I am a self proclaimed Nerd. I love Shows like Avatar the Last Airbender, Marvel Movies, and a variety of BBC shows. However there is one BBC show I have never gotten into, Doctor Who. BBC's most popular Sci-fi show. I have never gotten into for a reason I can not explain rationally. The only thing I can say for sure is that for the most part, I simply didn't get it, I didn't understand what it was about. And everytime I tried to ask someone about it the only response I got was "you just have to watch it!" What kind of answer is that...Can you not give me a "Doctor Who for Dummies" or something. Now I will not say that I have never seen an episode of Doctor Who, in an attempt to understand it better I watched a "classic" episode on Netflix. Sadly the episode I watched did not help me understand anything about the show other than that 60's TV can be VERY entertaining. Luckily there is something that has helped me understand Doctor Who. Pintrest is a fantastic site with a very dedicated "geek" category, and most of the content of that category is, you guessed it, DOCTOR WHO! So I thought I would share with you the things that Pintrest has taught me about Doctor Who. Who knows maybe this will help someone else understand the show that doesn't seem to be explainable. :-)
What Pinterest has taught me about Doctor Who!
- The Doctor does not die, he simply regenerates. Allowing the network to hire a new actor.
- The Doctor has regenerated 10 times in the last 50 years. (the show is currently on Doc. Number 11)
- TD (the Doctor) has never been a redhead, but seems to want to be one very badly.
- Fezzes and bow ties are cool
- TD is an alien by my best guess and from Galfry (excuse my spelling)
- TD has two hearts
- TD has companions, female companions
- One companion is Rose Tyler, whom many people seem to love.
- Another companion is River Song, whom there seems to be mixed feelings about.
- The TARDIS is not a phone booth, phone booths are red, it is a Police Call Box.
- The TARDIS is female???
- Angel statues are bad news (let’s hope our fair Doctor never visits New Orleans)
- Some guy named Rory dies a lot.
- David Tennatte played the 10th Doctor and Matt Smith plays the 11th Doctor
- Dr. Who is the incorrect way to type Doctor Who
- The Words Bad Wolf seem to be dangerous.
- Gas masks also seem to play a part in something
- TD uses a sonic Screwdriver (whatever that is)
- There are these robots called Daliks, and are not good things to encounter
- Tommy Pickles from the Rugrats is a popular Doctor Who comparison ( I have heard that the creators were big fans of TD)
