Top Ten Things I Love about Doctor Who

Last autumn I started watching Doctor Who after months of being told to by my "friends" and "family". ;) Finally I relented and it now has become my favorite TV show. :) If you are lucky enough to be my friend on Facebook you will see that I talk as much about Dr. Who on there as I do about Jane Austen and J.R.R. Tolkien here one my blog. However, today my blog breaks that trend and gives you the top ten things I love about Dr. Who.  Disclaimer right off the bat, this is the only sci-fi show I've ever watched and I'm actually not very familiar with Sci-fi in general (Star Wars, Ender's Game) so this is from a non-sci-fi geek who is just enjoying a great show. :)

1. Number one! The Doctor! Duh! It's kind of important if the main character is amazing! My favorite portrayal of the Doctor currently is that done by Matt Smith but I enjoy all of them. I enjoy the Doctor because he is compassionate, caring, fun and quite dorky. :)
2. Then of course his great companions! My favorites are probably Amy and Rory followed by Clara and then Donna but I like Martha too. They're so caring but quirky in their own way but all with their own issues. It's great to see how they grow as characters throughout the story. 
3. The T.A.R.D.I.S. The space ship with an attitude! 
4. The Weeping Angles- That actually is more of a love-hate relationship. They're my favorite villains but oh my goodness they're scary! My Dad got us a weeping angel mask and I tell you what when you have a little sibling sneak up behind you wearing that and you unknowingly turn around and see that it is terrifying! 
5. The historical characters the Doctor meets- The historical character episodes aren't my absolute favorites but I do enjoy them... especially the Agatha Christie one as she is one of my favorite authors and the references throughout that episode are hilarious! 
6. River Song! Not really a companion but she belongs on this list somewhere so here she goes. River is one of my favorite characters in Doctor Who. She's an interesting compliment to the Doctor that I would have never conceived but really works. Some of my favorite lines from Doctor Who are from her including, "Spoilers" and "Hello Sweetie". I may or may not say "Hello Sweetie" when I answer my phone (only when I know the person obviously). 
7. The Silence- Great villains and I really get a kick out of all of those memes with them. Maybe those memes are actually what I really love about the Silence. P.S. For those Whovians reading this, I totally made tally marks on my arms for April 23rd! 
8. The Sonic Screwdriver- It can work on anything but wood! 
9. I also love the sanctity held for life in the show. That's refreshing to see. 
10. And finally I love Doctor Who because of the great witty writing that makes me laugh every episode. :)

I didn't know how on earth I can give you a good synopsis of the show so if you're absolutely confused right now, just watch the show! ;) Thanks for reading! :)
