The "Doctor" is In

By Haley Myers

A madman with a box has taken the hearts of viewers not only in England, but in America as well. Who is this "Doctor," and how did his resurface capture the hearts of young audiences?

Doctor Who is the oncoming storm, which is something that the Doctor has been known to refer to himself, of the 21st century.  He and his companions travel through space and time in his time machine, the TARDIS, which stands for time-and-relative-dimension-in-space. 

With the help from friends he makes along the way, and his trusty screwdriver, the Doctor saves not only planet Earth, but other planets and galaxies across the universe.


The Doctor Who fandom is continuing to grow since its re-launch back in the early 2000's. 

Likewise, Montevallo's Whovian Society was founded just last year, and is continuing to grow.  "That's what I like the most," says Victoria Houston, president of the club, "not the people within the show, but outside the show... the fandom that is Doctor Who."

 Each week they watch a Doctor Who episode, ranging from season to season, and even came up with a game they like to call Doctors vs. Angels.  It's basically like freeze/flashlight tag, but with a whovian twist, which they play on Main Quad. 

The club meets every Wednesday night in Comer 205 from 8-9 pm, and you can find out the latest events happening with the club on their Facebook page.
