A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I wonder if there is any corollary between the age of the characters and the wherewithal of the fans.

Not that I've noticed, no.

If there hadn't been such a clear NuWho division, yeah, I'd feel recent--and now most people aren't catching up earlier than 9, and those who make the leap don't seem to make it earlier than 4 without real completist urges--it's not like you have to watch the whole thing--it's not like you can.

Heh. To be fair, though, it's a serious pain to catch up with Old School Who pre-Tom Baker (or even post), as that which exists often exists not on streaming. I'll occasionally manage a "verify my nostalgia before purchase" event on YouTube before the Beeb takes it down, but given the hit-or-miss nature of some of the serials, I don't want to invest in something I can't watch multiple times.

Also, I tend to avoid anything with Jamie, because he annoys me and fails to die in a fire.

Hell, I'd rather watch Adric than Jamie.

On the other hand Ace is awesome. So is Leela. So was Sarah Jane.

I heart Ace so hard. And Leela.

Sarah Jane was my absolute favorite (SO glad Elisabeth Sladen made a comeback and got to feel the outpouring of admiration and affection from the fans before she passed away!). But Romana I was pretty awesome too.

Sarah Jane was too screamy for my tastes when I was young. But boy I loved the hell out of that episode--Stolen Planet?--where she confronted Davros and he remembered her. Such a lovely moment for Old School Whovians.

How could I forget Romana I?? Though Ace remains my all time favorite. Sensitive and tough as nails without being a cliche sensitive bad-ass.

NITRO 9! Ace is the bomb.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ace is the bomb.

I see what you did there

"Ace, I don't suppose you would go against my express instructions and do something so insane as to make more Nitro 9?"
"What if I had?"
"Do you have any with you?"
