Dr. Who (part Too)

[tacticslion]

Okay, so I know I'm about to revoke virtually all of my nerd liscence and that of my children and grandchildren, but I must confess: I've never seen Dr. Who. Partially it's been the fact that I don't watch much television, partially because I was never really interested - I never saw much from what little exposure I had to grab me.

That said, I've recognized it's larger impact on nerd-dom over the years, and have every once in a while read things about it, so I'm familiar with a few of the most general and unspecific of basics:

Dr. Who is a doctor of some kind (I don't know if it's medical or not) who travels through time and space (like Buckaroo Banzai!) meeting aliens and killing them having adventures in generally London-like environments exotic locales. There have been several actors over the years who've played the role of the Doctor (like a Soap Opera!), and this may or may not be [EDIT=] is totally![/EDIT] explained within continuity.

AnyhooWho, recently, it's been interesting to note a (minor) burst of Who-related references in several things I frequent, including unrelated posts within this forum from several different discussions. All of that long introduction, to bring you this and this. Also, here's a Dr. Who thread, in case anyone wants to discuss stuff about it or post other links to recent Who-related stuff. I dunno?

Note: I actually ran into it several more places recently, but I can't find 'em.

EDIT: Thanks, Smarty. Eheheh, somehow I missed it after a scan of the Media Consumption forum. My bad. Also, interesting.
