Did you miss me? Just kidding. I’m sorry I suddenly disappeared last week. We had a family emergency last weekend and it’s taken a while to recover. I won’t bore you with the details. Just know that I’m working on catching up finally and hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly! Now, back to the…

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…
Day 11: Favorite Costume/Clothing (Classic Edition)
There is only one correct answer for today’s prompt. Loads of companions have had nifty wardrobes over the years. But no one can compete with the fabulousness of Zoe Heriot’s. Specifically her sparkly jumpsuit. I think it has to be one of the most iconic companion looks of all time. Just as much (appropriately) as…
Day 10: Favorite Relationship Between Two Non-Doctor Characters (Classic Edition)
Despite what some may argue, early Doctor Who really focused a lot on relationships. Maybe it wasn’t a conscious decision by the writers. Or not right off, anyway. But as the series went on, they did a great deal of exploring the dynamics of different relationships. The Grandfather/Granddaughter relationship between the Doctor and Susan. The Student/Teacher relationship…
Day 9: Two Characters Who Have Never Met, But Should. (Classic Edition)
I’m cheating today. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist. The answer that instantly came to me was to put my two all-time favorite companions together. And I have because in my head I have this entire AU going where Clara Oswald (or one of her echoes) worked for UNIT in the 1970s. My reasons are long,…
Day 8: Favorite Quote (Classic Edition)
There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things which act against everything we believe in. They must be fought. -The Second Doctor (“The Moonbase”, 1967) If ever you needed one quote to sum up basically all of Doctor Who, this one does a pretty good job of it.* It…
Day 7: Favorite TARDIS Interior (Classic Edition)
I’m excited today because this is an easy one. There’s absolutely no contest for me on this, and that is saying something. My favorite design for the TARDIS interior for ALL of Doctor Who is the original. It’s a thing of beauty. Clean lines and ultra-futuristic, it’s no wonder Ian and Barbara were so stunned when…
Day 6: Favorite Time Period (Classic Edition)
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 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 (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…
