I saw a couple episodes of Dr. Who and liked it okay enough to watch when on but haven't made an effort to see much more of. All I know is Kylie Minogue was in one episode. But then somehow my partner and I both saw recent episodes of Torchwood and have now gone through almost the entire series even though I think the first season was pretty atrociously written. It's amazing what some attractive men making out will do to me.
You... just Strange Fandomed an actual show. A show that is like 40 years old. I. Wow.
*bows to you*
PS If you want to know anything about Doctor Who ever, my husband knows all. He has watched the show since literally the day he was born. (His mother's roommate in the hospital watched it to distract herself from the agony of childbirth. True story.) Also, he reads the books and listens to the audio dramas and reads the comics. He's possibly as big a fan as you could be and not be British.
hahaha, well, to be fair, I could Strange Fandom a lot of random shows...I could probably Strange Fandom bandom at this point, if I cared to. Oh livejournal, you open so many horrifying doors.
Also that is an amazing Dr. Who encyclopedia you're married to! I will definitely pester him-via-you if I ever get confused about shit. Although these days, I just coast and rely on Wikipedia to incorrectly inform me about everything. :)
Oh BANDOM. I think in that case the Stranger would be more coherent than the Grok. Except that it's real people. Wait, is it real people? I just realized that I never actually figured that out.
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki, but you didn't get it from me. And if you ever are curious, the book written by Russell T Davies about the production of series 4 is a fascinating read. I don't usually go for behind-the-scenes stuff unless it's hilarious or Joss or both, but this one is quite brilliant (also hilarious). Of course it's from the writer's perspective, but it has a lot about production and the little things that go into being a show runner.
The Daleks are scary because you're supposed to see them for the first time when you're six years old, at which point you're scared enough to shit OTHER PEOPLE'S pants, and you just never recover.
IT IS JUST. IT JUST IS. I love ALL THREE of the main characters. And it is interesting, and moves quickly without being too breezy about the angst, and is REALLY ADORABLE AND FUNNY.
Start at the beginning, watch like, the first 2 episodes. Also dude, it is only 6 episodes long, you can knock that shit out easy peasy.
