This moment in Doctor Who is one of my favorite moments.
It’s just so darn magical.
Seriously, I’m not much of a risk taker, but if the doctor showed up on my front porch, I’d probably not live too long after because I’d do something stupid to impress him. Or I’d end up like Adam (series 1). Honestly, I don’t think I’d make a great companion.
‘The only reason I made it through one of the worst days of my life was because a friend drove me home, sat me on my couch and turned on Partners in Crime. I’ll be forever grateful for that distraction, and for that friend for knowing exactly which Companion I needed. People are always complaining about different companions, Doctors, or even pairings, but to be completely honest, I’m just grateful that the show exists to be the one thing I can count on to keep me sane even on the worst of days.’
Ooh. Ohoh. Hah. I can’t make coherent sentences because this has occurred to me like an epiphany. Hahaaah. I like it.
‘I finally realized why I didn’t like River Song in Season 6. Since the show goes backwards from her timeline we don’t see her grow into this amazing person. Instead it’s like we see this amazing woman devolve and become more immature. And that’s not a bad reflection on her character, it’s just because for us things are in the wrong order.’
‘I think it would be too weird if the Doctor and Amy had some sort of Rose/Ten relationship going on. Even though Matt Smith is a young actor, to me, his character has become that mad old man in a box the show started with in the 1960s.’
‘I’m not what you would call a romantic, some call me a cynic, but every time I see the series five finale and Rory waits for Amy for 2,000 years while the universe is collapsing around them, I can’t help but melt a little. I may even tear up a bit. It’s just so romantic and I can’t help myself!’
‘Rory is my favorite companion. To me, he’s the voice of reason; Doctor Who’s “Everyman”. Maybe it’s because I can relate to him and his decisions, but I love him. I even named my cat after him.’
‘I still have no idea why the TARDIS exploded in “The Big Bang.” Am I stupid or is there a plot hole?’
I actually had a two hour long conversation about all of the plot holes and arcs left unfinished by a Moffat season finale. Sure, the doctor ultimately saves the day by being clever, but Moffat never answers any of our questions. Why did the Silence explode the TARDIS? Who is the Silence? Why do they hate the doctor? How do they know about the doctor? Is the Silence really gone after the weird eye-patch lady is dispatched or is the Silence bigger than just her?
Well. Lots of questions. Too many. And of course Moffat had to be a jerk and add yet another question to my growing list. Thank you Moffat. Really, I appreciate all of the lost sleep I will aquire thinking about “Doctor Who…. Doctor Who??”
