Post #10 -”I’m the Doctor”

So I am hoping this post doesn’t come off fan girl style but it might because this is one of my favorite shows of all time and Doctor 10, David Tennant, is gorgeous and Brilliant.  Doctor Who according to the Wiki is a British science fiction television program produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a mysterious, humanoid alien known as the Doctor who travels through time and space in his spacecraft, the TARDIS (an acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British police box. With his companions, he explores time and space, faces a variety of foes and rights wrongs.

The series first started in 1963 and ran until 1989, it was in 2005 that the new generation of Doctors were reborn and since than the series was put into the world record book for longest running continuous series.  Below are the doctors from 1-11.

The doctor has many great enemies that he protects to the world from such as cyberman:

Also his greatest enemy and the one that wipped out his home planet as well as the other time lords, Daleks,

While the Doctor doesnt use weapons he does use a sonic screw driver.  The series is dramatic and hilarious and I would recommend it to anyone.  Also if you follow the links it may begin to make more sense to you.  I’m talking about the animation in this series because with every episode there is some form of CGI, while the show and its creatures do rely heavily on makeup and special effect artists they do use a considerable amount of CGI, from small things like weapons to large scale cities and planets.  Im fact the series has created a spinoff web show in the BBC where it is entirely animated.  The trick to keeping the series going is that the Doctor is capable of regeneration.  Its a Time Lords way of cheating death.  Below is a clip that shows this where we can also see some of the CG from the series.  This is the nestest regeneration sequence in which my favorite doctor is replaced by  a new/same doctor.  While the actor changes the basis of the doctor never does.

In the next clip we see a doctor who villian in pure CGI not to mention the space station and black hole.  Enjoy the Doctor talking to Satan:

Then there are just the classic comedic moments:

So with the Doctor you get the best of everything, I recommend it to everyone.  Just check out 2005 with doctor #9 the budget isnt the greatest but it gets better as it keeps going.  The new season with doctor 11 just started over Easter so you have plenty of time to catch up.
