Degrees of seperation

misaffectionAnd that is until Doctor Who aired I'd never seen Chris is anything. Well actually, I saw Gone in 60 Seconds about three years ago but the less said about that, the better.
I am a Doctor Who fan. It's sci fi and I love sci fi. I didn't think I'd get quite so suckered into the fandom though. Maybe I should have known better; I am a Stargate fan after all and that fandoms had me in its clutches for years.
I liked the new Doctor Who. Smart and sassy. Rose was a True Companion. The Doctor was just slightly weird. The script had a great sense of humour.
Ninth claimed me second episode. The End of the World and Jabe and "I'd just want to say - how sorry I am" and omg tears! Emotion from the Doctor is a rare beast. Then Narked!Doctor and Cassandra and omg he's cute when he's annoyed.
*crash, bang*
The Unquiet Dead and "I think this is my dance" and Possessive!Doctor and That Dress and ship ahoy! I am, as most people on my flist know, a complete sap and will ship just about anything really. (Yes every glance Sheppard and Weir exchange IS making me squee).
And herein lies the problem: at some point my appreciation of the Doctor became... something else. Every week Chris' performance would have me spellbound. He's tall. He's handsome. He has blue eyes and I'm a sucker for blue eyes. He can act his socks off (and often does, along with the rest of his clothes, but that's another matter). He'd go from childlike manic glee to uber seriousness in a heartbeat. There were times when the only thing you got was the storm in those gorgeous eyes and a clenched jaw. Utterly in the moment, utterly believable. A "bloody good job" to quote his replacement.
So now I'm torn because I'm a complete fangirl over Chris, but I'm also a Doctor Who fan. I want Chris back but I can't wait to see Tennant's version. I'm confused as heck because I want to be loyal to my Doctor (even though he'd slap me for that sentiment) buuuuuut... doesn't the new series sound good?
My head... is killing me. I need a Doctor.
Chris?
