10) The Next Doctor/”Allons-y.” Two(ish) Doctors using 10′s trademark phrase while facing a cyberman/dog hybrid (or whatever that was).

9) The Christmas Invasion/ “Merry Christmas!”: Lost brand-new regenerated puppy who got the time of day right and not much else.

8) The Lazarus Experiment “No, I’m sorry. Did he say he’s going to change what it means to be human?”: 10 was all set to leave Martha behind having fulfilled the trip requirement, actually left, came back, and finally caught on to what was going on on the television.

7) The Doctor’s Daughter/”She’s my daughter” Another “a lot happens that leaves 10 disoriented” not as fun as others but still necessary.

6) Planet of the Dead/”Hello, I’m the Doctor. Happy Easter.”: Yes I included two holiday-themed intros but in this one he had candy and he was in full possession of his faculties. He came prepared. extra points.

5) Utopia/“We’re going to the End of the Universe.”: He just wanted to top off the tank but ended up having to deal with a cling-y Captain Jack he’d been trying to avoid and just nop’ed off to the end of the Universe.

4) The Impossible Planet/”You gotta what.” The face sells it, surrounded by Ood and a lot of unknowns. And they just told him they have to feed.

3) The Runaway Bride/”What?” I’m gonna repeat myself a lot but that face. Face with Donna for the first time in her bridal gown in his tardis without any warning. And he’s already being chewed out. It’s great.

2) The Fires of Pompeii/ “We’re in Pompeii, and it’s Volcano Day!” It strikes me just perfectly as both an accurate and silly statement. An “i fucked up” statement if any.

1) The Sound of Drums/”The Master and his Wife?!” is the ultimate teaser. the gulp, the incomprehension and disbelief. that face.
