Day 13 – Your Favourite Villain:
The Master, hands down. He's just so gloriously unhinged and darkly hilarious. (especially the John Simm incarnation) And the history between him and the Doctor makes it all the better.

Doctor Who: Day 12
Day 12 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy:
Today I'm going to have to go with the most wonderful spoof ever. It was made for Red Nose Day If you don't know what that is, look it up, it is fantastic "Do something funny for money" pretty much the whole of the UK spends the day doing ridiculous silly stuff to earn money for children's charities. The evening has a televised show with funny bits and sketches donated from various celebs and shows, musical guests, funny hosts, its awesome. We were fortunate enough to be in London for Red Nose Day last year and it was awesome (helped that David Tennant was the host that year). This is from a few years ago, maybe right before New Who started maybe? Anyway it stars Johnathan Pryce as The Master and Rowan Atkinson, Jim Broadbent,and Hugh Grant and others as The Doctor. Written by Steven Moffat no less. It is hilarious! "The sofa of reasonable comfort"

Doctor Who: Day 11
Day 11 – Your Favourite Season (Classic or New):
This is a hard one, 2, 3, and 4 all have nearly equal standing with me. The one common reason is David Tennant's Doctor but I think that each of his seasons have very different strengths.
Now, as 10/Rose shipper I adore season 2 for obvious reasons, it is also the all around happiest we see 10 (for the same reasons) which is just lovely; sure he has his cosmic angst about the whole Last of the Time Lords thing but Rose soothes that a great deal and 2 is more or less just the two of them larking about space and time and enjoying each other; but I also think it has quite a few fairly weak episodes and everyone was obviously still trying to get settled into things.
3 I think has the highest concentration of really really awesome episodes of any season and the best/most cohesive overarching storyline so I think it might actually be the best, it's not my favourite; while I like Martha and she wound up being pretty awesome, I don't love her, and her blind crush gets on my nerves, isn't it obvious he's grieving? Seriously chick, he's already broken his personal rules by falling in love with a companion, he's not likely to do that again soon and definitely not with the first person to come along, sorry.
Which leaves us with 4 that I think I would have to declare my favourite for 1 simple reason. Donna. I adore Donna. She was just exactly what he needed. Loud and brash and so decidedly not in love with him, but compassionate and more mature and just a true friend to him. Not to mention that Catherine Tate is just plain hilarious and the buddy chemistry between Catherine and David is just amazing. They are the perfect foils for the other's comedic instincts and they light up a the screen with how much they obviously enjoy working with each other. Season 4 is just hands down the funniest season and we all know that's usually the deciding factor with me.
Season 4, Doctor/Donna (this is beautifully edited):

Doctor Who: Day 10
Day 10 – A Who-Related Photo That You Took:
This one is fairly lame but it's the only Who related picture I've taken, unless you count taking a picture of the opening credits with my cell phone to be my wallpaper. Technically I wasn't even the one to take it, Leif was. It's just my Four scarf (that I knitted myself, pretty proud of that) hanging in our hotel room in London. If you look closely you can see a Tesco bag and a SFX magazine with Planet of the Dead stuff on the cover.

Doctor Who: Day 8
Day 08 – A Who-Related Photo That Makes You Happy:
This one was hard there are so many cute and/or happy pics that make me smile and I hesitated on my final choice because it ended so tragically but in the end I had to go with it because there was no other moment that quite so nearly brought me to joyful tears on first viewing as this one. The look on his face as he finally runs to Rose is just so (painfully when you know what happens next) joyful and relieved and as if several centuries had been lifted from his shoulders. So even though there are better pictures, and funnier pictures, and pictures from moments that weren't so bittersweet, I'm picking this as the single most joyful moment, ignoring any consequences after.

Doctor Who: Day 7
Day 07 – Your Favourite Piece of Music:
Surprisingly an easy one. Don't get me wrong, I adore Murray Gold's soundtracks, but while I would have trouble narrowing down my top 5 or 10, by #1 and #2 win by landslides. #2 is Doomsday; it makes me want to cry every time I hear it but it is just such a gorgeous piece of music, simultaneously old and weary and sad and melancholy yet youthful and hopeful and driven and determined, and romantic and just plain all around heartbreaking in the most beautiful way possible. (I also just adore the upright bass's central and unusually melodic roll; I do so adore the low strings) But as much as I can wax lyrical about Doomsday, it isn't my top choice. #1 is the beautiful, sweeping, This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home. I has something in the neighborhood of 130 play on the iTunes on my dead laptop, I love it that much. It literally gives me chills every time I listen to it, it it that perfect and beautiful. It is perfect as the theme for Gallifrey, the lost home world of the Time Lords, "The oldest and most mighty race in the universe; looking down on the Galaxys below.", full of ancient gravitas and majestic soaring strings, but with a powerful and alien edge and just a touch of melancholy. It is just so incredibly atmospheric and transportive and is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time, not just from Doctor Who.
This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home:
Also, here is Doomsday (Warning: Spoilers ahoy!):

I has something in the neighborhood of 130 play on the iTunes on my dead laptop, I love it that much. It literally gives me chills every time I listen to it, it it that perfect and beautiful. It is perfect as the theme for Gallifrey, the lost home world of the Time Lords, "The oldest and most mighty race in the universe; looking down on the Galaxys below.", full of ancient gravitas and majestic soaring strings, but with a powerful and alien edge and just a touch of melancholy. It is just so incredibly atmospheric and transportive and is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time, not just from Doctor Who.
This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home:
Also, here is Doomsday (Warning: Spoilers ahoy!):

Doctor Who: Day 6
Day 06 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy:
I believe I have made it quite clear that I am a hopeless David Tennant fangirl and as such, Ten is and always will be my favorite. However, that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this last season very much. I certainly had some complaints about it. I think the emotional connection with The Doctor has gone downhill, not sure if that is Matt or Moffat's fault, and there were several pretty weak episodes. But the one thing I loved, and I think may have even improved is the humor. Now that is entirely the writer's there, David is just as funny if not funnier than Matt. Now don't get me wrong, RTD is hilarious, it's just that his jokes tend to be more situational, or take a while to build; Moffat on the other hand is a master of the one liner. And I do adore one liners so. So for today here are some of the best funnies of season 5, there are some missing that I would have certainly included and a few that I went, "really?", over their inclusion but this is a pretty good representation. Enjoy!

Doctor Who: Day 5
Day 05 – Your Favourite Companion: Again soooo hard. I adore Rose, I am a hardcore Doctor/Rose shipper and a good 75% or more of the fanfic I read is Doctor/Rose stuff. And after Big Bang I am absolutely in love with Rory, he is quite possibly the sweetest guy ever (only excepting my darling husband). But I think in the end I have to say Donna. Donna is just so wonderfully funny and such a fantastic foil for Ten. She is just what he needed, someone who just wants to be a friend, no crushes, no complications; someone who won't take any of his crap and isn't too terribly impressed with him and his ego, someone who despite her brassy exterior is incredibly tender hearted and who truly cares about him and somehow manages to get him to open up a little and help him heal. And she is the funniest of all his companions and we all know that is the key to my heart.

Doctor Who: Day 4
Day 04 – Your Favourite Doctor:
This is probably the easiest question on here. Now don't get me wrong, I like all the Doctors (that I have seen). I love Tom Baker (4), Patrick Troughton (2), and Christopher Eccleston (9); and I absolutely adore Matt Smith (11, to my everlasting surprise!) But the Doctor that will forever be "My Doctor", my favourite and the one who captured my heart and imagination and made me fall in love with the show will always be 10, David Tennant. Sure he can get a bit mopey and emo at times, but he's rather entitled with what RTD put him through. David Tennant is a phenomenal actor and his skill is what made 10 so wonderful. The mercurial mood shifts, the bounce and life and energy, the manic grin, the depths of grief, his incredibly expressive face and eyes, the speed at which he can deliver rambling and complicated lines, even the costume choices. I mean, I enjoyed the first series but I don't think I was really truly hooked till the speech on the Sycorax ship "The great big threating button that must never ever ever be pressed under any circumstances." And I think I love ten even from "New teeth...that's weird." The fanfic authoress I ganked this off of summarized it well:
"...it was Ten--smirky and vulnerable and commanding all in one package--that sold me on the show. I was in love with him from almost his very first moment. Yes, we had our differences, he and I. I disagreed with many of his decisions, and I grew weary of his moping, and what he most needed was a good talking-to by SOMEONE (and I would have volunteered), but I almost feel like that just adds dimension to my affection for him. I find him bloody infuriating, and I know he'll grin in delight at some completely ridiculous thing and I'll forgive him. ~earlgreytea68 of Live Journal
That, right there, it absolutely it. Well... that and, how can any Whovian resist the Doctor who is played by the biggest geekiest fanboy of the lot of us.
Deep, beautifully acted melancholy, alien, and/or powerful Ten:
and some good old happy/funny Ten:

Doctor Who: Day 2
Day 02 - Your Favorite Classic Who Episode:
The Pirate Planet, with The City of Death a very very close second. My taste is rather predictable you will find when I tell you that those two episodes are the ones Douglas Adams wrote. (Douglas Adams as in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams) Sure the production values (and some of the supporting cast) are laughable, but the writing is fantastic as is Tom Baker as The Doctor. The City of Death also has the bonus of a hilarious John Cleese cameo.

Oops/Meme
Well so I kinda forgot about this. Oops. This isn't strictly a post either but a meme that's going around the Who fandom like the flu and i just couldn't resist joining in. But, as I lack a fic journal, I am posting this here
Day 01 - Your Favourite Quote
Oh Where to start! This is going to be a long list, bear with me...
"This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow. "
"Yeah, listen, listen, got to dash... things happening. Well... four things. Well... four things and a lizard."
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff... "
"The angels have the phone box"
" I shall be taking you to Old London town in the country of UK, ruled over by Good King Wenceslas. Now human beings worship the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws and his wife Mary. And every Christmas Eve, the people of UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner, like savages."
"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"
"Mr Copper: [on Christmas] It's a festival of violence! They say that human beings only survive depending on whether they've been good or bad! It's barbaric!
The Doctor: Actually, that's not true. Christmas is a time of, of peace, and thanksgiving, and... What am I on about? My Christmases are always like this!"
"The Doctor: I just want a mate!
Donna: You're not mating with me, sunshine!
The Doctor: A mate! I want a mate!"
"You fought it off with a water pistol! I bloody love you!"
"General Staal: General Staal of the Tenth Sontaran battle fleet. "Staal The Undefeated!"
Doctor: Oh that's no good. What if you get defeated? "Staal The Not-Quite-So-Undefeated-Any-More-But-Never-Mind?"
" He saves planets, rescues civilizations, defeats terrible creatures... and runs a lot. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of running involved."
"I'll just step into this police box and arrest myself"
"Adelaide: State your name, rank, and intention!
The Doctor: The Doctor. Doctor. Fun."
"I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack. A specific one, mind you, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."
"Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks 'Ooh, this could be a little more sonic'"
"Well, I've got a banana, and in a pinch, you could put up some shelves."
"The Doctor: Mister Spock?
Rose Tyler: What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name! Don't you ever get tired of "Doctor"? Doctor Who?
The Doctor: Nine centuries in, I'm coping."
"Mrs. Harcourt: My leg's grown back! When I come to the hospital, I had one leg...
Doctor Constantine: Well, there is a war on... is it possible you miscounted?"
"The Doctor: Who am I to argue with history?
Rose Tyler: Usually the first in line."
"The Doctor: Funny little human brains... How do you get around in those things?
Rose Tyler: When he's stressed, he likes to insult species.
The Doctor: Rose, I'm thinking.
Rose Tyler: Cuts himself shaving, does half an hour on life forms he's cleverer than."
"I'm the Doctor; I'm worse than everyone's aunt! ...And that is not how I'm introducing myself."
"Amy: Have you ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready, or just... just because you could?
The Doctor: Once. A long time ago.
Amy: What happened?
The Doctor: ...Hello!"
"The Doctor: The writing... the graffiti: Old High Gallifreyan. The lost language of the Time Lords. There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.
Amy: What does this one say?
The Doctor: ..."Hello sweetie"."
"Amy Pond: What if the gravity fails?
The Doctor: I've thought about that.
Amy Pond: And?
The Doctor: We will all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it!"
"There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick."
"Ah, here we go. Oh, my boys, my poncho boys, if we're going to die, let's go out looking like a Peruvian folk band."
"Amy: That's breaking and entering!
The Doctor: What did I break? Sonic-ing and entering, totally different."
"He is too skinny for words. You give him a hug you get a paper cut!"
" I'm stuck...on Earth like....like an ordinary person. Like a human! How rubbish is that? Sorry, no offense. But come on! "
"Donna Noble: Let me distract this one. I've picked up a few womanly wiles over the years.
The Doctor: Let's... save your wiles for later. ...In case of emergency."
"Ah! I'm thick! Look at me, I'm old and thick! Head's too full of stuff! I need a bigger head! "
"The Doctor: Nice door skills, Donna.
Donna Noble: Yeah, well, you know. Boyfriends. Sometimes you need the element of surprise."
"I'll try my hardest not to die. Honestly, it's the main thing."
"Everyone knows that everyone dies. And nobody knows it like the doctor. But I do think that all the skies in all the worlds might just turn dark, if he ever accepts it."
"Donna Noble: I made up the perfect man. Gorgeous, adores me, and hardly able to speak a word. What does that say about me?
The Doctor: Everything. ...Sorry, did I say "everything"? I meant to say "nothing". I was aiming for "nothing", accidentally said "everything"."
"Box falls out of the sky, man falls out of a box, man eats fish custard!"
"Do I have a face that nobody listens to? Again!"
"Well I just saved the world... the whole planet for about the millionth time, no charge, yeah, shoot me, I kept the clothes"
"I don't know! It's a thing in progress! Respect the thing."
"Blimey! Fish from space have never been so... buxom! "
"Tell me the whole plan! ...One of these days, that will work."
"Amy Pond: Shall I run and get the manual?
The Doctor: I threw it in a supernova.
Amy Pond: You threw the manual in a supernova... why?
The Doctor: Because I disagreed with it."
"Excuse me! I am making sense, you just aren't keeping up!"
"Don't dis the sonic!"
" Is this how time normally passes? Really really slowly, and in the right order?"
"Amy: Please tell me you have a plan."
The Doctor: No, I have a thing. It's like a plan, but with more greatness."
"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant."
"Annihilate? No. No violence, do you understand me? Not while I'm around. Not today, not ever. I'm the Doctor, the Oncoming Storm. ...And you basically meant beat them in a football match, didn't you?"
"The Doctor: You graffitied the oldest cliff face in the universe.
River Song: You wouldn't answer your phone."
"The Doctor: Okay, need a proper look. Gotta draw its fire, give it a target.
Amy: How?
Doctor: You know how I sometimes have really brilliant ideas?
Amy: Yes...
The Doctor: Sorry.
[The Doctor runs out from behind the Pandorica]
The Doctor: Look at me; I'm a target!"
"The Doctor: How can you be here?
Rory: Well - I don't know. It's... kinda fuzzy.
The Doctor: Fuzzy...
Rory: Well, I died, and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting."
"Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case always ignore a coincidence."
"River Song: I have questions, but number one is this: What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?
The Doctor: It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool."
"Jackie Tyler, Rose's mum... now, where the hell is my daughter?"
And two Torchwood quotes I couldn't resist adding:
"Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?"
"Hey! Sometimes a little technobabble is good for the soul!"
But... for all of those wonderful wonderful gems, my absolute favourite is:
"Amy Pond: I thought... well, I started to think you were just a madman with a box.
The Doctor: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box!
(looking back I realize that a vast majority of my favourite quotes were written by Steven Moffat, he really is the king of the one liner on Doctor Who)

Day 01 - Your Favourite Quote
Oh Where to start! This is going to be a long list, bear with me...
"This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow. "
"Yeah, listen, listen, got to dash... things happening. Well... four things. Well... four things and a lizard."
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff... "
"The angels have the phone box"
" I shall be taking you to Old London town in the country of UK, ruled over by Good King Wenceslas. Now human beings worship the great god Santa, a creature with fearsome claws and his wife Mary. And every Christmas Eve, the people of UK go to war with the country of Turkey. They then eat the Turkey people for Christmas dinner, like savages."
"I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?"
"Mr Copper: [on Christmas] It's a festival of violence! They say that human beings only survive depending on whether they've been good or bad! It's barbaric!
The Doctor: Actually, that's not true. Christmas is a time of, of peace, and thanksgiving, and... What am I on about? My Christmases are always like this!"
"The Doctor: I just want a mate!
Donna: You're not mating with me, sunshine!
The Doctor: A mate! I want a mate!"
"You fought it off with a water pistol! I bloody love you!"
"General Staal: General Staal of the Tenth Sontaran battle fleet. "Staal The Undefeated!"
Doctor: Oh that's no good. What if you get defeated? "Staal The Not-Quite-So-Undefeated-Any-More-But-Never-Mind?"
" He saves planets, rescues civilizations, defeats terrible creatures... and runs a lot. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of running involved."
"I'll just step into this police box and arrest myself"
"Adelaide: State your name, rank, and intention!
The Doctor: The Doctor. Doctor. Fun."
"I'm looking for a blonde in a Union Jack. A specific one, mind you, I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving."
"Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks 'Ooh, this could be a little more sonic'"
"Well, I've got a banana, and in a pinch, you could put up some shelves."
"The Doctor: Mister Spock?
Rose Tyler: What was I supposed to say? You don't have a name! Don't you ever get tired of "Doctor"? Doctor Who?
The Doctor: Nine centuries in, I'm coping."
"Mrs. Harcourt: My leg's grown back! When I come to the hospital, I had one leg...
Doctor Constantine: Well, there is a war on... is it possible you miscounted?"
"The Doctor: Who am I to argue with history?
Rose Tyler: Usually the first in line."
"The Doctor: Funny little human brains... How do you get around in those things?
Rose Tyler: When he's stressed, he likes to insult species.
The Doctor: Rose, I'm thinking.
Rose Tyler: Cuts himself shaving, does half an hour on life forms he's cleverer than."
"I'm the Doctor; I'm worse than everyone's aunt! ...And that is not how I'm introducing myself."
"Amy: Have you ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready, or just... just because you could?
The Doctor: Once. A long time ago.
Amy: What happened?
The Doctor: ...Hello!"
"The Doctor: The writing... the graffiti: Old High Gallifreyan. The lost language of the Time Lords. There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.
Amy: What does this one say?
