I watched Doctor Who!
The years of endless threads and podcast shoutouts finally beat me down. While flipping channels last night, I landed on the encore of the new Who episode "Hide" on BBC America. I missed the first 5 minutes or so, but still, it was probably the longest exposure to Who I ever had. I recall seeing bits and pieces on our local PBS station as a kid, but it was only aired sporadically, so there was really no point in even trying to get into it.
I have to say...I liked it! I knew enough about the concept from all the fore-mentioned threads, podcasts, and magazine articles I've read over the years to have a basic understanding of what was going on.
I felt the story was quite a clever twist on the old haunted house trope. Matt Smith seems sufficiently odd to be an immortal being, although my wife was weirded out by his near lack of eyebrows.
I think I'll give it another shot next week.
You win Brian!
