I mean, I've had my issues with certain episodes and stories etc, but I mostly think of DW as My Show, and I love it and I feel things when I think about it (eg. S2 = wonderful and flirty and happy, S3 = sad and confronting, S4 = joyous and moving and ROSE), which I would love all the other shows I watch to do half as well. Because, if you could say one thing about Doctor Who, it's that it, 95% of the time, gets you to feel something, even if it's hatred for a character/story/whatever. Also, rarely is anything black and white - bad guys have dark and light, good guys have foibles and make mistakes, everything happens for a reason (or 20), etc.
Exactly. It's complicated and the people are complicated and they feel real and worth caring about.
And... aw... that's just how each series makes me feel, too.
Wait, what is my point? I'm not actually sure, anymore! I guess it's just... I love what RTD and David and everyone has created, and I will most definitely sob my eyes out in David's last episode, and I'm glad that on that fateful day, about two-and-a-bit years ago now, my mother suggested I watch this 'crazy little sci-fi show' called Doctor Who.
Oh, yes. Epic tears. I'm so very glad that I picked this show up. It's been crazy, but wonderful. Nothing else quite like it.
