I'm with you on the Circle of Life thing. I hit a point where if I squinted my mind just right, they all look like The Doctor from inside my head, like a crystal flashing different facets. I held that jewel for a few months, just pondering it in perfect balance, before I started letting myself have favorites again. Just because he's all the same person doesn't mean I can't like him better when he's got the smoking jacket and the James Bond car.
I have been enjoying Tennant awfully much, though. The look on his face when he saw Sarah Jane for the first time in centuries was when the circuit finally clicked between new and old series for me. I honestly burst into tears at the enormity. I'd been thinking of him as A Doctor, and a perfectly good one, but not The Doctor, and closing that circuit was so intensely wonderful it almost hurt.
(Oh dear. I was never up on fan stuff outside the show back in the old days, so I didn't know this about Mr. Baker the Second. I am retroactively very sorry to hear that. It must have been a terribly strange community experience.)
