You know what I miss?
Doctor Who. I miss being excited about Doctor Who.
I miss looking forward to streaming the show every week. I miss being excited for the Christmas special. I miss the cliffhangers and the recurring characters and the personalities of the individual doctors.
I just saw an ad for the new series in September and I literally thought “meh.”
I remember a time where you’d see nothing but the show on your dash, and all the posts had 10,000+ notes because literally everyone loved it and got excited about it.
I think the idea of fandom lost traction everywhere around the same time the show started doing plot circles, so people lost interest and it died a slow, agonizing death.
I didn’t ever think it would get here, but it has, and somewhere it makes me sad.
