beccaelizabethI think I have just realised one reason that I can watch Doctor Who and stay watching Doctor Who for a very long time.
I was trying to think of a theme group to watch Doctor Who in. Like, vampire shows are a theme. Spaceship shows are a theme. Military shows. But Doctor Who is either none of the themes or all of them.
Like, you can pick episodes that are military spaceships (half of UNIT era), or vampire spaceships (that one where the ship was a stake), or probably military vampire spaceships (Fenris? it wasn't very spaceship though.) If you feel like a themed viewing you can pick Evil Robot Doubles and watch a whole bunch of them. Or you can watch them in order and have All The Themes Ever.
So there is nothing quite like Doctor Who, but Doctor Who is like all the things. Only with extra added goodness. Usually in the form of intelligent women who help save the Doctor and the worlds.
Is there anything else that is like that? Not necessarily like Doctor Who, but like All The Themes?
Stargate had a go. Hence 200 episodes.
If I was going to do something useful for my dissertation I could watch a bunch of Doctor Who and count who is in it.
... why is it I forgot that making anything For College makes it automatically a bunch less fun?
