If only I could do a poll...

1. Okay, I can't do a poll, because no paid account, but I'm curious...how many people who watch Doctor Who see it as a kid's show? And do your kids, assuming you have any, watch it? I'm particularly interested in the non-Brits. Because it's apparently marketed as a kid's show in Great Britain. But it isn't here. (It's shown at 9 pm here on Saturday nights. Not exactly what I think of as the prime kid-viewing hour.)

2. What is everyone watching? Anything interesting?

3.Sense8 got cancelled. Is it worth watching now that it is cancelled? Or will it irritate me because it ended on a cliff-hanger? What else on Netflix, Amazon Prime is worth checking out?

So far Bosch, Sense8, and Iron Fist have been mentioned. Anyone seen the Woody Allen/Elaine Page series?

4. Has American Gods finished yet? I'm waiting to binge watch as a 7 day trial on Starz.

Whereas for me they are very much a different tribe to my RL friends. Their outlook on pretty much everything is just different. This is part of why I don't always feel I fit in fandom.

Feel much that way myself at times, for all I stated above, I admittedly know few people outside of the DW friends or online that are interested in this stuff.

And I live in NYC.

It's why I went online -- to find people who were like-minded that enjoyed the same off-beat stuff I did. But I've never gone to a con, or really participated in fandom to the degree most have. Wrote very little fanfic for example -- mostly meta.

The only cons I've been to were some of the very small UK ones. Never more than 20-30 people, most of whom I already knew online. They were fun, but after a few times the RL differences between us were too strident so I doubt I'll go back again.

I just despise crowds and that's what conventions pretty much are -- crowds of people.
