Evil Plans

Thoughts on Doctor Who: So I started with the 9th doctor and I feel like that's the one that nobody likes or talks about but I really liked him and I'm having trouble adjusting to the 10th one. I get really attached to characters! I miss him! My favorite episodes so far are "Father's Day" and the one with the "where's my mummy" gas mask kid. Sooo creepy.

LOL, the 8th Doctor Who was my favorite. Not sure if he even had a tv series but the movie was great...at least I thought so anyway. I love Dr Who but one thing I don't like is how the BBC feels the constant need to insert anti-christian, anti-God bias into almost every episode. If you don't believe in God fine, but stop ridiculing those who do. Anyway , other than that I think Dr Who is great,lol. Glad you enjoy it. As for tv I prefer the 70's. Miss the Waltons and Little House,lol.

@jfranklins I haven't seen the 8th Doctor...I started with the 9th, the new series, but maybe after I catch up I'll go back and watch the old ones. I haven't noticed anti-christian/god bias. I wonder if it was more with the old series? I just asked boyfriend if he noticed any, he mentioned an episode we watched recently where the Doctor faces a "satan" figure...which we think the episode perhaps implies, in that world, that there is a "god" figure as well.

@EXgamers1 A yearly conference for youtubers in California, with talks and musical performances and getting to meet people you've only seen on youtube. Or so I've heard...I've never been.

i'm not sure that passivity & interactiveness are entirely opposites. some interaction (e.g. Facebook/YouTube liking) seems inherently more passive than, say, engaging with thoughts another person has shared, whether with others (in which case it's clearly not passive because active communication is involved) or sola. disclaimer: i'm coming from a place of immersion in self-involved projects now, where most of my active processing is self-imposedly introverted-- even if products may be shared.

@KaliCarys That's a good point, and after making this video I thought a lot about what really constituents as interacting anyways. I've definitely actively engaged with information myself, just in my head or on paper, without interacting with other people, and it does seem that that should count as interactiveness...

@PipeManChuck Of course I do! And I agree with your point. :)

@alyiswriting Sorry it took so long to reply. The anti-God bias is sometimes subtle rather than overt, but it is there. Anyway it's a good show which I enjoy it despite it's flaws,lol. By the way, the 8th Doctor's only appearance was in an American made for tv movie (Julia Roberts brother Eric Roberts played the bad guy,lol) which was a pilot for a new Doctor Who series, which sadly, never was produced. It's sad because the actor playing Dr Who was great. Just a little Dr Who trivia for you :)

By the way , Paul McGann was the 8th Doctor...people forget about him it seems ,lol.

The ninth Doctor is awesome. Everyone's just obsessed with David Tennant because he was the last one, and Matt Smith because he's the current one. People just move on so quickly.

As for TV watching....I think we'll all want a little bit of holodeck time 20 years from now.

@froggyhare46 That's so interesting. And upsetting-sounding, at least to me...
