In the last few days before the S5 premiere, I just kept thinking about how the Doctor really is a Legacy Character to end all Legacy Characters. And now we have an eleventh reincarnation. ELEVEN OF THEM. And no signs of stopping! He's like this modern day myth, only less of an asshole than the likes of Odysseus.
Eleven. That just seems important to me, that this one concept and character has lived longer than most actual people on this planet. That he's still so important, and not because he's reinvented and throws off previous history, but because all that history is embraced for all its amazingness and its camp.
I loooooove it aaaaah.
