Emily's Lists: Four Reactions To Peter Capaldi Being The Next Doctor

Posted by Emily Sizemore

So by now, we all know the next doctor is Peter Capaldi. Even if you didn't watch the live reveal, the
Internet practically exploded and if you ask someone to name all the actors that have played the Doctor Peter Capaldi is now on the list. Everyone reacted differently to the news though. And so I bring you....

Four Reactions To Peter Capaldi Being The Next Doctor

1. The Classic Whovian
A classic whovian is essentially a whovian who has been watching Doctor Who since, well forever. Most of these whovians rejoiced over the fact that the Doctor wasn't changing genders and that he had an air of Jon Pertwee about him. Anything Jon Pertwee is good. Anything.

2. The New Whovian
The new whovian has only been watching since the show was rebooted in 2005. Reactions were more cautious, since Peter Capaldi is older than all the Doctors in the restarted show. But they all decided he would be a good change of pace and would weed out those in our next category.

3. The Annoying Fangirl
You know them. The teenage girls only watching because of David Tennant, pay no attention to the storyline, and think Matt Smith is the third Doctor. These girls pretty much freaked out that Peter Capaldi isn't David Tennant, packed their bags, and left the fandom.

4. The Non-Whovian
The title is pretty much self-explanatory. Someone who doesn't watch Doctor Who. They pretty much sat there and wondered why the Internet crashed and burned and who the heck was Peter Capaldi. Poor lost souls...
So there y'all go. If you had any other reactions, or a funny reaction story, tell me in the comments.

Emily's Lists: Dalek Appreciation Day

Posted by Emily Sizemore
 
Today, August eighth, is Dalek Appreciation Day, so to celebrate I have come up with………

Six Reasons Why Daleks Are Awesome

1. They are immortal
No matter how many time the Daleks have been blown up, throw into the void, erased from time, etc. they always managed to come back. So the Doctor blew up all the Timelords and all the Daleks, but one somehow makes it. Then the one that made it self-destructs itself, but then there are thousands more that just show up out if nowhere?

2. They make the Doctor angry
Don't we all just love it when the Doctor gets angry? And nothing makes him angrier than the Daleks. Daleks are the only creature that the Doctor will kill with no remorse, so they bring out a different side of the Doctor. A side so scary that we want all the Daleks to be blown up just so the evil side of the Doctor will go away.

3. They have made asking for explanations so much more fun
You can either say 'Please explain that to me' or 'Explain, Explain, Explain!' But only if you hold out the syllables like a Dalek would, because otherwise you just sound overly eager.

4. They have been there since the beginning
You can write an essay on how each Doctor deals with the Daleks! Sylvester McCoy will blow up the Daleks with Nitro Nine Ace is NOT carrying, but Matt Smith will blow them up with missiles!

5. They have an awesome creator
Davros is awesome. On a scale of one to ten, he is a Gamma ray. For those who don't talk nerd speak that's a ten point five

6. They make a good insult
If you ever need to insult someone, just call them a Dalek. They most likely won't get it and won't realize that you just called them the worst thing imaginable. 


So there are six reasons why Daleks are awesome. Are there more? Yes. Would I bore you to tears telling you each one? Also a yes. If you come up with any brilliant ones, please post them in the comments.
