I saw on the "Be Careful What You Wish For" thread that you don't know what Doctor Who is about and think that it's random. Well, it isn't. Well, it is now, the way Steven Moffat is writing it, but it didn't used to be. So, New Who, 2005 to the present, is about the Doctor, who I see you know a little about, after what is known as the Time War, which destroyed his species, the Time Lords, and his home planet of Gallifrey. Basically, he picks up companions from anywhere and everywhere and takes them to random places on whims. There are usually overarching plots to the seasons that make sense, but lately (from "The Eleventh Hour" onward) it's been very ridiculous and has begun to contradict confirmed canon. Not to mention that it's been completely reworked to show the full expanse of Steven Moffat's ego. But basically, it's a bittersweet, humorous, sci-fi teen show that is all one really needs in life besides food, water, sleep, and a toilet.
