In other news, my Doctor Who-hating friend Laura has made a friend from Britain, who is forcing her to watch it. Although she's still a little snarky about it, Laura has admitted to me that she thinks K9 is cute and likes Sarah Jane (it was School Reunion that she watched). Being a Buffy fan, she also likes Mr Finch. Let fandom ring!

surely no one can resist the awesome that is k-9. he is made of badass, possibly at the molecular level.

[melengro]

Rather like the awesome that is cybermats, then?

[darchildre]

exactly! except that k-9 will just shoot you instead of trying to eat your face.

(also, k-9 is, y'know, at least vaguely effective at what he does.)

THEY DON'T EAT YOUR FACE, THEY BITE YOU IN THE NECK!

How comes other people can force their Doctor Who hating friends to watch it?

Is it me, is it my friends, or is it a combination of the two?

*sulks*

[melengro]

Maybe they're more adamant about it than Laura was?

[agapi42]

Maybe.

Natalie will cut off any conversation remotely approaching it with 'Oh, not that bloody Dr.(I swear you can hear the abbreviation in her speech) Who! It's crap!' 'It's not!' 'Yes, it is.' 'No, it's not.' 'It is.' 'It's not.'

And Classic Series Hater Hayley will agree to watch the first fifteen minutes of the first episode of The Romans on the condition I SHUT UP FOREVER AND EVER, Amen and somehow find it terribly, horribly boring.
And then deny Ian/Barbara while I gape and try to express that it's The Romans, ffs, The bloody Romans and did she actually pay it any attention at all or has RTD's Doctor Who ruined her for appreciating anything less than explicit text and yay for subtext!

I am now sulking about my lack of real-life friends who like Classic Who and are prepared to watch and/or discuss it with me and will now run back to my Key to Time boxset.

The abbreviation is the work of the Devil, I feel
