Kiroku Tensha Eriko goes Doctor Who - A look back at possibly the best series of Modern Who to date: Series 9

Following the momentum of my "look back" at Series 8 of Doctor who in my last post, this time I review what could possibly be the best series of Modern Doctor Who to date - Series 9.

As I have said, Series 8, despite being a great "12th Doctor Starter Pack", was a difficult and turbulent one.  Considering that statement, there was virtually no way I have telegraphed that the sophomore season of Peter Capaldi/Twelfth Doctor will turn out to be as one, if not, the best Series of Doctor Who I have ever seen since the revival (2005 - Series 1). Yes! It was great, like a movie sequel that turned out to be better than the first one!

Series 9 dealt largely with the themes of death, loss, and even immortality. It also showed us a little bit of a toned down Doctor from last season as Peter Capaldi's Doctor this time has a more down-to-earth persona, but still has the "Grumpy One" vibe he had from his debut. One thing to note about Series 9 is it was a galore of multiple part episodes which was a first for Doctor Who since 2005.

Without further ado, here is my take on Series 9:

Kiroku Tensha Eriko goes Doctor Who - My take and look back at Series 8

Okay, as promised in the last post - as a sort of making up to lack of articles - I will be rolling out some Doctor Who-themed articles for the coming days leading up to the start of a new season of the program (Series 10).  It is a given that fans will be excited for the much-awaited return of the program after a little hiatus, but it never hurts to have some little bit of a look back, don't you think?

So, for the first of my "making up" articles, I will be having a look back at Series 8.  This series marks the first full season of the Twelfth Doctor (after the regeneration from Eleventh) in the episode "The Time of The Doctor."  A look back to this season, is like an examination of Peter Capaldi's first season as The Doctor and the changes it brings to the show in whole and in part.

Without further ado, here are my two cents for Series 8: 

Doctor Who goes for 10! (and Im Excited as Hell)

I guess the best way to contain my excitement and to make up for some lost time is to make some new articles about the show, right?

With all the things that life throws at me nowadays, it makes my days so fast-paced that nothing seems to excite the hell outta me.

Well, that was what I thought until I realized, I discounted that "Doctor Who" still exists in this world of ours huh?

More Like a Sonic "Precision" Screwdriver - The 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver Kit

"IMO, this thing should be called a Sonic "Precision" Screwdriver"

If you track back, I had a post some time ago about giving my little sister a "Doctor Who-related" gift. In that case, I gave her a Mini Light-Up TARDIS Kit (check that blog post HERE)

It seems to be that since we are Whovians, we cannot seem to get enough of Doctor Who stuff. I, for one, really wanted to have a "Sonic Screwdriver" replica of my own because I believe that besides the TARDIS,  the sonic screwdriver is the next iconic thing associated with the Doctor and Doctor Who itself. Problem is, Sonic Screwdriver replicas are rare and hard to find and to add to that, if you ever find one they are a little bit on the pricey side.

Fortunately, when I dropped by a newly opened hobby shop at our locale and while browsing at their lineup of Doctor Who merchandise, I saw the new stock of Running Press Mega Mini Kits and Lo and Behold, there is this Mini replica of the 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver in them.

Enthralled - How I became a "Doctor Who" fan (the reasons)..and will continue to be one for a long time

All of time and space; everywhere and anywhere; every star that ever was. Where do you want to start?

As I have said in some of my posts, I am just a newly-converted Whovian (about nine months and counting) and in line with that, I will be writing this blog post as a (sort of) celebration of my conversion to the fandom and also, a look back at how I got to be hooked to the show in the first place.

The TARDIS has landed at the Terraces – A visit at the Filbar’s Ayala Fairview Terraces Branch

“If you want a quick snap or “Selfie” with a life-sized TARDIS, then you gotta drop by at this Filbar’s Outlet!”

It is obvious (if you track back with my previous posts) that I am a Whovian and being one, what I would love to see and take pictures with are things that are related to the Doctor Who universe. On top of that list of course, is having a snap with a TARDIS replica, a BIG one specifically. Unfortunately, some of those can only be found when there are conventions of sorts and finding one is even a hit or miss on those conventions, so as bad as it may sound, it is basically hard to find one, let alone have a picture taken with one..

Well, not anymore, take a look at this picture below...

The Doctor is In! The Old is the New

"As old as he may look, he is the NEW doctor"

Yes, I look OLD, but I feel NEW

 In five days' time (or four, depending on your time zone), a new season or more appropriately, "Series", of the world's longest running science fiction television show - Doctor Who - will premiere. For a lot of Whovians (include me on that list), the long wait is over ever since the Christmas Special that ended the previous Series...

The Light-Up Tardis Kit: A Small Blue Box

“It is smaller..than my Mini Smartphone”

Fact is, I am a “Whovian”, a newly-christened Whovian.

For the benefit of those who do not know, a Whovian is what the fans of the longest-running British Science Fiction Series, Doctor Who, call themselves. It is my little sister who converted me to being a Whovian earlier this year (Oh my little sis, she always introduce me to new things, especially, TV series and stuff). She made me watch one “Special” and the rest is history.

Now, to give back something to my little sis, I decided I will get her something related to Doctor Who, which is technically, an official merchandise. What did I get her? A miniature of the Doctor’s Time Machine – The TARDIS, a Light-Up Tardis Kit.
