Nine is unquestionably my favorite Doctor of them all - he had a wounded gravitas that I think they made a mistake to take away from Ten. However, I'm having hope for this season. It looks like they're making it a little darker, and Martha is an excellent companion... but then, I became a loyal fan of hers the moment it became obvious that she reads both Ray Bradbury and Harry Potter. One of us! One of us!
