The BBC’s Doctor Who initially aired in 1963, until it was canceled in 1989 (IMDb). In 2005, the show was rebooted under the direction of Russell T. Davies; in 2008, the role of show runner was passed on to Steven Moffat (Martin). Doctor Who has always been an episodic serial, following the adventures of a “time lord”—simply called “the Doctor”—and his companion. The Doctor can regenerate into a new body instead of dying—allowing the character to be portrayed by successive actors—and has a vessel known as the TARDIS that can take him anywhere in space and time. Under the direction of Steven Moffat, the plot of Doctor Who displayed more intricacy and narrative complexity, developing plot lines and character arcs that stretched across one or…

His trembling hands hovered at the at her edges; inches, above her, still form, “No… No… No… NO!” The Doctor focussed on the sound of grinding metal. The heavy thump that followed as Missy’s knees, making contact; with the TARDIS floor. The sound echoed through the stillness. The TARDIS’s incoherent buzzing never…
Every Saturday morning I get a jolt of excitement in anticipation of the forty-five minutes of wonder I know are soon to delight my senses, forty-five minutes of adventure, fear, and the devilish world of Steven Moffat. Doctor Who is my all time favorite TV show, a show that follows the exploits of the time travelling Doctor and his intrepid companions across the universe. The cleverest thing about this show is, of course, the time travelling part, for it acts as an easy method for the writers…

I know theirs four ways to distinguish my accomplishment on succeeding on masters. I want to accomplish my masters in these four areas that are intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, time management, and academic preparedness.

I knew that I wanted to become a doctor by the time I entered high school because I was fascinated with the biomedical sciences and a passion for providing a beneficial service to others. There was never a moment of revelation of where I suddenly decided to become a doctor;rather my decision was one that came as a result ofcountless classroom experiences, taught values, and exposure to the medical profession. I was nine years old when a drunk driver crashed into my car as my family and I were…
In the Doctor who episode “The beast below” we get more of an insight on who the doctor really is. In every episode the Doctor goes out of his way to save the human race, and asks for nothing in return, this shows that the doctor is very compassionate. I believe that they use the star whale in this episode to help represent the doctor. Both are the only ones left of their kind, and share many similar qualities, but the most importantly, just as the Doctor, the Star whale comes to help the…
