July 15th, 2012: Con homework

WARNING!! THIS POST WILL CONTAIN ONLY INFORMATION ABOUT DOCTOR WHO!!! You have been warned and informed.

This weekend began the beginning of my 'homework' for the Doctor who convention I'm going to in February.  I've seen all of the new Who but I've only seen some of the Classic Doctor Who.  So Chad has been so kind to help me find episodes that will be helpful for me to know more about who are going to be guests.

We watched The Space Museum yesterday and The Chase today.  I must say that I enjoy the 1st Doctor so much more now over the ones where he isn't so up tight and radiating mean vibes.  I had mentioned that to Chad and he said that after his Granddaughter Susan left the show he got much nicer. I've only seen a few episodes with Susan and I can see why.  She is sooooo dramatic.  I have a hard time seeing her being someone's favorite companion.

Anyone out there like her as a companion? Maybe I just haven't seen that many of her episodes to know for sure.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to completely avoid anything that has to do with her.  I'm more than willing to give her a shot.  I've done a tiny bit of research and saw that she does have some comics with her in it and maybe she would be less annoying in that. Ha!

Any way, I digress.  I've gotten off topic.  We watched The Chase to see the first appearance of Steven Taylor who was played by Peter Purves and he is attending the convention as a guest.  The American accents in that episode were a hoot.  Peter Purves side character with his southern accent was funny too.  Probably not as amusing as the tour guide guy whose accent I couldn't really place.

I think the best part was the fact that he had a mascot called HiFi that is a panda. I'm thinking I'll have to bring my panda with me to Gally. : )

Oh! Can't forget.  Through the grape vine called Twitter I found out that one of the new episodes of Doctor Who is going to be Dinosaurs on Space Ships.  That's just silly, but I'm interested in seeing it.

Let's just be honest, I'm just ready for Doctor Who to start again.
