See? I do know that you feel that way about Ten, but I didn't see that at all in S2. I will admit that you were seeing him more clearly than I did when it came to the "dark heart" of him. But then, I saw the "dark heart" in Nine, too. I tend to believe that was intended to have come out of the Time War and had nothing to do with the manifestation.
But, beyond that idea of "Who do you like best?", what happened to create Ten2 is totally different from what happened to create Ten. Ten2 could have been Eleven. And I wanted him to be Eleven very much...I still believe that would have been the easiest way to solve the dilemma that RTD created. I also think he created that dilemma because he's male...and truly doesn't understand that people are not interchangable...that you can't do what you are suggesting and cherry pick the parts you like. But, all of that said, Ten2 is NOT a product of a regeneration. That is a completely different process and despite Ten whining about it being "another man walks away" that isn't what we are expected to take out of a regeneration. We are supposed to believe that Eleven is the same man that just regenerated from BrownTen.
As for Rose/Ten vs. Rose/Nine...I would say that Rose definitely liked Ten's parts better than Nine's. The relationship deepened and grew more intense. And given that...well...we have to look at cherry picking ala RTD. And your "Weak Tea" titles made me LOL, because my Ten2/Rose story is called, "Something Borrowed." We are basically following the same thought process on RTD's POV...so then...we must look at what parts went on with the version of Ten that we all watched in the Specials...and extrapolate what parts were "borrowed" by Ten2.
