Doctor WHO?

A show about owl. HAHAHA no, but really I'm sure most people are at least aware of the show. If not, it's about a guy who can travel through time and space and it's awesome. Also, british. It has been going on since the 60's I believe. It took a break and came back in like 2005 ish? I'm not fact checking. Ok I will:


"Family-oriented program about a traveling Time Lord. The latest incarnation of the cult hit that originally launched in 1963.tv.yahoo.com
  •  March 2006 to present"

  • I was close. I only have watched the newer ones, but it's not necessary to watch the ones from pre-2006 to understand the storyline. I'm currently on the 5th season where the 11th doctor just appeared. The doctor is capable of regeneration if he gets badly injured/killed so he turns into a new person essentially.
So the newer seasons started with the 9th doctor. We meet Rose, who becomes his travel companion. They travel through different times and to different places in the universe in his TARDIS. They deal with a lot of different creatures and save the day along the way. We find out more about his home planet and learn he is the last of the time lords. 

SPOILERS

Then the season ends with Rose absorbing all the Tardis energy so the only way to save her is for the doctor to absorb it, which in turn kills him. So he regenerates into the 10th doctor, which made me mad at first, but I soon learned to love the 10th doctor. And so did Rose. They kind of fell in love without really saying anything. But in one attempt to save the world from dreaded Daleks- who NEVER seem to die- Rose accidentally got trapped in a parallel universe. And the Tardis can't go through to different universes. So they were separated. He made it through briefly to tell her he loved her, but of course, he faded just before he could tell her. #heartbreaking

Then he finds a new companion, Martha.I didn't like her at first because I missed Rose, but she turned out to be a good person. Then she wanted to leave after awhile because she was needed back at home and he Donna to go with him. He invited Donna to be him companion before Martha when she appeared in the Tardis on the day of her wedding, but she declined. Well she decided to come with him and actually is needed to save the universe at one point. But he has to clear her mind of everything because it is too overwhelming and she will die. So he is left alone essentially again. Throughout a few episodes, though, so many past characters come back INCLUDING ROSE!!! And in a freak accident a human version of the 10th doctor is created and left to live out his life with Rose in the parallel universe. 

(Also Capt. Jack is someone we learn of first with Rose and who appears throughout the seasons. We find out in season 4 that he IS the face of bose we have learned about earlier, which is mindblowing)

Anyway the 5th season starts out with a NEW doctor, a NEW tardis, and a NEW companion. It's a lot to take it. I'm starting to get into it, but I do miss the old doctor. Regardless, it's an awesome show and I don't describe it in justice.
