The Lonely God

Is it really a good life when you live as long as the Doctor?
He sees a lot, meets many people and there are always his companions but nobody can say if he is really happy deep inside. The Doctor had to kill his own race to end a war and I don't know how a person can live with that and still keep going.
He normally has companions but they either leave him at some point or he leaves them behind or they die because of him. How can you go on when all this blood is on your hands?
I know he has helped a lot of people but that's probably not enough to calm his conciousness and he can always remember everything. You could see some of the effects in the episode "Let's kill Hitler" when the Tardis showed different people as its interface. He feels guilty because of what happened to most of the people he met and I really don't know how he can stand it.
Yes, I know the Doctor is only fiction but if he would be real could he live with all the things he has done, the things he will do and the people he has hurt?

What is so special about Doctor Who?

Have you ever asked yourself why Doctor Who is so special beside all the other TV shows out there?

I guess the first thing is that it has been there for such a long time now. In 2013 is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who and which series can claim that it was more or less constantly on TV for 50 years. Doctor Who is now a part of the British culture and I guess everyone who grows up in the UK knows at least what Doctor Who is.
Another thing for me is, that I like the mixture of great stories and even greater characters. The success of the series always depends on who plays the Doctor and who are his companions. That's a big part of it all. They could have brilliant stories but if the actors are rubbish nobody would watch the series.
And then there is the concept of time travelling which opens you a lot of doors. You can let the stories happen in the past, present or future and nobody can tell you this can't be real. They even reboot the universe sometimes and undo things that happened before this way. Everything is possible with Doctor Who.
There are probably a lot more reasons out there why Doctor Who is so special and I guess everybody has their own set of reasons.
Fell free to share your reasons with me and leave a comment.

Poll results

Well, not a lot of participants for my last poll.

My question was, who's your favourite Torchwood character. It seems that Gwen and Jack are on top of your list but the others are following shortly behind. No, I didn't include Ianto in this poll.
I don't know what to ask at the moment so I will skip the poll for now until I stumble over a nice question.

Favourite Torchwood Characters

Who is you favourite character in Torchwood or do you have more than one?

I think I still stick with the original characters of Jack, Gwen and Rhys. I especially like the quite moments which they share together and the past they have. They are characters you somehow just have to like.
I start to like the new characters of Rex and Esther as well but they are still new and you don't know a lot about them. Sometimes I find Gilly quite funny but she is not an easy character to like. It's somehow the same with Oswald. He is not a very likeable and I just can't get warm with him.

Well, what about you? Do you have a favourite Torchwood character? (Yes, I know you all like Ianto but I'm only talking about living persons at the moment.) So leave me a comment or vote in my poll who is your favourite Torchwood character at the moment.

Would you travel with the Doctor when he really exists?

What would you do when one day you step out of your door and there is a strange blue box standing in your garden?
Would you think you are still dreaming and go back to bed or would you approach it and think "What the hell is this thing doing in my garden?"
And when it even gets stranger and a man comes out of this box, extends his hand and asks you if you want a ride, what would you do?

I don't know if you've ever asked yourself these questions and how you would answer them. I guess I would investigate this thing in my garden with my mobile in my hand, just in case I have to call the police because I can't explain how this thing could be in my garden. Maybe I would check first if I'm awake and not dreaming.
I don't know if I would go away with a stranger when he asks me because I still have this thing in me that you learn as a child: Don't go with someone you don't know. But I am grown up now and probably too romantic and when this guy looks like my knight in shining armour I think I would just go with him. I think I would like to see some spectacular places in the universe and also do some time travelling. The first thing I would probably say when I step into this box is, that it is so much bigger on the inside.
Would I fall in love with the Doctor? Depends really on how old he looks and if he's into girls right now. So maybe I would. Who can't fall in love with a guy who shows you the universe and things you never thought could exist?

So I think I would definitely travel with the Doctor when I would get the chance in real life and he is offering it to me.
What about you?

Poll results

Well it's time again to tell you the results of my poll. I don't know why but I get always so few votes on my polls and then a lot of disappearing votes.
I wanted to know what you think when Amy was abducted and the one that voted agreed with me that it probably was somewhen between the episodes "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon". Maybe the Moff will tell us more about what happend with Amy in the episodes which will be aired in autumn this year. I would really like to get some explanations.

I'm still very Torchwood-y today so the new poll question is: Do you like the new Torchwood series?
I have heard different opinions already but now I want to hear them here. Feel free to leave comments.

Jack meeting the Eleventh Doctor?

How do you think it would be when Jack meets the Eleventh Doctor?

I would love to see this combination because they would definitely have another chemistry between them than Jack an the Tenth Doctor.
It would be fun to have Jack inside the Tardis again for an episode or two. I think he would get along well with Amy but Rory wouldn't like him for that. There is potential for some interesting scenes there.
But what would the Doctor say to Jack? Would he be happy to see him again or not? I don't know exactly but I hope they would greet each other as old friends and have some fun together. Maybe they would talk about things that happened after the Doctor met Jack the last time, the events between "Children of Earth" and "Miracle Day". That would be interesting.
There are really so many possibilities what can happen when Jack and the Doctor meet again and I hope they put it into the series someday. It would give the episode a feeling of old days and some great dynamics.
Well, you can always hope.

Amy's abduction

I think most of the Who Fans out there have seen the first half of series 6 now and I can talk about Amy's abduction without spoiling the episodes for you.

Have you also asked yourself when the hell Amy was abducted?
I think it's hard to say when exactly it happened but it must have been before the episode "Day of the Moon" because that is the first time Amy sees the eye-patch lady. We now know that she sees her only because she lies in this - how would you call it - container thing and her consciousness is inside her Ganger and the eye-patch lady looks inside there and causes some interference in the psychic link.
I can't remember right now if the Doctor scanned Amy for pregnancy in the "Impossible Astronaut" but I think it was in "Day of the Moon" and he got this strange readings. That is also a sign for Ganger Amy.
Maybe her abduction was still earlier between the Christmas Special and "The Impossible Astronaut". We still don't know exactly how she was abducted and I don't really know if it was the eye-patch lady or if she had help from someone else. Maybe the Silence helped her. Who knows?
Something else I find puzzling is, how they have known about Amy's pregnancy? They must have monitored her somehow but then it's the question again, how they have done that?
We got some answers in "A Good Man goes to War" concerning River but I think Steven Moffat has given us more new questions to consider than answers.

Tell me your thoughts about all of this when you like and I would be happy when you vote in my new poll concerning Amy's abduction.

Why is River Song in prison?

There are different theories out on the web why River Song is in prison.
I think the one which most of the people believe in is, that she was the one who killed the Doctor. But was it really her in this spacesuit in the episode "The Impossible Astronaut"? I really don't know. It could have been her because they are always meeting in the wrong order and she must have been a child when they've met for the first time.
River seems to have Timelord DNA but is she also able to regenerate or maybe regenerate just once? That's also something that puzzles me and I have heard different theories about it. Is River the girl we have seen in "Day of the Moon"?
I have read a comment lately that it's possible that we haven't seen the real Doctor die but a Ganger of him. That makes some sense but the technology must be more advanced then because normally the Gangers just disintegrate when they die.
Well, there are still a lot of questions we need and want an answer to concerning River and the Doctor. Please, vote in my new poll which is also about this theme.
One thing that also won't go out of my mind is how sad it must be for the Doctor to know how River dies all the time. That must be quite a burden for him.

What will you remember of the different Doctors?

I wondered what you will remember of the different Doctors?
I only know three of them because I haven't seen the older episodes of Doctor Who but I can tell you what I will remember of the Doctors 9-11 which were played by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and now Matt Smith.
The Ninth Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston looked always a bit sad and like he felt the weight of the whole universe on his shoulders but I really liked his humor. He was really funny and the scene when he first met Rose will always stay in my head. I think he was more serious than the Doctors after him.
What I loved about the Tenth Doctor played by David Tennant was his smile. He really has a gorgeous smile and you want to smile along. Another thing I will remember is him saying "Allons-y". That was always great and who can forget this epic scene before his regeneration when he visited all his friends for the last time.
I really like that the Eleventh Doctor played by Matt Smith sometimes looks like a child when he finds something interesting. He doesn't say "Geronimo" very often in the new series which I also like.
Well that was it for now. Maybe you want to tell me what you like about the different Doctors and what you will remember of them.

What are you going to watch during the Doctor Who break?

Do you already know what you are going to watch during the Doctor Who break?
After the last episode on Saturday the Doctor Who fans are facing a hard time with no new episodes over the summer. I think it's really hard to wait for new episodes because of this cliffhanger at the end of the last episode and the revelation of River Songs secret.
Just some questions which come to my mind. Where is the Doctor now after he left Rory and Amy behind? What are Amy and Rory thinking of River? And one question I really want to know: How the hell is it possible that River can escape from prison so easily?

Are you going to watch some reruns of Doctor Who or will it be a Who free summer for you? I still have to catch up with some Sarah Jane Adventures episodes (I'm at the end of series 2 now) and there is always Torwood to look forward to in July but that's still a bit away.
Anyways, I'm still thinking about buying this DVD package from Amazon with all the episodes of series 1 to 4 of Doctor Who. Does anyone have it? Is it good?

Well, you can always come here and read some of my scribblings about the Doctor when you need a bit Doctor Who feeling over the summer. ;)

What do you think about a female incarnation of the Doctor?

Have you ever thought about the Doctor as a female after the next regeneration?
I don't know if that's possible but come on he's a Timelord so why not change into a woman. And I guess he could be ginger as well then. That looks better on women than on men in most cases anyway.
You can't deny that it would bring an interesting twist to the story and there would be some hot male companions then. Nothing against Rory as a male companion but you can't say that he is especially hot. He is more cute in a cuddly way.
You can argue that the Doctor has always been a male and should stay a male but come on why not exchange the roles. Well, if you don't want to have a female Doctor for a whole series then think about what it would be like to have a body changing episode or something like that. I really think that would be quite funny to see the normal behaviour of the Doctor in a female and the other way round.
Anyways I would be happy to hear your opinion on this theme so leave a comment or vote in my poll which should be up for around two weeks.

Is Matt Smith...?

I will apologize to the guys who come across this post before I actually start it. You probably don't want to read this. I guess I would be quite embarrassed if I should ever meet Matt Smith in person and he knew I was the one who wrote this. Well know we are getting to my question:

Is Matt Smith still single?
You probably know from that question that I'm a girl but well, someone has to ask this. Matt is really cute and as it says on the webpage Matt Smith's Hair: His "hair is like an elegant ocean wave carved from teak" (By the way, he knows about this page) and I think I agree with that. His hair is really nice and has this "I just came out of bed" style.
I would love to know how much of him is in his version of the Doctor because he seems like a really nice guy. It would be really cool to meet him in real and not only via TV.
And another question is if he is still single? I would love to know that also a bit for myself maybe. He is really very cute and around my age but that will probably only be a daydream. ;) 
I guess he is a guy that every girl would love to call her boyfriend.

How is the bathroom looking?

Have you ever thought about how the bathroom is looking in the Tardis?

Is ist just a normal bathroom where you only have enough space to move around with your elbows close to your body or is it this big that ten people would fit in at once? Will it have a futuristic design or will it look more like the 70s on earth?
I think it looks a bit like the control room, at least the colours, with all the modern stuff you can have in a bathroom and with a shower and a big bathtub. In addition there are big fluffy towels - you should never travel through space without a towel - probably in different shades of green or blue. You will find everything there what a girl really wants to have in bathroom. And maybe there isn't just one bathroom but a lot of them and each on looks differently.
I would love to see some other rooms in the Tradis and not only the control room. It would be fun - at least for me - to have an episode that's just inside the Tardis. Something like a chase of a bad alien through the Tardis where we could see more of the inside of the Tardis. 
And I definitely want to see the swimming pool! You hear me Steven Moffat. I want to see the swimming pool!

Who was your favourite companion of the Doctors 9 to 11?

I've opened a poll which you can find on the left side of this blog.

I want to know which is your favourite companion of the Doctors 9 to 11? 
Most people still see Rose as the only true companion of the Doctor but I think her story has found a good end and sometimes it's just time to move on. I really liked Martha, she brought something fresh to the show. Unfortunately she was only there for one series. Donna was alright but I didn't like her as much as the other too. The new companion Amy Pond is great and there is a big story behind her which still has to be revealed.
I really like Jack and River but I don't have to see them in every Doctor Who episode. It was great that Jack got his own show with Torchwood. The triangle relationship between the Doctor, Amy and Rory is great too.
Well, that's my opinion and I hope you will participate in my poll.
