Tom Baker!
I met him at a DW convention back 1982 (my first ever fan convention). He's really tall, and even though he had gone grey by then, he was very handsome, even to my 16-y.o. eyes.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

When it was the guy with the really freaky curly hair and ... a scarf?
A really long one, right? With stripes? I remember a guy in college whose GF knitted him an insanely long striped scarf, and he explained that it was a Dr. Who thing, and I kind of just went, "That's...nice...for you."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I remembered Dr. Who from PBS, I think, when I was growing up. When it was the guy with the really freaky curly hair and ... a scarf? But I had no idea it was still a program until people here mentioned it.
Yeah, I'm Amy. I think you people are the only people I know who watch it. Of course, you people are the majority of people I know, so.

Yesterday's spring thunderstorm has turned into today's snow storm. To the point where all county school kids were sent home at 12:30. CJ at least had a heavy coat, but had to ride/push his bike home. He is now in a hot bath trying to warm up.

This is exactly the extent of my background in Dr. Who.

Here's a pic of Tom Baker in costume.
That's the scarf the guy in college had! I'm glad I remembered it correctly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a Dr Who scarf in college. It was my mom's that she'd knit when she was in college. It was awesome.

Started the weekend after JFK's assasination on BBC, played through 1989, then was brought back in 2005 not as a reboot (like Battlestar Galactica), but as a continuation of the classic series. Oh, and there was a Fox TV-movie in 1996 that has been incorporated into the show's backstory, but it really sucked.

Because books.
Good god, Suzi. Colorado is crazy! Poor kid.
Here's a pic of Tom Baker in costume.
Yeah, that's the one. Didn't that iteration have a really woo-woo spiralling graphic in the opener, too? I know it sort of freaked me out for some reason.

This.
