I don't know what I would classify myself as really, considering I barely remember watching Slyvester McCoy, then I watched a bunch of repeats in the 90s before embracing the return of the show. In fact, that's one of the great things about Doctor Who - it doesn't matter if you're a fan of the show since the beginning, or yesterday, there are always plot points to discuss with one another. For a show that embraces change, it has done an awesome job in reinventing itself continously; the Doctor himself, his companions, the Daleks, the Cybermen, etc. Each new appearance has brought something new to the show.<br /><br />As you know we were both (as I'm sure a lot of your readers are) largely deprived of Doctor Who in our childhood. Had someone told me as a teenager in the late 90s, that I would have the show back as an adult, I don't know that I would have believed them. That I would have loved the show even more than I did being introduced to the likes of Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, both in the heydays a decade or more before my time, I'm not sure I would have laughed. But I am so glad that it happened.<br /><br />There are so many people to thank for this happening, and that includes the nuWhovians. To have embraced a show that deals with change on a regular basis, with laughs and horrors, and a Timelord continuely running from his past. We could have not got to this point - days away from the Golden Anniversary of a show - without fans both old and new.<br /><br />Great tribute! Now how many candles did you put on that cake?! ;-)Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818681260759619548noreply@blogger.com
