The Doctor and Others

I admit it. I'm a Whovian from way back. Well, from way back on MY timeline. My Doctor is Tom Baker. I still think he's the best Doctor, but I've been watching the newer Doctor Whos and I've been enjoying the newer Doctors. My sons have been watching with me and some may question that decision as the villains have become scarier, but my boys don't seem to scare easily. They're a lot like me in that respect. I used to watch Vincent Price movies as a kid and LOVED them! What scared me were those darned Sleestax from "The Land of the Lost" in the 70s. Those things that were underground and made that kind of sucking noise? Ugh! Those, the nuclear "The Day After" movie in the 80s and the Daleks from Doctor Who are the only things that have ever given me nightmares. But my sons don't scare, even though I think Daleks are scarier now because they've mastered steps. But I put the TARDIS, the Doctor's ship, on my phone's lock screen and my son calls it the Doctor's box. I thought that was an interesting way of putting it. I told him if he could give me the proper name I'd let him play a game on my phone. Haven't gotten it yet. Yay!
