"Doctor Who?" was always more of a "Doctor Why?" for me - I thought the premise was fairly hokey, and didn't ever give much thought to actually watching the series. Add to that my annoying friends always talking about it and telling me that it would change my life, and you could say that I was turned off by the show.
I'm very glad that this class forced me to get at least a small education on the show for a couple reasons: First, I'm glad to have seen it, and to have seen good episodes, so that I can appreciate the obsession that fans feel for the series. Second (and more importantly), I can now give an accurate representation of how I actually feel about the show when discussions start.
I'm not, by any means, obsessed. The premise still seems a little hokey and, as stated in earlier posts, it seems more fantasy than science fiction. But it's a good show, with some great writing - and most importantly, it's different. Which makes it refreshing.
I'm glad most of all that in the future, when people talk about the TARDIS and mention some doctor, I won't have to say "Doctor Who?"
