Doctor Who

Time in sci-fi is normally a very ordinary thing. It isn't explored by very many sci-fi shows. But there is one show that is known around the world. That show is Doctor Who. Doctor Who is a show about a man who travels time, but he is from a species known as the time lords. The main character in the show Doctor Who is the Doctor.

 There are 11 known lives of the Doctor, and there are several possible unknown lives of the Doctor. The current version of the Doctor is played by Matt Smith. The Doctor is known for several things.

First of all is his sonic screwdriver. It is amazing! It can open doors, do complicated equations, run programs, analyze things, and even manipulate electronics. If you just glance at it, you might mistake it for a pen.
Another thing that he's known for is the TARDIS. TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It takes the form of a blue police public call box permanently, due to a broken chameleon circuit. The TARDIS makes a sound like no other sound. The iconic sound is simply the Doctor leaving the brakes on through his journeys through space and time. There are two other things that the Doctor is well known for; his companions and his enemies.
The Doctor has had 29 companions since the launch of the show in 1963. The most recent companion on the show is Clara. Some of the more recent companions are; Rose, Donna, Amy, Rory, Riversong, and Clara.

But the thing that the Doctor is known for the best are his enemies. There are the Daleks, creatures that live in metal armor and kill ruthlessly in order to gain a world. There are the Cybermen, robots that were once people. There are the Weeping Angels, statues of angels that come alive and try to kill you when you're not looking. There are many more enemies that the Doctor faces on his travels. Look for more information in a future post. You never know what he'll encounter next! To be continued. Thanks, Aidan.
