*facehands* "I love the guilt, the rage, the shame, the loneliness" is just about the pithiest possible summary of my overinvestment in Ten (and to a lesser extent Nine and Eleven). RTD Who is like feelings heroin.

However! I am also a huge fan of the Classic Who I've seen, albeit in a rather more laid-back way. I'd recommend at least giving it a try; it doesn't push the same buttons for me that New Who does, but a lot of the elements that I already liked as a secondary part of some New Who episodes are much more central to my enjoyment of Classic Who, if that makes sense. For example, I tend to be fond of the "base under siege" style episodes in the new series, independent of the characterization and/or feelings heroin going on, because they're more likely to be based around really cool concepts--The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, 42, Waters of Mars, The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People, plus stuff like Midnight and The God Complex. And in Classic Who, okay fine, the angst porn is mostly gone, but the concept porn is incredible and usually it's what drives the serial. (As a sillier example, possibly my favorite subset of "angst porn" is "Ten getting smacked around and leered at by the Master," which Classic Who does even more deliciously.)

Anyway, if you're ever curious about how Classic Who does "dark," I second the recommendation for Seven and Ace (particularly their last season--zomg Curse of Fenric), and would also add Genesis of the Daleks and maybe The Keeper of Traken/Logopolis/Castrovalva. The latter is mostly personal preference, but said preference somehow feels related to my love for Ten, and also End of Time is totally Logopolis redux. ;)

With Rassilon, who was being played by Timothy Dalton. (Just having Rassilon was epic enough. Getting in Dalton to play him was ten kinds of epic and cool rolled into one saliva-spitting ball of cool.)
