I adore him. Fav Doctor, hands down. Loved the bits and flashes of the other Doctors in his acting, loved his style...he got me into the series, catching up on the classic stuff and I've been here ever since.
The only reason I have not participated in this thread yet is because everything I have to say about the 10th Doctor I have said 100th times over on Twitter.
But I'll just echo what you said... I started watching the show because of 10th, shock horror, I've never been a geek or a Sci-Fi fanatic, yet he made me get into the show & at 30 years odd made me suspend disbelief & turn into a child, with the faith that this wonderful man could really save the world.
I was taken in such a wonderful journey by him, I would religiously wait for every new episode impatiently, because of him & his adventures I got into role playing on Twitter & the utter happiness that he brought into my life can never never be replaced, never be forgotten.
He is most undoubtedly MY Doctor, he will always be & I would follow him blindly to the ends of the earth.
In MY Universe, MY reality, Ten lives forever..
