Being a 'Doctor Who' fan means learning how to love and lose and love again

No matter how great the new Doctor is on 'Doctor Who,' it's always a wrench to let go of the old.

I’m four episodes into the reign of Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor ... well, five if you count the “Doctor Who Special 4” in which he met his companion Ruby Sunday ... well, five and a half if you also count the “Doctor Who Special 3” in which he emerged, via the world’s first bi-regeneration, from the side of the Tenth-turned-Fourteenth Doctor . In any case, I’m burrowed into this season of “Doctor Who” and as per regenerative usual, I’m feeling conflicted.

Sure, those characters could change — age, face crises, grow — a bit but not so much that audiences did not recognize them. Can you imagine if James Gandolfini had been replaced as Tony Soprano every few seasons? While other shows blur the line between TV and film — ”it’s like a 10-hour movie” is something showrunners really need to stop saying — “Doctor Who” straddles television and theater.
