So even though I was sitting on the couch watching Genesis of the Daleks for the entire afternoon, I felt like I was being productive.I am aware that it's a gaping hole in my geek cred, and I'm ashamed to admit that I've never watched much Dr. Who. I mean, I'd seen a little bit here and there, but certainly not enough to tell you which Doctor I liked the most, or why the Timelords are cool -- in fact, I still can't -- but when I got about halfway through this DVD, I said, out loud, "Where have you been all my life?"
While I don't think I would have liked Dr. Who as much as I liked The Prisoner when I was a teen (the time I was most likely to have discovered it, because my friend Guy had a knack for introducing me to awesome British television) I'm thrilled that I chose to seriously begin my travels with the Doctor at this time and in this way. Once I get these writing deadlines behind me, I think I'll go back to Robot, which is the first appearance of Tom Baker as the Doctor, and make my way forward a bit.
