Doctor Who: Quotes by the Twelfth
Heya guys!! Doctor Who returns on April 15th which pretty much leaves me quite excited!! Except that I'll miss Clara, and that I'll have to accept the fact that there's going to be a new companion for the Doctor.
For those who are not familiar with the show, Doctor Who is a sci-fi TV series about a time traveler called the Doctor who constantly travels through time and space using a time machine that looks like a blue police box. The Doctor is a Time Lord, and he is (sadly) the last of his kind.
FUN FACT: I don't like Sci-Fi movies. So it's kind of weird (and geeky) for me to love the series.
Actually, I wanted to make a "Why You Should Watch Doctor Who" post, but I don't want to sound like I'm imposing something on my dear readers. I also wanted to write about the things I love about the series, but I don't know how to do that without spoiling anything.

Bold ones are my personal favorites.
Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I've lived for over two thousand years, and not all of them were good. I've made many mistakes, and it's about time I did something about that. Clara, I'm not your boyfriend.
Clara: I never thought you were.
Doctor: I never said it was your mistake.
