I'm glad us Trekkies are normal.

She looks like the type that would probably do very lewd things with the Ood's tentacles.

That's really ood.

Drew Carey has really let himself go.

I resemble resent that remark.

There was a storage rental place I used to go by all the time who had cardboard cutouts from ST : TOS all over their in door complex. Looked strange at night through the big glass windows with Spock staring out at the traffic.

This woman looks like's she's having a laugh doing this.

rocky_howard: It's a website from the UK and they don't know the character is named The Doctor, not Doctor Who?

Now I know why you guys call it the Daily FAIL.

Also they called the Ood a villain, which I'd call debatable.

Whaaaaat?

You know, for all the complaining, at various times throughout the show's history, in the end credits the lead actor was credited as playing "Doctor Who".

Yes, even in the modern run.

So, technically. they're not wrong.

rocky_howard: It's a website from the UK and they don't know the character is named The Doctor, not Doctor Who?

The British have always referred to him as "Doctor Who".

If the doors to my house looked like that, I'd do the same thing

That's a pretty impressive DIY Dalek, though.

angrymacface: rocky_howard: It's a website from the UK and they don't know the character is named The Doctor, not Doctor Who?

The British have always referred to him as "Doctor Who".

And most if not all seasons ("series" to the British) of the classic era listed the character as "Dr Who" or "Doctor Who" in the closing credits.

Having been a habitue of SF cons since the 1980s, let me state that there is
little qualitative difference between Trekkies, Whovians, Browncoats, Anime fans
or (FILL IN THE SHOW NAME).

So stop calling that kettle black.

I understand that irony is hard to convey on the internet.

The thing is, one of the defining factors for most hard-core fans (what the
Japanese call 'otaku', in the original sense of the word) is that they are
absolutely without any sense of irony. Especially with regards to their chosen
field of focus. I have, many times, seen an uber-fan of Show X slag off fans
of Show Y for no readily apparent reason that Show X is not Show Y, and is
therefore not worthy of any adulation in the eyes of the slagger.

I recognized a long time ago that I had such tendancies in me, and I have tried
mightily to overcome them and keep my tastes as universal as possible.

Yes, well, you're on Fark. The irony is presumed.

EdgeRunner:
I like to picture all Doctor Who fans as being incredibly hot twenty-something women who wear nothing except a long scarf, and they're doing something very naughty with their sonic screwdrivers.


Or dressed in a kissogram but no pants.

The credits often refer to the Doctor as Doctor Who.

Doctor who?

Doctor who????

DOCTOR WHO?!?!?

Poe's Law applies to ultrafans, too. My evidence? Slash fiction.

GAT_00: Oh no, she looks like a normal human being, and she's a fan of something! Quick, let's mock her!

Good point... She's not any weirder than anyone else out there. We all like SOMETHING a little too much...

Although I DO have to agree that the post above your about her looking like Drew Carey is pretty damn funny...
