Out of 50 years of being in existence who best defines you?
I will attempt to put a small list of character types for you to chose from. One rule...no Doctors. Thats not to say you can't be a Medical Doctor, or have your Phd in something, but it must not be the Doctor himself. I would of course pick his 4th incarnation and be done with it, but that would be cheating. I know not everyone knows certain character names BLASPHEMERS I am just looking for the type of character you would be whether that's what you would want to aspire to become, or who you are in your everyday life.
Are you an Ally?
The Paternoster Gang
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Allies in Doctor Who do not travel with the Doctor. They simply assist him to get through whatever mess he is in that episode. Some are recurring others just show up and accomplish the role for that episode. Some part timers and one timers, but always there for him. Some were alien races, while others were just Military personnel doing their duty for the crown. The problem with being an ally to the Doctor is never knowing when he would pop back in to say "Hi would you like a Jelly Baby?" Sometimes he never does, but you keep waiting.
Are you a Companion?
Sarah Jane Smith
Clara Oswin Oswald
The companions travel with the Doctor in the TARDIS through time and space. Sometimes they were called his assistants this didn't set well with some. Depending on the Doctor they traveled with they would either be comic relief, or someone to argue with. Only a few were romantic in nature. The name companion implies this, but he only thought of them as his friends. Most companions were invites, few were forced. They all shared the love and adoration of the Doctor. They would all trust him to the end of time...literally. They would all lay down their lives for his...some did. The Doctor needs someone with him to be a moral compass. When he travels alone he tends to be darker, less willing to follow the rules, more god like. The main problem of being a companion is you are a mortal, while the doctor seems to never age and only changes if forced to by being mortally wounded. He is a Time Lord he walks through eternity he never stops...he never rests...and if you do get back to where and when you were after your travels with him, you will never be the same. You also know you will be replaced, But you would do it all over again.
Some of the many women of Doctor Who
Are you an Enemy?
Enemies through time
The Master
Why on earth would I put this up as a category? Sometimes it's cool to be bad! What makes Doctor Who so iconic is the list of baddies that he has had to vanquish over the years. Most notable are the Daleks. They have been there from the beginning of the shows run. Running around shouting EXTERNATE!! They along with their creator Davros have been a thorn in the doctors side for years. Another of the Doctors foes is The Master. A renegade Time Lord who has know the Doctor his whole life. Like the Doctor he has had many different incarnations, all deadly. My personal favorite is the original portrayed by Roger Delgado. When the third Doctor was exiled to Earth he had to deal with the Master on a consistent basis. The Master was a Professor Moriarty to the Doctor's Sherlock Holmes. Of course the problem of being the enemy of the Doctor is being the enemy of the Doctor. You will always lose, but you might inflict some pain on him, and in some cases look good doing it.

So who are you? an Ally, a Companion, or an enemy?
I would be a villain since I've never watched the show. I think they should make an episode where the new Doctor has to battle a giant man-eating bulldog who is very grumpy.
I want to be an ally! Is there some sort of 12 step program to help me become one??? I have no clue about this show--but I know I'm missing something awesome. :)
Excellent choice Mickey did have to grow on me, he was a little too whiny at first, but I guess I would be also if my girlfriend ran off with an alien in a blue box .
To answer your question I don't tweet, I just toot. Feel free to use what you want where you want I own nothing.
Yeah, he was pretty embarrassing at first. Remember the time he literally ran into a wall chasing the TARDIS? I'd like to be a companion, but not a girl. :)
I am an ally. As mentioned before, one of my good friends over here in England, has met several of the cast members from way back when. WHO would of thought of that.....
David, thought you should see MsMaraih's post - her daughter dressed as eleven of the Dr. Who's - http://www.msmariah.com/2013/10/happy-halloween-scifi-fans.html
Ally. I would be an ally.
ReplyDeleteI'd be an ally as well.
ReplyDeleteUnless I could be the Tardis itself...
i felt being an Ally wouldn't be the sexy pick, but you would still have your own life to live.
ReplyDeleteNever thought of being the TARDIS.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how comfortable I would be with the Doctor calling me sexy.

ReplyDeleteThat would be right up your alley!

ReplyDeleteI'd be Mickey. But the rebel military one. Are you on twitter? I wanted to RT this. @thegeektwins
ReplyDeleteStep 1. watch the awesomeness
ReplyDeleteStep 2. be the awesomeness
Step 3-12 repeat step 1-2
You are already Awesome Morgan so no worries there!

LOL! Those steps don't sound too difficult. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, he was pretty embarrassing at first. Remember the time he literally ran into a wall chasing the TARDIS? I'd like to be a companion, but not a girl. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Doctor always has his lady friends.
ReplyDeleteThats why I added the funny cartoon of all his "girls" up to Rose.
I hear so much about this show, must watch!!
ReplyDeleteI must warn you that if you do ...you won't stop! ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely River Song for me.
ReplyDeleteDoctor Who is the coolest show! I'd be the wife (what was her name - River?)telling him what to do! Heck with the companions!
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteSPOILERS!
ReplyDeleteShe is epic cool!
I don't watch Dr. Who, but it sounds fun. I would likely be an Ally.
ReplyDeleteLoads of fun!
ReplyDeleteAlly is a popular choice.
I am an ally. As mentioned before, one of my good friends over here in England, has met several of the cast members from way back when. WHO would of thought of that.....
ReplyDeleteNice! Maybe I should have set up a poll type question instead.
ReplyDeletelots of allies in the comments.
Exterminate!
ReplyDeleteI would probably be a companion. Although, I must say, I do have a deep love for certain villains.
ReplyDeleteCool another villain sympathiser!
ReplyDeleteIt's not the Daleks fault that they must hate and exterminate.
It is in their DNA.
I would be an ally too. It's nice to lend a helping hand every now and then!
ReplyDeleteAlly in the lead.
ReplyDeleteyeah being on the run constantly through time and space might be exhausting!

ReplyDeleteThat is epic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex!
