My introduction to Doctor Who was interesting. I watched some of the classic series growing up, but I was exceptionally young and it became this esoteric thing in my mind that I never could really place. Then I marathoned the first season of NuWho with a friend a few years after it came out. I was not impressed with "Rose." I've come around on that pilot by now, but i didn't like any of it until "Dalek." THAT episode hooked me. I believe what kept me watching at the time was, as a budding actor, I was just so enamored by Christopher Eccleston's performance. The character of the Doctor was so new and fresh to me. As a pacifist at the time too, i knew this show was wholly for me with the "coward, any day" line and delivery.
