Yay, a post! :3

If you need any help with PTSD stuff, my mother works at the local VA and has tons of experience with diagonising and treating people with it, among other disorders and all that jazz. ^^; It's pretty serious stuff. I can see how it'd be taxing emotionally, even if you're just writing about it. No worries. I know how school can be. *mutters under her breath that school is evil*

Supposedly the Master is like the Daleks in the sense they never "die" kind of lame to me, since these days we see more Daleks than I think we should so they're not as "rare" or "surprising" as they ought to be. I'm still a huge sucker for Nine, he'll always be my favorite. Always. But all the actors who played the Doctor did it well and put their own spin on it. My hang up is that most people associate Nine as being broodish or angsty when he had some of the most meaningful episodes of the bunch and he was often goofy and caring. Most just remember Ten for being ramble-y or something like that but I still argue that Ten is at his best in the final season of his. Episodes like "Waters of Mars" or "Midnight" are so good (and without companions). I love that Ten continued to love Rose as Nine would but I still prefer the way Nine protects Rose but also let her grow on her own.

I'd say Ten is better on his own, as Nine needed Rose more. I hated Ten until Rose left because I was biased and kept thinking back to Nine. I didn't like Ten until Martha showed up, and as far as her "crushing" on Ten, well who can blame her? At least she had the sense to make up her mind like an adult. I still don't think the crap she gets is fair, she met Ten at the wrong time and no one should diss her because she liked Ten, though the way he treated her at times was a bit cold. I felt sorry for her at times. Even so, The Doctor was still in love with Rose and it's not Martha's fault. I don't think she was too pushy with the Doctor, she did get the hint that the Doctor still likes his old companion, and who wants to be someone's ghost?

I dunno, Ten had a complicated three seasons and I like bits of them but overall, I can always say I liked Nine's more, it felt like he did "more" than Ten did. Though I'd say things got even more out of hand with Eleven, since he had more antics to enjoy...Nine and Rose are still a strong OTP of mine cause damn...*sighs and shakes head* I think after them, I'd say Ten couldn't bring himself to love someone for a while and then Eleven has Amy and Rory and then River...and ick. River...I can't see Rose approving of the Doctor being with River Song but eh, you're not there yet and I have known people to just stop after Ten. All in good time, I suppose...

I've only seen bits of Old Who. I can't say comparing them to one another is wise. I mean graphics will be different of course, and there is a jump from Old to New in terms of the whole Time War issue. I know everyone loves the Third and Fourth Doctor, I'd say start there?
