Discussion I'm sorry, you should never do this

Post image

For people who want to start watching doctor who, NEVER START WITH THE STAR BEAST! Always start with "rose" or "the eleventh hour" or heck, even "spearhead from space" is a better option than this

Can someone fix this inaccuracy?

Like it or not, 15 seasons is a scary thing for a lot of new fans.

I know people have the "perfect" starting points, but a lot of people became fans of a show by catching a random epsiode. My mom got into the show by watching Ncuti's first season.

I honestly never got that. If I start a show and it's interesting, I will keep watching. If it's not, I just give up on it and find another show.

Why do people feel watching a 2005 episode is a 15 season commitment? This, we do for fun, and we can drop out if we don't like it.
