I feel like an official member of the Doctor Who community now.
The general flow of tonight's conversation.
J: I don't understand why I should watch TV.
Me: Well, it makes good discussion topics.
A: Yeah, the current conversation at my office is Duck Dynasty, Walking Dead... ummm what else...
J: I mostly watch basketball.
Me: *thinking about the previous discussion on the TARDIS trash can* Also, if you get a really well-written episode, it sticks with you, and you think about it.
J: I watched Duck Dynasty with my mom.
Me: That's not one of those shows.
A: Yes, creative shows to affect your own creativity.
Me: Like Doctor Who!
A: I'm not quite caught up, but from what I've seen, yes!
Me: Have you seen the episodes with the Silence?!
A: No, not yet!
Me: So creepy!
A: There's a lot of creepy stuff on that show! ...Who's your favorite companion?!
....and just like that, the other two members of the group no longer existed to us and the world consisted of debating the character of the various companions (Martha and Amy and Donna are awesome, Clara not so much, and Rose is flat) and when The Doctor is at his best (when he's stumped).
