Oh the same here. I knew nothing except that the TARDIS was bigger on the inside and that the Doctor once wore a stripy scarf. Oh and I'd heard of Daleks too, but not very much.
Again, I don't have much of a problem with Rusty's take on things, because it's interesting, but with Moffat bringing the Doctor back to what he was, suddenly things make *sense* in a way they never did before. Ten made me think of Angel and Buffy and all those issues. Eleven is... something different. A Trickster, a daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away, Space Gandalf. It's like getting a new show, which gives me things I never knew I wanted, but that I now can't imagine living without. (I have another post brewing about Ten and Eleven, but it's much more personal, and I nervously tinker with it now and again.)
What was my point? Oh yes - when I look at the Rusty era through the lens of S5/Classic!Who, I can see all the ways in which it's just not quite what it 'should' be. But I don't really like doing that, much preferring to enjoy it on its own terms. 'Cause it's a lovely show, and Ten is adorable, and breaks so very beautifully. <3
