I crushed on Nine SO HARD... so very hard, he and Rose just did *things* to me. It was New Who and Nine that made me search out fanfic and rediscover fandom in the online age, I must admit.
I am with you; I had so very much trouble with Ten when he first came on the scene. Although there were bits of his first episode that I liked, in retrospect I don't think they dealt nearly enough with Rose's grief, with the difficulty she would have in accepting a new man. And then David's entire first season (until he actually *loses* Rose) there's just no depth in it for me. I grew to love David in the role, but god... Nine. Love his look as the Doctor, too - and it's honestly the best thing I've seen Chris in ever. WHY didn't he do another year!!!
