The whole end of the season / Finale Week era got me thinking, and...
Fandom is certainly a slippery slope, my friends.
Raligh’s Journey to the Darkside:
Circa-1985 I can recall occasionally watching Mr. Rogers and/or reruns of Lassie in the afternoons. This was pretty much the extent of my (very-limited) childhood television viewing experience

Yay for "Doctor Who"!

Yes, after putting this post together I totally felt shiftless and guilty and decided I ought to follow it up with like, a timeline of my career path changes and/or my weightloss journey, etc just to make myself feel more productive and purposeful.
But that's not NEARLY as fun.

(I do these self-imposed hiatuses. I'm not sure why. It only took me a week to get over S1 (NINE!!!) and move on to S2 (And, okay, so I totally love Ten TOO!), but I've let it be much, much longer for S3.
I don't know if that's a Rose-withdrawal thing or a overload-on-Doctor-Who-by-viewing-both-seasons-AND-Torchwood-within-a-two-week-period-of-first-exposure thing, or maybe a these-S3-episodes-are-still-currently-and-if-I-start-in-on-them-right-away-I'm-going-to-quickly-come-to-a-point-where-there-ARE-no-more-available-and-I-don't-know-if-I-can-handle-that thing.
I have lots of things.)

Yep. I think my totally embarrassing fangirl AIM name is in my LJ profile. I'm currently on a good deal of the day.
I've been enjoying season three and am not at all hung up about Rose. I think that's due to my status as a long time lover of Old Who, which means I'm 1) used to companions leaving and 2) not very invested in Rose/Doctor as a romance. They were sweet together but I can't buy her has his soulmate. She was more just what he needed at the time. The last episode of season three is scheduled to air on the 30th.
And don't get too upset about not having new shows... contrary to how it seems sometimes, I think there are quite a few high quality shows out there. It sounds like you might be someone who would enjoy Farscape.

2) "Real" Doctor? I'm not one of those who feels the old is anymore real than the new, but my favorite doctor of all time is #7. Which is apparently not a common thing in the general fandom. Despite following the show since I was... eleven? I was never involved in it's online fandom or even fanzines or anything. At this point, I still get most of my DW fandom info from kammgirl, though I have posted a bit over at TWoP ( ... )
