I love The Doctor!

So I am a Whovian... (a whovian, by the way, are fans of the UK TV series, Doctor Who) sometimes I feel I'm the only one here in Singapore... Anyways, I stumbled upon The Doctor one day on BBC Entertainment and I was hooked... And then when Christopher Eccleston became David Tennant....

<sigh!> Ah, DT... I fell in love, well, infatuated would be a better word... But he is awesome!!! Then I found out he's scottish... My dream man... All the things I loved all rolled into one man... He's cute, sexy, kind of geeky, appears to be quite funny, he can sing and, most of all, scottish! Yums!!! His scottish accent makes me quiver... Anyways, it goes without saying that I was all the more hooked on The Doctor... Naturally, i imdb'd the dude and tried to see what else he had done (btw, cant wait for Fright Night 2011!)... Much to my surprise, he was Barty Crouch, Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire... I had to watch the movie again cos all those youtube snippets just were not enough for me... And I made a funny, little observation...

Just when The Doctor makes an appearance in Harry Potter, the Weasleys pitched a tent which was coincidentally bigger on the inside... I laughed with excitement at my funny little discovery and then suddenly realised there was no one I could share this with, that would get it... I just laughed out loud to myself in my room... Kind of sad and pathetic, but anyway, it is what it is...

So I ahem caught up on all the Doctor Who series until the Tenth Doctor regenerated into Matt Smith... Then I couldnt bear to watch.. My first reaction to Matt Smith was.. Noooooo, i cannot bear to watch Doctor Who without David Tennant... So I watched all the Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures series and, finally, when Matt Smith was to appear on SJA, I braced myself and watched... I found that he was just loony and weird enough  to check out... So I went back to The Doctor and caught myself up on the start of his series... And now, not that i love DT any less but, im loving Matt Smith as The Doctor as well... and with Amelia Pond, the Ponds, i love saying it the way he does... I also love the new storylines and the music, especially his own theme song... I cant wait till aug 27 when the 2nd part of the series starts up again... At the end of the day, Matt Smith is a pretty cool guy, seeing his interviews, etc... I guess everything has its time and i love the new doctor a lot but when they started re-runs with the 9th and 10th Doctor on BBC again, i enjoyed every repeat episode... 

Also through my surfing on The Doctor, i found Charlie McDonnell who does youtube vids for a living... he is a very cute and quirky kid in the UK who, with his friends, created a genre called Trock music, which is Time Lord Rock... love the music especially their version of the 11th doctor's theme... 

I guess you never know what new things you can discover that links to things you already knew... I love finding things out and connecting them...
