Meet the Thirteenth Doctor

They did it! They made the 13th Doctor a woman. This is going to be interesting. I know there will be those that read this and say, Why make the Doctor a woman, blah blah blah blah. The Doctor has been twelve men, TWELVE MEN. Story wise, if you think of it that way, it makes sense to make the Doctor a woman. It creates different story avenues and it is something different from before. When writing a story, especially one that has been on as long as Doctor Who, one has to make changes like this eventually. Otherwise, the stories become stale and predictable. Of course, I know there are those on the internet saying, this is just feminism or SJW pandering. Or one can think of it as socially, and culturally people are ready or more inclined to accept a female version of The Doctor. Personally, I think this will be awesome

Interesting thought, all the male doctors' companions have been female. Will the thirteenth doctor's companion be male or will they stay with the Doctor choosing female companions?

Also, they have made a point that The Doctor and Timelords choose, subconsciously, their face. So why did the Doctor choose this face?


I can't wait til Captain Jack finds out the Doctor is a woman. Then again he would have had sex with the Doctor when he was a man too LOL.


On a side note. I know the actress Jodie Whittaker from Broadchurch and I believe Attack the Block. I think I have seen her in something else but can't recall. Here is hoping the fourteenth doctor is Hayley Atwell (simply cause I love me some Hayley Atwell.).

VIKINGS

I stopped watching the history channel when they started producing reality shows. In the past they called the channel the Hitler channel because it had so much War World Two programming. Then with the reality shows it was called the Hick channel. With a show like Vikings the channel proves it can put forth really good dramas based on historical figures, and cultures. History more of that, just do more of that.
Vikings title says it all. It follows a group a Vikings who are the first to travel west to what is now England. The show is really good and has one of my favorite characters in all of TV, Lagertha. (Her story alone is worth the watch)

Billions in Change

The founder and CEO of 5 Hour Energy has become a billionaire from the sales of his product. He has decided to give 99% of his four billion dollar wealth to making inventions to help solve problems that hurt the poor around the world. He focuses on two subjects, cheap Energy and drinkable Water but also on medical science. This documentary shows some of the inventions his team at "Stage 2" have created.
Watching this I imagine what if we made it mandatory for every company to create divisions like Stage 2. These division would be dedicated to different sciences but always on helping make life better for the poor and humanity. The world would be a different place very quickly.

National Geographic Evacuate Earth

This documentary is a "what if" humankind hand to leave the Earth due to some outside catastrophe. This has some very interesting ideas. The people and scientist who make these shows always seem to have a very high esteem for people. I say that because I don't think this sort of thing would happen as smoothly as they do in these kind of shows. I see a great deal of fighting, physical, verbal, and political. But to it's credit this show does not shy away from the truth of money, violence, and people's irrationality.

CONTINUUM

Continuum is one of my favorite shows and one of the best on TV. Continuum is a Canadian show, it also airs on the Syfy channel in America. This show is amazing. It has many stories, plots and ideas relevant to many social, political and even cultural events happening in the world today.

Kiera Cameron (played by Rachel Nichols) is a CPS (City protection services) protector in the year 2077. She is very good at her job. Her latest case brings her against a terrorist group. The worst in her time.

Liber8 is a terrorist organization. When Kiera comes to apprehend them. They bomb the Corporate Congress. One has to understand that in 2077 corporations run the world literally. The heads of the most powerful corporation are part of the Corporate Congress.

Liber8 are found guilty for their crimes. At their execution instead of their deaths they are sent back in time to the year 2012. This was not planned by the corporations.

In 2012 they recruit more members using the web, flyers and action as calls to arm. Liber8 idea is simple, they believe they can bring freedom from the rule of the Corporate Congress if they change the past. They will use killing, kidnapping, bombing, whatever it takes to ensure a new future.

Liber8 plan may have worked but unknown to them CPS Protector Kiera Cameron was also sent back with them.

When Kiera is sent back she instantly links up with Alec Sadler. In the future he runs one of the most powerful corporations in the world SadTech. But in 2012 he is only a teenager.
Unlike Liber8, Kiera wants the future to be the same as she left it so she can return to her family, to her son.
Here is the reasons I love this show. It is difficult to say who is the "good guy". The show follows Kiera but in truth I can't say she is the hero of the story. You see Liber8 uses tactic that are horrible but their cause is just. They are fighting to end slavery and corporate domination. The future is bright for those who do as they are told but for the poor and individuals it can be a horrible place. Kiera is CPS which are police in the future but CPS works for the corporations. To her the future is not so horrible or at least she lives in denial about it. She may even agree with Liber8 if they weren't placing the people she cares for in danger. As far as Kiera is concerned she will do anything to make certain the future stays the same even if that means condemning everyone to a future with no freedom.

Perhaps when she returns she would fight for that freedom but for now she will not allow Liber8 to change her future, her home.

An ongoing theme in this show is "who will own the future". Who gets to decide what the future will be? What right does any of them have to decide the fates of others?

Some much more is going on in the story I can't write it all, plus it would be spoilers. If you are not watching this show you should be.

Continuum has some cool technology.

Travis Verta played by Roger Cross is a super soldier of the future. He is the militant, aggressive force of Liber8.
