.LacyMB pens a defense of DoctorWho's Ninth Doctor, whose brief reign is often ignored -- despite how important and poignant it was:
for years, building significant fanbases that Eccleston’s brief tenure had no hope of matching.
Eccleston’s Doctor simultaneously embodies everything that is both relatable and strange about the character. Nine is alien—truly Other—in a way that few incarnations of the Time Lord have been before or since, yet he exists in the most human and ordinary of packaging. His basic leather jacket and jeans look is striking simply because it’s so aggressively normal.
That this Doctor is born of tragedy is what makes Nine such a damaged soul, but it’s also what gives him such a ferocious, unmatched capacity tois unmatched in his pure emotional range, from sadness to rage to simple joy. His greatest weakness—the seemingly bottomless grief he carries around with him—is also his greatest strength. It’s a reminder of that loss that motivates him to do better, to make different choices, to refuse to be defined by a single horrific act.
