Dr. Who Rocks!
Saw the second to the last episode of Dr. Who last night on the SciFi Channel. Yes, I realise I sound like a geek admitting this, but I have heard that even the Queen of England is addicted to the British science fiction television show. It is the longest running scifi show in history- started in the sixties. I have been watching the Timelord’s adventures since I was barely a teenager- when Tom Baker had the role. of the Doctor. They all seemed corny back then, a time traveller engaging with strange aliens, even stranger planets, and always saving mankind from the most villainous of alien enemies. Now, after receiving pictures of other planets, galaxies and beyond in my emails - all legit, and last night one of the moon walking astronauts said there were aliens among us- (on the News!)- Doctor Who episodes do not seem so far fetched. The world, as we know it is facing it’s own doomsday, according to a Mayan Calendar (uh, Dec 21st 2012) and Nostradamas, and we all seem to be in search of the One that will save us.. (It is NOT Barack Obama, folks!) just like in that science fiction series. Dang, where is the Doctor when you need him? Getting back to last night’s show- it was a treat for any Who fan, bringing in a blast from the past-a cast of old traveling companions, Sarah Jane, Rose Tyler, Martha Jones and Capt, Jack Harkness (and his Torchwood spin off staff). Wow. Next week is the last episode of the series. Haven’t a clue whether they will shoot another season in Britain (Cardiff, I believe) or not. I had fallen into becoming an avid fan of theTorchwood spin off series right before they took it off the air- sigh. Can’t stand most shows on the television-, but am on the edge of my seat for the series finale of Dr. Who next week…hey, he’s a traveler, just like me, but with a blue box and older companions (I have youngsters in tow now). What is there not to like? I await the finale with baited breath…
