11th Doctor Casting announcment tommorow

I dunno, he was a moody bastard and he wore leather. Given what little people have got to base "MATT SMIFF IZ TEH EMOO" comments on I guess that's enough to qualify.
 
Oh, a dark costume makes you emo? :lol: I always thought bad-ass (and the 9th Doctor was that) was the opposite of emo.
 
Apart from the hair surely number 9 ticked a lot of the emo boxes.

Not really. Being depressive, or even depressed, is not the same as being emo.

Emos are whiny teenagers that want you to see how much PAIN they are in. That is certainly not 9, and I don't really think 11 will be that either.

He just happens to have the same haircut most of those emo people have.
 
Emo? I dunno. He's not so bad once you get him into something besides black.

That shorter version of his hairstyle I don't really mind. It's a little close to Tennant's, but I could live with it.

Yeah, it looks OK when it's shorter.

The long version is the kind of haircut looks like an awful lot of work invested in looking retarded.

Number 9 was moody, but he wasn't whiny. Plus, he wasn't being played by a twenty-six-year-old, either. ;)

If anyone was "emo", it's Teary McSadface Number 10. Ten minutes of him angst-ing with doe-eyes about being "lonely", and I wanted to punch him in the nuts until he regenerated.

I loved that Sarah-Jane called him out on it at the end of Journey's End, as well. She's used to the 4th Doctor's almost need for solitude. And that's something I wish they would try again: a Doctor who doesn't want a companion. Sarah-Jane was the only companion the 4th Doctor offered a trip to after he regenerated (save, I guess, him making a point with Harry Sullivan). Leela forces her way in, Romana is forced on him, and Adric was a stowaway. I like that. I think it shows storytelling variety, beyond the "Magic Carpet Ride" Doctor's 9 & 10 were always on about...

Aw, but he was so adorable when he did that... Also, it's great how Tennant is able to convey so much emotion with his eyes.

Not only do I agree with you about Number 9 being a bad-ass, but I just noticed you sig. Hilarious! :techman:

Thanks. :) I'm only witty twice a year, so I've had this signature for a while.

Yeah it would be nice for the TARDIS to malfunction again so the Doctor couldn't take his companion home, I've definitely had enough of the 'I want to travel with you forever' nonsense.
