Comic Con Back In San Diego

I am wearing one of my favorite

Doctor Who

 t-shirts today.

The one picturing the first

Eleven Doctors.

People were asking if I have been,

or if I am,

going to

Comic Con

this year.

I Wish!

I have been to a comic book convention in

San Jose, California

before,

but nothing compares to the

San Diego Comic Con.

The problem is,

the big crowds

and the cost.

I would not mind buying some kind of

VIP Pass,

if they sold one.

So I could move around easier.

Otherwise,

I am contented on knowing that I am close to being an

O.G. Doctor Who Fan

as there is in the world.

I have been watching

Doctor Who

since 1975,

collected and recorded video tapes of the show,

when they still made video tapes,

went to web-sites dedicated to the show during the 1990s,

was gifted an

Sonic Screwdriver

by my kids,

and got four of my children hooked as

Whovians,

 and so on.

Actually,

that part about getting my children hooked might have more to do with

David Tennant

and

Matt Smith

then me influencing my four girls.

 

From

BBC.com/news 

at

Comic Con.

"Here is a glimpse at the new look Doctor Who."

When the Doctor gets regenerated, it always marks the beginning of a big change in the series - a whole new look, new assistant and this time, a whole new gender. We all know that Jodie Whittaker is taking over and Comic-Con fans were treated to a glimpse of the first female Doctor at a time when gender in film and television is a huge talking point. Showrunner Chris Chibnall, who was part of a panel made up of Whittaker, her companions Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole, plus exec producer Matt Strevens, said this series is different as it features writers of colour for the first time, along with female guest writers, directors and editors. "People need to know the business is for them as well," Strevens said. The trailer, which was shown to audiences, also appeared to confirm rumours that one episode will explore the civil rights movement in the United States. One shot shows the Doctor and her friends in front of a building which bears more than a strong resemblance to the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee where Martin Luther King was shot dead in 1968.

In the background the words 'Montgomery Motor Freight' can just be made out. The city of Montgomery is where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger and was arrested. It sparked huge protests involving Parks and a young Martin Luther King. Montgomery later became known as the home of the Civil Rights movement.

 

The crowd not only got to see the new trailer, but also the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver. Whittaker revealed it to fans on stage and it appeared to have had quite the makeover, although the screwdriver still had its iconic sound, so there's no need to panic!

This is,

Knowing That Some Of My Kids Are Truly Happy That

Charmed

Is Coming Back This Fall

With A Whole New Cast,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Big flashy things have my name written all over them. Well... not yet, give me time and a crayon.”
- Matt Smith -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
