Been crazily following the series of Doctor Who. Youtube is such a powerful tool. I watched Jack and Ianto's clips months ago after following Ollie/Christian story. So I already know them and the show. Somehow wasn't interested to watch the show back then, but decided to watch the first 2 episodes of Torchwood on Monday night.
I watched Torchwood because of Captain Jack so I wanted to know how he became immortal, so had to go back to Doctor Who. Afterall, Torchwood spin-off from Doctor Who. So went to watch his first episode on Doctor Who, the 9th Doctor. In the end after his 5 episode appearance on the 1st series, went on to watch the 10th Doctor's series as well.
This Doctor Who series is a sci-fi series based in Britian. Partly why I'd love to watch it coz everyone is speaking in the British accent! Haha... anyway it has been going on for decades! Al lthe way from the 1st Doctor. It's a series about The Doctor, (doesn't know his own name, just calls himself The Doctor), and his adventures in TARDIS, his so-called spaceship. Basically he is a Time Lord and travels all over the world through different timeline as well. Kind of like time travel. His main purpose is to travel and defeat alien forms that try to destroy the Earth. Basically each episode is about facing different types of alien matter.
He has humans as travel companion to help him along the way. And about the different Doctors? Well, that's the most fascinating part. Time Lords have the ability to regenerate into a new form whenever their old form suffers fatal wounds or something. Basically instead of dying, they get to regenerate. But the downside is that their whole appearance will change. Kind of great for the series if they want to change the actor eh? Haha... brilliant. The latest Doctor is the 11th, and his series start in April. All the Doctors have this similar trait that they can remember their past in the other Doctors' forms, and obviously they are very smart. I think they have a very quirkly personality too. The way they speak makes sense, yet not something you will hear as a human. I dun think I make sense there, haha!
Anyway if you're interested in sci-fi stuff, do catch Doctor Who! You could start from the 9th Doctor like I did, because there was a filming haitus between the 8th Doctor and the 9th. The 9th Doctor will be great to start off I think. The rest b4 that would be a little 'old'. I dun think I was even born yet when they filmed them! Utube is a great source and how I spent the past 2 days and ytd the FULL day watching. Spent the whole of Monday afternoon looking through wikipedia as well. And boy are there a WHOLE LOT of info there. 9th Doctor only has 1 series, thats Series 1, 10th Doctor is series 2-4. In the middle of those there are special episodes like Christmas Special etc to tie in the series as well.
Overall, I just love the British humor. So different from the American and other kind of humor. Love it!
