The Doctor and companion(s) basically go all through different periods of time to save worlds, civilizations, people (sometimes themselves), defeat enemies, and just go on really awesome adventures. I've likened it to Back To The Future meets Terminator meets Star Trek. The most recent reboot is funny as hell, great dialogue, normally spectacular writing, mostly good acting, sometimes scary, sometimes sad, and always thought-provoking.

Do a google image search for Karen Gillan, or Amy Pond (her character in the show). Only reason you really need to start watching.

That a very basic understanding of it. Doctor Who is way more detailed, but you can always pick it up and usually know what is happening and has happened.

Just click on that, then start clicking through whatever - it is wonderful reading.

I like the story arcs of the old series better than the monster of the week arc the current one takes, but I enjoy watching both.

Plus, people generally enjoy the series and Doctor they "grew up" with. I'm fortunate enough that there was no Doctor Who (outside novels and one relatively crappy movie) between 1989 and 2005, so I don't get to have that bias.

On a lark, I put peanut butter on an Almond Joy today. It was very, very good.

Flipping channels last night and stumbled briefly on msnbc Lawrence O'Donnell's show being filled in by Chris Hayes. Is Maddow changing close/glasses and doing another show? The brief segment I caught they looked similar and had pretty much the same style.

Re: Comments That Don't Warrant A Thread

I'm convinced there are people who will always argue about the height of an athlete.

Ever notice that most of those who always disagree are short folks and they never argue about the weight?

Isham listed as 6ft.. Who cares if he is 5'11" or 5'10"? If he was listed as 5'10" the same folks would say, "No way this guy is 5'10". I'm 5'10" (actually 5'6" with lifts) and we look (saw him once across the room) eye to eye."

It's not just athletes. People are always, umm, optimistic about their heights.

Interesting find on Bed, Bath, & Beyond. Very cool that they chose our logo as one of the 3 displayed.
