Hello,
I know I have been pretty quite the last couple of weeks. I have been busy going to job interviews, looking for a new job (which I am glad to say that I have gotten). Then some family matters came up and you know family always come first. So I will be a bit busy over the next few weeks, trying to organize and sort things out. Posts will not be being posted as often as I might want but I will try to get this posts out at in a timely matter of at least once a week.
I thought I would take this time to talk about what Doctor Who means to me and why it has changed my life.
This show to me, at first, had all this mystery around it; Who was this Doctor? and what was this magical box, he called the TARDIS. But then it grow. It captured my imagine and brought me to a whole new world of wonder; a place I couldn’t possibly imagine being.
This show is about change and excepting that change for the better. It also showed me that violence wasn’t the only way to solve things. Doctor Who taught me that everyone and everything deserve to have a second chances, even if they were the person who might have broken your heart or the one you once called friend (or even if it is an alien race bent on destroying the universe and everything in it). You can sometimes find the good in people even though they might think that they have non left.
It showed me even though you might make mistakes it is okay because you can always learn from them and in some cases, fix them. Doctor Who might be thought of as a science fiction show but it is so much more then that; it is this wonderful thing that can be anything it wants to be, but it can also bring people closer together, even if they do not know each other they still feel this connection, this bond that only a whovian could understand. And above all, it is a show about hope, a hope for the future, and the Doctor represents that hope.
The Doctor was this man, this wonderful man, who could do anything and everything. I fell in love with the Doctor, and I don’t mean the actor or a specific regeneration of the doctor, I mean I fell in love with the Doctor.
He was the man with a plan and he knows where he stands in the universe. He fought these horrible monsters not with violence but with his mind and cunning. But he would also go into a situation with wonder and fascination, when others might have gone in with horror and judgement.
He would never pick up a gun unless it was the absolute last resort. He will do the things that would make the average person turn on their heels and run but he does it because no one has the guts to do so. The Doctor was this character that stayed calm in a crazy situation and even though he didn’t always have a plan he was able to keep his calm. But in some way I felt I could sympathize him in some way and I loved him for that.
And in the end this show is about facing those fears and dangers and monsters and not running away; but you stand up to them because it’s for what’s right.
