So I hope that you have noticed my new banner for this blog. Actually it only took a few hours to draw and ink it. But because I had summer classes, I put aside coloring it but here it is now. :D So pretty! Besides that, I have some new dramas and movies I've been wanting to talk about but first let me mention Doctor Who! :D :D
So it has nothing to do with asian dramas or anime and whatnot, but that is not the purpose of this blog. I happen to see alot of them because that is what I like. That doesn't mean I'll be all prejudice about other shows from other countries. So here goes:
Name: Doctor Who (UK)
Release Date: well.....it's a tv series that started out in 1964 (waa so old :O), and it took a little 15 year break, and started out again around 2005? i want to say?.... There has also been feature length movies, as well as a cartoon version (but the cartoon kinda sucks so I don't recommend it), and there are even books too! Like actual books with stories in them. The books range from those that are just a novelized version of a tv episode, tv series guides made from devoted fans, and the ones that have stories but haven't been made into episodes (this is the one I like...cuz really...I just can't read a book about an episode that I just saw. Maybe the other way around, read book and then see episode, but that almost never happens to me). And don't worry. The picture I've posted has no spoilers.
So far I started watching from the new tv series that started in 2005 approximately. Let me explain the basic concept of Doctor Who first before I start going nerdy on you.
Doctor Who is basically this guy called The Doctor who's part of the alien race 'The Timelords'. He has a tardis which is his spaceship that looks like an old police box (blue in color) from the outside, but is actually a lot bigger in the inside. Since its first showings in 1964, the Doctor has always had a companion with him. But because people don't live forever, I think they thought of a way to continue the series with different actors and still make it believeable. In other words, The Doctor has the power to regenerate himself when he is at his weakest. So he doesn't die. He just literally regenerates his body and it just so happens that it looks like a totally different person. Sometimes when he regenerates, he'll say things like "I don't really like these new teeth" or something silly like that. Part of being an alien Timelord is that he has two hearts which comes in handy for many episodes.
Anyway, so then he travels through time and in a sense is like the guy that saves humans from being totally destroyed by some other alien species that want to take advantage of planet earth. Most times it's about the humans, but in other books or episodes he might also be saving other planets/species.
For the episodes that I have seen, I've loved all of them. Not all of them are SUPER GREAT, but I still enjoy them. And I love the actor David Tennant (that's the guy in the center of the picture that plays the Doctor). He was also in Harry Potter. :P For the show though, I've watched it so far from Netflix, so I don't have a free source. The best I can tell you is to go to your library and request them if they don't have them. Or just get netflix. It's like....8 US Dollars per month. :D I know it sucks not to have a free source but for this one I don't have one. :(
I'll make some other posts about specific books and/or movies that are still within the Doctor Who series. :D
