Why do I subscribe to online surveys? Is it the $2.50 I might get?

No.

Do I feel that people care about my opinion on Budweiser?

No.

It’s those rare moments when I get an official survey that asks the following:

Please write a few sentences about why you are “Very Likely” to watch the new season of Doctor Who.

Oh, yeah….

My response:
I have been watching Doctor Who since 1978. I introduced my wife to the new series when it debuted. She is completely hooked. I have introduced several friends to the series. They are hooked. My toddler (born after the new series debuted) dances when the theme comes on. It’s very likely I’ll host a Series 4 debut gathering for “Partners in Crime”

I may skew your survey. To me Doctor Who is the number 1 show I seek out. Period.

I’ve posted more than once that I was a HUUUUUGE Doctor Who fan growing up.

This weekend in Britain, Elisabeth Sladen returned to the the new series to reprise her role after nearly 25 years.

I know, I know.. I cheated. I’ve been watching the 1st series on Sci-fi with shimmeringjemmy. But I’ve been waiting for this episode since it was announced mid season last year.

Wow… just wow.

Remember the brown coat from Serenity that went for sale on eBay? Well, to hell with that.

Andrei has a new desire. And he only needs 5 grand to make it come true. Yes, this is insane fandom, but at the same time… anyone who had half an interest in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” would be thinking the same thing…

Daddy want… And this time, I promise… I’d give it to my daughter as soon as she got the calling.

I present… m? The collectable.

Ooooh, anyone got $5K they could loan?

I am not Otaku…

I’m not one to go over the top on my fandom. (Much) I also am not a big clothes whore.

But I gotta be honest…

Daddy want….
