I’ve actually seen Rose and 10’s relationship interpreted as unhealthy and codependent, and honestly I subscribe to that: They make each other the centers of their lives so much that Rose ends up excluding everyone else from her life. And she never even learns her lesson - she just keeps pining after Ten and vice versa, never moving on.
Completely. Take a look at Rose whenever she’s dumped back on earth. In Parting of the Ways & Boom Town, she very clearly hates herself outside of the TARDIS. She would literally never choose to go back and she’s at times even resentful of Jackie & Mickey over it. Even though she’s not my favourite, it’s a really fun and interesting dynamic. I think more people would pick up on if she wasn’t the first companion of the revival.
for me, if this was the dynamic they were going for, then 12 and Clara are A MILLION times more interesting for me. Clara isn't obnoxious, just reckless, whilst 10 and Rose are so twee and smug any interesting drama is lost.
@@Invader200X season 3 is weak, indeed. But Martha was brilliant and there were a DEFINITELY gems. Human Nature, anyone? I know it was an adaptation of a 7th doctor novel, but it was very well done.

Try to understand that maybe your beliefs aren't the only ones worth listening to. You need to think about others, not just yourself.

I think you should've rated the waters of Mars higher, had it on the list. I think it's a science fiction masterpiece and an amazing exploration of the tenth doctor's vulnerabilities and character traits.
I've fallen back in love with him since this video dropped. Mostly as I pretty much grew up to be Harold Saxon :') The Master we see the demented Scissor Sisters segment and some of the better moments from Sound of Drums and End of Time. He is a lot of fun, but definitely more of a young sam's favourite.
@@SamyulDavis well if you can handle the Twee of David Tennant sideburns he can handle ham I mean Rodger Delgado even dressed like a bond villain and Missy was all self reflective I feel like that matches cape James Bond in mr. Am I a good man
10th is mainly my favourite because he balanced it all. He was a hero, he was scared, he was angry, he was confident, he was unsure, he was goofy, he was serious... I love him even though I am starting to outgrow him.
Ziretto Or it could just be an opinion. Certain moments in Last of the Timelords are pretty commonly contested. More power to you though for enjoying it :)
To be honest I don’t think he made his reasons clear enough? Like it’s fine if his own emotional response to those episodes were as he describes, but there’s this bias tone that some people have when they talk about their opinions as if everyone else agrees with them? (Which to be fair I think I sometimes do it too)
@@jasonpaulbaker1 Have you tried making an internet video where you stop every 5 seconds to preface 'well it's actually just my opinion but..." ? It's the obligatory stance of an opinion video. You'd get just as bored hearing that just as I would be saying it.
I loved Sound of Drums but blow hot and cold on Last of the Timelords. The relationship between the doctor and the master is great to watch in pt1 but in pt2 them pretty much completely relegate the doctor to magic man who waits for Martha to give him his powers. Also the Toclafane went from being menacing and scary to just kinda gross and unthreatening, you barely even see them in Last of the Timelords
You know what? I ADORED Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks. The cult of Skaro became my favourite villains through that story. I loved that the concept of their imagination for survival at any cost got explored, I thought the pig men was an interesting concept although I think it would've been better if Laslow had actually died at the end. Solomon was an absolute badass and a bit like the doctor in a lot of ways, which made his execution all the more ruthless. But in the end the Daleks' hatred and pursuit of the supreme beings pushed on through, exterminating their one way out of the darkness as the doctor put it. It's quite a tragic story really, the Daleks had the ability to change in that moment and the Doctor was willing to forgive, willing to help, willing to make amends. But their hardwired mindset prevented that. I always think Doctor Who is at its best when it tries things most shows normally wouldn't. To make the Daleks imaginative and willingly accept some of humanity's values is absolutely blasphemous and it's precisely why I liked that story so much.
I think it gets blamed for being the first Dalek story to lose momentum in the revival but considering the first three were their first returning story then two season finalies it's not really the episodes fault. Also I like laslo living as it gives a bit of levity to an otherwise dower ending
I've grown to love Love and Monsters, if you look past the silliness, the LINDA stuff is really fun and we get the most in-depth and sad look into Jackie's lonely life without Rose
Agreed, switch out Peter Kay and it's actually a really good Doctor-less idea for an episode. Just wish LINDA were more of an actual cult and less...book club.
Decent ideas granted, like getting more insight into jackies life without rose (actually, why not have an episode focused on her for a doctor lite episode? Why not have her join Linda instead?) but personally I found the “normal characters” too cheesy at times, and I fought Elton a little bland and too “quirky” (could do without him dancing in his pyjamas, almost ruined that song honestly 😜) not to mention it’s supposedly meant to be a love letter to the whovian fandom 😜 all I’m saying is if I wanna watch a blogger talk about doctor who for 40 minutes, I’ll go on TH-cam, like I am now 😜 it’s not the worst episode of all time, but personally I think it is the worst Russell t. Davies era episode I think 😅
Loved John Simms master, loved him at age 12, still love him at 24, and I like every Tennant episode (except love and monsters, which I’m surprised wasn’t on your worst list?) by far my favourite era of doctor who
I'm 42 and HATE the romantic plotlines in this era, yet it is my favourite era by far. What you say about his untrustworthiness and so on is what makes it feel like his entire quirky persona, and by extrapolation ALL doctors quirky persona, is entirely on the surface for the sake of the people around him who wouldn't be able to handle the,essentially demigod, he basically is. He's an ancient being running away from boredom to play. Under the quirks is always the Oncoming storm
Everytime you say your selection I initially think "I completely disagree. You're an idiot" then you say three words and I'm like "I'm very much agreeing with you on everything."
Same. Sadly as 'The Doctor Falls' flashback shows, Wilfred and Mickey don't deserve a passing mention as companions these days...even though Madame Vastra and Nardole were there?
As said on the Eccleston video: I just recently started to watch Doctor Who. But I knew how beloved Tennant was during his time in the TARDIS. Now I can completely understand why! He's a great actor, a likable Doctor and maybe the most human incarnation of him. He's not my favorite but he's amazing.
Best 5 (No particular order) 1. Blink 2. The Girl in the Fireplace 3. The Christmas Invasion 4. The Waters of Mars 5. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead Worst 5 1. Fear Her 2. Love and Monsters 3. Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks 4. The Idiot's Lantern 5. Planet of the Dead
The fact that you left out Silence in the Library, Stolen Earth, Water on Mars, Midnight, and Turn Left just to name a few just goes to show how banger of a run Tennant in the Russel T Davis era really had.
I agreed with most of your worst and best. But, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Daleks in Manhatten was fantastic! A cult of Daleks designed to find new ways to advance and excell, no matter how it contradicted their whole existence, the Daleks must rule and therefore must expand and they'll do whatever it takes to do so, however far fetched!
In my opinion, Last of the Time Lords is one of the best episodes. Although the resolution might have some some "deus ex machina" elements, it's far less so than that of the season 1 finale or the season 4 finale. The season 3 ending has some of the most emotional and most epic moments of the series. And the reset thing obviously had to happen after featuring such a dark timeline.
What's funny about last of the time lords is literally the problem could have been solved by JUST destroying the paradox machine. Like they did not need the doctor becomes space god thing to happen. Could easily have been written around in a another draft. Even though it's still a "it can all be fixed by destroying this one thing" situation, it would have made sense in the logic of the story and would have been preferable to be honest.
Did anyone come to this video, after watching the updated version, and since the intros were identical, they thought they might have clicked on the wrong video for a moment? :)
5 worst 5. Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks 4. New Earth 3. End of Time Parts 1&2 2. Fear Her 1. Love and Monsters 5 best 5. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit 4. The Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead 3. Midnight 2. Human Nature/The Family of Blood 1. The Waters of Mars (best new Who story ever)
I mean, it’s your opinion to put the End of Time Part 1 and Last of the Time Lords as some of the worse, fair enough, but... for me, episodes such as The Idiot’s Lantern, The Lazarus Experiment, and 42 are way worse. Though I respect your opinion and I agree with everything else :)))
Last of the time lords is actually a rlly good episode tbh. The CGI is fucking awful but the hole Martha plot is great I just wish they didn’t rehash it. Most of the end of time is good except for the master bit at the start when they bring him back,that was ridiculous.
Awesome Video hugs :) I rarley hear anyone mention the Doctor Who Novles thank you for including them I myself have Shining Darkness and Made of Steel the latter of which scared me a lot love the Cybermen though :)
the 2 most memorable episodes of doc10 have to be the "waters of mars" and "midnight" some epic acting and writing there. Plus an honorable mention to "blink"
ok, by now I'm convinced that I'm just a complete 10 fangirl, even though I believe I rank him the same as 9... because I've been shaking my head all through the worst episodes. Also I loved the Master, as well as the season's finale... I must've been looking at an entirely different show or something. Comes to show that making lists like these really is subjective. Then again, I think my favorite episode is Silence at the Library, and that's simply because the Vashta Nerada scare the shyte out of me. I will agree that the Daleks got royally ruined. I went from 'oh balls' to 'oh not them again' real quick after that episode.
In case I have forgotten any I won’t do a ranked list, however here’s some of mine: Some of my least favourite episodes: - Fear Her - The Shakespeare Code - Gridlock - The Sontaran Stratagem - New Earth Some of my favourite episodes: - The Waters of Mars - The Girl in the Fireplace - The Satan Pit - The Family of Blood - Blink
Best: The impossible planet/Satan pit School reunion Smith and Jones The fires of Pompeii The Library ones Worst: The End of Time Fear Her The Next Doctor The Lazarus Experiement The Sound of serums/Last of time lords
11 is my fav but 10 is 2nd place but best episodes of Tennant was; poison sky, Silence in the library, journeys end/stolen earth, fires of Pompeii, end of time and midnight. Worst are; love and monsters, fear her, 42, utopia, Shakespeare code and idiots lantern.
I've had the exact same experience with Ten. Hero worshipped when I first watched as a teenager I have the same feeling of having outgrown the era, it doesn't carry anything like the same reverence and I find all the other modern who's more enjoyable with age. I think they get away with some very cliched and cringe writing to appeal to as wide a demographic as possible because David Tennant is an outstanding actor. But being a Whovian I agree the characterization is designed as a romantic lead, the overly cutesy element completely removes the jeopardy of an episode and I've found the overly histeronic moments uninspiring when compared to Capaldi's mastery of delivering an emotion with minimal dialogue and gesture, Eccleston's brilliance at hinting at the characters emotion without revealing all straight away and Matt Smith by the end of his tenure had really found his place with that, where he'd drop his doctors silliness for the moment without doing a big dramatic moment. As an aside even in the hero worship days I was never in love with Tens total utter moral authority, what he decided simply was.
"Blink" Is my favorite episode, The Doctor with Martha in a distant time leaving clues to a woman who must save him just because he is the Doctor, the doctor does not care about the people who are sent back in time, he only cares about him and Martha. It's the best writing I've ever seen adapted to TV, and crying angels were scary, not like now that they're another villain in Doctor Who's long list of 57 years of bad development
'Ive outgrown him' That's the best I've ever heard someone sum up my feelings for me. I did like Ten at a time, I find it so hard to watch him now though, endless cheese and soap opera elements.
DAVIS I mean no, Smith was a toddler and Capaldi is treated like a baby. He has a weird thing for downplaying the Doctor so that his companion takes on a ‘motherly’ role. It’s strange.
My Doctor. Some top episodes imo are the girl in the fireplace, Satan's pit, waters of mars, doomsday, human nature, the Christmas invasion, blink, midnight, turn left and the stolen earth/ journeys end
I know it might not be the best episode in the world, but I kind of love New Earth. It's hilarious, and has some interesting ideas. These ideas could have been explored more, but they were executed decently. Overall, it's a pretty good story, although it does have flaws (that resolution). Come on! It's just so much fun!
LOL...you're doing it again...not even a mention of Blink. THE single most important episode to introduce people who've never seen an episode of Dr Who. Flawless on all levels...Carey Mulligan (the greatest companion who never was), the introduction of modern Who's greatest enemy - the Weeping Angels and Moffat at his best before he got too clever for all of us (disappointed no Girl in the fireplace too which surely was the best Season 2 episode). Midnight was also an odd omission (thank you for acknowledging Silence in the library which gave us River Song for the first and ummmm last time). But mostly THANK YOU for recognising the piles of shite that are Last of the Timelords and End of time Pt 1 (although disappointed you didn't throw the last 20 minutes of Part 2 in there as well). I blame Russell T Davies for almost ruining one of Who's greatest companions in Martha. She was arguably the most gorgeous companion ever, highly intelligent, full of integrity and resilience, a great actress who was then reduced to fawning all over the Doctor like a 14 year old high school girl. And that was straight after 2 seasons of Days of our Tardis lives with the Doctor and Ms Tyler. Thank Dalek Khan that Donna wasn't putting up with any of that rubbish (although if she mentioned one more time that she was a temp from Chiswick, I may have thrown my fish fingers and custard at the telly). I also agree with Mae's Memes about Waters from Mars although it's difficult to know how good it actually was when it was surrounded by three episodes of over-blown, boring, self-indulgent RTD drivel. A perfect summary of Tennant's Doctor though. And oh my God, they killed Kylie - you bastards!
WORST: 5. Fear Her 4. Last of the time lords (Utopia and sound of drums were goid though and i consider them separate) 3. The Runaway Bride 2. Love and monsters 1. The Idiot's Lantern BEST: 5. The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky 4. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit 3. Smith and Jones 2. Human Nature/The Family of Blood 1. Silence in the library/forest of the dead
I like Ten, but I don't think he cracks the Top 5 Doctors list anymore, after Eleven and Twelve, he just doesn't cut it in comparison. If you want the rest of my Top 5 Doctors, it would be Eleven, Seven, Twelve, Four and Two, in that order.
Okay I’m sorry but, Midnight is honest to god one of the best episodes of the series by far. Better then Blink come at me. Top 5 Doctor Who Episodes of all time.
My favorite 10 episode is not only my favorite Tennant episode but my favorite doctor who story of ALL TIME. Silence in the library/forest of the dead. Absolute classic. Brilliant character writing, acting, script, production value (that knows when to be cheesy) and one of my favorite doctor who moments ever. Donna thinking her fake husband was a fake husband and seeing him call after her only for his stutter to stop him. Mmmmm I’m gonna cry I’m a cupboard for 40 minutes. For a doctor not at the top of my list Tennant managed to get three of my favorite Who moments ever. Damn I miss that era. I’m gonna go and shit ok Jodie’s era via harsh review now. See ya.
How the fuck is the end of time on the worst list. it one of the best episodes that David tennant even did and john simm was the best Master I love how crazy he was
Beans Episodes Season 2 - Better than some think New Earth Tooth and Claw The Idiot's Lantern Love and Monsters Fear Her 5/14 Season 3 - Rose, Rose, Rose. Evolution of the Daleks 42 2/14 Season 4 - Here We Go The Doctor's Daughter Journey's End 2/14 Specials The Next Doctor Planet of the Dead (eww) The End of Time: Part 1 3/5 Overall, 12 terrible stories out of 47. This makes me look like a massive Tennant fanboy but in total honesty I prefer Eccelston. But come on, no wonder this was the high point of the show. For reference, let’s look at Series 7 Asylum of the Dalek Dinosaurs on a Spaceship A Town Called Mercy The Power of Three The Angels Take Manhattan The Bells of Saint John The Rings of Akhaten Journey to the Centre of the Tardis The Name of the Doctor That’s 9 crap stories out of 13.
Best: End of Time 2, Waters of Mars, Midnight, The Family of Blood, and The Girl in the Fireplace for my best, in no real order. As for the worst, Love and Monsters, Fear her, and I really cant think of anything worse.
Not the biggest fan of the Tenth Doctor era but I do like quite a few stories. Midnight. Unicorn And The Wasp, Midnight. Blink. Waters Of Mars and Family Of Blood 2 parter spring to mind.
my top 5 favourite 10TH DOCTOR WHO EPISODES and my top 5 worst 5 WORST "FEAR HER" 4 WORST "DALEKS IN MANHATTAN- EVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS" 3 WORST "THE LAST OF THE TIME LORDS" 2 WORST "" WORST " THE IDIOT'S LANTERN" 5 BEST "LOVE AND MONSTERS" 4 BEST "" 3 BEST "SCHOOL REUNION" 2 BEST "ARMY OF GHOST'S - DOOMSDAY" BEST "SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY-THE FOREST OF THE DEAD" THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION PLEASE CAN YOU NOT COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My personal favorite 10 episode is the BBC book “The Forever Trap.” The covet is horrible, but trust me it is good. It’s a great dip into the disturbing, but not in a bloody, gory, or cheap way. It is so unique and creative. It has an atmosphere like no other, and the characterizations are on point. It’s a great audiobook!
I always refer to Ten as the emo Doctor and Eleven as the emotional Doctor, because it's only with Eleven that I buy his melancholy. With Ten it always feels campy.
Meris Sorry. That’s all the stuff I like. 10’s weakness was his human vanity. To him, regeneration was an intensely personal death and not only is that a new idea, but vulnerability is interesting.
@@meris8486 you have to realise not everybody is confident in the face of death. 10 used up a regeneration to create the meta crisis doctor, then in 2013 we find out there is a war doctor which meant 10 was going to die but didn't and regenerated into the 11th. I love it, it is the best regeneration scene ever. Matt Smith 11th would have been the best if the regeneration wasn't so quick.
Ummm. Was David Tennent really in Death and the Queen?” When listening to that horrid story I kept thinking “Gee. They completely forgot who the 10th Doctor was and wrote for Matt Smith at his most childish.” Yeah. I’m surprised so many people are fond of it when the writing for 10 is atrocious. He wrestles with a skeleton for no reason at all, he completely ignores Donna when she is blatantly telling him she is in trouble, and poor David had to act completely over the top and “happy” throughout this abomination of a script. The setting and actual story idea I loved, and the ending was poetic and clever, but the horrible characterization kills it. Worst story of the box set. Time Reaver is the better choice because the writers actually got the characters right and showed us that Big Finish were making their own 10th Doctor Series, not trying to bleed nostalgia dry.
I just want a mate.
*gasp* You just want. To mate?
I just want A mate
*YOU’RE NOT MATING WITH ME, SUNSHINE*
In no particular order:
▪ Midnight
▪ Turn Left/ Stolen Earth/ Journey's End
▪ Silence in The Library
▪Blink
▪ The Impossible Planet/ The Satin Pit
yes.
The Satin Pit.

how does Midnight only get an honourable mention? imo I think it's one of the best episodes of all of Doctor Who
Best 5 (No particular order)
1. Blink
2. The Girl in the Fireplace
3. The Christmas Invasion
4. The Waters of Mars
5. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
Worst 5
1. Fear Her
2. Love and Monsters
3. Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks
4. The Idiot's Lantern
5. Planet of the Dead
The fact that you left out Silence in the Library, Stolen Earth, Water on Mars, Midnight, and Turn Left just to name a few just goes to show how banger of a run Tennant in the Russel T Davis era really had.
I agreed with most of your worst and best. But, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Daleks in Manhatten was fantastic! A cult of Daleks designed to find new ways to advance and excell, no matter how it contradicted their whole existence, the Daleks must rule and therefore must expand and they'll do whatever it takes to do so, however far fetched!
Well, you got the judoon back!!
I actually really liked all of the episodes that you had on the worst list.
Bugsy 101 that's great! Personally, I've warmed to New earth.
SamyulDavis that's the only episode I thought was awful (well other than love and monsters fear her and that shitty Chibnall episode aka 42)
In my opinion, Last of the Time Lords is one of the best episodes. Although the resolution might have some some "deus ex machina" elements, it's far less so than that of the season 1 finale or the season 4 finale. The season 3 ending has some of the most emotional and most epic moments of the series. And the reset thing obviously had to happen after featuring such a dark timeline.
"The odd bit of crying."
*I COULD DO SO MUCH MORE!!!!! SO MUCH MOOOORE!!!!!!!!!*
Craggsy's Creed I work that quote into conversation weekly.
What's funny about last of the time lords is literally the problem could have been solved by JUST destroying the paradox machine. Like they did not need the doctor becomes space god thing to happen. Could easily have been written around in a another draft. Even though it's still a "it can all be fixed by destroying this one thing" situation, it would have made sense in the logic of the story and would have been preferable to be honest.
“Judoon feel free to come back” spoke too soon. They were fine but they featured in horrifyingly bad stories
No one asked but here my list
1. Water Of Mars
2. Blink
3. Midnight
4. Utopia
5. Silence In The Library
[I like the horror episodes]
OK, so I'm two years late to this party - but 8'22" onwards has me grinning like the Chesire Cat! Cheers mister - have some internet hugs! Mxx
Why is this on dawko's deltarune playlist?
"The most emotional doctor today."
12 the doctor goes into a blind-silent rage
David Tennant was so popular they made a pokemon character inspired by his time as the doctor look it up the character is called L00ker

Best: Midnight. Worst: Evolution of The Daleks.
Did anyone come to this video, after watching the updated version, and since the intros were identical, they thought they might have clicked on the wrong video for a moment? :)
5 worst
5. Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks
4. New Earth
3. End of Time Parts 1&2
2. Fear Her
1. Love and Monsters
5 best
5. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
4. The Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead
3. Midnight
2. Human Nature/The Family of Blood
1. The Waters of Mars (best new Who story ever)
I mean, it’s your opinion to put the End of Time Part 1 and Last of the Time Lords as some of the worse, fair enough, but... for me, episodes such as The Idiot’s Lantern, The Lazarus Experiment, and 42 are way worse. Though I respect your opinion and I agree with everything else :)))
Last of the time lords is actually a rlly good episode tbh. The CGI is fucking awful but the hole Martha plot is great I just wish they didn’t rehash it. Most of the end of time is good except for the master bit at the start when they bring him back,that was ridiculous.
I like the end of time part 2 apart from that fucking rant tennant did in front of Wilfred
Awesome Video hugs :) I rarley hear anyone mention the Doctor Who Novles thank you for including them I myself have Shining Darkness and Made of Steel the latter of which scared me a lot love the Cybermen though :)
loved john simm as the master. no idea how you can dislike him lol.
YES! Thank you for saying that. Martha is amazing and she deserves way better.
I feel like Midnight is easily one of the most underrated episodes in this era of doctor who
I LOVE DAVID TENNANT SOOO MUCH IM 10 AND I LOOOVE HIM I STILL WATCH HIM I WATCH HIS SERIES AGAIN AND AGAIN
Ayesha Siddiqah Ahmed This was me in 2008, and also me now.
the 2 most memorable episodes of doc10 have to be the "waters of mars" and "midnight" some epic acting and writing there. Plus an honorable mention to "blink"
I was searching thru dawkos deltarune playlist and this is in it
same, I think Dawko meant to save thus to a different playlist xD
SomeGuy 010 What is that out of interest?
@@SamyulDavis yeah idk
ok, by now I'm convinced that I'm just a complete 10 fangirl, even though I believe I rank him the same as 9... because I've been shaking my head all through the worst episodes.
Also I loved the Master, as well as the season's finale... I must've been looking at an entirely different show or something.
Comes to show that making lists like these really is subjective.
Then again, I think my favorite episode is Silence at the Library, and that's simply because the Vashta Nerada scare the shyte out of me.
I will agree that the Daleks got royally ruined. I went from 'oh balls' to 'oh not them again' real quick after that episode.
Well... you got your Judoon back!
In case I have forgotten any I won’t do a ranked list, however here’s some of mine:
Some of my least favourite episodes:
- Fear Her
- The Shakespeare Code
- Gridlock
- The Sontaran Stratagem
- New Earth
Some of my favourite episodes:
- The Waters of Mars
- The Girl in the Fireplace
- The Satan Pit
- The Family of Blood
- Blink
The Satan Pit, Rise of The Cybermen, Doomsday, MIDNIGHT. Also Blink. Because it's awesome. And iconic.
The end of time part 1delivers the best set of Wilfred lines though
“The cactus saved us”
“It’s cacti”
“That’s racist”
Best:
The impossible planet/Satan pit
School reunion
Smith and Jones
The fires of Pompeii
The Library ones
Worst:
The End of Time
Fear Her
The Next Doctor
The Lazarus Experiement
The Sound of serums/Last of time lords
11 is my fav but 10 is 2nd place but best episodes of Tennant was; poison sky, Silence in the library, journeys end/stolen earth, fires of Pompeii, end of time and midnight. Worst are; love and monsters, fear her, 42, utopia, Shakespeare code and idiots lantern.
I've had the exact same experience with Ten. Hero worshipped when I first watched as a teenager I have the same feeling of having outgrown the era, it doesn't carry anything like the same reverence and I find all the other modern who's more enjoyable with age. I think they get away with some very cliched and cringe writing to appeal to as wide a demographic as possible because David Tennant is an outstanding actor.
But being a Whovian I agree the characterization is designed as a romantic lead, the overly cutesy element completely removes the jeopardy of an episode and I've found the overly histeronic moments uninspiring when compared to Capaldi's mastery of delivering an emotion with minimal dialogue and gesture, Eccleston's brilliance at hinting at the characters emotion without revealing all straight away and Matt Smith by the end of his tenure had really found his place with that, where he'd drop his doctors silliness for the moment without doing a big dramatic moment.
As an aside even in the hero worship days I was never in love with Tens total utter moral authority, what he decided simply was.
Freaky fever dream is right - I always forget that Daleks in Manhattan happened.
I liked "Deep Breath". The ending of the main plot wasn't that thrilling, but all the small stuff was just soooo good.
"Blink" Is my favorite episode, The Doctor with Martha in a distant time leaving clues to a woman who must save him just because he is the Doctor, the doctor does not care about the people who are sent back in time, he only cares about him and Martha. It's the best writing I've ever seen adapted to TV, and crying angels were scary, not like now that they're another villain in Doctor Who's long list of 57 years of bad development
'Ive outgrown him'
That's the best I've ever heard someone sum up my feelings for me. I did like Ten at a time, I find it so hard to watch him now though, endless cheese and soap opera elements.
He's still a strong favourite for me, but he struck a CHORD when I was younger, whilst Moffat presented us with 3 more mature incarnations.
DAVIS
I mean no, Smith was a toddler and Capaldi is treated like a baby. He has a weird thing for downplaying the Doctor so that his companion takes on a ‘motherly’ role. It’s strange.
Hated Simm’s Master til he came back in the S10 Finale. His original couple of episodes were cringy. That character was not The Master.
My Doctor. Some top episodes imo are the girl in the fireplace, Satan's pit, waters of mars, doomsday, human nature, the Christmas invasion, blink, midnight, turn left and the stolen earth/ journeys end
I know it might not be the best episode in the world, but I kind of love New Earth. It's hilarious, and has some interesting ideas. These ideas could have been explored more, but they were executed decently. Overall, it's a pretty good story, although it does have flaws (that resolution). Come on! It's just so much fun!
LOL...you're doing it again...not even a mention of Blink. THE single most important episode to introduce people who've never seen an episode of Dr Who. Flawless on all levels...Carey Mulligan (the greatest companion who never was), the introduction of modern Who's greatest enemy - the Weeping Angels and Moffat at his best before he got too clever for all of us (disappointed no Girl in the fireplace too which surely was the best Season 2 episode). Midnight was also an odd omission (thank you for acknowledging Silence in the library which gave us River Song for the first and ummmm last time). But mostly THANK YOU for recognising the piles of shite that are Last of the Timelords and End of time Pt 1 (although disappointed you didn't throw the last 20 minutes of Part 2 in there as well). I blame Russell T Davies for almost ruining one of Who's greatest companions in Martha. She was arguably the most gorgeous companion ever, highly intelligent, full of integrity and resilience, a great actress who was then reduced to fawning all over the Doctor like a 14 year old high school girl. And that was straight after 2 seasons of Days of our Tardis lives with the Doctor and Ms Tyler. Thank Dalek Khan that Donna wasn't putting up with any of that rubbish (although if she mentioned one more time that she was a temp from Chiswick, I may have thrown my fish fingers and custard at the telly). I also agree with Mae's Memes about Waters from Mars although it's difficult to know how good it actually was when it was surrounded by three episodes of over-blown, boring, self-indulgent RTD drivel. A perfect summary of Tennant's Doctor though. And oh my God, they killed Kylie - you bastards!
blink has a cool concept but really poor execution and silly sparrow is barely a character
This was my doctor and god I miss him. Glad he came back for the 50th same 9 wasn’t there two but I can always imagine a story with both of them
WORST:
5. Fear Her
4. Last of the time lords (Utopia and sound of drums were goid though and i consider them separate)
3. The Runaway Bride
2. Love and monsters
1. The Idiot's Lantern
BEST:
5. The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky
4. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
3. Smith and Jones
2. Human Nature/The Family of Blood
1. Silence in the library/forest of the dead
my favourite doctor. loved the dark doctor moments
Paul Cornell never came back because the episodes he's credited on were actually re-written extensively by RTD.
RS 1998 Ouch.
I love Evolution of the Daleks.
I like Ten, but I don't think he cracks the Top 5 Doctors list anymore, after Eleven and Twelve, he just doesn't cut it in comparison. If you want the rest of my Top 5 Doctors, it would be Eleven, Seven, Twelve, Four and Two, in that order.
Okay I’m sorry but, Midnight is honest to god one of the best episodes of the series by far. Better then Blink come at me. Top 5 Doctor Who Episodes of all time.
My favorite 10 episode is not only my favorite Tennant episode but my favorite doctor who story of ALL TIME.
Silence in the library/forest of the dead.
Absolute classic. Brilliant character writing, acting, script, production value (that knows when to be cheesy) and one of my favorite doctor who moments ever. Donna thinking her fake husband was a fake husband and seeing him call after her only for his stutter to stop him. Mmmmm I’m gonna cry I’m a cupboard for 40 minutes.
For a doctor not at the top of my list Tennant managed to get three of my favorite Who moments ever. Damn I miss that era. I’m gonna go and shit ok Jodie’s era via harsh review now. See ya.
How the fuck is the end of time on the worst list. it one of the best episodes that David tennant even did and john simm was the best Master I love how crazy he was
Love and monster should be the worst.
EdgyTeenTryingToBeEdgierThanHeActuallyIs its one of my favourites
The Girl in the Fireplace.
you make channel pup sad
Crash Bandicoot That was one of the best ones.

The Doctor's Daughter
Journey's End
2/14
Specials

Planet of the Dead (eww)
The End of Time: Part 1
3/5
Overall, 12 terrible stories out of 47. This makes me look like a massive Tennant fanboy but in total honesty I prefer Eccelston. But come on, no wonder this was the high point of the show.
For reference, let’s look at Series 7
Asylum of the Dalek
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
A Town Called Mercy
The Power of Three
The Angels Take Manhattan
The Bells of Saint John
The Rings of Akhaten
Journey to the Centre of the Tardis
The Name of the Doctor
That’s 9 crap stories out of 13.
Best: End of Time 2, Waters of Mars, Midnight, The Family of Blood, and The Girl in the Fireplace for my best, in no real order. As for the worst, Love and Monsters, Fear her, and I really cant think of anything worse.
Master explored the Doctor and the Master better than the End of Time
one of my absolute favorite 10th Doctor Story is the Comic: „The Weeping Angels of Moons“, (well it‘s the german translation)
I really like the Series 3 Dalek two parter I don’t know why it just seems fun and also the last scene with Dalek Caan was I thought a great scene
Not the biggest fan of the Tenth Doctor era but I do like quite a few stories. Midnight. Unicorn And The Wasp, Midnight. Blink. Waters Of Mars and Family Of Blood 2 parter spring to mind.
Haha, yeah so where’s Blink? I’m mortally offended that it wasn’t even on the HONOURABLE MENTIONS! How dare you.
valid
I just love a LOT of 10 stories very strongly. Blink is still a solid 8.
my top 5 favourite 10TH DOCTOR WHO EPISODES and my top 5 worst 5 WORST "FEAR HER" 4 WORST "DALEKS IN MANHATTAN- EVOLUTION OF THE DALEKS" 3 WORST "THE LAST OF THE TIME LORDS" 2 WORST "" WORST " THE IDIOT'S LANTERN" 5 BEST "LOVE AND MONSTERS" 4 BEST "" 3 BEST "SCHOOL REUNION" 2 BEST "ARMY OF GHOST'S - DOOMSDAY" BEST "SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY-THE FOREST OF THE DEAD" THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION PLEASE CAN YOU NOT COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last of the time lords doesnt make sense but as a kid it made me go crazy
Best

1.silence in the library \forest of the dead
Worst
5.gridlock
4.Daleks in Manhattan \evolution of the Daleks
3.idiots lantern
2.love and monsters
1.fear her
Dobby the house elf? I thought he looked like golem from lord of the rings.
My personal favorite 10 episode is the BBC book “The Forever Trap.” The covet is horrible, but trust me it is good. It’s a great dip into the disturbing, but not in a bloody, gory, or cheap way. It is so unique and creative. It has an atmosphere like no other, and the characterizations are on point. It’s a great audiobook!
today's doctor who is dramatic . The doctor who 1980's era was bumpy rollercoaster ride
Bad thing about fear her is cuz of the bad acting from the kid she’s just annoying.
I'm just going to say before I see it. I love Love and Monsters
Not in this list, too unique and easy.
CeX got loads of doctor who
New Earth is not a new Doctor story. The Christmas Invasion was.
I always refer to Ten as the emo Doctor and Eleven as the emotional Doctor, because it's only with Eleven that I buy his melancholy. With Ten it always feels campy.
I don't like 10 as much as most people but he's still great
Davis will be happy with series 12 and the judoon's return.
I hate The End Of Time part 2 as well. I wish the doctor hadn't taken half an hour to die and that he'd gone out with more dignity like nine did.
Meris Sorry. That’s all the stuff I like.
10’s weakness was his human vanity. To him, regeneration was an intensely personal death and not only is that a new idea, but vulnerability is interesting.
Okay I can see your perspective. I know a lot of the fandom love End Of Time
I wish I could meet more of them! It's still just a 6/10 overall though, because that first part is so atrocious.
@@meris8486 you have to realise not everybody is confident in the face of death. 10 used up a regeneration to create the meta crisis doctor, then in 2013 we find out there is a war doctor which meant 10 was going to die but didn't and regenerated into the 11th. I love it, it is the best regeneration scene ever. Matt Smith 11th would have been the best if the regeneration wasn't so quick.
The fact that Midnight only got an honey able mention hurt my soul
There is no bad Doctor Who episode starring David Tennant as The Doctor in my opinion.
I got a Kilt commercial on David Tennant, not even joking.
Tennant's novels were amazing; I loved The Pirate Loop
Tbh I actually rlly liked the Absorbalof episode 😂😂😂
I love Daleks In Manhattan and Evolution Of The Daleks. I believe it so underratted.
Ummm. Was David Tennent really in Death and the Queen?” When listening to that horrid story I kept thinking “Gee. They completely forgot who the 10th Doctor was and wrote for Matt Smith at his most childish.” Yeah. I’m surprised so many people are fond of it when the writing for 10 is atrocious. He wrestles with a skeleton for no reason at all, he completely ignores Donna when she is blatantly telling him she is in trouble, and poor David had to act completely over the top and “happy” throughout this abomination of a script. The setting and actual story idea I loved, and the ending was poetic and clever, but the horrible characterization kills it. Worst story of the box set. Time Reaver is the better choice because the writers actually got the characters right and showed us that Big Finish were making their own 10th Doctor Series, not trying to bleed nostalgia dry.
