I keep thinking about how so many people say in regards to Doctor Who, so and so is "My Doctor." I don't have one, any more than I have a Bond. I'm bad at that kind of thinking, I think, like preferring to have a bunch of different friends I enjoy in different ways. I can give a list of doctors I enjoyed more than some of the others and say why, but i can't rank say 4 and Ten or 5 and 9 compared to each other. I was never any good at number ranking friends and lovers either. It's the same problem. This is not any kind of attack on people who can pick one, just an observation of why I find it personally baffling. It's one of those bits of ordinary human behavior that I have had explained to me intellectually, and can learn to anticipate, like sexual jealousy or Coulrophobia, without ever feeling on a gut level or really grasping beyond the "this is something normal people feel so there are good odds some people in my social group feel them" level.
No wonder I like my Doctors just a little bit alien.
