I started watching the new Doctor Who about 4 years ago when I learned that my young (10 years old) cousin was obsessed with it. Up to then I'd only seen a couple of episodes here and there, and I'd wanted to see it, but I live in the US and it rarely showed up on TV and it was always randomly out of order, so eh, didn't bother much.
After talking with my cousin, though, I decided to seek it out online, via torrents, and watch it from the beginning.. The second episode was what hooked me forever. I watch it with my best friend all the time now, and we've been eagerly waiting for the new season to start already!
