When being a Who fan results in personal injury…

Being a Doctor Who fan isn’t all fun and games… especially when it involves a scarf that’s typically over 12 feet long… consider this a Doctor Who PSA of sorts…

I’m sure many of us have made the iconic Doctor Who Scarf for ourselves or loved ones.

I’m not ashamed to admit the length took some getting used to. Getting stuck in subway or car doors, or really any door for that matter, is somewhat of a Who-head rite of passage…

Stories from fellow fans like this one from TheCraftyCat (craftster.org) remind us of the dangers of being such a devoted fanatic:

He was driving down the interstate at 65mph, and failed to notice when he got in the car that part of the scarf was outside the door. The scarf got caught in the rear tire, nearly strangling him. He was able to pull over safely, and no one was hurt … But, yeah, word of warning - be careful if you wear that scarf in a car.

… also, be very careful with revolving doors… it creates quite a scene and I assure you, your friends will enjoy hours of comedy at your expense…

“Doctor Who” S3 on Sci-Fi Channel

Doctor Who on the Sci-Fi Channel

Doctor Who S3 finally lands state-side on the Sci-Fi Channel today, with future episodes on Friday nights at 8pm (est).

I’m looking forward to (re)watching the entire series again. It’s always interesting to see the reactions of the new viewers (i.e. those not rabid enough to find their own means of watching DW episodes the second they’re out) in the OG forums.

Transformers versus Daleks… Who would win?

Being a dome-head means just about anything reminds me of Doctor Who.

Transformers far exceeded my expectations. The cg was breathtaking! Of course, I’m sitting there wondering who’d win in a battle, Daleks or Transformers.

At first I thought this was a tough one. Then I remembered, Daleks always win.


Dalek Sec vs Optimus Prime

Dalek Gelth and other finale wtf-ness

Hmmm… Toclafane… really…

These mechanic-looking beings came from a void-ish type hole, turns out they’re simply vehicles for a mutated creature

… and wait… hey, I know that voiceGelth? Is that you?

Although, I will admit, that being pro-Dalek I am very, very, very glad the Daleks weren’t called upon to save the day again… After two series finales, I think they deserve some well-earned time off!
