Irrelevant But Awesome

Listen to that DuckTales theme song again. What in it couldn't also apply to the Doctor?

I can't decide if this is super awesome or super terrifying. Perhaps if the Daleks weren't shouting their catch-phrase of genocide and abject subjugation in contrast to adorable children? I mean, do these Daleks even speak or was that just for dramatic effects? Because I would find genocidal shouting to be a bit disconcerting on my street and around small children. If there wasn't any sound it would be okay. I'd totally want that if I was a kid (who was familiar with Doctor Who). I do like the theme music they use in this commercial.

I mean, really, if Craig Ferguson is going to this trouble, it has to be awesome. "It's all about the triumphs of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism." That really should be on a shirt or something. (See I said it would be something happy.)

At the moment I'm watching alot of Star Trek: The Next Generation and getting involved in the mythology of that series. Of the series currently on air, I'm adore Doctor Who. I'm just dripping my toes into comics/graphic novels to try and keep my literacy up. Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is a good introduction to comics for anyone looking to try. As my fellow Awesome-ites know I'm also a very interested in the social and cultural politics of being girl nerd/geeks and geek/nerds of marginal status. I tend to interject feminist analysis in everything I do, especially in a culture still so dominated by traditionally male concepts and ideas. With that said.
