[Doctor Who] David Tennant's Hair in the 50th

Here we have my theory collection about David Tennant's hair in Day of the Doctor: proving one theory false, showing my theory, and making up a crack one at the bottom for light laughs.


Tennant's Hair in The Day of the Doctor
Reflecting Mood?

This one is one that I came up with on my own sitting around thinking about the mystery of his hair.

First let's go through the expressions displayed here.




Can anyone see the story?  No? Okay here it goes!

In the 1st picture from the Waters of Mars we see three immediate expressions in his face.  1.  Terror.  2.  Guilt and 3.  Sadness.  All at the same time as the weight of what he has done comes crashing down on his head
This is wrong, Doctor! I don't care who you are! The Time Lord victorious is wrong!
Then you see him basically have an emotional breakdown as he sees Ood Sigma and thinks that this could be the end.  All that we know of The 10th Doctor is gone in this part.  He is, in a few words: deflated, lost, confused, and sad.  Then we see him rise up more towards the end of this episode when, after hearing the cloister bell, he says 'no' and pulls a lever.

Next time we see him chronologically is with Queen Elizabeth the 1st, having a picnic with the nearby Zygon horse.  He looks a bit better but his eyes are still sad, as seen through the whole episode.  His hair is flat and he seems to have lost his spirit.  Trying to joke around with the other Doctors and yet easily falling down into despair.  He ends this episode with the most story-arced last words ever heard on Doctor Who.
We need a new destination, because... I don't wanna go.
Now fast forward!

The Doctor arrives on the Ood planet and begins to talk and joke with Ood Sigma.  He is obviously much happier, maybe a side effect from subconsciously knowing his people are safe, and talks about Elizabeth the 1st.  Ood Sigma, however, fails to see anything funny and leads The Doctor to a cave, where The Doctor finds out that The Master has returned, or is attempting too.  Given a reason to fight again he rushes to the T.A.R.D.I.S. with renewed energy.  The rest of the episode, until the very end, you would never believe that this was the same person who was so broken in the last two episodes before.

He remains this way until the end, when he has to take up the gun.  Then the despair comes back and his hair gets a mild bit wilder.  Hey, after falling through a skylight and the heightened energy he has why expect him to keep calm?  His hair remains ruffled until the regeneration.

What does this and his personality have to do with his hair being flat?  Well to sum it up:

Waters of Mars:  Good ol' Doctor 'til the end
Day of the Doctor:  Despairing at the prospect of his imminent death
The End of Time:  He has The Master back, a new cause to be around for

So basically, his hair is describing his personality at the time of the episode, or the makeup team got lazy, but leaving out effects and all that, a small mistake could easily become canon with the character.  (We have seen this before with Matt Smith -- no one wanted him to wear the bow tie, yet he insisted, and now well, let the internet memes say the rest)

So what do you think?  Think his hair could be telling us how he really feels in the 50th, or just a lazy mistake.  Either way, it's a fun theory to think about.


2nd Theory (Dimissed)
Early on in Timestream

So I saw this theory somewhere and thought it was interesting to look into, so here is me looking into it.

So, what if instead of between The Waters of Mars and The End of Time this happened earlier on in The Doctor's time stream, for example, after losing Rose.

With Rose



After Rose (Martha, Donna, River, and The End of Time)







You can see that after losing Rose his hair becomes very ruffled up, I have also noticed that towards the end of Season 2 his hair gets a little wilder, explanation?
[Rose spots a cat while she and the Doctor are in the street]
Rose: [Kneeling down to stroke it] Aren't you a beautiful boy!
The Doctor: [Has his back to Rose and thinks that Rose is talking to him] Thanks. I've been experimenting with back-combing…  *sees Rose stroking the cat*  Oh.
Experimenting with back combing, which he apparently decided suited him as we've see him wear it in many episodes since, he wears a sightly less crazy version of this in Doomsday and The Runaway Bride, probably between the styles.

HOWEVER

In the beginning of the 50th, or at least Tennant's beginning in it, we see him with Elizabeth the 1st.  In The Shakespeare Code we see the beginning of this story arc, where he has no idea who she is.  Thus if this was earlier on in his time stream it would have had to be between The Voyage of the Damned and Partners in Crime, however since his hair is the same in both episodes and has no intention of laying flat we may dismiss this theory.  Thus most likely placing the 50th between The Waters of Mars and The End Of Time.


3rd Theory  (Crack theory!)
He's Mocking Smith (even more…)

If you look closely at the way 10's hair is styled it looks rather familiar to one of our other Doctors.


Yes it is obviously much flatter, but it almost looks like an imitation, and we already know that Tennant has joined the 'Matt's Chin Tease-wagon'  So could he have got far enough as to openly mock Matt's hair as well?


Just a note that this 3rd theory is complete theory crack that I came up with randomly after too much Google searching.  The 1st theory is the one I am trying to highlight here.

FAQ

No FAQ yet, need to find some so start asking people!!!!

Questions/Requests

Welcome to the Questions/Request page, where you may:

A.  Ask questions about either the site or any of my fandoms, or other shows just shoot me a question because who knows, I may know something about it or go watch the show to get that knowledge!

Or

B.  Request what to write a theory on, I can't catch up or keep track of all of them now can I?  Also under there is if you are having a hard time understanding the link between two things, I will try to set you down the right path.

Introduction

Hi, welcome to my personal theory blog, or idea blog just a place to throw my thought with things that I find interesting, OR, have theories upon.  So this is basically a place for me to blog all my Doctor Who, Batman, Sherlock, etc. ideas, and the random little things that I wish to share.
We're at the end of the Universe. Right at the edge of knowledge itself. And you're busy blogging!  (Doctor Who)
Sorry, had to do that, it was just too good an opportunity to pass up, anyhow *clears throat*  This introduction shall be growing with the blog so I am missing bits and pieces that I would like to add on later.  Like a site overview and so forth, but for now, why not stick with the basics?

Here  Is the Questions/Request page, where you may A.  Ask questions about either the site or any of the shows I watch, or just shows in general because I may end up watching them afterwards.  I will tell you if I do not know the answer to your question.  Or, B.  Request what to write a theory on, I can't catch up or keep track of all of them now can I?  Also under there is if you are having a hard time understanding the link between two things, I will try to set you down the right path.

Leela: So; explain to me how this, "TARDIS" is larger on the inside than the out?
The Doctor: Hmmm? Alright, I'll show you. It's because insides and outsides are not in the same dimension.  *The Doctor holds up two black cubes of differing sizes*  Which box is larger?
Leela:  *pointing to the larger of the two*  That one.
The Doctor: Alright…  *The Doctor places the larger cube on the command console, and walks over next to Leela and holds up the smaller one*  Now, which is larger?
Leela:  *incredulously, pointing at the larger cube sitting on the console* That one!
The Doctor: But it looks smaller.
Leela: Well, that's because it's further away!
The Doctor: Exactly! If you could keep that exactly that distance away, and have it here, the large one would fit inside the small one.
Leela: That's silly.
The Doctor: That's trans-dimensional engineering; a key Time Lord discovery!
 
(Again, Doctor Who!) [Wikiquote sourced from here]
And to wrap this up!  Here is the FAQ, which so far has none because no one has asked a question yet, so of course there are not a large majority of questions there at this moment though please do ask questions because I see having a FAQ as a sign of sucess.

So, go take a look around!  Tell me your opinion, be it good or bad I don't mind as long as I have it!  And most of all, have fun!  Or, as Sherlock would happily say to you: "Go entertain your puny human minds."
