I am a whovian through and through and
a bit of a geek. Everyone who knows me is aware of this and they seek
my advice and opinion if there is any major news or gossip announced.
However there are many things that annoy me and many other whovians
when people speak about Doctor Who. So I have decided to write a list
of 5 common mistakes people make when they speak to me about Doctor
Who.
#1. Never call him Doctor Who. His name is
the Doctor and the show is called Doctor Who please don't confuse the
two or I will stop you mid sentence to correct you!
#2. You don't have to be a geek or whovian
to enjoy Doctor Who. Yes a lot of
it is meeting new alien races on new planets but there is also so
much more to Doctor Who. Many times the Doctor is faced with moral
dilemmas and you see such character development from the Doctor and the companions that you fall in love
with them and you don't have to focus on the sci-fi elements but on
the characters themselves.
#3. The
Doctor is a Time Lord who claims he is so old has lost count of his
age (we believe it is around 2,800 years) and therefore it really
annoys me when people say that Peter Capaldi is too old to be the
Doctor. Every Doctors personality is slightly different and so having
actors with a range of ages keeps the show interesting and brings
some variety to the show.
#4.Similarly to the previous point, when people tell me that they have recently started watching Doctor Who and are now whovians but say they started on series 5 because Matt Smith is young and hot. No! A true whovian is loyal to the Doctor and not to an actor. Yes we all have our favourites but a true whovian knows you don't skip 9!
#5. People
who claim that Doctor Who is for children also annoy me. Doctor Who
will make you afraid of shadows, statues and cracks in walls. Tilly
loves Doctor Who and has been watching since she was tiny but I do
know of children slightly older then her that have had nightmares
because of Doctor Who. Doctor Who did do a spin off called the Sarah
Jane Adventures which followed former companion Sarah Jane Smith
while she dealt with aliens on Earth. This was shown on a children's
channel and was aimed at children as it was less scary.
Hopefully
now that I have explained the main mistakes people make about Doctor
Who they will be made less often and maybe I will be able to persuade
more people to watch Doctor Who.
