Dara enrolls in Gallfreyan History 101

Ah yes, we have arrived at the point in which Dara posts twice in one day...within minutes. I couldn't bring myself to comment on Doctor Who in that last post; the two topics had nothing to do with each other.

I have always been a Doctor Who fan, and by always I mean for at least four years. I got into the show as most people do: watching an episode and thinking "That made no sense, awesome." As a writer I only enjoy shows that have well developed characters; for example, Sylar from Heroes, Rest in Peace.

My most recent obsession with Doctor who is because of Charlie McDonnell, a Youtuber I have been following for quite some time. The first video I saw of his was Doctor Who? which reminded me of the show, the last episode I had seen at that point was the finale of David Tennant's series. Being as uneducated as I was, I had no idea that someone would be replacing David and one day, when I was watching BBC America, I saw a preview for an episode. Now be aware, I did not get to see the first episode. I might never get the chance to see it, unless I buy the series. The BBC is really great at keeping things from fans.

Oh, on a side note, I only found out about Charlie because of the tumblr Why They're Hot funny how some things work out.

So now I am obsessed with the show. Matt Smith is adorable. No, that's not just the fangirl talking. When I first saw him in the second half of the Don't Blink sequel I was unsure with whether he really was as good looking as I was making him out to be. But when I saw him act, I knew. I was and still am a David fan but Matt brought this new excitement to the screen. When I watched him I felt like I could still see some David in him but he was his own person. I was digging the bow tie, too.

As the producer said, there is only one Doctor, he just has many faces. I love the addition of this new face, a lot.
Now you know how I got into it recently, I'd like to voice my opinion on the most recent episode. Cold Blood was the continuation of The Hungry Earth where Amy was abducted into the earth. I thought it was a good episode and the crack was seen again at the end of the episode. OH, my God, the end of the episode.

SPOILER

Rory dies! I'm not sure if I like that or not. I liked Rory as a character, but not with Amy. I definitely like Eleven and Amy together. Rory was too passive for Amy and her strong will, the last dialogue they really had went a little like this:
Rory: Amy, I thought I lost you forever?
Amy: Why, because I got sucked into the ground? You're so clingy.

Not exactly the best relationship. Also in Amy's Choice Amy's reaction to Rory's death was very stone-like and not very upset. Granted, she did kill herself to be with him again but I knew from the beginning that their relationship was wavering.
With all of that on my mind you would think that I am glad that he's gone, and maybe I am. I think I'm more upset about the crack and how Amy doesn't remember a thing about Rory. That bothers me and I hope that the Doctor does something about it.

Perhaps I will blog again on Saturday, say 10 o'clock?
