The 8th Doctor

Well it's finally happening. I'm bring Doctor Who into this blog.

Doctor Who is, without a doubt, one of my favorite TV shows going today. I only started seriously watching it a year ago, but I have been sucked in. And I've seen it happen to so many people the same way it happened to me. This is a perfect example.

For those who haven't watched the show, Doctor Who is a story of a man who is a Time traveler. He travels around the universe in a blue police box called the TARDIS helping people. When he dies he regenerates into a new physical body. This is how the show continues on. That is the best way I can describe it although others could probably do a better job than me.

In about 3 days, the show will have its 50th Anniversary episode. It's been built up as the biggest thing ever on the BBC and if you're a fan of the show like me, you are probably freaking the hell out cause its going to be incredible.

The writers and makers of the show have had a lot of fun leading up to this big event. The ending of

the 7th season was a huge cliff hanger, with John Hurt turning around and introducing himself as "The Doctor." People were freaking out, wondering how he could be the Doctor since they've already announced that Peter Capaldi is going to be the 12th Doctor. It was later revealed that John Hurt is an earlier reincarnation of the Doctor.

And then that made people angry because it messed up the continuation between the old series, ending with Paul McGann and the new series that started with Christopher Eccelston. (Disclaimer: The first part of this post probably won't make sense to you if you're not caught up with the show)

But then there was a mini episode released that surprised everyone by bringing back Paul McGann who played the 8th Doctor in a 1996 TV movie.
