The Tenth Doctor was the tenth incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor. Unlike his immediate predecessor, who was plagued by melancholy due to his actions during the Last Great Time War, this incarnation was much more outgoing and genial, a demeanour that hid the "survivor's guilt" that had plagued him since the war. Over his life, however, the weight became much more pronounced. He was haunted by companions lost, enemies believed long-dead and events that threatened the fabric of time itself. He met his end after he absorbed a huge quantity of nuclear radiation whilst saving the life of his friend, Wilfred Mott, leading to his regeneration into his next incarnation.

When Ten was 'normal' Ten in this story he was really good, but as I have said elsewhere the stuff where he is aged and shrunk and then floaty is just ridiculous. It's on of my least favourite things in the entire run of the show. I don't know what it is, it just really, really annoys me.

Agreed, the aged and shrunk was just ridiculous! It was unrealistic and just purely stupid! To me it seems like a CGI thing to show "we do spend money doing good CGI" but it was just ridiculous, and how they made him get to that was silly!! |

I'm with everyone else, the CGIDoctor drives me nuts. The heavenly floaty bits were equally annoying. I really think it lets the overall story down

I never realised there was such a dislike for the old/tiny/glowy/floaty Doctor. I'd never thought much about it either way though. It's not the greatest bit of writing/story but I also don't think it's as bad as some others do.

I think this is probably what it boiled down to. There was so much they could have done with it without making it look so daft, but instead they did this and it just stood out so much from the rest of the story, and not in a good way. |

Aside from when he was getting all angsty with Jack about Rose or the fact he shouldn't be possible etc, I thought Ten was pretty good in this story. The stuff where he was all God-like in the final part was annoying, but other than that I liked him in this.

The CGI stuff is bad. There really is no excuse for it, but I had always thought the floaty Doctor was a reference to The Mind Of Evil. I'm probably wrong, but that's what I always thought it was meant to be.

I'd never even thought of that. Good catch. It makes more sense now. |

Oh that makes more sense now. Yes, I agree that's probably what it was then.
