Doctor Who

Celadon's Penultimate

So, as it turns out, I'm a really huge fan of New Who, the recent line of Doctor Who episodes, which started off back in 2005 with the Ninth Doctor (played by Chris Eccleston). Since then, the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant), the Eleventh (Matt Smith), the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and all of their companions along the way have been a great boatload of fun, from start to finish. I've never seen Classic Who, but I'm a fan of the old Twilight Zone episodes, so I have a feeling that I will like the old episodes, too, once I finally get around to seeing them.

Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Silurians, I just can't get enough of the raw sci-fi-osity of it all. It's good fun, with a strong spirit, a sharp wit, and a slowly-but-surely-developing deeper inner meaning throughout the entire course of its progression. The show itself is morphing, changing, regenerating in astonishing bursts just like a Time Lord, promising always to have some new and intriguing trick up its sleeve. I got to see the 50th anniversary, and hopefully I'll be around for its 100th.

But enough about me. Have we got any other fellow Whovians, Whooligans and *ahem* "Dweeks" in our midst?

Dweeks? Really?
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

So, it has come to my attention that guys who are not into Dr Who are something of an oddity in this forum. So, I guess that makes me special. I do not like Dr Who. Like, at all.

How?

Honestly, how? I want to know. What about it do you object to?

Well, the thing is, it not popular over here, so the early exposure a lot of people have did not really happen to me. I tried watching it once when I had nothing better to do, but I just saw vacuum cleaners rolling menacingly and I could not take any of it seriously.

 Don't look at me. I didn't come up with it. Some bubblebrain decided that being a Whovian and a being a Gleek were similar enough that you could combine the two. It hasn't stuck, but eh, whaddya gonna do?

You took a work of fiction seriously?

Sorry, that sounded harsher than I intended. Its just that, Dr. Who is, at its core, fairly whimsical. You can't really appreciate it if you scrutinize it. You just gotta go with it.

Like every cult classic ever.

I actually wasn't exposed to it early at all. I literally started watching late last year when I was 22. I'm 23. Are you just not a fan of science fiction? Cause, if not, then I could see how an immortal time-and-space-traveling alien might be off-putting to you.

That's the exact attitude one should have when watching Who. It's pretty much the softess of sci-fi.

 Are you guys as excited for the Christmas special as I am?

I saw all the episodes of the latest season online. It is the first full season I have watched.

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

You ought to go back. You missed a good lot, and you'll want to know ALL OF THE THINGS.

I do know such things.

I have, in the past, merely read about most of the episodes online. I have read deep into the old Who as well.
