I finally got around to Doctor Who this year after several arguably aggressive recommendations from a dear friend. Before I started watching I did a little research about the show. If this were another blog I would spend several paragraphs explaining how the show was on for decades, and then canceled for a long time and now it's on again but I won't. In this blog you only need to know that the Doctor is a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey in the Kasterborous Constellation and he is a badass eleven times over.
2013 will mark the Fiftieth anniversary of show so picking a single badass moment is not simple. I thought over and picked one arbitrarily from the most recent series. If you haven't seen it you should. A mysterious organazation kidnapped the Doctor's friend Amy. To get her back The Doctor and Amy's husband Rory have just punked an entire army and taken control of a military complex that's floating somewhere in space thousands of years from now. Finally sitting across from one of the main offenders the Doctor is pissed. The delivery of what the Doctor says to Colonel Manton is amazing. The text is below and the YouTube link is even more below.
“I want you to tell your men "run away."Those words. "Run away." I want you to be famous for those exact words. I want people to call you Colonel Runaway. I want children laughing outside your door, 'cause they've found the house of Colonel Runaway. And when people come to you and ask if trying to get to me through the people I love is in any way a good idea, I want you to tell them your name. Look, I'm angry, that's new. I'm not really sure what's going to happen now."
