Doctor Who?

Greetings, internets...

Today, I want to address the subject of Doctor Who. Many of you may have never heard of it, but it's a fantastic piece of British television programming. It's based around a character called the Doctor who is a being from an alien species known as the Timelords. And just what do you suppose a Timelord does? That's right, kids. Those clever bastards get to travel through time. Though, only the Doctor does that anymore because he killed everyone else from Gallifrey (the Timelord's planet), but that's best saved and explained at a later time, especially so considering the fact that Timelords regenerate their bodies a number of times (fourteen, i think, to be specific) and only really REALLY die after the last regenerated body "dies." As a result, there have been many incarnations of the Doctor, each with their own personalities, respectively. Thus, fans tend to have favorite versions of the Doctor, as each is played by a different actor (but you probably already knew that). This has given rise to the phrase "you never forget your first Doctor" and other such things.

At any rate, back to the less-detailed information...Naturally, any good time traveler needs a decent vessel, and that's why the Doctor has his TARDIS, fifth dimensional interior and all (that means it's bigger on the outside than it is on the inside). TARDIS is of course an acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Don't worry that it doesn't make sense. It actually does and you just don't know how time works yet. The Doctor uses his wit, TARDIS, companions, and a nifty-as-all-hell screwdriver to save planet Earth on what is assumed to be a somewhat regular basis, though us regular humans never know anything about it...which is kind of the beauty of the whole thing.

Anyway, I say all this to tell you fine folks that this amazing television program is quite the intriguing piece of pop-culture and that you all should definitely jump on the band wagon (in addition to my band's band wagon...ha...) and grab yourselves some quality time-related entertainment/education. Any questions you have at this point can of course be answered by typing "Doctor Who" into your favorite search engine and clicking the resulting links. Now do as I say and watch this show.
