Everyone else has had years to get used to this but it's all very new to me. I should perhaps take up actually watching shows when they air, but instead I tend to come to them months or even years later. I came to The Lone Gunmen and X-Files years after the fandom was dead and gone. And then there's Professionals fandom, where the show aired before I was even born... Coming into a fandom with thirty years of history was eye-opening. I guess Doctor Who has forty-something years of history, but I haven't seen any of the old stuff, really cause I wouldn't know where to start. And then there'd be more Doctors to fall in love with and then they'd die, too. :(
