D: Doctor

Go on. Ask which one! Ask!

This is me, grinning because you said it.

I'm still grinning.



The TARDIS is a lot like a book.

An ultra pass to anywhere in space and time

Bigger on the inside

Box shaped

Maybe that's why I'm still grinning a little. Maybe that's why I was devastated when a certain pair of aquatic companions departed from it and even more devastated this last Christmas when bow ties were no longer a part of its main resident's attire.

Maybe.

But my devastation was short lived because it is the constant whirlwind of change that has kept the show thriving all these years and made it into what it is now. And that's kind of like . . . well any story. You can't progress the plot and characters if you keep them in the same place all the time. That's how you get infamously bad sequels.

Actually, that's also a lot like life. Movement. Change. Run toward it before it gets away from you.

Yes, definitely run. A lot.

So here's to the dance of life, experience, and constantly writing and re-writing stories. They need to be told so tell them.

But no spoilers please.

    1. I love the picture too! Van Gogh is amazing even when it's an imaginary Van Gogh.

  3. Yours is the second blog I've found focusing on the The Doctor. I love the show too, so I can't complain. I'm also a writer. If you're interested, I've picked an obscure Greek myth every day of the challenge. It's great inspiration.

    1. Greek myths are fascinating and obscure ones even better.

  6. Can you believe? I have never watched one episode of the Doctor. I think it is the change in lead actors. I get attached to one performance. Fun post.

    1. I didn't watch it for years for that very same reason but then once I saw one episode it was all over . . .

  7. A lovely blog. And I enjoyed your thoughtful poetry.

    Love Doctor Who. Liked DT better than MS, but either is good.

    I am also an A-Z Challenge participant.

  8. Awesome. I love the connection between the TARDIS and the books. And agree about stories needing to be told.

    I believe we need stories to help us make sense of the world and teach us how to behave.

    Hard to choose a favorite from among the last three, they're all so different, and so, well, "Doctor."

    1. That should be a phrase "I'd sooner choose a favorite Doctor"
