You mean you don't want to start watching a show that could theoretically run indefinitely because it may never have a definitive ending? I suppose that is a concern, but if you ever wanted to start, the longer you wait, the longer it will take to catch up.

[merryghoul]

If you're only watching the new series, it shouldn't take but a few weeks to catch up to the current story line. There's only seven series thus far, but it's not like the 22-24 episode broadcast television seasons found in the US. If you want to watch Classic Who and/or do tie-in materials (audiobooks, books, etc.), it'll take longer. But I promise you, having seen all of Classic Who and New Who, it's not going to take you the rest of your life to catch up to this show.

[(Anonymous)]

And if anon does not believe they have time for all of it, why not set up intermediate goals instead? (Like, a season, a series, all of NU!who, Doctors 8-11 etc...)

Or you could do like my sister did when she got into X-files - after two seasons she got more picky with the stand-alone moster-of-the-week episodes and only watched particularly interesting ones, while instead focusing on episodes that added to the major story arc (the 'alien conspiracy', I believe it was? Only watched a few episodes together with her.)

[kallanda_lee]

You could just consider New Who as a separate series (because in many ways it is) and skip Classic Who. Then you're only stuck with what - 7 seasons?

[astral_android]

haha, that may actually be a valid concern. I'm kind of like you in that I have to finish every series I start, and to me the new and classic Doctor Who runs aren't different enough that I can watch one without needing to watch the other. It's been 4 years so far, and I've only just gotten to the fifth Doctor, to say nothing of the audios, books, comics, etc :/

(it's totally worth it though)

[insolentwitch]

I'm a little intimidated by it too.

[(Anonymous)]

free yourself and embrace JOY, watch things you enjoy and stop watching them when you no longer do - it's not hard, it's liberating

[(Anonymous)]

OP, if you're concerned about getting into a show and then not being able to stop watching even when it turns absolutely shit, don't even think about starting Who. It'll only break your heart.

[(Anonymous)]

And it'll break it at least twice.

[tenlittlebullets]

If you're just talking New Who, spending your entire life getting caught up is probably the last thing you should be worried about because that stuff goes down like heroin-coated candy. When I was getting into it I mainlined four seasons in two and a half weeks, and it took considerable self-restraint not to go twice that fast. (Unless what you're worried about is the temptation to spend a week doing nothing but sit in front of your computer going "just one more, one more can't hurt!" and occasionally "doo-weeeee-ooooo"ing along with the theme song, which is a valid concern.)

If you're worried about having completionism attacks over Classic Who... IDK, I have completionist tendences too, as well as a need to always watch/read things in their proper order the first time, and Classic Who broke me of both. It's not just that there's SO MUCH of it, it's that there are a bunch of serials that have been lost and will likely never be recovered--wham, just like that, you can literally never watch all the Who. Between that and the extremely muddy boundaries between canon and EU, DW is like a walking Canon Incompleteness Theorem or something. It's liberating, promise.

[archinon]

I have the same. More with films than with series, because I'm quite select with series. The only time I stopped watching was during Sweeney Todd. I just couldn't despire Alan Rickman

[archinon]

BTW- Doctor Who is worth it, even though Rose is annoying ;) Martha is cool, Donna is TEH AWESOME and Eleven kicks ass and even Amy/Rory have their merits. Please continue.

[diabolicalfiend]

It may take a long time, but you can do other things at the same time? Like watch an episode while doing the dishes, or listen to an audio while driving... etc.
