Series 1 Episode 8: Father's Day

Summary:
The Doctor asks Rose where she wants to go and she tells him that she wants to see her father. They look at different episodes of her father's life before they go to the day where he dies. But Rose can't just let her father die and so she saves him. The Doctor is angry with her and storms away while Rose sees that her father isn't the hero her mother described. After the Tardis is turned into a normal phone box, the Doctor goes back to Rose and can save her and the wedding party from the appearing monsters but he has no plan how to defeat them. He knows there is a way but he doesn't want to go it. Can Earth be saved?

This episode is the first time that the Doctor is really angry with Rose but I think he is more angry about the fact, that he didn't see it coming when she asked that she wanted to see her father's last day. I think it's really sweet of him that he doesn't say how everyone can be saved because that would mean the death of Rose's father and he doesn't want to see her hurt. Because all of this Rose and her father are able to spend some time together and he can be the hero she always imagined him to be. The monsters are quite scary and really well made. They remind you a bit of a praying mantis. I liked the story about Rose's Dad because it gives her character a bit more depth and we know better why she decides to do this or that sometimes. The clothes and hairstyle of the time are ugly and funny at the same time but they add a great touch to the episode.

Dalek invasion of the Stargate universe

Today I found a video which combines Doctor Who and Stargate. The Daleks are in the Stargate universe and want to destroy every life form but it's not that easy for them. The video was made by GCm4n.

Elisabeth Sladen

Today would have been the birthday of Elisabeth Sladen whom we all knew and loved in the role of Sarah Jane Smith, companion of the Doctor and later in the spin-off "The Sarah Jane Adventures".
I didn't know her before Doctor Who was relaunched in 2005 but I think today is a good day to remember, what she and her role meant for you and maybe say a small thank you for being who she was.
Thank you Lis.

Quotes from "Blink"

Today I have some quotes from the episode "Blink" for you. I still think the Weeping Angels are one of the scariest monsters of Doctor Who.

Sally: I love old things. They make me feel sad.
Kathy: What’s good about sad?
Sally: It’s happy for deep people.

Kathy: Are you following me?
Ben: Yeah.
Kathy: You're going to stop following me?
Ben: No, I don't think so.

Billy: Drink? You, me? Now?
Sally: Aren’t you on duty, Detective Inspector Shipton?
Billy: No. Knocked off before I left. Told them I had a family crisis.
Sally: Why?
Billy: Because life is short and you are hot. Drink?

The Doctor: Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death. Rest of your life, used up, blown away in a blink of an eye. You die in the past and in the present they consume the energy of all the days you might have had. All your stolen moments. They're creatures of the abstract, they live off potential energy.
Billy: What in God's name are you talking about?
Martha: Trust me, just nod when he stops for breath.

The Doctor: Tracked you down with this. This is my timey-wimey detector. Goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces. Whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.

Sally: My God, it’s you. It really is you. Oh, you don’t remember me, do you?
Martha: Doctor, we haven’t got time for this. Migration’s started.
The Doctor: Look, sorry, I’ve got a bit of a complex life. Things don’t always happen to me in quite the right order. It gets a bit confusing at times, especially at weddings. I’m rubbish at weddings. Especially my own.
