Sometimes I become obsessed with things. Sometimes it is a book, like the hunger games, or hairy potter. Sometimes it is food, like when I had small english muffin pizzas everyday for dinner for a week. I just like to enjoy a lot of something for awhile. I love book series because you get a chance to really know the characters, and live with them. I miss them greatly when the series ends, or worse when I have to wait months for the next volume to come out.
Lately my obsession has been Dr. Who. Now I admit I am late to the Dr. Who game, since I believe they are currently on season 6 or 7 (of the reboot) but last year at Christmas we got the box set of season 1, and this year we got the David Tennant years, which is 2,3, and 4 plus all the specials. So we started watching and now I am obsessed.
For those of you that aren't familiar with Dr. Who. It is an amazing BBC programme that originally ran from 1963 until 1989. It then rebooted in 2005. We follow the adventures of The doctor, who is the last of the time lords. He travels through time and not unlike the littlest hobo has many adventures and then moves on. Now as a time lord one can regenerated, which is actually a nifty way of continue a show when one no longer wants to play the lead role, hence its very long run.
The amazing thing about the show, is its characters their wit humour, and the precision with which they deal with time travel. I myself am a huge science fiction lover, but I believe the doctor has a great general appeal for those who don't.
I have been watching so much lately that I sometimes talk a little affected. The British really do have way better slang than us "other" English speakers.
So I suggest watching if you aren't already.
