Personally, the idea of hating one of the Doctors makes absolutely no frickin' sense to me because I don't view them as separate characters at all (yes, I like every single Doctor, really, can't even pick a favorite incarnation -- if I had to pick, my favorite is always "the one I saw most recently"). So I see every incarnation in the context of the entire history of the character, and my brain processes it as "different stage of his character arc" rather than "different person".

I suppose it's technically possible for them to cast an actor I can't stand or write him in a way that does nothing for me....but it hasn't happened yet and even if it did, it would be "I don't enjoy watching him" rather than "I don't like him". Is that a weird approach to the character?

It's not a weird approach to the character. There are plenty of people who look at the Doctor like that, but I'm not one of them.

This is how I used to feel.

Until Eleven. I seriously can't even connect him to the Doctor. It does not work in my mind.

I thought this before I saw any of Eleven's episodes. I had only seen pictures and tumblr gifs and read bits and pieces on tvtropes and stuff so I was *trying* to keep and open mind...but inside I was going "no way I just can't there's no way I could ever feel like he's the Doctor! I just can't wrap my mind around it! Maybe I'll be able to *tolerate* him..."

And then about two minute into "The Eleventh Hour" I was going "OH LOL WHOOPS SORRY LEMME TAKE THAT BACK" because WOW I was head over heels in love pretty much immediately, despite eye-rolling a good fifteen times throughout the episode at Moffat's general gender-fail and scariness try-hardism.

Should've seen it coming, since I had the exact same "no wai I can't possibly accept him!" followed by near-immediate "lol totes lovestruck!" reaction when I first saw one of Ten's episodes after only seeing Nine before.

So....maybe it's just a lightbulb thing? A Doctor has to kind of click into place firmly in your head to like him, and if something stops it (like, say, Moffat's goddamn writing), it's just very difficult to overcome because you keep comparing that incarnation to all the other incarnations...
