Brief Guide to a Gallifreyan

              Exterior of a Gallifreyan is identical to Humans.  The Doctor's 7Th incarnation had a very uncertain eye color, which could be a Gallifreyan thing or something unique to the 7Th Doctor.
          

             An average Gallifreyan was superior to any human even at their peak.  Gallifreyans could survive falls and other harmful situations which would shatter human bones.  Another inhuman ability is being able to survive electric shocks that would prove fatal to humans.  Gallifreyans could survive extremely low temperatures because of a "souped-up metabolism"  Gallifreyans could also survive extreme heat.  An amazing thing about a Gallifreyan is their ability to live through subzero temperatures and extremely low pressure of vacuum for about six minutes.  A very useful ability of a Gallifreyan is being able to to absorb harmful doses of radiation and expel it out of their bodies in a form harmless to humans.                                                      

You should've seen it that old planet.  The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine.  The leaves on the trees were silver and when they caught the light every morning, it looked like a forest on fire.

 There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.

                 

Matt Smith and the Olympic Flame

       I never thought I'd see Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor) carrying the Olympic flame through Cardiff.

The Saddest Doctor Ever

      I've never seen the Doctor this sad.

The Companions

      

Through the regenerations the Doctor has had many companions that travel with  him and provide a view of the Doctor.  Each companion brings a different mood or life to the Doctor.           The main reason I think the Doctor always gets a new companion is because he is lonely.

Amelia Jessica "Amy" Pond
      
       Amelia, or Amy, met the Doctor when he crashed around her 21 century cottage.  One of the Doctors entering lines were him asking her for apples.  She brought him in, tried to feed him, and he left.  During the 12  years he was gone, Amy dreamt and loved her dolls she made of her "Raggedy Doctor."


       Amy has real sassy but passionate attitude and will do anything for the Doctor.   Amy is a Scottish flirt, always flirting with the Doctor and anyone else who comes along.  The Doctor once described the both of them together like a brother and sister, Amy the "annoying little sister."

Donna Noble

          
          Donna is probably my favorite companion.  She met the Doctor when she suddenly appeared in the TARDIS on her wedding day.  The Doctor tried hard to return her to the chapel on time but in the end the groom ended up working for the emperor Racnoss who was planing to feed her to her children.


          Unlike all the other companions so far she had no desire to be in an romantic relationship with the Doctor.  She and the Doctors relationship is strictly friendly.  Once the Doctor told her that he wanted "a mate," her reply, "well you ain't mat'in with me, mate."  Something unique about her is that she refused to travel with the Doctor when he first offered but an entire season later they meet together and she finally goes with him.  She makes me think spunky, free, sweet, and fun loving.  

              




Martha Jones


             Martha first Knew the Doctor as John Smith.  They met when he pretended to be a patient in a hospital that she worked in.  The Hospital rapidly appeared on the moon where aliens called the Judoon searched for non-human life forms putting the Doctor in trouble, but in the end Martha came to the rescue earning her place in the TARDIS.


            Martha is so sweet and she is willing to risk her life for anyone--including the Doctor.  She is extremely brave and has risked her life several times to save the world and the universe.  She is one of the only companions who left willingly to save earth.  After serving with the Doctor she occasionally appears in Torchwood and has a full time secret job in New York.

Rose Tyler

        Rose Tyler met the Doctor when she returns to her work one night only to find a fellow coworker killed by The Living Plastic and the Doctor running away from a bomb he had planted in the building to destroy the plastic. In the end the Doctor is impressed and asks here to travel through space with him, she refuses and he disappears.  Moments later he returns and tells her he travels in time--she immediately comes.  She leaves the Doctor when she is sucked into a parallel universe.  Throughout future series she returns often.


       Rose is probably the Doctors favorite companion.  He loved her and he still does.  Rose is kind and compassionate.  She is not perfect but she understood the Doctor and would do anything for him.  To me she is independent and care-free.  Traveling with the Doctor brought her close to him.  Rose has seen the Doctor regenerate unlike any other companion.

Chameleon Circuit

      The other day, I was speaking with Willow the Clever (see comments on Top 10 Doctor Who Creatures, Hello, and Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, for reference) who introduced me to the interesting band called Chameleon Circuit.  Several of the songs that I listened to were a bit loud, rock style, and repettitive. There are some songs I really liked, for example, "The Doctor is Dying," "Kiss the Girl," "Blink," and "Everything is Ending. "  

            What's you favorite out of the songs below?  Your answers will be replied to and appreciated!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed Something Blue

           This classic riddle is a real mind twister.  In recent episodes of Doctor Who, it has been used, referred to, and answered several different times. I have found a few answers to solve this riddle.

One answer is, of course, The TARDIS.  She can travel in time and space making her "Something Old, Something New" and she was "Borrowed" by the Doctor.  Her magnificent Blue Police Box disguise makes her a perfect answer for this riddle.

Something Old, Something New

Something borrowed, something blue 

     Where does this term come from?  Actually its an old wedding tradition.  Each item in this poem represents a good luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them  on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something Old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something New" means optimism and hope for the brides new life ahead. "Something Borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.
