I also love the notion that the Ponds are the fans: telling their own "Doctor stories," playing games, drawing pictures, dressing up, acting out roles, etc.

Your metas make me realize why I love and continue to watch DW. Sometimes the plot messiness can make me grind my teeth (especially when a decent setup is squandered with a resolution involving little more than a rush of technical mumbo-jumbo and a wave of the sonic screwdriver), but the show is so rich on a symbolic and metaphorical level that it keeps drawing me back. Many of the better episodes, I can re-watch endlessly and still get something out of them. If I were doing a degree in Media Studies, I think I'd write my doctoral (heh) thesis on Who. It really is that good.
