Doctor Who: The Doctors United

Fifty years ago, the BBC debuted a show about an alien who traveled through time and space with his granddaughter in a blue police box. It was designed to teach some history and science lessons. No one thought it would last. But it did. It did more than last—it ingrained itself into British culture. And then it made its way across the pond, becoming a part of “nerd culture.” It faded away for a while but came back with a roar, this time exploding across the world. Eleven men have played the Doctor and countless others played his companions and enemies.

And now it’s celebrating 50 years in style. To the point it almost overshadowed the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. Note I said almost. So, how did Doctor Who celebrate? Let’s reverse the polarity, fire up the sonics and set the TARDIS into motion for…

Day of the Doctor or "THE FEELS! THE FEELS!"

Bad Wolf guides the War Doctor through his biggest decision ever. Ten courts Elizabeth I trying to fight the Zygons. And Eleven joins Clara and the Brig's daughter to solve a mystery. But they all gather together to save Gallifrey. ALL of them.
