Oh The (Times And) Places You'll Go!

November 23rd. Today's the day!

"What day?" you ask. 
I stare at you, flabbergasted that this could even be something to wonder. "Why, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who!" I reply with an over exuberant smile, "Surely you must have seen a Facebook post from someone about it!"

----------------------------------------------

Really, the BBC knows how to work the fans. They've been making posts about their special episode for just about the entire year, slowly building up the excitement for today. One of the coolest things is that The Day of The Doctor is broadcast all over the world at the same time. How cool is that?! Millions of people- different ages, stories, races, countries- all watching the same movie at the same time, and likely with similar levels of excitement. It's a neat thought, especially when you can pop up your internet browser and see all of the posts from ecstatic fans all over the globe. 

Oh, and in case you are wondering, The Day of The Doctor completely lives up to it's hype!

Because I know too many people who are waiting to see it until they get caught up in the series, I shall refrain (oh, so difficult!) from posting any spoilers. Rather, I will post up bits of fun Doctor Who fandom goods for what will hopefully be your enjoyment :)

Google made a really fun logo and flash game for the day! Had such fun with this.
So far I haven't been able to find a link for you to go back and play it once it is removed, but here is a link with some fun animated variants of the Google Doodle:

(WARNING: Depending on how touchy you are with seeing tidbits of Doctor Who prior to watching the episode, this video may contain SPOILERS. But not many. It also links to other interesting videos. Have fun, if you so choose.)

Okay, I've sufficiently had my nerd moment. If you are not a Doctor Who fan, my deepest apologies. Don't worry, I do not generally go all fan-girl on this blog. A 50 year anniversary, though? That's something special, and special times call for special measures!

Now, you may go on with your life. Or you may go find another means of gaining your Doctor Who fix, depending on what sort of person you are ;)
