Doctor Who?

Many people have heard of the acclaimed british TV show, Doctor Who. Having just finished the season finale of season seven, the most recent one out on netflix, I feel that I can now do an extensive review.

Doctor Who is about a time lord, the last of his kind, who were destroyed in a brutal war with their enemies, the Daleks. The Doctor, as he names himself, travels around through time and space in a little blue police box that is bigger on the inside called the TARDIS. Everywhere he goes he encounters some sort of peril that usually puts the earth in the way of destruction, but always he manages to somehow miraculously save most people, but there are always a few casualties along the way to make things more dramatic.

The Doctor uses a sonic screwdriver, that can open or interact with anything except wood, which of course, has no moving parts.

Besides his screwdriver, and his TARDIS, the Doctor usually travels with a companion, who helps him to care about the human race and keep him sane. The few times he is without a companion, viewers see a side of him that is dark, and almost scary. He makes decisions that make you want to scream, "No! You're supposed to save everybody! Not just let things solve themselves!".

Because the Doctor is a Time Lord, he has two hearts and when killed, regenerates, changing his appearance and personality. This can be confusing or unpleasant at times for viewers as they can easily become attached to the current face.

Usually for a season of Doctor Who, there is a reoccurring theme that will pop up just long enough for you to wonder what it means, and then it's gone. But by the end of the season, you've either figured it out, or it's been revealed for that crucial moment of, "Ahhhhh, that's what that was." or, "Oh, now I feel stupid for not knowing that would happen." or, "WHAT? No! That can't happen! You were supposed to...Oh forget it." I can attest to the fact that these reactions will all be yours at one time or another if you decide to watch Doctor Who. Really, do it. It's totally worth it. Any show that can evoke this much emotion in its fans is worthy of your attention, so what are you waiting for? Go watch Doctor Who!
