Doctor Who Confessions
Monday, September 03, 2012Before I came to college last year, I had no clue what Doctor Who was. Sure, I was an avid fan of BBCA ever since the premiere of Robin Hood in 2006, but when Doctor Who airs sometime in the early morning, the Doctor and I never crossed paths.
Well, until I came to college. That's when all of this Doctor Who "timey wimey stuff" really became popular. That's when I met my future best friend, Jackie, who turned out to be a future Doctor Who fan. She converted me into a part-time Whovian. (Translation: Part-time Whovian- a casual watcher of Doctor Who, seeing the occasional episodes in no particular orders. But when this watcher views any episodes of Doctor Who, believe me, she does not blink.) The other part, or even the other full-time position, is being taken up by Sherlock and Supernatural, both, I am sure I will talk about sometime in the near future.
Today's post is being taken up by my thoughts on Doctor Who. For those of you who do not know, Doctor Who's seventh season aired last Saturday and the entire episode was BRILLIANT. Oh, that's right, it was fantastic!
My first doctor happens to be Matt Smith. I love him for three AMAZING reasons. (1) He is crazy, awesome, and twitchy. I realize, these are a lot of attributes to previous Doctors, but Matt Smith just does this personality in a way that makes me smile. (2) He wears a bowtie. I didn't know how much I loved bowties until I saw Doctor Who. (3) I am convinced he is part Nerdfighter because he definitely has some issues with his Puff Level. Yeah, I seriously like this Doctor.
On to the episode: Doctor Who's Asylum of the Daleks (7x1)
5. Jenna-Louise Coleman, the new companion to the Doctor, shows up out of no where. An unexpected plot twist already in the first episode of the season. I am going to like her. She has attitude which companions could use a lot more of (sure, Rose had attitude, but in that annoying way). Oswin is made of awesome. She comes on the show making souffles, terrible ones, but still that's pretty awesome. For the rest of the episode, the Doctor kept asking about the milk for her souffles, part of me knew that there was a catch and secretly, I think the Doctor wanted to try to eat some. Oswin seems like the best match for the Doctor and I can't wait to see her in more episodes. And, yes, I will definitely remember her.
