The sci-fi is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of temporal mechanics most of the plot will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also the Doctor's humanistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization - his personal philosophy draws heavily from classic trickster spirit folklore, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these plot lines, to realize that they're not just entertaining- they say something deep about TIME. As a consequence people who dislike Doctor Who truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the Tenth Doctor's existential catchphrase "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey," which itself is a cryptic reference to non-linear models of temporal flow. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those of addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Sydney Newman's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Doctor Who tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they accept Tom Baker as the objectively best Doctor (preferably with Matt Smith as second best) beforehand. Meme being referenced so nobody thinks I'm serious and wants to strangle me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had him demonstrate for my sister once. His brother gave him the subject of bubbles, and he just opened his mouth and let the hot air escape.

Well, not for fictional universes, anyway. I do occasionally go full on geek on other topics. I do enjoy going in the opposite direction, like pretending that I have too many children to remember all their names. That never gets old.

I was almost done rewatching the 4th Doctor Speaking of the 4th Doctor, I have a copy of the scarf (sadly, I did not knit it myself), and I bought a matching collar and leash set for my dog so she can cosplay as K9.

Instead of taking the test himself, I had to call out the questions with him telling me his answers. It really explained a lot. We're alike in the ways that cause friction, and we're different in the ways that cause friction. And we've been together for close to three decades. Go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syghts Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 “The Virtuoso” (ISTP-A) I'd say about 70% accurate but probably the best fit although I haven't read through all the others. This was pretty cool thanks for the link. Arya Stark, James Bond, John McClane, and Indiana Jones pretty awesome list don't mind being lumped with them :).
