Oh gosh, you're welcome/I'm sorry for unleashing these feels. THEY ARE THE WORST FEELS. I have seen Handlebars many times and it's just about perfect for explaining my Ten rage. (ffffuck youuuuuuu Ten). FWIW, Nine really does hold up on rewatch and his series is lovely! Also is, for the most part, Eleven's first series, S5. Like, as much as I love and adore Nine and Rose, Eleven is really ~my doctor~ and Amy is the absolute best girl in the world. Plus it ends very well! But the seeds are planted there and then S6 IS A NIGHTMARE HARVEST OF AGENCY DENIAL AND RETCONS AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATION NOOOOO.

The slash factor would have been off the charts easy and people are into that, I thought.

Well, yes, fandom at large is I'm sure. But I am the most aggressive filterer of fannish stupidity and general yay-white-cock slash culture that I know, so the only people I ever bother with are similarly femcentric SJ types and it is to them (my comrades!) I address this.
