in Waters of Mars where he declared himself Timelord Victorious. And it was The Doctor that was scaring me!
What the fuck is in that? It looks like raisins and pasta and...grubs?
Christmas pudding is the best part of christmas.
You are showing ig'nance here boy.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
The crackers only give out different coloured bow ties
presents must be wrapped in tweed
Cliff Richards must be on constant loop in the background
Watch the Queen's Christmas address
I am honestly curious! That picture doesn't seem to do it justice.
Christmas pudding is a lot of dried fruits, some suet (also hard to find in america), bread and a shittonne of booze...
you let that ferment for a year...
pour more booze on top... light that shit on fire... eat it
is the queen's address on BBCAmerica?
I used to get so pissed when my christmas popper had the paper crown... now, I don't get the paper crown I get pissed...

That might very well be delicious, but it looks like something a fruit cake monster horked up after a Christmas party
I might have to swallow my pride and start watching The Sarah Jane Adventures. They brought back The Brigadier.
Brandy butter. It's not even a question.
e: Okay the pictures might not be selling it. Trust me, it's delicious and your tastebuds will thank you.
Season's greetings, Satan!

Season's greetings, Satan!
What spring does with the cherry trees.
If you choke on it and die then you're eating too fast. Slow down.
where the hell do i get a threepense besides a tardis?
As to where you'd get them...eh. My mother has some silver bits she's kept for like 20 years now. This is their sole and only purpose.
Season's greetings, Satan!
