Yesterday, I decided to have some fun and design for myself a bowtie...
... and a fez!
Cool, right?
And, while I was at it, I made a miniature bowtie for my friend's 11th Doctor doll.
Bowties are cool! :D

An Extremely Brief Synopsis of the Christmas Special
Posted by Emily Sizemore
Ok, lots of ships, tons of aliens, essentially the Pandorica all over again. Clara needs a boyfriend, due to the fact she kinda sort of made one up, so calls the Doctor, who shows up naked (Reminder: send of brain bleach to Clara) which freaks out her family (No explanation needed there). Doctor and Clara run off, go to "Church" (AKA spaceship of awesomeness) hang out with some lady obsessed with war paint, teleport to this planet, get attack by Weeping Angels, summon TARDIS and- MATT SMITH IS BALD (Reminder: Buy brain bleach for self). The Doctor and Clara land in a town called Christmas which is surrounded by a truth field, find a crack in the universe in a church which is holding Galifray filled with Timelords asking Doctor Who? This is needed for confirmation that they have the right universe, but no one wants them back and if they came back the Time War would start all over again. Oh, and SURPRISE the planet's name is Tresalore! [Not sure on spelling, but y'all are smart and can probably figure it out] The Doctor sends Clara back to the TARDIS and sends her back home to keep her safe. He fights the aliens and tells the children stories and dances the same dance he did atAmy and Rory's wedding (These aren't tears. THEY ARE NOT TEARS! *sniffle*). Clara flew through the time vortex on the TARDIS, delaying it by three hundred years, finally shows up, and goes with the Doctor to visit War Paint Lady, who is now a Dalek along with everyone else in Church. She fights off Dalek control inside of her and saves the Doctor and Clara. AND THE DOCTOR LEAVES CLARA AND THERE'S THE LITTLE BOY AND ALL THE DRAWINGS AND OH MY EYES AND CLARA IS CRYING AND SHE GOES BACK AGAIN AND I CAN'T BREATHE AND SHE GOES TO BE WITH HIM WHEN THE DOCTOR DIES AND READS HIM A POEM ABOUT ELEVEN'S HOUR ENDING AND SOMEONE FIND A FLUFFY CREATURE TO CRY INTO AND HE GOES TO BE KILLED BY THE DALEKS AND CLARA SCREAMS AT TIMELORDS AND THIS IS WHAT IT MUST FEEL LIKE TO DIE AND THE TIMELORDS GIVE THE DOCTOR MORE REGENERATIONS AND HE SAVES EVERYONE FROM THE DALEKS AND IT'S ALL BURNING AND CLARA FINDS THE DOCTOR IN THE TARDIS AND HE'S EATING FISH FINGERS AND CUSTARD AND HE SEES ALL THE DRAWINGS BY THE CHILDREN WHO LOVED HIM AMD LITTLE AMELIA POND IS RUNNING THROUGH THEM AND I CAN'T STOP CRYING AND HE SAYS GOODBYE TO CLARA AND AMY POND ALL GROWN UP STROKES HIS FACE AND DON'T YOU DARE DROP THAT BOW TIE RAGGEDY MAN WE ALL LOVE YOU DON'T LEAVE US!!! Oh look, Peter Capaldi.

Companion of the Month: Clara Oswald
Posted by Kia Alan
I want to start out my first column with Clara Oswald. I have found with recent excessive watching of the Eleventh Doctor's seasons that since Rose Tyler, Clara is the first companion he's been able to open up with. She, other than Amy and Rory, is my favorite. Everything about this character, from the way she was written to the way she is portrayed by Jenna Louise Coleman, is mysterious. I could go into so much more depth than what I am about to give you but I fear that would make this blog far too long.
From the moment we meet this character in Asylum of the Daleks we never knew how far she would come, where the Doctor would take her and how much of a bond would be formed between these two. But, as Doctor did say many times before; she is impossible. Not just impossibly cute, but impossibly well pronounced. From saving the Doctor from the Daleks to dying more than once right before the Doctor's eyes - Clara Oswin Oswald was a mystery to us all. A mystery worth solving.
I think my favorite exchange between these two was when Eleven asked her, 'how did you know?' and she simply responded, 'your eyes.' Clara is the kind of person to know when you're sad just by the simple look in your eye and I think that's why the Doctor loves her so much; because she can see through this impossibly intricate man who's seen the end of all things and the beginning of the universe, who's lived ten different lives and seen more people than he would to have liked to die right before his eyes. She sees his pain, she sees his hurt and all because of a look in his eyes.
Clara and the Doctor aren't in love like Rose and Ten/Nine, they don't have a complicated relationship like Amy and Eleven; they're just friends, confidants. Remember in the 50th special how Eleven grabbed her hand and held it tight as he remembered his past and the War Doctor? For me, that's a powerful moment. Hand holding is a normal thing on Doctor Who because he wants to make sure his companions are always with him, always safe. So what makes that moment so special? Because he's afraid.
"I've had many lives, many faces. And there's one I don't admit to; one I try very hard to forget."
How many times have we seen the Doctor be afraid? Not many. This one sticks out to me because instead of covering up that fear with a fancy speech that makes cry, or his sad, heavy smile he instead becomes vulnerable. He reaches for the one person who he knows can comfort him. Clara. As he remembered what he had done, he looked to the floor with tears in his eyes and took the hand of the one person in the universe who could see through his pain and he held her hand tight, biting back any tears that may come. It is so nice to see the Doctor becoming vulnerable because it just reassures us that he really is human.
Clara brings out that side of him. She doesn't make him vulnerable to make him look weak, she just has the special touch with him that makes him realize how human he's become over the many years and I think he likes that feeling. Not anyone, even the Doctor, can stay strong forever. Sometimes you have to break, sometimes you have to become vulnerable to really see how you can be strong again.
I'm looking forward (in a strange happy/sad way) to see how Clara reacts to her Doctor leaving and Twelve showing up out of the blue. Will this beautiful bond between them weaver like it did with Rose when Ten came along? Will she see him as the same man? And most importantly will she still be able to see that pain in his eyes? It's going to new for all of us but I see Clara as kind to accept it and move on. Because just like she gives the Doctor strength, he give her strength.
Clara Oswald will be a favorite of mine through it all. Whether you ship Whouffle´or not, like her or not, you can't deny the bond they have which makes their relationship even better than the others.

An Update from Emily - HISHE Videos!
Posted by Emily Sizemore
Ok so the recap is taking me longer than I thought it would. I got pretty busy, but it should be done either this weekend or the next. Sorry bout that :\
But I did find something ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS (Well, in my opinion) while I was poking around. There is a YouTube channel called HISHE (How It Should Have Ended) and they made "How Doomsday Should Have Ended". They also have another video with the Eleventh Doctor talking with Superman and Batman. It's not as funny as the first one, but it has it's moments.
Here they are:

Opinions on Doctor Who: The Day Of The Doctor
Posted by Ewan Cassidy
(Bear in mind, this is opinions, you may not like it, but I stand by it!)
Well world, the episode has finally aired. The Day Of The Doctor was aired at the same time in 74 countries around the world! But what are the opinions of the Whovians? Here's my opinions on the episode the world has been waiting for.
First of all, I'm gonna start with the flaws. I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting just a little more with the episode characters. Billie Piper, who used to play Rose Tyler, came back instead as the machine the Doctor used to blow up Gallifrey.
Also, I'd like to point out that only three Doctors played a massive role in the episode (Matt Smith, David Tennent and John Hurt), with Clara and Rose beside them (but only John can see Rose).
Near the end, the three Doctors fly their TARDIS's into Gallifrey (won't spoil it for those who havint seen it yet) but it isn't just the three. All TWELVE (yes, twelve, including Mr Capaldi) fly their TARDISes into Gallifrey and save the day.
Also, major flaw number two, aliens in the episode. The Daleks did make an apperence, just ... not as big as you think.
Right at the start, you see the Daleks on Gallifrey, destroying the planet, and that's pretty much all they do. The most seen alien was the Zygons, shapeshifting aliens who take over the present day and Elizabeth I's time. Why should they play a bigger role the Daleks? The Daleks are the most feared beings in the universe!
Flaws aside, there were so many references in the episode, the first obvious one being the opening sequence, where they played the William Hartnell opening sequence. Straight after being a sign saying 76 Totters Lane, the place where Susan and the Doctor lived while Susan attended school. Cybermen heads were to be seen in the UNIT base in the Tower of London and so much more (I may need to watch again to see any more).
So in conclusion, would I say this is worth watching? My answer, yes, every Whovian must see this episode. This episode has its flaws, but this is the episode where it's starts to make sense of the doctors past, it will leave you surprised, but you will learn to love the show more, and the doctor himself.
On behalf of TARDIS Magazine, I would like to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOCTOR WHO! And here's to another 50 years.
And now, Whovians, lets raise out glasses of wine, dine on fish fingers and custard, and throw our fezzes (or Who hat?) in the air!
Allonz-Y!

Episode Recap -- "Bells of Saint John" (S706)
Posted by Emily Sizemore
As anticipation grows for the fiftieth anniversary special, then the Christmas special where we will say goodbye to the much loved Matt Smith, I believe it is time for us to revisit what has happened this year. With that, here is a recap of the first episode of the latest season, 'The Bells of Saint John'
The Doctor appears to be hiding out in Cumbria 1207, as a monk. Well sort of a monk. He stays in the basement. Until the bells of Saint John ring. Surprise! The bells of Saint John is the TARDIS telephone! And here's another surprise. Clara, the girl twice dead, is on the line and just as confused as the Doctor. She been told this was the Internet help line or something. A woman gave the number to her saying it was the best help she knew. (Sounds like River, doesn't it?) Since the other Wifi is locked, Clara ends up clicking on the evil Wifi. But the Doctor has shown up, so everything should be alright. And since, he was doing his mad man in
a box routine, Clara locks him out of the house. (Good
Clara! Oh wait, he's helping. Bad Clara!) And that's when the creepy
little girl shows up. (Why does this show always have a creepy little
child every season?) Turns out, the creepy little child is a soul
taking, Wifi robot thing and she's here to kill Clara and upload her
soul to the Internet. And where's the Doctor why Clara is being killed?
He's changing clothes. (Not a good idea to change clothes once your
friend has clicked on the evil Wifi.) By the time he's done, Clara is
already dead and is being uploaded to the Internet. But the Doctor fixes
everything with his amazing computer skills and brings her back! (Now
can we call her the girl three times dead?) Clara wakes up later in the
day, and can't remember what happened to her. (And the Doctor invented
the quadricycle in his spare time.)Clara comes down to the Doctor and he explains the whole evil Wifi thing to her. Then another creepy soul taking, Wifi robot thing shows up, and the Doctor wants Clara to get in the box aka the TARDIS. She doesn't seem to like the idea of being crammed in a small box with a strange man, until a plane starts coming for them and the Doctor drags her in with him. She starts yelling stuff about bigger on the inside, the Doctor flies the TARDIS into the plane trying to kill them, and drags Clara back out again. (Really Doctor? The plane is trying to kill you so where do you go? To the plane itself.) The plane is crashing and guess what? The Doctor doesn't know how to fly a plane. (You would think you might have time for flying lessons if you lived a thousand years but apparently not.) He manages to not crash the plane until the pilot wakes up, before running of to the TARDIS again. He skips to breakfast, grabs a motorcycle and away they go.
Clara is alive and well again though and considering whether or not to travel with the Doctor. "Come back tomorrow." She says. (But we all know what she will decide don't we?)
And here is a bonus. Look at who wrote this book featured in the episode.

Best of Who -- The Tenth Doctor's Regeneration Scene
Posted by Ewan Cassidy
This scene is the scene I cry over every time I watch! I remember the day when David Tennant announced he was leaving, I was screaming "NO YOU ARE NOT LEAVING!" But looking at this scene, this is the moment when Doctor Who fans are in tears! Especially me, I couldn't stop crying for ages, and I'm still crying four years later!

Doctor Puppet
 |
| Isn't he CUTE?! |
A lady from Brooklyn, NY named Alisa Stern has produced four fantastic stop-motion animated short films featuring Doctor Puppet, the most recent one having been released today.
With every episode, I'm always surprised by the new puppets Ms. Stern introduces. As shown in the picture, the main character of the series is the Eleventh Doctor, but puppets of his previous incarnations have also made guest appearances, as well as another Time Lord whom I shall not identify in case you haven't seen the fourth episode yet.... ;)
The puppets I'm hoping to see next are Rose Tyler, the Ponds, and (yes,) Captain Jack.
You can see all of the episodes on the official Doctor Puppet YouTube channel. I simply can't get over how adorable the puppets are!!!

Best of the Web: "I Am the Doctor" fan cover
Posted by Allison Rose
One of my least favorite Doctor Who scores is the Eleventh Doctor's theme, "I Am the Doctor." It's very repetitive. I don't begrudge people who enjoy it, although I think it's a bit strange to listen to it for, say, forty minutes straight! All the same, I came across this really cool video a few weeks ago of one girl playing the entire song all on her own. She recorded herself probably as many times as the Doctor has years in his life -- check it out!
