Thirty Days of Doctor Who meme: Day 23 - 30
I attend a Developmental Biology lecture every Friday afternoon - FOR FUN AND LEARNING YES I DO - and today the professor was talking about REGENERATION. Well, all I could think of the entire 10 minutes he was talking about it was HAVE YOU SEEN DOCTOR WHO and TEN GREW A NEW HAND HE'S LIKE A LIZARD AND HIS HANDY TURNED INTO A HUMAN-BIOLOGICAL CLONE METACRISIS THINGY and DID YOU SEE TEN REGENERATE INTO ELEVEN and OH WOW REGENERATION!!!
So that should be my cue to finish the 30-day DW meme which is seriously overdue!
Day 23 - A Who-Related YouTube Video
The meme has so far lacked attention for Nine, so here's something to make up for it. This is a video made by autumnjoy; it's about the relationship between Nine and Rose, and is set to the song "Never Saw Blue Like That Before". I really like the videos she's done; I tried to look for the other videos she used to make, but none are on youtube and the download links are all expired save one (Megaupload link still works) which is also a Doctor/Rose one. Anyway, enjoy the Nine/Rose one that I managed to find.
Day 24 - Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
Our super trio backstage at the proms. BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME LAUGH.
Day 25 - Favourite Who Actor
Let me first say that I really have grown to adore Matt Smith after episode 1 of Series 5. BUT, David Tennant has got to be my favourite. That enthusiasm that Matty has is multiplied many times in David, and the whole backstory of him wanting to be an actor because of watching Doctor Who is a story I will never tire of. The introduction he wrote for the Specials DVD was marvellous. His devotion and love for the show and the boyish glee he exhibits at all the new experiences you can only achieve when doing Who endears him to me. Although I love him best as the Doctor, he is such a tremendous, marvellous actor outside of Who as well. I am yet to be disappointed by any other role he has been done that I have watched (don't mention Rex, he was good but the writing was not). PLUS, like beingfacetious put it, his smile is cuter than most puppies.
Day 26 - Favourite Who Actress
I had a hard time choosing this. I mean, New Who has had some pretty fabulous actresses so far, companions and guest stars alike. I try to watch other stuff that they've been in, like the time I slogged through I don't know how many hours of Underworld to watch Sophia Myles and seen countless sketches from The Catherine Tate Show, and I do quite adore Billie. As of right now I think Karen Gillan's pretty fantastic because I love what she's doing as Amy Pond, plus she's crazy (the good sort) and so much fun and so gorgeous. (THIS CATEGORY CHANGES OFTEN WITH TIME, IT DOES.)
Day 27 - An Episode You Wish Hadn’t Been Made
Series 5 Episode 9. YOU KNOW THE ONE.
Day 28 - An Episode Idea You Created Yourself
Hahahahahahahaha. My fanfic skills are still in its developing stages so I can't actually say I have a full-fledged story to last an episode. NEXT!
Day 29 - Who You Think Should Be the Next Doctor
An (yet) unknown British actor. Someone who's fresh and new and not been in too many things we've seen but is still very very very good. Basically what Matty was when he was announced to the world as the new Doctor. Surprise me, BBC.
In truth, I could wish for Colin Morgan to be the next Doctor ... he played Jethro in Midnight so I don't know how far you can carry a duplicate face as the new Doctor because only the new companions have been returning actors, not the Doctor. He's Northern Irish but he does a very believable English accent. Still, he's the main star of BBC's Merlin, and even though most people who love Who will like Merlin (like I do), to be two leads in two of the BBC's most current popular shows? He is a VERY GOOD ACTOR, though. So who knows? I could also wish Bradley James who's also from Merlin to play the Doctor, but no. Too much pretty going on there, which I love, but I don't know ... won't seem to fit what we think the Doctor is like, does he? BUT I LOVE THE PREEEEETTTTTY.
