Oh I dearly love Dr. Who! I was hooked with the very first episode and was overjoyed when the show was continued, even if they did start the season numbers over. :x
Love, Love, Love the show! My husband doesn't fully understand the show but he tolerates my obsession.

My wife really loves the show (I almost had to do a post on how she left me for 13 English dudes, but she came back to me once the Dr Who marathon was over ) She's got me into following the new shows now too and doesn't mind explaining things to me. The 50th anniversary special was awesome.
I really need to rewatch it. I think I missed a lot of nuances, not having been caught up on the previous eps.
And I think I missed a lot of general plot detail being wowed by the awesome space battle in 3d.
I was actually a bit disappointed that the grand Dalek attack on Gallifrey looked a bit like "mars attacks."
I mean... it's the damn time lords. Not the time barons or the time dukes. They're lords. Of time.
And they got their assess handed to them by a bunch of pepperpots in 50's style saucers right out of "attack of the saucers." While the time lords are waiving around hand weapons. And besides, couldn't they all, like, leave or something? And aren't TARDIS' virtually indestructible?
And I seem to remember there not being 2.47 billion time lords at all. Weren't there, like, a few hundred living in a tower on Gallifrey or something?

I just realized that I must live dead centre in the middle of the Australian outback, because I've never heard of this Dr. Who, and even Dave the Canadian Bowman has.

Well, I may not live in civilization, but at least I can see it from here...
I walked into the office of a fellow Dr. Who fan at work today, to be greeted by a life-size cardboard cutout of David Tenant, adorned with a Santa hat. It caught me off-guard and I actually did a little fan-girl gasp there for a second...

I went to Gallifrey One in Los Angeles with 3700~ people in February. It was a blast to meet Arthur Darvill, Billie Piper, Nicola Bryant, Paul McGann, and Colin Baker. Even better was geeking out about my favorite show with a bunch of other geeks.
Showing up at Gallifrey One makes me a super geek in the general population. Once there, I don't think I was even in the 40th percentile.

Gallifreyans are the general population. Timelords are the dudes in the tower.

I started knitting a Four scarf last night. I estimate it'll take 5 years to finish.

Tell 'em you want the printed catalog price of $172. Then ask for the 35% discount.

The same law that made it impossible for the doctor to go back and save Gallifrey or kill Davros when he was a baby or something?
