Thirteen years ago today, and in spite of those who said it couldn’t (or shouldn’t) be done, Doctor Who finally returned to our screens. And as a nice little gift, the BBC created a playlist of some of the most memorable moments from the past thirteen years. And being a Doctor Who fan, I naturally…

Of course they’re Cybermen. Any fool can see that.
I’ve been working VERY HARD to stay away from Doctor Who spoilers as much as possible. I’ve abandoned my Tumblr, I’ve unfollowed all the Doctor Who things on Pinterest, and I’ve checked into Twitter maybe a handful of times in the last five months or so. I’ve been suffering a fair amount of Doctor Who…
Day 26: Favorite Planet (Classic Edition)
My knee-jerk instinct on this was to say Gallifrey or Skaro, but that felt like cheating. Those are the obvious ones. I also considered Telos, but rejected it for the same reasons. There are so many to choose from, it was difficult to narrow down a selection. But one name always kept popping back into…
On Perspective, Objectivity, and Conversation Starters
Kat’s take on that now infamous i09 article and the importance of distinguishing Best from Favorite.
Day 17: Saddest Moment (New Who Edition)
There are so many choices for saddest moment in Doctor Who. It sometimes catches me by surprise, because on the surface the show is a lot of fun. I’m sure to non-Whovians it looks like a show meant for kids that has cool aliens and time travel, etc. But a lot of the show’s themes…
Day 16: Favorite Monster (New Who Edition)
There are a lot of great monsters in Doctor Who, from classics like the Daleks and Cybermen to newer favorites like the Weeping Angels. They are an essential part of the show. Without monsters, the Doctor’s adventures would be a little aimless. What would he do if he didn’t need to constantly save people? The…
Day 15: Ship That Could Never Be (New Who Edition)
Hi everyone! I took some time off of the Challenge because of a busy week at work. Then it turned into almost two weeks. Oops. Does anyone else suffer from writing inertia? When you write every day, it’s easier to keep writing, but when you stop it’s hard to get started again. That’s just what…
Day 14: OTP (New Who Edition)
I didn’t plan for the OTP (one true pairing) to be on Valentine’s Day, I promise. I’m not generally a sappy and romantic person (although this post will probably contradict that). I feel like it’s a bit cliché and predictable, but my OTP is Rose and the Doctor Specifically, the Tenth Doctor. What can I…
Day 13: An Episode You Would Change the Ending To (New Who Edition)
It’s hard to think about changing episodes in Doctor Who, since usually that would have major repercussions for other events down the line. I thought of several episodes that I might change, but didn’t know what I would change them to. So, I picked an episode that I think needs more resolution. Listen In this…
Day 12: Favorite Outfit of the Doctor (New Who Edition)
You just audibly gasped just now. I heard it. “New Who Edition??” No, I didn’t label it wrong. And yes, you did read it correctly. Erin and I thought we’d be a bit cheeky today and mix things up a bit. For reasons. Picking a favorite Doctor outfit is nearly as impossible as claiming a…
