i really like the vid and your interpretation of it Thank you. :)
i really don´t like Eleven too much, but i know is Matt Smith is right, after "The Time Lord Victorious" and the events of The end of time, really how to carry on... Fascinating. I love Eleven best of all - especially as a contrast to Ten. (But I'll get to that.)
i loved Nine because he was cool, cunning and sarcastic and he had no problems with been insinuated and even thinking about a threesome. LOL. I don't think he'd go there, but oh yes. I know exactly what you mean.
i fell for Ten because after all of his lives Ten was brave enough to try to be human, he felt with all his two hearts, everything... with everything that means for a been like him with a past like him, but he let himself to believe and love and lost and have friends and even experience a human life... Oh I understand this, but that was also his downfall - he's not human, and trying to be something he wasn't tore him apart. (The Lonely God indeed. I have LOTS of meta on this elsewhere...) He felt too much and then turned it all inwards. Very dangerous, but incredibly compelling. He broke far too beautifully...
he fell everything he could feel with the master all the lost, all they could have been, all the hate, all the love... because the master and the doctor were friends and maybe more than that and after the master felt betrayal and developed hate and they private war began and they become enemies... I could watch Ten/Simm!Master all day, seriously.
so even i understand the double standard of eleven because is the obvious consequence of Ten and Nine it hurts and i don't like to see him because he is so cold masquerade in his silly acts... This is where I have to tilt my head, because cold is not the word I'd ever use for Eleven. (There is no right or wrong, we all see what we see, I'm just curious as how we see things so differently.) Eleven - after all the heartache he endured as Ten - manages to somehow reach out, open up, and make enduring bonds. To just care about people. Eleven is like a grandad (well he *is* a grandad, his family is just dead) - daft and silly, and with multiple scars that he can't always hide... I find Eleven far more accepting [on the whole] than Ten, who always set himself up as the moral authority.
he was not cold with the Ponds, not get me wrong, but he is with anything and anyone else... even with Rory sometimes, like when he makes him leave his wife behind after he lied to him! or how he married River for finish the fixed point in time and nothing more, even if after he really loves her... Eleven is... very much like Seven. He gets on with it, and he doesn't indulge in selfpity. I find this an excellent quality, although I can see how others find it off putting. (Re. River, then if you're in the mood for long meta, this essay spells out all my feelings: The Doctor’s Final Lesson, courtesy of River Song.)
somehow Dark Ten cared more than dark Eleven We shall have to disagree, which I hope is fine.
Anyway, thank you for your lovely long comment, it's wonderful to have something to dig into. :)
