Hmmmm. I think the best way to sum it up is: 'It is TV show about an alien named the Doctor who travels through time and space and keeps having to save the earth from other aliens' It sounds really cheesy, but it's really good (although it is cheesy at some points, the cheesiness is funny). The nice thing about it is that you can mostly predict what is going to happen in the series, yet they way it happens catches you off guard because the plot twists are completely random. you notice little things that repeat themselves throughout the series, then all of a sudden, the repeated stuff comes together and ends up being a huge deal. (sorry if that rant makes no sense at all. I got a bit carried away)

^ Basically Seriously though, I can't say about the original series' because I've only watched the modern ones (Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctor). But it's great. It started in the 60's (you're sure you've never heard of it before..?) but it restarted in... 200-and something. The Doctor gets lonely of course, so he picks up people along the way to keep him company. You cant help falling in love with his companions- they're amazing. The writing is great, but the most recent season is... well, not as good as it was. New writers and characters and all that. It's not cheesy. It's just... ugh, I just really love this show ok? Try it out. You won't regret it

Haha yes exactly! I totally agree on the reworking of everything. Its losing it's touch. But with rumor of new companions, it will hopefully get better and it restarted in 2005

That was the first episode that gave me nightmares. And the first one that Steven Moffat wrote? Bearing in mind I was quite young in 2005. And my brother, with his creepy love for all things old fashioned, decided to buy a gas mask last week off Ebay. I'm never going to get any sleep. Things were so much simpler in that season

Haha it's scary the first time, but the second time, it's one of re best episodes it's got some of the beat quotes (especially the banana jokes) and you get Jack, who is one of my favorites

So I finished season one and am really mad at the ending. I LOVED Captain Jack and I KNOW that they will go get them because they have to. Since for me it's late at night I can't watch the beginning to season two right now. Is it better?

I wish I could spoil it for you, but... Anyway, that season finale was the best. And it gets even better after that part. Ten/Rose! Yay!

Season 2 is amazing. All of it. I didn't care much for season 3, but you still have a long way to go. Season 2 is the cutest thing ever! Haha
