A little more on Doctor Who...

riotheclownI realized that I hate change and since Tom Baker I have not welcomed each new incarnation of Dr. Who with anything but sceptism and even racor. Yes, I am a bitch like that.
But I also realize that each has grown on me because Doctor Who is the best, period. Unlike another cannon which has been taken over by the Hollywood re-boot thrill ride money maker, it is still lovingly gripped by the questions of humanity, even when played out in alien skins. It doesn't mind coming in close and small to explore them. This is how it kept us satisfied back in the days of cardboard sets and wonky Daleks and now in the days of vengeful gunner robot cowboys and special effects. It doesn't pretend to have the corner on the truth, but it stays in the neighbourhood. The effort is encased in who Doctor Who is. For this reason, regardless of whether this Doctor is our romantic ideal or our joke cracking best friend, every one is the best Doctor.
Ask me again!
Doctor who?
I never realized how much I enjoyed hearing it said like that.
