So I just begun watching Dr. Who (the new series) Season One and that was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Not going to lie I almost cried and I never cry. I don't think I've ever seen a movie or TV show episode as sad as that before. My energy is drained. Good think I have a cherry flavored Xenergy drink the official drink of the UFC  |

Yeah that was one of the best stories of the 9th Doctor.

Definitely one of the season's highlights, both establishing some of the rules of time travel in the post-Time War era while simultaneously telling a really lovely little heartfelt story. Also love the moment where the Doctor compares his existence to that of the married couple. Glad you're getting into the series, and hope you enjoy the rest as well!
Just want to gush for a moment about the author, Paul Cornell. Fantastic writer, and a lovely guy to boot. He stuck one of my animations on his blog once, and when I mentioned how much it meant to me a few years later at a convention, he actually remembered it and thanked me for it!
He's a fantastic writer, as the episode proves, but his other stuff is well worth exploring, whether it be the novels and audios he did for Doctor Who, or his comic work, which is also well renowned. Demon Knights was one of the highlights of DC's New 52. For anyone who wants to get into the Big Finish Who audios, I'd highly recommend "Circular Time", which is an anthology of four stories featuring the 5th Doctor and Nyssa. Has a bit of sci-fi, a neat little historical with David Warner playing Isaac Newton, a smaller-scale story with plenty of emotion, and a bit of a continuity fest for fans of that era. It's a nice overview of what the audios are capable of.

You think that's bad, just wait til you get to the final episode of Season Two. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen it, and it still gets me tearing up when I watch it.

"Doctor"
No abbreviations.

"Doctor" No abbreviations. Go back and look at the end credits of An Unearthly Child and see who William Hartnell played.  |
