Anyway, we were in a robust argument about whether the colonial or the post-colonial Doctor was better (and had to explain to the kid what post-colonial meant) and mr delagar, who prefers the colonial Doctor got snotty and wondered why I wasn't looking for a post-patriarchal Doctor, and I pointed out to him that's exactly why he doesn't like Donna Noble episodes, duh, b/c she's smart and not Ms. Sex Class, and yes, of course I have noticed that the Doctor had never morphed into a women, why do you suppose that is, I asked the kid, and she got a terrified look on her face and claimed, swiftly, that it was b/c he was a guy, of course, guys CAN'T turn into women, and I lifted my eyebrows in the way I do and she fled the room.
"He's an alien," I shouted after her. "Please! AS IF!"
"Shut up!" she yelled back. "Shut up shut up shut up!"
She hated it when I make her head explode.
Anyway: later we found all sorts of cool Dr. Who merchandise on the web, so she decided to speak to me again. She wants a Bad Wolf: No Biscuit teeshirt. I want a What Would the Doctor Do coffee mug. When we have some money, if we ever do, we're gone to buy them.
