Allons-y

So, I've finished Doctor Who, and I really wish I hadn't since Series 6 doesn't start for another month, and it looks like it's going to be awesome, so  it seems I'll be turning to some old school stuff to get my fix...but I digress.

I don't have a favorite Doctor because all of them are really great in their own ways. I just wish Eccleston had been on for more than one season, but then we wouldn't have gotten all the Tennant episodes, so there you go. Tennant might be a step up because he was on longer, but I'm really liking Matt Smith, especially after Big Bang, and he still has time.

Donna Noble is probably my favorite companion with Rory being a close second...and I really need a guy like Rory, by the way. A guy who will wait 2,000 years for you? Yes, please. Captain Jack Harkness is in his own separate little corner, of course. I love any episode with Captain Jack. I also liked Astrid and Lady Christina, but they were very short-lived...for different reasons.

Up until the Pandorica arc, my very favorite episodes were the ones where the Doctor was hardly in them, at least physically on screen...Blink and Love & Monsters, for example.

In short, Doctor Who is made of win. No, it's not perfect. Yes, sometimes the stories are silly. But it makes me feel. I've laughed and cried, often in the same episode. I care about the characters. I want them to succeed, to live, and I want to be in on the adventure. Above all, it leaves me looking for that funny man in the blue box, and I think we all need a little bit of that.

Happy Valentine's Day!

And I mean Happy Valentine's Day. I don't hold with Singles Appreciation Day or Singles Awareness Day, really I don't. Yes, I am single, for exactly two years today, in fact, since my ex helped me dodge a bullet two Valentine's Days ago. It's just Valentine's Day and it has been for (please hold while I check Google)...well over a thousand years as it was apparently established in 496 AD. Yes, it's traditionally the celebration of couples, now at least, but there are so many different forms of love. I'm single, but I'm okay with it. I have family and friends that I know love me, and the rest will come in time. So, be happy, fellow single ladies and single gents. Celebrate Valentine's Day knowing that there's someone out there, and at least one person (and most likely more than that one) who loves you. Just because you're not with your soul mate now doesn't mean you can't celebrate the day for what it is...a day to share love.
