Doctor Who

>> 26 November, 2011

Recently, I have watched Series 5 of Doctor Who. I immediately fell in-love with the show that after one episode, I cried real hard! It was damn good! I can't believe all this time, there's a show like this and I'm like, what have I've been doing all this time?! I'm late!

You might think this is the reason why I cried but it's not. The intense feeling is unexplainable! It's like, hey! I wanna be a Time Lord too or I wanna go on a journey with the doctor in his TARDIS! Take me now! NOW!!! :(


Anyway........ Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) where a centuries-old time-travelling Time Lord alien in human form from the planet Gallifrey, the last of his kind, explores the universe with his time machine called the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), whose exterior looks like a blue police phone box.

Doctor Who's adventures, with his succession of companions, faces a variety of enemies while saving civilizations, helping people, and right wrongs.

Doctor Who is listed in the Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world with over 780 episodes (still rising), 26 seasons, and 6 series (still rising).

Currently, the Doctor has been played by eleven actors. Time Lords have the ability to regenerate themselves when they reach a "near to death" injury. He is completely repaired but in doing so, changes his physical appearance, and personality. In The Deadly Assassin, a 1976 episode, it is revealed that Time Lords can regenerate 12 times, equivalent to 13 incarnations before permanently dying. In the current series, this is the Doctor's 10th regeneration, 11th incarnation.

Doctor Who originally ran from 1963 to 1989 (26 seasons). It got suspended because its 1980s performance (6th and 7th Doctor) with three to five million viewers were seen poor at that time. On 1996, the 8th Doctor made his first television appearance in a television movie. It didn't spark for a new television series but various licensed media namely: BBC Books' Eighth Doctor Adventures novels, audio plays from Big Finish Productions, and the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip gave life to the 8th doctor for nine years before the release of the television series of the 9th Doctor on 2005 (Series 1).

Doctor Who is just extreme awesomeness! Hopefully I could watch old episodes to further lengthen my knowledge about Doctor Who. I truly enjoy watching this :)

Now what should I do to the crack on my wall XD

Oooh I started watching Doctor Who as well, I started at the ninth doctor, I'm currently on the 10th now. It's kind of sad though (very sad, i can't even imagine it), being the last of his kind and given the fact that he can only regenerate up to 12 times before permanently dying. :(

@PiBi, wahhh!!! I'm so jealous XD I only started watching on the 11th Doctor.

Yeah it's sad. I do hope he could live more than 12 regenerations :(
