DOCTOR
WHO 50TH
Well, what can I say about this?
Amazing would be a good place to
start I guess. Admittedly seeing my own Doctor from the past may sort of bias
me, but hey, this is Doctor Who. Let’s be honest here, I’m pre-biased already.
So in case anyone out here hasn’t
seen this yet, and wants to, I will try not to throw any real spoilers out
here. That’s not going to be easy. And
probably hopeless anyway now that I am guessing it is all over the net anyway.
So I may as well give up the spoiler idea I guess. So, let’s make this simple.
They all showed up to do battle. All
13 doctors at one time. Gallifrey has been saved, though lost in time and space
apparently somewhere. Basically, the doctor started at number one, and started
working on a way to save the planet. Yeah, there’s a lot of timey whimey stuff
going on.
But when three doctor’s make an
entrance by blowing a Dalek away (through a picture by being in the past on
gallifrey) and into our world with 3 sonic screwdrivers, and then walk in side
by side, well, you just know things are not going to go well for someone.
And for those that missed it, Hurt did
become the Doctor again by the time it was all over.
Even so, the best for me outside of
the three entering together, and creating mass havoc, was the end. My Doctor.
Tom Baker showed up as a curator, maybe. As usual, the Doctor answers a lot of
questions, only to open a can of a hundred more.
I can’t say I will like the new
doctor yet, but when he came on after the general decided that it couldn’t get
any worse than three of them. His next statement was “I didn’t know when I was
well off. All 12 of them.”
Then
he got an answer I am guessing almost killed him. “No sir, all 13.” And all you
saw was the control panel, and his eyes, and he did not look happy at that
time. So we’ll see. He definitely made an entrance though already, and a damn
good one. Yeah, I’m watching it again as I write this. That makes 5 times now.
The one thing My Doctor made clear
at the end however was the painting. It had two titles; “No More,” and “Gallifrey
Falls.” Both are wrong. The true title is “Gallifrey Falls No More.” And to
hear Tom Baker say it, how he says it, just chills you. Gallifrey lives.
Of course, now that we are off to
hunt down the lost planet of the timelords, who knows what is coming next.
And
for those that missed it, the painting of Gallifrey was on the day it burned,
shortly before. And it is an oil painting in 3d, sort of. It’s Gallifreyan art.
A slice of time used for a picture.
Absolutely amazing. What can I say, they had emotions running everywhere
for all of us Whovians.
Now then, where do the next
regenerations come from. A reward for
saving Gallifrey? Does the system no longer work on regenerations since the Gallifreyan
law is no longer in effect? Will the Minyans return and aid him? A thousand
bloody questions, and no good answers. And this time, I think I will avoid
theorizing, and just enjoy the bloody show. Yeah, that’ll happen won’t it. They
have to do something. Who wants to live in a universe with no Doctor.
BIRTHDAY TIME
We have a good one this week too. He
was born on Nov. 27th, 1955 in Washington D.C. Not a reason really
fior me to say anything about this guy, except one thing, as you will all know
who this is. Happy Birthday Bill Nye.
And as I am beat, and have to get up
way too early to cook, that’s it for now folks. Good to be back though. See you
all soon. And please excuse the rambling nature of this as I am a little out of practice here as I haven't written a word since my last time here. Plus I'm just beat. I'll be back to normal next time folks.
