The first change of Doctor was like totally minor to me.

i was definitely into who enough to be concerned about whether i would like tennant as much as eccleston, but also not into it enough to be actually worried. i figured they would cast someone who would be fairly good, no matter what, and even if i didn't like him as much he would still be fine. which... is what i still think now, actually. hmm. but! if it's someone i LOVE i will be so much more happy than i would have been last time. and i don't have any doctors i actually loathe, so i figure the worst that will happen is that i will be a bit "meh". and there is fic to fix that. i even like jack sometimes in fic.

I was interested in the show, but the DVDs cost too fricking much and I didn't have enough hard drive space to download episodes on my old computer.

downloading! back when i was a lad we had to request VHS tapes from the public library, and sometimes they were on the other side of town! actually, back when i was a lad i had no doctor who at all. :( but when i was a young adult there was BBC america playing old who every morning at 8:00 am. well, for the few months we had digital cable. then later was the chicago public library system! the cover for paradise towers was always too fantastically bad for me to take it out. i still haven't seen it.

I stumbled upon it in Wikipedia at random one day and I was all, oh, hey, isn't that the guy they've got to play Barty Crouch?

so was i! that didn't really convince me it was the best casting ever, since he was a bit... bad in it.
