Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

Doctor Who!

1. I could never get into David Tennent's portrayal of the Doctor :ducks from the wrath of DW fans: I just always felt like he was a bit too over the top and excitable, like he was playing a performance of the Doctor, as opposed to fully being the character

2. I like both RTD and Moffat's time on DW

3. I really loved the Ninth Doctor, and I actually found his relationship with Rose a lot more obviously romantic than Ten/Rose, even though the rest of fandom seem to ship Ten/Rose far more! Yeah David and Billie were obviously closer off-set, but that just added to my feeling that Rose and the Tenth Doctor were more giggly best friend's, whereas I got a much stronger vibe from the Ninth Doctor of being romantically interested in Rose in moments like him noticing how beautiful she looks in The Unquiet Dead, or him getting nervous and looking down when they're dancing together in The Doctor Dances. Honestly I didn't really feel particularly intense feelings from the Tenth Doctor until series 3 when he was missing Rose so much, and then I started shipping them as a pairing as well, only a year after everyone else :P Rose had a more obvious crush in series 2 maybe, but I just never got an UST vibe from them in most of their scenes, more that they seemed to be having great fun together most of the time as BFF's

4. I don't know if this is still unpopular or not, but I've always loved Clara, she's one of my favourite companions so far.

5. I'm not a big fan of Rory or Danny

I WILL SHIP 9/ROSE TO HELL AND BACK! THEY WERE AMAZING!! MORE THAN I SHIP ROSE/10.

I Love Clara and I love RTD and Moffat equallt though I am still pissed over Ianto Jones!

:high_five: It just seemed like everyone became all about Rose/Ten, and dismissimg the Ninth Doctor as being more of a father figure to Rose, and it's like hello, did you see the way that he looked at her?!

And it seemed like everyone was really down on Clara for a while there, but she does seem to be getting more popular since playing opposite Peter Capaldi
