Eleventh Doctor Day

[Australis]

So, I see the kids over on FB are having an Eleventh Doctor Day (11/11/11 of course).

Do a search, knock yourself out, have fun.

I think I'll watch "The Eleventh Hour" at 11 AM that day.

...Yeah, I'm a nerd.

 

[Starkers]

You know I love Doctor Who and all, but I'll be thinking about other things on the 11th, particularly at 11am!

Like setting all your clocks to 0:00:00 on 11/11/11?

 

[Starkers]

No not that...

 

[Anachronus]

Nothing like trivializing a date.

Did John Barrowman read your post, and ring you up?

 

[Starkers]

ha ha, no that's not the case (and to be honest I'd have to turn him down cos really Karen G should get first dibs...)

Tease

It would be interesting if the Eleventh Doctor died on this day.

Nothing like trivializing a date.

Or what the holiday of the date actually stands for.

To be fair, I think most folks have already observed the solemnity of Remembrance/Veterans Day, giving the occasion and its heroes their due.

In the mean time, it is good to keep up good spirits as well:

11-11-11 is actually Spinal Tap Day. Sorry Doctor.

 

[JRoss]

And this version has yet to do anything deserving an entire day.

 

[captcalhoun]

saved the universe twice?

 

[JRoss]

In-universe there is that. I'm talking about in fandom.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Fandom, or just for you personally?

 

[JRoss]

Nobody in my group of friends who are fans (roughly a dozen) has much love for Eleven. He started out great, but we're seeing the same thing over and over again. Kind of like the Johnny Depp of Doctor Who.

 

[Neroon]

Well that's understandable, as we all tend to hang with folks who have similar views to our own. I kinda have an eclectic mix of Whovian viewers. They range from thoroughly disliking 11 all the way through thoroughly loving him. Some are "old school" fans and some (like my self) came in with the regenerated show. Everyone's learned to accept the different interpretations, storytelling techniques, etc while maintaining their personal preferences.

 

[JRoss]

I understand that, Neroon, and I agree with you. But I tend to actually have a different POV than all of my friends, yet none of them like the new Doctor anymore either.
