Late at night when the wires in the walls sing in tune with the din of the falls…

I am such a geek. I am happy to stay home on Friday nights, because that’s when my favorite shows are on. Hello? I’m so in love with the new Doctor Who on SciFi. There is just something about a British girl, and an alien with a British accent traveling back and forth through time to save the world.

I’m too young to remember the first Doctor Who with any kind of detail, so please don’t tell me the original was better. I see is as more of a Star Trek to Star Trek: Next Generation comparison. And yes, I watch that too. It’s on at 6pm on G4, and for most of my childhood, it was on a 5pm on Fox in reruns every night. And still, when I walk in the house after work, I ask my mom what episode, and I get a rundown of the whole thing. But, I digress.

The only thing I could see that was bad about when Doctor Who was on, was that they were putting it opposite Numb3rs (CBS). But, Numb3rs hasn’t been on for the last two weeks. I’m afraid they’ve canceled it, but my mom thinks it may be on hiatus because of March Madness.

So yes, the geek in me waits for Friday nights for another episode of Doctor Who. And I’ve already asked for the first season for my birthday. That’s how much I like it, based on the first three shows.

I can’t wait until tonight’s episode.

Geek.

    I’m a proud geek of Star Trek (all of them), the old Dr. Who (don’t have the sci-fi channel so I haven’t seen the new one :-( ), Farscape, Battlestar Galactica (the new one), Buffy, Angel, Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. I cherish my friend, the television and his pal the DVD player. It’s the best place to sit, knit and expand your mind.

    I too would rather stay at home on a Friday night (I’ve always been this way) with my friends, Captain Picard or Rod Serling. I grok.

    If you like that series of Doctor Who, just wait until you see the next one. Ecclestone was good, but Tennant (the new Doctor) looks to be far more interesting :)

    Have a look at the trailer, recently posted by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2006/04/01/30852.shtml
