Dr. Who – Sci-fi fantasies

Hmm…this one is a hard decision for me. Well, partly. Billie and Freema are my two favorite Doctor Who companions since the relaunch of the series in 2005. Frankly, poor Catherine’s character is such a smarty pants most times that it makes it hard to watch.

Anyway, I’d love to know who your favorite Doctor Who companion is. All three will be appearing throughout the season, but mostly you’ll get to see “The Runaway Bride” Donna Noble who will be played by Catherine Tate. But Freema Agyeman, who was the Doctor’s companion Martha Jones in series three, does return during season four for “The Sontaran Strategem”, “The Poison Sky”, “The Doctor’s Daughter”, and two episodes in the finale. And, Billie Piper, who was Rose Tyler through two doctors and starred in the first episode of the new series and on through series two and will be in the three final episodes of season four. You’ll have a chance to catch a bit of their personalities, and should be able to figure out who you like the best.

Until next time…

Hi, everyone!

Though I’m new to posting on Scifi Fantasies, I’m not new to watching science fiction shows. I grew up on the likes of Enterprise, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and, of course, Doctor Who. It amazes me that after all these years (Lord, I’m not going to tell my age here…really…I hope!), that there are a few of the same shows still alive today. At least in some form or another. One of those is the British television show, Doctor Who.

If you were a fan of the old show set in the late 60’s, never fear, the show hasn’t changed that much. It still has the most fantastic storylines. And the doctor still has a companion!

There are a few things that have changed, of course. The actor who plays the doctor has changed several times over the years. But the latest one isn’t bad at all. David Tenant does a great job.Â And the supporting cast members are most excellent.

If you’re a fan, I’d love to know what you think about the new companion–Donna Noble. If you’ve never seen it, I’d say you should definitely give it a try. There are weird creatures, mystery, science, technology, and a bit of twisted romance combined into an all-in-one action packed television series.

Until next time…
