Doctor Who is so many things. It’s humor, love, loss, and all of space and time. The Doctor, an amazing seemingly senseless mysterious man, has lived nearly a thousand years and has seen everything unimaginable. He lived through a great war and is the last of his kind. He lost everyone in the war but somehow moved on. He made human companions (his name for them), but they were his friends, his family. He saved species, worlds, planets, even the universe, but he still thought that even the most unimportant people are important. The Doctor is strange and different and easy to love.
Doctor Who is not just some Sci-Fi show. It’s not just a strange man traveling in a police telephone box, who saves people and aliens with his companions and his sonic screwdriver. It is about everybody having an impact on something, about being human, less than human, and even more than human. Doctor Who is about friendship, love, and loss. It is about moving on from what you feel like is the end.
Doctor Who isn’t the most popular or most watched show, but it is the most honest show. It has strange weird characters that have a history you believe and can relate to. It shows in every single episode that everyone matters even the most insignificant. It has characters that will go to great lengths to help the doctor, to stay with him and travel, to do anything for him, and it makes viewers wonder what is it about this man that can make a woman walk the earth and spread his word, or a little girl wait years for her “imaginary” friend to come back and still wait after. What is it in him that makes someone leave a safe life on earth and go to places unknown?
