"Any where you want, any time you want. One condition: it has to be amazing."
Back to the Future was one of my favorite movies when I was growing up and ever since, I've loved time travel stories wherever they turned up, no matter how gimmicky. And then I come to college and I meet some people who are pretty into Doctor Who and it seems like it should be a really good fit, right? Only it isn't.
Maybe the problem is that my introduction to the series was the incomparable "Blink," which is a must for any fan of sci/fi or horror. Blink is an absolutely terrifying work of fiction. Doctor Who is mostly about a cheery British fellow who goes on fantastic adventures and uses time travel as a very loose framing device.
So if I apparently hate this guy so much, why would I want to put him on my badly-photoshopped phone? Because I like Doctor Who.
