Four was my doctor-- I began watching during Four's run, and it was because he was so unpredictable and funny that I kept tuning in, despite the fact the local stations didn't run the stories in order. I was lost, but still enjoyed it due to Tom Baker. I agree about Sarah. I loved Sarah, Harry, and the doctor as a team. RTD said "Genesis of the Daleks" was the first strike in the Time War (the Time Lords started messing with the timelines first). I really loved that episode, and the doctor I saw there was the same doctor I see in NuWho. It does mean a lot more when you know he ended up destroying both races (well, almost for the Daleks) in the time war. But depsite questioning whether he had the right in Genesis, he was on his way back to actually do the deed when the Dalek set off the charge by accident-- so he does have it in him. I never felt it was OOC for the doctor to do what he did in the Time War. think Genesis might be the episode that best defines the doctor as a character (in any incarnation).
In Four, you could really see both his lighter and darker sides. He could be wonderful and he could be ruthless and he could be feeling and he could be clueless... all rather like he is in NuWho.
