Hello peoples of Earth!

How long has it been? Too long.

So, as some of you know, I am a fan of Doctor Who.
For those of you who don't know, Doctor Who is a TV show. The main character is an alien called The Doctor from the planet Gallifrey, and he looks very much like a human except he has two hearts, and when he dies he "regenerates", thus gaining another life and stuff. He has a time and space machine called the TARDIS, short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space, disguised to look like a Police Public Call Box from the 1940's.
For some reason, he has vowed to protect the planet Earth. He always picks up some attractive young lady along his travels, who he falls in love with, but at the end she always leaves him or gets left in an alternate dimension or sometimes dies. Then he goes and finds another girl to fall in love with. Which is very.... strange. Mostly because the Doctor himself is over 900 years old. But also because he's an alien.

It might sound stupid to some people, but to those who say it is: go and watch ten episodes. Only then do you have clear judgement on such matters.

The show started in 1963, and the 50th anniversary episode aired last month. It was a very big deal and lots of people started watching the show specifically so they could watch the episode in theatres and have at least some kind of idea of what was going on.
I myself only had access to it by buying it on iTunes, but it was definitely worth it.

So, the point of this is: The 50th anniversary episode rocked.


Go watch Doctor Who.

  1. Cassie, he doesn't fall in love with all his companions. And for some reason, the easy you explained it made it sound really weird...

  3. Okay, correction:

    He doesn't fall in love with them all in the same way. Some he loves them as siblings, or just for being themselves. Often he loves them for being able to tell him when enough is enough. And some, he does fall head over heels for. But the deal is, he often cares for them too much. And, as he actually admits, "They break my heart." So, in truth, he does love them. But they all have to go at some point. And that's what ruins him.

    Happy now, Blaze?
