How To Get Over Ten

After Doctor Who: The End Of Time part one & two aired, I posed a question via my Twitter account asking fans, "How Do You Get Over Losing Ten?" Reason being is that David Tennant's turn as the Tenth Doctor is deemed the best incarnation of the beloved character; beating out perennial favorite Tom Baker! Personally, David is on my list in this order:

1. Tom Baker ( The Scarf.. Nuff said!)
2. David Tennant (Geek chic ala Scottish Bloke!)
3. Peter Davidson (Cricket anyone?)
4. Jon Pertwee (He might have been a dandy, but the man was awesome!)
5. Paul McGann (Seriously. He was the best thing out of that 1996 movie!!)
6. Patrick Troughton (Mad clown!)
   

As most of us sat on our beds, chairs, sofas, etc. crying watching Ten leaves before our eyes (yeah, I cried and I know you did as well!) it was an emotional night. There was something David brought to the role that made us feel for Ten deeply like no other Doctor before him; even though we knew for over a year David decided not to stay.. *sniffs* For some people, this was their first Doctor. But for others, like myself, we had seen the character regenerate before. I must say that this regeneration was massive and completely topped any previous regeneration!

The responses to my question was hilarious! So, I have compiled the list here :)

1. Watch Series 2, 3 & 4 over and over until all dialogue is memorized and David's English & Scottish accents are perfected!
2. Read Doctor Who Fan Fics and imagine yourself in the TARDIS with Ten, after dropping Rose in a wormhole!
3. Watching fan videos on YouTube.
4. Making several fan videos and posting them on all Whovian fan sites!
5. Avoid reality by not watching The End Of Time parts one & two and repeating, "Ten did not regenerate!" over and over.
6. Pray the new writers are fans of the old Who's "The Five Doctors", "The Three Doctors" etc., so that Ten makes an appearance during Matt Smith's tenure.
7. Talking to other geeks/nerds for Ten Therapy Sessions.
8. Look forward to all the other things David will do.
9. Eat ice cream and watch Doctor Who box-sets.
10. Join YouTube Tenth Doctor tribute video contest.
11. Call up a friend and sob about Tens good old days.
12. Stalk David Tennant and beg him to go back to Doctor Who.
13. Stalk Steven Moffat and beg him to have Matt Smith regenerate into Ten again (wibbly wobbly, timey, wimey..)
14. Listen to every podcast with David Tennant.
15. Watch DW parodies from TimeLordFromHell and other fans.
16. Vote for the NTA's, knowing that you live in the States and that the vote may not be counted...
17. Tweet, email, & stalk NBC and tell them to pick up Rex Is Not Your Lawyer for Fall
18. Watch Hamlet!
19. Watch Secret Smile!
20. Watch Blackpool, Casanova, Einstein & Eddington, and Recovery!
    

Thanks to all my Twitter Whovians for their responses :D

Tragedy in Hollywood

Actress Brittany Murphy passed away unexpectedly Sunday , December 20th, 2009 of an apparent heart attack.
She was 32 years old..

Murphy got her break as Taj in the 1995 movie, 'Clueless'. She has also appeared in 'Uptown Girls', '8 Mile', 'Sin City', 'The Groomsmen', 'Little Black Book', 'Just Married', 'Riding In Cars With Boys', 'Girl Interrupted', and a host of other films and television shows. She was also the voice of Luanne on Fox's 'King Of The Hill' and Gloria in the 2006 animated film, 'Happy Feet'; in which she also provided the singing voice.

At the time of her passing, Brittany had three movies in post production and two in pre-production.

I remember seeing her in Clueless and I thought she was hilarious as Tai, the skater-weed head tuned pet project of Cher and Dionne. She seemed real in her portrayal and in other films. As with the business, she slimmed down and at only 5'5", she looked tiny. When I was a teen, I looked up to a lot of young Hollywood actors because they were in my age group, good at their craft and making a name for themselves. Although we had different backgrounds, I saw her as someone who I could identify with.

Now let me state this.. When a young person dies, people want to know why. What shocked me was the vast amount of people via Twitter stating she died because of drugs or whatnot. I'm not saying if she did or didn't. I wouldn't know and you don't either. So far, the Los Angeles Coroner is stating natural causes. Personally, I think the Hollywood Ideal (you must be this small to be a successful actress) had something to do with it and her health was probably suffering. She quite possibly had other health issues as well. We do not know. But I will say this, young people die every day of heart attacks. Youth has nothing to do with it. We put a lot of stress on our bodies (women especially) to fit molds, gain acceptance, work, live, etc. that it can have a devastating affect on not only our psyches, but out bodies as well. I say let her rest in peace and leave the speculations in the trash! We have an economy, jobs, health-care, etc. to worry about.

My heart and condolences go out to her mother and her husband, her friends, and those who knew her best.

Rest In Peace Brittany... Tell Jonathan I said hi. :)
