There's got to be a reason this series is still around 40+ years since its beginnings and I think it is because people can relate to the Dr's enthusiasm for the human species + his relationships with his "companions" + some of its iconic villains were clearly the prototypes for Lucas/Speilberg, et al. in their own sci-fi movies (e.g. Daleks = R2D2; Cybermen = C3PO, etc.). Admittedly, I'm a Janie-Come-Lately to this wonderful series, but I really think this 10th Doctor RULES! Alas, the series is going on a bit of hiatus during 2009 (only 5 new episodes), but promises to return in 2010...so, something to live for!!
