I've always been a Star Trek: The Next Generation type of girl. During a convention, I went up to Wil Wheaton and confessed my t'ween love for him.

He probably heard it often as he asked me, "You don't love me now?" Of course, my hormones had settled by then, though I said that I did. Love him, that is. I really didn't know what else to say. I guess, "Um, kinda not, but can you autograph my sketchbook anyway?"

A last weekend, I caught a marathon on BBC America showing the first (new) series of Doctor Who and fell in love again with sci-fi tv. I had never seen the earlier episodes. Not even the longest running Fourth Doctor. Sure, I dabbled in a few other shows, namely Stargate SG-1 and Lost, but really I haven't been THIS obsessed since Picard said, "Make it so."

But there is something just fun about Doctor Who. The Ninth Doctor (and first of the new series) is dark, yet oddly sweet sometimes. Like a great dark chocolate. I'd totally jump into the TARDIS with him. He's that older guy who kinda piques your interest because he's just soooo mysterious and has that smile.

Then there is the Tenth Doctor. This is the Doctor that totally made it for me. He's a bit quirky, clever, and just a little sarcastic. He's smart, funny, and just, in the words of Lady Cassandra in his second episode (New Earth), "Foxy."

Now I'm itching for the DVDs (since I KNOW they cut out some bits when they showed it on BBC America). And if I ever so Christopher Eccleson or David Tennant, I'd say "I love you," without the "Used to" bit.

You can purchase Doctor Who - The Complete First and Second Series together in a set online now. Series One is a great intro into the Doctor Who universe with the delectable Christopher Eccleson) and Series Two features the epitome geeky cockiness, David Tennant

They just finished showing the 3rd series (with the Tenth Doctor).... I really can't wait for the continuing adventures. The DVD set is out in November. You can preorder Doctor Who - The Third Series now.

Hm, I guess in the end, Doctor Who is a series where you can imagine yourself having adventures with a quirky, mysterious, foxy guy. He can take you to the far reaches of space and to the past, blast you into the future, and maintain the all important unresolved sexual tension.
