Midnight was one of my favorites, too - haha, without your companion to interact with people for you, you FAIL! I like David Tennant just fine, but that Doctor...ugh.

Yeah, never liked him. He reminded me of the various uber-popular tossers I knew in my goth days, all pay attention to me! and I loves you so much! at least until you disagree with me about anything then I hate you forever! but no matter what I'm awesome! I only enjoyed him with Donna, because she could actually smack him down from time to time, when he got whimsically genocidal and such.

Aaaugh, yeah, he really, really had an irritating sense of entitlement. He'd turn up out of nowhere, tell people what to do, then expect them to obey because he thought he knew best; it was paternalistic smugness at its finest. Granted, in the right hands, it made him a flawed, interesting character... But a lot of the time, the narrative just vindicated his self-righteousness and set opposing characters up as incompetent strawmen, which was... blah.

Now I have a twisted desire to find fic where he screws things up and gets his ass kicked in interesting ways.
