| Doctor Who Series 5 DVD |
Doctor Who was a British science fiction program that was aired since 1963 and then went off the air in 1989. Don't worry, I didn't know that either....
I'd never heard of Doctor Who. Nor its the actors who portrayed as the venerable Doctor.
I'd always assumed that the Brits can make a sci-fi series that is too popular for adults many. Who wouldn't? But then, in 2005, some guy named Russell Davies got bored for doing absolutely nothing on his free time and do you guess what he did on his time? He brought Doctor Who back, starting from Christopher Eccleston who served as the 9th generation Doctor when the series returned in the Spring of 2005 along with some actress named Billie Piper as his companion, Rose Tyler.
I'm no fan of the classic Who because this is somewhat what your parents used to watch when they were kids but the modern Who is all fantastic and cool and suitable for all ages. Kids love to watch the modern Who, even teens, or parents who got fed of seeing the classic Who.
First glance, when I watched the first series, take note the one when it got back in 2005, I sometimes didn't like Mr. Eccleston's performance but with all of his eccentric ways, his rage, fun, anything, that got me. In episodes like the one when London's been invaded by the Slitheen, that's when The Doctor and Rose showed their true instincts. I have seen it all that this Who is all about the battle of wits. Its the Time Lord's intelligence that will change the fate of the world. Of course, for being the last of the powerful Time Lords, he's your ideal knight in shining armor uh...save that to someone else...Don't mind asking why.
When Christopher Eccleston left the show after the first season ended, where he got turned into David Tennant, this is when it gets interesting. David, for being the shouty type of Doctor, really helped this show's popularity soared into new heights. And if I said shouty, I saw him when he guested on Top Gear Season 10 finale. "SPEED UP!" David Tennant yelled. Heh....not bad for the Scottish-born actor who popularized Doctor Who with his shouty humorous attitude. As I watched all of Mr. Tennant's adventures, I started to adore his attitude. Even when Ms. Freema Agyeman took role as Martha, who served as his companion for Series 3, and then comedian Catherine Tate from The Catherine Tate Show, who was Donna Noble from the 2006 Christmas Special up until she became a full-fledged partner on Series 4, which brought back Billie and Freema and some of his good guys, Doctor Who became a chemistry of laughter, appeal, and surprisingly the emotion that we felt.
Travel through time, fend off against enemies such as the Daleks, the Cybermen, and many others, and saving the universe, that's how The Doctor's been good at but sometimes though, with great power comes great responsibility. The rules of time are fluid, some actions have dire consequences, and some tragedies cannot be reversed. Such examples came from The Fires of Pompeii episode and the 2009 Autumn Special titled The Waters Of Mars. He maybe prevented catastrophe from time paradoxes but sometimes, there is NO ROOM FOR MANEUVER. Some events are fixed and cannot be changed. That made me sad...
Thanks to Mr. David Tennant's contribution, Doctor Who spawned several merchandising rights such as a toy replica of his Sonic Screwdriver, some Doctor Who books to keep them interested, and that's it. Also, it even spawned spin-offs....(sigh) I felt pity about The Sarah Jane Adventures. Even though a good Doctor Who spinoff targeted for the kids in Britain and starred famed Doctor Who actress Elisabeth Sladen as journalist Sarah Jane Smith, I'd never knew that it only spawned five seasons. To put it this way, Season 5 was the last of The Sarah Jane Adventures before Elisabeth Sladen died in 2011. Right before her passing, she even wrote an autobiography, which I really want to read about her achievements as being Sarah Jane Smith from the classic Who right to her last words before her death. Classic and modern Whovians alike can still remember Sarah Jane as one of the all time companion greats.
Aside from Sarah Jane, who can forget a time agent became Torchwood operative, Captain Jack Harkness (played by John Barrowman)? Torchwood is more than just a rated-SPG spinoff of Doctor Who. When I said rated-SPG, it does. Think of CSI meets The X-Files but sadly, I didn't like that show but I'll give it a chance to see one. Count on it. Even they we're branded as spin-offs, they're still a product of Doctor Who's popularity.
When the year 2010 stroke, it was the year Whovians bid goodbye to David Tennant and others, even the man who revived the series, whose name was Russell Davies. Why? Because, this is the year Doctor Who became the coolest and positioned as one of the BBC's flagship programs...thanks to actor Matt Smith and the newly appointed showrunner who was famous for modernizing Sherlock, Steven Moffat.
Matt Smith's now the 11th generation Doctor Who and even though it was the fifth series, it feels like a completely new Doctor Who rather than just a continuation. With good guys such as Amy Pond and Rory Williams, this show is getting cooler than the past Doctor Who seasons. Thanks to Mr. Steven Moffat and Matt Smith, the whole humans became fez-wearing, bowtie-wearing, jammie dodger-eating, Whovians because why? He's unique....VERY VERY unique. Aside from the Eleventh's coolness, merchandising rights are now expanded and luckily, we'd expected a toy version of the TARDIS, especially the Eleventh's Sonic Screwdriver! I once had a TARDIS toy and the Eleventh's sonic screwdriver in my room and you wouldn't guess how my transformation came intro fruition. When I watched the whole of Mr. Matt Smith's adventures, he revolutionized everything! Bowties are cool, fezzes are cool, stetsons are cool, glasses are cool, and bunk beds are cool! Wait, bunk beds are cool? We used to have one of those and I broke one. Sorry....
This show became a global phenomenon and even when classic programs revamped into new ones fail within a minute, Doctor Who is doing very well. So well...it even spawned a video game its very own exhibition in Porth Teigr, Cardiff, Wales!
I am so glad I became one of them...a fez-wearing, bowtie-wearing, jammie dodger-eating, fish custard-eating, bunk bed-sleeping, Whovian. That's my NEW TO WHO story. Because I'm new to Who. Allons-y!
Thanks for reading and as always...NEVER APPLY LOGIC TO WHO...

The horror....the horror....the horror....

| Eastern Coastline of the Philippines has been battered by a 7.6 magnitude |
A couple of hours ago, I've heard that the eastern coastline of the Philippines got battered by a 7.6 magnitude and some terrible aftershocks. I never thought how could that happened but my God, please help us. WE REALLY NEED THEIR HELP!
As of now, tens of thousands return home in Samar after a tsunami alert was lifted following a 7.6 magnitude undersea quake, as local authorities began work to repair damages to public infrastructure.I really do hope that after that terrible nightmare occurred, I do hope that those who are affected will do their best to stood up again.

Pond Life
While building the anticipation for Series 7 premiere of Doctor Who, BBC made a five-part webisodes set before Asylum of the Daleks. This is called Pond Life and this online exclusive highlights moments on The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, and Rory Williams, along with some other familiar faces. Seems that the BBC has kindly let everyone witness this five-part web exclusives that build the anticipation for the Series 7 premiere set tomorrow.
In my point of view, parts 1 to 4 are fun to see. Who would have thought that The Doctor laid down some backing vocals, Ood on the loo, and Rory's lunchbox....which is the most awkward moment occurred in the whole Who history? At the end of the final part of this online exclusive, that's how it gets emotional...
Everything is all right, isn't it?
So then....see you tomorrow for Asylum of the Daleks! Bring your friends! Arm yourselves with knowledge!
Until then, GERONIMO!!!!

Double decker racing in American Top Gear?
Okay, no offense right? But how come there's double decker racing in American Top Gear?
In the original, double decker racing was occured in Top Gear vs. The Germans episode and The Ashes Challenge episode (UK vs Australia). Here in the American Top Gear, different story...
After Rut and Adam lost the cult classics challenge even though Rutledge bought Tanner's winning Merkur for $600, those two visited Irwindale Speedway and meet up with Dax Shephard and Sean Hayes, stars on the new movie Hit and Run. These two arrived in the 1967 Lincoln Continental, a true cult classic.
Anyway, a BMW 3 bolted on the top of the 7 is weird for a double decker Bimmer. Fans of the original maybe familiar about the double decker racing but here...it's Rut and Dax vs. Adam and Sean. Carnage and stupidity occured.
In the end, Rutledge and Dax won the double decker racing. What a pillock....

Let's Do The News! (August 31, 2012)
Let's do the news! And oh, have you guys been on the Metal Gear 25th Anniversary party?
(audience murmuring)
Uh...I don't know if I was here. You?
Uh...no. But on that party, Kojima Productions really showed up their bombshells on that party. This is one quite of an interesting bombshell that shocked Metal Gear fans many.
What's the bombshell that Hideo Kojima blown on that party?
First, and really a big one, Columbia Pictures will produce the much awaited live-action film of Metal Gear Solid!
(applause)
Wha.....what? A live action Metal Gear Solid film? Seriously?
Yes. That is a bombshell explained and yes, Avi Arad, who is the producer of Spiderman movies, will be served as the producer for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie!
Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-08-30/metal-gear-solid-gets-live-action-hollywood-film
I didn't realize that Mr. Hideo Kojima had a dream of wanting his Metal Gear masterpiece to be adapted to a film but is it worth the wait or is it a flop?
I don't know. But we have to find out in the near future. Aside for the live action MGS film in the works, Metal Gear Solid also gets social with its first ever social game called METAL GEAR SOLID SOCIAL OPS.
(oooohh)
Social...Ops?
Yep. Social Ops. A smartphone game as told by GREE and it will be based on earlier stories of the METAL GEAR saga. Amazingly though, Mr. Kojima didn't really want to expand the franchise upwards but they want to be on the right direction. Also, this new social game takes advantage of its Unity engine for 3D graphics. This is another one of their bombshells offered...
Yeah. Another bombshell indeed.
(audience laughing)
Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-08-30/metal-gear-solid-gets-social-game-with-global-plans
On one note on that is, because it's made possible by GREE, it could be somewhat Japan-only...
No, May. Not only Japan but Konami plans to expand the Social Ops from around the world!
Really?
Yeah! And oh, for one last bombshell....
What is it?
Well, while on the hype for next year's REVENGEANCE, Kojima Productions tries to put their most talked FOX engine to their next Metal Gear game but this time, this is an open world Metal Gear game called GROUND ZERO.
Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-08-30/new-fox-engine-demo-is-an-open-world-metal-gear-game
Don't you mean METAL GEAR SOLID GROUND ZERO?
Yes. GROUND ZERO. Kojima said he wanted to test drive their FOX Engine for their new work but seriously, can the FOX Engine really be a good try for this new Metal Gear game?
Uhh....I don't know. Maybe more details will follow on the 2012 Tokyo Game Show next month.
Yeah. Next month indeed. Now they're really a bombshells we're looking forward to.
Uh-huh and oh! Bad news!
What?
I've just heard that Season 6 of the hit MTV reality series titled Jersey Shore WILL BE THE LAST!
Oh no! And oh, about that Jersey Shore....That was my sister Elise's favorite. JERSEY SHORE, B**CH!
(audience laughing)
Oh...that was the reality about idiots fighting each other, showing muscles, and my gosh....I can't believe that this rated-SPG reality show became a cult phenomenon. Sadly though, I didn't like that for being too harsh and what's the point of those adults doing outrageous stuff on cam?
(audience laughing)
Well, there's that dialogue that's been stuck on my head...JERSEY SHORE, B**CH! (laughing)
Scoop: http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/news/mtv-pulls-plug-jersey-shore-174946631.html
Anyway, while waiting to see the end of JERSEY SHORE, which is the most insane of the SPG-rated realities, anyone heard about hapless workers drowned in a septic tank at Ali Mall on Quezon City? I know. That's horrible for those who got stuck in a septic tank.
(awwww)
Yeah, what tragic happening occurred. That septic tank at Ali Mall was too severe for someone to repair it. That made me wondering about the whole septic tank story....Could there be a woman at the septic tank?
What?
You know, Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank...starring Eugene Domingo. Remember that film?
(audience laughing)
Hey Hammond. Hey! No time for septic tank hooligans We've got four drowned workers to worry about. No time for your rowdy behavior. Shall we move on?
Right and because it's just a few days before Series 7 premiere, that gave us thinking what to do while on the day of the world television premiere of BBC Doctor Who Series 7. For Whovians like you and me, there are many ways to do.

(audience laughing)
Ood on the loo?
...awkward....

Yeah...never apply logic to who. You're really sounded like a Whovian now. No wonder when did you became one of them. Are those Jelly Babies, fish fingers, custard, tea, and Jammie Dodgers ready on your table?
Exactly!
Great! See you on ASYLUM OF THE DALEKS! If you're brave enough to yell GERONIMO....(laughing)
Anyway, on the Paris Motor Show, Citroen will unveil it's answer to the Fiat 500C and it's called the DS3 Cabrio. It's like a DS3 but with the canvas top on it. Here it is, look...

| 2014 Citroen DS3 Cabrio |
Uh-huh, it maybe Cabrio but this Sport Chic gets a canvas top just like the Fiat 500C. No doubt about it...
Oh...speaking of which, could that be the successor to the stupid Citroen C3 Pluriel?
It's either a yes or a no but we'll see about that next year.
Okay then.
Now, at the Moscow International Auto Show, Jaguar unveiled a more powerful XFR and this was called the XFR SPEED PACK. It may have a 5.0L V8 engine that churns out 510HP of power but now, it can get a top speed of 280kph thanks to its modified ECU, a front apron and a rear diffuser.
Yeah, hate to admit it but this is 20kph slower than the XKR-S, which is still my favorite Jag to drive around the racetracks.
(awwww)
Uh...yeah....Hey! As we know, the London 2012 is over but now, there's the London 2012 Paralympics which was held on the same venue as the London 2012 a few weeks ago. It runs on 29 Aug to 9 Sept. Currently, China is on the lead that bags 15 medals while Australia bags 9 medals, and hosting country Great Britain bags 7 medals. As we told, this event runs until September 9 so we'll check out for more, okay?
