No, you are actually a typical Doctor Who fan IMO

(Anonymous) 2013-06-26 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I started watching Doctor Who at the time of the 9th doctor, Christopher Eccleston and I am still blown away each time I re-watch that first season. I have not actually cared about either the 10th or the 11th doctors (well, I don't consider them to 'be' the Doctor. Not really.

I never could stand David Tenant (talk about chewing the scenery) and only the story kept me watching - RTD knows how to write, regardless of what I think about his gender politics. Then again, I give him a pass because he is a gay guy, and therefore I find it perfectly natural that his ideas would be quite different from mine, especially as they relate to women.

Matt Smith is slightly better, but the stories have gone even more over the top since RTD's exit: the only thing that kept me watching was Rory's character... Now? I welcome the announcement of a 12th doctor, I just wish they will not choose someone even younger than Matt Smith.

This fashionable trend of choosing younger and younger actors is really disturbing to me, especially with the increased sexualisation of the show - is the a word? It borders on pedophilia, IMHO (the Amy character could have passed for 14 or 15).

But I gather that for most Doctor Who fans, the real, the best doctor is always whichever was their first doctor: which means that you are a completely normal Doctor Who fan... and so am I! Hee hee hee...

And not watching the latest seasons or not being active in the fandom is a completely different matter: if Eccleston had kept playing Doctor Who, I would be an active fan, watch religiously each new episode, possibly cry at sad moments, read fanfics etc. As it is, I watch the episodes whenever I have nothing else to do and I am not part of the fandom in any active way: don't care about memorabilia, don't care about fanfiction or fanart, not part of any Doctor Who community etc. And certainly don't care whenever the character is regenerated... each episode when we are supposed to feel sad because the Doctor dies/is about to die makes me laugh, actually, it's so OTT and ridiculously done!
