TNT has been showing Lord of the Rings pretty much nonstop for the past couple of weekends.
For the first time since it came out, I sat down and watched all three movies, in a row, last weekend.
After it was over, my own piece of this particular world seemed fairly boring and not worth trying for anymore ... temporarily.
Then, some real problem came along, drawing me into it and away from my previous escape.
I'm not saying you should not invest as much attention and emotion as you wish in the Doctor's world and adventures. The point of those stories is to suck you in.
What I am saying is ... you gotta learn to bounce back.
