Before we get started, I have to ask. Have you read Erin’s post for today? If you haven’t, then you need to. Our resident physics professor is in and gives us a very cheerful view of her favorite New Who time period. My answer, however, is not as sciencey as Erin’s. I am not sciencey….

Day 6: Favorite Time Period (New Who Edition)
This is one item on the list that I came up with, and I meant it as “favorite time period that they have traveled to” instead of, say, a certain year of the show. Sorry for any ambiguity there. The Doctor certainly seems to spend a lot of time on Earth in whatever the current…
Day 5: Funniest Character (Classic Edition)
I’ve spent several days now mulling this one over and come to the conclusion that it’s an impossible choice. As it’s his show, choosing the Doctor (in any incarnation) seems a bit unfair. But when you look at the companions, they all had funny moments from time to time as well. Well, nearly all of…
Day 4: Favorite Alien Race (New Who Edition)
I’m really bummed that Hulu and Netflix have gotten rid of all their Doctor Who episodes. I never bought any DVDs or downloads because I (perhaps foolishly) thought I could always count on Hulu. It would make this challenge a lot easier if I could go back and watch old episodes to check on things….
Day 4: Favorite Alien Race (Classic Edition)
Okay. Technically, the prompt is “Favorite Alien Race/Alien Race You Would Like to Meet.” But I’m editing it a bit for today. A few months back, I went on a rant about 10 Classic era monsters I want back. Well, everything I said there still holds true. And I can easily think of at least 10 more…
Day 3: My First Doctor (Classic Edition)
I’m going to preface this by saying that it’s getting a tiny bit embarrassing that Erin’s answers have been somewhat varied by era, whereas I seem to be stuck in the early 1970s. However, if I wasn’t still stuck there today, my answer wouldn’t be completely honest. My first Classic Doctor, and, in fact, my first…
Day 3: Your First Doctor (New Who Edition)
Nothing to decide for this one, yay! I am planning a separate post about how I got interested in Doctor Who so I’ll keep this short for now. The first episode I saw was Voyage of the Damned, with David Tennant as the 10th doctor. Yep, that’s my first doctor. Kat is continually baffled by…
Day 2: Favorite Male Companion (Classic Edition)
Though the list of male companions is considerably shorter, today was another tough decision. Or at least, it could’ve been. The criteria are the same as yesterday. Does the companion get to be more than a “damsel in distress” or simply someone for the Doctor to explain things to? Does the companion get to be clever and solve…
Day 2: Favorite Male Companion (New Who Edition)
For me, this brings up the issue of how ‘companion’ is defined. If it includes everyone who has ever traveled in the Tardis, then the list of companions is quite long. If we limit it to characters who traveled with the Doctor for a significant amount of time, that narrows it down a bit. The…
Day 1: Favorite Female Companion (Classic Edition)
Choosing a favorite companion is like being asked to choose between your children. It just can’t be done. So when Erin and I put this challenge together, I already knew there would be a fair amount of agonizing in my future. How can you possibly choose only one favorite? How can you land on a single name and block…
