Four was my introduction to The Doctor as well, and none of the others have quite measured up, although Thirteen has a number of four-like mannerisms.
The hints at romance are what have kept me from bothering with most of the New Era Doctors.
When Adric perished fending off a Cybermen attack, I almost cried... and I didn't even like Adric that much. Yup, Cybermen, they are relentless and merciless and full-on scary!
I suppose we should move this discussion to a Doctor Who topic rather than co-opting werepuppy's Doll A Day topic. 
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

I cheered when Adric bit it. I had a bit of a crush on Nyssa and spider boy Adric was putting moves on her at the time, so I was not heartbroken when he was no more.

Hee hee! Yeah, I did not care for the whiny, petulant brat either. And Nyssa... she was somethin', all right! So it surprised me that I was emotionally moved when the Cybermen got him. That was a well-written and well-directed episode if it could make me feel sorrow over the loss of the character I'd been hoping would leave, one way or another.

Thirteenth Doctor is great, really enjoyed her season. My favourite is Eight - only 1 (okay 2 if you count the mini-sode where he regenerated) tv episode, but so many audio and book adventures!
Kamala is the current Ms Marvel in the comics. The doll is from the Marvel Rising line by Hasbro - a friend had to post her out to me because the line has not been released outside of the States yet.
Eight is the longest running Doctor, I think. The minisode was so perfect for the 50th, I would love if they did stuff like that more often. Just little episodes of a past Doctor.

Cyber men are scarier than Daleks as they are more likely to happen to us. I think they’re the main ones, but if I think for a few more minutes I can probably think of more )
Agree on the Rose front and even Billie Piper calls her a cow, so I do think we're actually having the right thought there. I did argue once that if they were going to push romances on us, Ten/Donna would have worked a lot better than any of the others since Tennant and Tate have brilliant on-screen chemistry. Mind you, I would just generally love it if Donna came back to us. Agreed fully on River/Twelve working very well, though. Not especially fussed either way about the series long arcs, but some do drag a bit.

(Re: hints of romance ... Four/Romana, anyone?)
I would be so on board for a Doctor Who topic.

Aw, thank you. Though I don't know how either of them would feel about being called 'cute'.

Oh yeah, Ophelia would be starting to plan a wedding if she caught Wednesday like this, and while Wednesday may love her family... Yeah, no way.

Oh, of course! Wednesday knows her value and will not accept anything less.

Nothing is being taken that has not been offered. In other words, don't worry, if Wednesday wasn't okay with it, Loki would be losing a hand. She's got ways.

146. Unex.plainable Connection

The soft focus suggests that this may be a dream or fantasy. On the part of whom, I wonder?

Ah, now that is the question to be asking. Though I don't think we'll necessarily get a proper answer...

Yeah, they're not so good with any variation of the word 'cute'. Deadliest, on the other hand, they take as a huge compliment.

You have a very good point there, even if they may not be willing to acknowledge it. (Also they're not pleased by the use of 'cute' in regards to them. I'd watch out...)

147. Sewing: Sid's I Heart CRAP Top
![[Image: 55278967_64bb0a2b600c289adffb4c1690a66af1_standard.jpg]](http://www.23hq.com/23666/55278967_64bb0a2b600c289adffb4c1690a66af1_standard.jpg)
Inspired by... I think it was a Vivenne Westwood top. It's meant to be an ironic joke regarding the canon Sid is a fan character from.
