Fan comments

Finally, Frakes has a short strip in the Doctor Who fanzine allons-y. I could have done without the long essays on Doctor Who fandom, though I suppose such things were inevitable in this sort of zine. Frakes' "You Never Forget Your First Doctor" was typically clever and unabashedly fannish, touching on the ways in which memory can make something seem better than it actually was. The only things really worth reading in the zine were personal takes on the show. I enjoyed GP Bonesteel's imagining Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear as a former companion of the Doctor turned into a toy as well as Jared Rosello's poignant then grimly funny take on facing one's fears.[3]
