*hugs* Me too, anon, me too.

But I'll probably end up being the crotchety old bitch that yells, "Get off my lawn!" at everyone.

This describes a huge portion of what made me fall in love with nu!Who when I first checked out the show. It's such an unusual thing for shows to focus on nowadays - so many sci-fi shows are usually all about the ~cool important plots~ and constant focus on internal arcs, no focus and importance placed on scenes of the main characters just stopping and glorying in the amazingness of everything and making a big deal over it to other characters and the audience, as though it's really, truly important.

(It's also something I really, really love about the Hartnell era - that just the things they see and situations they come up with are fascinating enough for the characters to spend a whole episode mainly just being amazed at it).

+1000000000 :)

(Also, can I mention how much I love that huge crazy smile of his in the bg pic?)

[kallanda_lee]

I approve of this secret!

Sad thing is, all of the people around you turn into old grumps. Maybe that's why the Doctor is constantly on the move.

[(Anonymous)]

I beg your pardon! I see your old grumps and raise you a Jo Grant-Jones. :)

[kallanda_lee]

Is she a grump, though, really? I think my issue with getting older is that you're more frequently surrounded by people who suck the joy out of things. It's not numerical age - it's just that some people get it in their head they need to be "mature", or become bitter about things. I mean, looking at my parents it often feels like someone sucked the joy right out of them. It's sad, really.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I meant the opposite: she's TOTALLY not a grump :) Sorry if I misunderstood your comment!

[kallanda_lee]

Maybe I misunderstood! I fully applaud old people still being excited about things, and I wouldn't call them grumps. It's the whole becoming bitter and giving up (even before your time) that saddens me!

You seriously need new friend. Both my grandparents lived into their 80s and right up till the last few years of their lives, they were FIERCE and did stuff that those 1/2 their age wouldn't even have dared.

In 2010 Madonna Buder finished the Ironman Triathlon when she was 80 years old. I'm twenty-mumblemumble and if I tried to do that I'd probably die two steps in.

[kallanda_lee]

Working on it. Also I didn't say all of these people were my friends. Sometimes i had to interact with people professionally, or in a hobby-related setting, and I was horrified to learn they were my age or actually younger than me.

[writerserenyty]

That's actually probably the biggest thing I've gotten from the show. Really good stuff.

[omorka]

I agree, and it's one of the most consistent of the Doctor's character traits - even when One was being all old and grumpy or when Seven was doing his cool and calculating persona or when Nine was traumatized into Time Lord PTSD or when Six was angry at every damn thing, he was *still* incapable of seeing something awesome and not marveling at it. Even if I think some incarnations of the Doctor (I'm looking at you, Two and Eleven) played it up a bit much, it's always been something incredibly endearing about him.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, Eleven? I'm curious to know more about this opinion, because I don't see Eleven playing it up much? I was actually kind of disappointed that he seemed to lose a lot of his wonder in the gap between season 5 and 6, for some reason. I always thought Two and Ten were the most vocally *omg everything is so wonderful!!* incarnations.

Which kinda made sense, since Two was the first time he had regenerated - literally had a new lease on life and was looking at his travels with new eyes and some measure of youth and vigor for the first time since he left Gallifrey. And Ten was going through almost the same experience as Two all over again, although his reawakening was from coming out of the war (also, IMO, Ten laid it on a bit thick intentionally, to compensate for his PTSD and loneliness).
