friend, i am glad you've discovered doctor who and are loving it so far. in some ways, you are lucky to be coming in with the newest regenerated doctor eleven, because you don't have to deal with the heartbreak of getting to know and love one just to have them change. and yet, you are totally missing out as well, because that's part of what makes the doctor--his past incarnations, companions, and adventures.
so don't think that you, the new viewer, are the reason this show keeps going. and that you are the best because you are fresh to it and discovering baddies and goodies and other things for the first time that we've known for years. you are not the reason this show keeps going. i am.
me and millions of people who have been following the doctor through time and space for all our lives are. those of us who grew up fearing the daleks and cybermen, who know the quirks and outfits of all eleven, who have gotten every silly pop-culture reference that pops up in random places all the time. we're the ones who know and love the doctor, and who keep him alive. us.
not you.
welcome to the family, though. just realise that you are the baby, and you have a lot to learn. and when this doctor finally regenerates, you'll understand a little more. but until then, enjoy the show and shut your trap.
