A Song of Ice and Fire, Doctor Who, Merlin Part 3

Doctor Who


My first ever Doctor was David Tennant, so I don't think I can say I'm a die-hard Whovian. I became a fan after the episode Last of the Time Lords from Series 3 of the reboot. My favorite companion was Martha Jones and Amy Pond. I didn't like Rose so much. I don't know why. I have nothing against her. In fact, I think she's cool. Maybe it's just I wasn't really into Doctor Who yet when she was the companion so...

My favorite episode (so far) would have to be... The Shakespeare Code from Series 3 of the reboot! It's not Blink, although I loved Blink too! The angels scared the shit out of me. I guess I just liked the Shakespeare code because I'm a die-hard Shakespeare fan, and I loved all the Harry Potter references.

I cried when Tennant left. The regeneration scene still makes me so sad, every time I watch it. Unlike the others though, I didn't hate Matt Smith and I didn't expect to hate Matt Smith. And as it turned out, I was right. I liked him from his first episode onward. He was such a fun Doctor to watch.

I think that Matt Smith did a better job of being funny and eccentric than Tennant (that doesn't mean that David Tennant wasn't funny though). It just doesn't seem forced or anything and he is genuinely cool. Tennant on the other hand did a better job at the dramatic/guilt-ridden scenes. You can just feel the emotions rolling off of him in waves. And the Doctor's loneliness was very evident when Tennant played him.

Ah. I miss David Tennant.

Anyway, in the spirit of Christmas, our favorite Time Lord returns for the Christmas Special: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe! The Doctor and Narnia and Christmas?! The Doctor and Narnia? Ultimate nerd fantasy!



I cannot even... I am just so... My eyes are brimming with tears right now! Here are also ten teasers (from www.digitalspy.co.uk). Have fun trying to guess what's going on!

• The episode picks up mere moments after the prequel ends.
• "Did you fall? Where did you fall from?"
• There's a moment that recalls the 1979 Bond film Moonraker.
• "I like the bombing - it's exciting!"
• The Doctor - briefly - has a new catchphrase.
• "Beware of panthers!"
• There is a reference to a Peter Davison-era Doctor Who adventure.
• "That man is quite ridiculous!"
• We also get a nod to an early Christopher Eccleston episode.
• "Eyes on the box!"

The last one, I'm pretty sure, refers to the TARDIS. Oh how I love that box... and the Doctor loves that box too! I can't wait for Christmas! Is it bad that this is the highlight of my Christmas this year? Of course not!

And with that,
Happy holidays! Let's party!

Don't party too hard though.
