The countdown is on, our beloved Doctor in his raggedy man, imaginary friend, fez wearing incarnation is coming to America in more ways than one on the 23rd of this month. Devina is all set to start the recaps for the following Monday, and we’ve got a couple Who-related surprises in store this week.
I apologize in advance to the non-Whovians, although, GET ON THE TRAIN, PEOPLE. The Doctor gets out of scrapes because he’s bookish and clever. Time Lords, they’re just like us!
So today’s poll question is three pronged. 1. Who is your favorite Doctor? 2. Who is your favorite companion? 3. Which is your favorite episode? and D. What’s your favorite Who quote?
1. Ten. Obviously. I’ve also only seen the episodes since 2005, except a handful of the older ones I’ve found on Netflix.
2. Donna Noble.
3. Blink.
4. “Because I’m clever.” I even have it on a coffee mug.

1) TEN, because he’s the first one I knew.
2) Don’t hate- Rose. Yes, I am a smooshy romantic shipper. WHAT OF IT.
3) Oh, I fail at favorites when given more than a few options, I really do. But The Girl In The Fireplace is what got me hooked.
4) I CANNOT CHOOSE.
Man, I’m gonna have to find a way to keep up with all y’all who have tvs and active, legal ways to view new Who. I cannot wait until dvds.
Ooh, and the Vincent episode. That one was beautiful.
I usually buy the iTunes subscription, because those come out the day after the episode airs on BBCAmerica, but so far there isn’t one available for this season. If they don’t do one I don’t know what I’m going to do.
1. Nine
2. Tied between Donna and Sarah Jane
3. Another tie: “The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances” and “Human Nature/Family of Blood.” And “Blink,” but everyone says that.
D. “Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!”
I hate hate hate being the bearer of bad news, but semi-reliable internet rumor has it that Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane on Doctor Who/The Sarah Jane Adventures) passed away today. :(
The BBC is reporting it.

I’m (clearly) new to the whovian business but I know that this is not something that will pass quietly. The comment section is heartbreaking.
This is heartbreaking, a real blow.
Here’s the official statement:

Oh NO! She was lovely. =[ And I adore Sarah Jane. R.I.P, Ms. Sladen… you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
My heart just broke. I purposely didn’t read any comments before I answered, and Sarah Jane was tied for my favorite companion. That’s just awful.
Confession time: I have never seen any Dr. Who.
*hangs head in shame*
That said, I love Tom Baker’s Dr. Who just for the hair and scarf.
