Count me as one of those who never understood Tennant's appeal. He had none of the sense of gravity that Christopher Eccleston brought to the role. Is he more the Doctor in the classic mold? To be sure, but in a way that feels like an imitation of what came before rather than his own character. I'd rather he'd done something different and fun than just ran around like a maniac. Blargh.
I also think Ten was bizarre above and beyond what we expect from the Doctor. He's already half regenerated before, so seeing him die is less emotional because he's beaten death before, and there's still one copy of him in the world. So it's hard to really miss him since he hasn't gone away.
