Some say they are motivated by Dr. Who peerpressure.
"I was friends with a bunch of Whovians, and Igot tired of having them talk over myhead--although that isn't hard, because I'mshort--so I started watching the show," Demitriosaid.
"I first watched it freshman year in highschool, but I really didn't start watching it muchuntil three years ago because several of myfriends did," said Sandman.
But other members' fixation with Dr. Who is anoutgrowth of liking other types of ScienceFiction.
"I hated Science Fiction until sixth grade,when someone introduced me to Madeleine L'Engle's[a popular children's science fiction author]work," Demitrio said. "Then I read all her work inthe next three days, without eating or sleeping."
And Siegel said, "I was watching Star Trek whenI was three years old, and then one night in thirdor fourth grade I was just flipping channels andstarted watching Dr. Who. I've been watching itever since.
