A little while ago I mentioned that I would start watching Doctor Who. Guess what happened...
Yep... So, I think I'm finally emerging from my Doctor depression (or Tennant-itis, as I like to call it) and I can talk about how awesome this series is. One of the things I think is so great about Doctor Who is the way the writers have taken every day things and worked them into the essence of what Doctor Who is. They've created a fandom like no other. Take this picture above. The 3-D glasses, the bowtie, the TARDIS coffee mug, the thing-a-ma-bob he's holding (that's a sonic screwdriver, btw), and the banana are all references to the show and 3 of those things you could come into contact with often. Now that I'm a fan, I can't go a day without being reminded of The Doctor just by living life. Talk about smart writing.
I could seriously go on and on about the sheer brilliance of Doctor Who, but it would probably involve lots of spoilers and girly squeeing and ugly crying so I'll save that for another day.
Next on the FF agenda is the Nerdist! Go listen! Tons of podcasts featuring only the coolest celebrities and film and TV writers. I must say that my favorites are the ones where Chris Hardwick, Jonah Ray, and Matt Mira just have a conversation. The David Tennant interview is, of course, awesome.
Also, listening to these guys is strangely inspiring. I feel the need to find someone to geek out with, to start on that costume I've been wanting to make, and write about all the nerdy things.
Which is what I shall do now!
What are ya'll nerding out about?
I share your Dr. Who obsession, particularly with Ten. I cried All The Tears when he left. :(
ReplyDeleteI also love Firefly. Nathan Fillion was brilliant in it. He's the reason why I started watching Castle, which is awesome btw!
Oh, David Tennant. I miss him so. Hopefully, he'll come back for the 50th anniversary special... Some how.
DeleteOh yeah, can't beat Firefly. It's so shiny! And I've watched a good bit of Castle but I need to catch up.
