I like it. but I’m biased.
I was so thrilled when Doctor Who came back after 15 years, I decided from the first episode with eccleson that I would not be sour grapes, no matter how good or bad it was.
Superstitious? of course
But I took Doctor Who for granted during the curly blonde haired guy. I was a teenager and I got less and less enthusiastic.
They modified the theme. That doctor was cranky and irritable and I hated it. And each episode I would get more and more angry.
When there was a big hiatus of Doctor Who during his term – that’s when they made the production “doctor in distress” – I almost gave up all together.
I’ve missed most of trial of a time lord and never caught all of it.
I know I didn’t see all the episodes of six and seven
I let myself get so bitter at the time that I can’t watch them.
But I never expected them to take Doctor Who off the air.
So I vowed I would not take it for granted again if it ever came back
It’s a kind of vow only a teenager could make.
But at the time I was the only Doctor Who fan I knew. My grandmother introduced me to it but nobody in New Jersey knew what Doctor Who was that I knew just some Princeton weirdos that dressed up in Doctor Who costumes to raise money for the PBS station.
I didn’t want to be that “crabby old man” as a teenager when I got older
I decided at 17 I would enjoy it like an 8-year-old every time because that’s who it’s written for, not for crabby teenagers – or crabby middle-aged men
I was 32 years old when it came back on the air and I decided I would keep my vow.
(That Doctor Who movie in 1996 … That disappointed me even more deeply – I can’t rewatch that either)
