I would argue that this in itself is evidence of Four's bugfuckery. He was always doing this.
There is that. He was the most alien of the Doctors mostly because Tom was mad as a hatter himself.
And Six is still canon. If Eight is now canon, then Six sure as hell is.
I didn't say he wasn't canon, I said I don't *know* his canon, only his extended canon. I left Who fandom during 6's reign and only saw a handful of those and Seven's episodes. Can't say nostalgia has made me any fonder of either sets of series.
without Rose (groan), Nine probably would have turned into the Master.
I agree. I'm convinced it was his damage that made him cling to her so tightly in comparison to other companions, and the loss of his own people that made him take such consideration in keeping her in contact with hers. (I don't have a problem with canon Rose, it's fanon Rose that gets up my nose.)
New Doctor has flat-out ceded the voice of his conscience to his companion. When Rose told him to put down the gun, he put it down. When Rose said nothing about how he treated Harriet, he remained convinced of his moral victory, despite rewriting history in his snit. Sarah Jane talked him out of becoming a god. And Donna is completely playing Jiminy Cricket.
