Last time we found our heroes… • Mostly around Jupiter • With a strange alien and or robot friend (btw robit is a joke, do NOT spell robot like that) • Firing Lasers • In some kind of trouble • And the main character was human
And the overall mood of the Twilight Zone writing was… • Extremely Depressing • The most common theme being ‘Death kills both the man and the girl for wasting his time (or out of spite).’ • There were also a handful of ‘Death kills all the children too…’

Introduction to the Doctor Who Universe… So there’s this guy, and he’s called The Doctor. He is an alien known as a ‘Time Lord’. He can travel through time and most of his adventures involve solving some kind of problems. Settings include several places from World War 2 to alien planets. He usually has a human as a companion with him on his trips. He generally has no weapons other than high intelligence.
Additionally, the Doctor can regenerate when killed. When he does, he is still a Time Lord, but he becomes a completely new person(ality). The introductory episode we will be watching today features the Doctor’s 11th incarnation, played by Matt Smith.For non-Doctor Who people in the room, any questions?
