Yay for Nine! I loved CE in the role and this moment was a tear-jerker for sure.
No doctor will be as quotable as Tom Baker’s.
Reading that quote made me realize I’m actually already nostalgic for Eccles’ Doctor! Ah well, soon I suppose I’ll be nostalgic for Tennant’s! Sorry to see him go, but that’s the way of the Doctor(s)…
To Jen: OMG – that is one of my favorite lines too. It’s what made me crush on the character of Doctor Who in the first place (regardless of who plays him). I can picture that whole scene in my head perfectly! He will always come for you. OH – and that one scene where he is trying to get back and Rose and Ricky were waiting for him and a lot of time had passed and he finally shows up and asks Rose, “How long did you wait?” And she says “Nineteen days” or something and he says “Good, for now on you always wait nineteen days!” I use that one and just put in whatever number would work for me.
Fantastic!
Thanks for the Nine quote! He’s what made me fall in love with Dr. Who in the first place!
I love the Doctor ever so much. I need a tissue now.
Also, Bananas are good.
That is all.
ah. I loves me some Nine!!! The hologram scene: “have a fantastic life.” sob sob! Thanks CE!!
Nine!! What a great Doctor CE was. The DT fandom has actually gone into overdrive now that he’s announce he’s quitting, but I’ve always felt Nine’s contribution to the gloriousness that is Doctor Who has been sorely overlooked. I wish CE could make a comeback, but failing that, he really needs to get his own show or get signed to do a huge movie soon! He is just too fantastic an actor. And so ADORABLE!
I really want to love Doctor Who, but it really scares the bejeezus out of me sometimes. Maybe my problem was that I started with the completely creepy episode “The Empty Child”. Yes, the small child in horror movie schtick is wearing a little thin nowadays, but still, is there anything eerier than a child’s voice repeating “Are you my Mummy?” over and over again?
@J Lo – The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances is still my favourite Doctor Who episodes. Soooo creepy and still so light-hearted and joyous at the end. CE dancing = love 4eva.
I don’t think that I’ve cried at anything oh Who (not counting Torchwood because I think that the last ep of series 2 is the most that I’ve ever cried in a 10 minute period) as much as I cried at that moment in time. I really like 10, but 9 was just perfect. I particularly enjoy the scary fantastic in the face of the lone Dalek. Eccleston forever!
I agree, no. 9 was just perfect in so many ways – and an unlikely Doctor when I first heard he was doing it coz Eccleston is best known for doing darker, more intense roles, but he brought such an irrepressible goofy charm to the Doctor I knew I was going to love the show. He’s right, he was fantastic!
