National Pharmacist Day

In the world of medication experts, these professionals ensure prescriptions are on point and everyone's health is in good hands.

National Pharmacist Day implores everyone to take a moment to think of all those important people who work as pharmacists. These are people whose job it is to mostly see people when they are sick with a cold or cough, need a refill on that asthma inhaler or even have a hangover. Or perhaps when someone has run out of toothpaste.

In any case, these helpful folks are able to assist people all over the world to feel better, even though they mostly only see them at their worst. So, now it’s time to learn about and celebrate National Pharmacist Day!

History of National Pharmacist Day

The practice of pharmacy got its start in ancient times when plants were used as drugs, and the practitioners might have been known as herbalists. Pharmacy even has roots in the Greek legend about Asclepius, the god of the art of healing.

The separation of physicians and pharmacy dates back to 1683 in Bruges, Belgium, where a law was enacted forbidding doctors from making medication for patients. By 1751, when Ben Franklin helped to establish the first hospital in the United States, Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, the first pharmacy was created in the US.

The role of the pharmacists changed significantly after World War II when the science behind drug development began changing rapidly.

Today, the pharmacists aren’t not responsible for actually making the pills and potions, but for storing them, fulfilling them with correct dosage, offering advice to patients, watching for mistakes or drug interactions and other duties that are vital to the health of billions of people all over the world.

How To Celebrate National Pharmacist Day

Looking for ways to get involved with National Pharmacists Day? Here are some great ideas to get started:

Visit a Pharmacist Just to Thank Them

Know a Pharmacist or a student of Pharmacy? Well, get out there and thank them on this important day.

In fact, perhaps on this special day, National Pharmacists Day, it would be a delightful idea to take a moment to visit a pharmacy with a smile on your face and a healthy bounce to your step – it’s certain to be a surprise to them! Pop up to the counter without a need for a medical refill or to buy cough syrup. Simply step up and tell them that it’s National Pharmacists Day and they deserve to be thanked!

Learn Some Important Facts About Pharmacists

Not sure what the person wearing that white coat does? Here are some interesting facts that might help people to understand a bit better:

Pharmacists Hold Doctorate Degrees At least in the United States, since the year 2000, all practicing pharmacists must hold a Pharm. D. (Doctor of Pharmacy Degree). In addition, they complete 1-3 years of residency and fellowship training.

Pharmacists Can Administer Vaccines All 50 of the United States allow pharmacists to administer at least some vaccines. Annual flu shots are the most common immunizations that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can administer.

Pharmacists Help with Medication Management When a patient is seeing several doctors, particularly for chronic conditions, it can get confusing when they are taking a variety of different medications. Pharmacists offer Medication Therapy Management (MTM) to help patients optimize their drug therapy resulting in improved outcomes.

Pharmacists Are Highly Accessible While getting to a doctor may be difficult or far away, 90% of Americans live within 5 miles of a pharmacy.

John Pemberton

La historia del hombre que inventó Coca‑Cola

Pemberton nació en 1831, en el seno de una familia acomodada de Georgia. Cursó estudios superiores, y a los diecinueve años ya tenía una licencia de farmacéutico. Estaba casado y tenía un hijo, las cosas le iban bien, cuando estalló la guerra civil estadounidense (1861-1865).

Puesto que el suyo era un estado esclavista y su familia sentía afinidad por la causa –su tío era John C. Pemberton, un importante general sureño–, se alistó en un regimiento de caballería del Ejército Confederado.

Sobrevivió al conflicto, pero tuvo la mala suerte de que, en la penúltima batalla, la de Columbus, recibió en el pecho una grave estocada de sable. La recuperación le provocó una adicción a la morfina, que entonces se usaba –sin demasiado control– como analgésico.

No era el único con ese problema. El trauma por lo vivido y las penurias de la posguerra hicieron que muchos veteranos cayeran en la adicción al alcohol y a los opiáceos. Estos últimos no se regularon realmente hasta el siglo XX. La neurastenia y la depresión campaban a sus anchas, también entre las mujeres.

Fue entonces cuando, regentando una farmacia en Columbus, se le ocurrió encontrar un sustitutivo de la morfina que fuera menos agresivo. Lo primero que hizo fue un jarabe al que llamó “Sirope de flor-globo del doctor Tuggle”. El ingrediente activo no era la Trollius, o globeflower (literalmente, flor-globo, en español), sino la Cephalanthus occidentalis, una planta muy común en la costa este, que se usaba con fines medicinales, pero que en las manos equivocadas puede ser tóxica.

Después regresó a su tierra natal, Georgia, donde siguió investigando, ahora con la hoja de coca. Puede sorprender que escogiera justo esa planta, cuando lo que pretendía era combatir su adicción a las drogas. Pero a finales del siglo XIX la coca aún se movía en un terreno muy ambiguo.

Algunos ya pedían su prohibición, y al mismo tiempo era muy popular en forma de bebida. Nos referimos al cocawine, una mezcla de vino y extracto de hoja de coca. Por su efecto estimulante, uno podía beber y beber sin tener la sensación de emborracharse. Sin embargo, al generarse cocaetileno en el hígado, el riesgo de muerte súbita era alto.

Esto lo sabemos hoy, pero no entonces. Pemberton elaboró su propio cocawine, y se le ocurrió venderlo, nada más y nada menos, que como un remedio contra las adicciones. La diferencia con el de la competencia era que el suyo contenía damiana, una planta que se usa como aromatizante, y nuez de kola, un fruto con cafeína que proviene de unos árboles africanos.

Vendió botellas a destajo, hasta que en 1886 la ciudad de Atlanta prohibió la venta de cocawine; curiosamente, no por la coca, sino por el vino. Se estaba apuntando en el Sur –siempre más puritano– lo que en 1920 se convertiría en ley seca para todo el país.

¿Qué hizo Pemberton? Se encerró en el laboratorio con su socio en la farmacia, Willis E. Venable, y juntos empezaron a mezclar mejunjes hasta dar, por prueba y error, con el que tuviera buen sabor. Nuez de kola y extracto de coca, la base iba a ser la misma, pero en lugar de vino, ahora prohibido, decidieron utilizar jarabe de azúcar. Accidentalmente, lo mezclaron con gaseosa, y aquello resultó ser una bebida de lo más refrescante.

El nombre Coca-Cola, abreviatura de los dos ingredientes principales, se le ocurrió a Frank Mason Robinson, el contable de Pemberton. Fue un acierto, pues la aliteración resultaba pegadiza. Mason también escogió el tipo de grafías para el logo, que con los años se haría universal. Usó la caligrafía Spencerian, por entonces común en documentos legales y en anuncios de empresas. Es, por ejemplo, la misma que aparece en el logo de firma automotriz Ford.

Aunque aún vendía poco, el inventor intuyó que aquella se convertiría, en sus palabras, en la “bebida nacional”. Pero no sería él quien lo hiciera posible. Previsiblemente, aquel refresco medicinal no consiguió contener su adicción a la morfina. Acosado por las deudas y la enfermedad, fue incapaz de retener la exclusiva.

Tampoco su hijo, que murió seis años después que él, también por culpa de los opiáceos. En ese lapso, un farmacéutico llamado Asa Griggs Candler les compró la receta y fundó The Coca-Cola Company.

Fue Candler quien, por la mala prensa de la cocaína, en 1904 empezó a usar solo las hojas desechadas en el proceso de extracción de la droga, y poco después, plantas totalmente libres del alcaloide. También introdujo la característica botella contour, clave para hacer el producto atractivo. Ahora sí, la Coca-Cola estaba lista para convertirse en la marca más famosa de la historia.

Sneak peak:

Before

May 30th, 1889

Isabelle could not think straight, there was too much going on at once. Thunder bellowed through the house. She was scrambling together all that she could with the limited visibility she had in the dark room. She let out a huff, her breath appearing before her. Too many thoughts were running through her mind at once but none of them were loud enough to hear.

All of a sudden a loud bang was let off in the distance.

She looked up for a second but realised quickly that she had no time to waste and desperately grabbed for her stuff. Eventually, she managed to get everything packed and was about to run out of her bedroom when she realized. “Shit” she breathed out. She had almost left her most important possessions.

She dropped her bag and ran straight to the bay window, fiddling around with the wooden panels under the cushioning. That is when two boys ran into the room, one her age and one slightly younger. “Oh thank god you’re okay, they are in the main house we have to go, now!” The older one cried.

Isabelle looked back to the panel and decided to leave it. Hoping that one day she would return. She ran to the door and grabbed her case with one hand and take the older boy’s hand as they ran through the house.

“We need to go out the back” He muttered, dragging two others to the back of the house and breaking the door open. The three of them ran out of the house towards the woods. A scream of a young girl rang out from the larger house. The three of them stopped in their tracks at the mouth of the woods.

The boy looked at Isabelle with remorse. No words needed to be said, she knew what he was thinking, she shook her head, feeling her eyes well up. “Jacob no it’s too dangerous, they’ll kill you” She cried. He placed both of his hands on her shoulders. “Take Peter and run, run far, and don’t look back” He instructed. “Jacob” her voice came out as a whisper.

“Promise me you won’t come back” he demanded.

“I can’t lose you,” she responded. “We will find each other again” He kissed her forehead. “I swear” Isabelle leaned into his touch. “Now run” he stepped away from them. “RUN!” He yelled before running to the house. Isabelle froze in place, her brother then tugged at her arm “Let’s go” he said, breaking her trance.

So they ran, and they ran, and they ran.

They eventually managed to catch a ride in a carriage that happened to be passing by on the other side of the woods. It was then that it hit her.

She had just lost everything.

Coke Adds Life-But Only for So Long

Next to sweet tea, grits, and the MoonPie, the greatest southern invention is Coca-Cola. Dr. John S. Pemberton, a Columbus pharmacist, developed the original formula for Coke syrup, which is still a secret recipe. Legend claims there is only one copy in existence and it is kept in a closely guarded location, more secure than the Declaration of Independence.

Pemberton's home and apothecary are preserved on 7th Street, complete with a Pemberton mannequin and re-created pharmacy. At his death in 1888, he was interred in the family plot in Linwood Cemetery, his slab engraved with ORIGINATOR OF COCA-COLA. Contrary to popular belief, Coke never contained cocaine, and the rumor that Pemberton was a morphine addict is also probably untrue. His greatest sin on this earth was selling the fabulous formula for only $1,175.

Also in Linwood is a large monument to the Moffett family, whose patriarch was a physician famous for developing Teethina Powder, an aid for infants. This monument has developed a strange phenomenon: a group of greenish ghostly faces. Mildew forming on the front of the stone resembles a man's face. If you happen to pass in front of the marker and walk off in either direction along the road, the eyes will appear to follow you, according to Jan Doolittle Page, whose website explores weird places in west central Georgia. And it gets weirder. "When you look at that image to the left of his head, kind of in the background, there appears to be an arm with a smoking pistol pointed toward the back of his head," Jan Page reports. "Mom and I did some research and found out that two duels played an important part in his life." On one side of the monument appears the image of a man with a bushy beard and a cap. On the other side is a woman with a full head of hair, a witchlike chin and nose, and a full skirt. Not exactly a couple with whom you'd like to spend eternity.

The History of Coca Cola

To get an understanding of the Coca Cola branding I went all the ay back and had a look at the history of the brand and how it was first made. I made some bullet points of the important information.

Created in Atlanta, Georgia on 8th May 1886 by Dr John Stith Pemberton who was a local pharmacist.

Dr Pemberton made the syrup where he sampled it at Jacobs’ Pharmacy, the feedback he received was “excellent”, so he started selling it for five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink.

The drink was a mix of carbonated water and the new syrup mixture that was described as “Delicious and Refreshing”. This is still a theme that is used today for Coca-Cola.

Frank M Robinson, who is Dr Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, he thought that “the two cs would look well in advertising”. He then created the hand drawn Coca-Cola logo which is still the same to this day and is easily recognisable anywhere around the world.

To advertise the drink to the public they used hand-painted oilcloth signs with the Coca-Cola logo in large. It also had the word “Drink” on it to tell the public that it was a new drink for soda fountain refreshment.

La spesa resistente

Breve storia del mito per eccellenza: la Coca Cola

È una storia che parte lenta. Siamo nel 1863, in qualche parte della Francia. Angelo Mariani crea una ricetta realizzata macerando delle foglie di Coca nel vino Bordeaux. L’ispirazione gli viene dopo aver letto un saggio dello scienziato Paolo Mantegazza di Monza. Nel testo, il medico italiano elogia le proprietà medicinali della pianta peruviana, avendola osservata e sperimentata durante un lungo soggiorno in Perù. Lo so, sto cercando di arrampicarmi sugli specchi per rivendicare un lontano contributo italiano alla Coca Cola, che ovviamente non esiste.

La bevanda di Angelo Mariani, conosciuta anche come Vino Mariani, una volta in commercio ha larga diffusione ed è conosciuta in tutto il mondo. Molte le celebrità ad apprezzarla, tra le quali: Papa Leone XIII e Pio X; lo Zar di Russia, il Principe di Galles, il presidente statunitense Mc Kinley e anche lo scrittore Emile Zola, autore de Il ventre di Parigi.

Preparazione

La bibita, si ricavava macerando sessanta grammi di foglie di coca in un litro di Bordeaux per circa dieci ore. La percentuale di cocaina per litro era tra i centocinquanta e i trecento milligrammi, per cui un bicchiere ne conteneva tra i venticinque e i cinquanta. Dosi infinitesimali. Il dottor Mariani apre sedi del prodotto in Europa e anche negli Stati Uniti, e comincia a vantare diversi imitatori. In seguito, la bevanda resta in commercio fino alla metà del ‘900 per poi essere progressivamente ritirata dagli eredi.

Stati Uniti

Vatti a fidare dei medici. Poco più di venti anni dopo l’intuizione di Mariani, un altro farmacista, John Stith Pemberton, ad Atlanta in Georgia, per rimediare ai fastidi del mal di testa e alleviare dalla spossatezza, (1886), pensa a una bevanda che si ispira al Vino Mariani.

Al posto dell’alcol, causa il proibizionismo vigente in Georgia nel 1886 (la cocaina fu rimossa dalla bevanda nel 1905 per una grande percentuale ed eliminata progressivamente dopo il 1929, in pratica scartando l’elemento psicotropo dalle foglie), utilizza estratti di noci di Cola, una pianta dei tropici. È ovviamente dovuto all’unione delle foglie di coca con l’estratto di cola, la derivazione del nome.

Se John Stith Pemberton avesse immaginato le prospettive dell’affare, avrebbe senz’altro pianificato un progetto. Il medico si reca alla farmacia Jacobs con un assaggio della sua bevanda. Qui è gustata e messa in commercio. Allo sciroppo di Pemberton, fu presto aggiunta acqua gassata, raggiungendo il gusto oggi conosciuto.

Era Candler

Il farmacista di Atlanta, però, oltre all’accumulo di debiti, non aveva ben chiaro il potenziale della bevanda e nemmeno il senso degli affari.

Non ne era sprovvisto, invece, Asa Candler, abile imprenditore, che in poco tempo, dopo aver acquistato le quote della società da Pemberton, oltre alle piccole percentuali che costui aveva già ceduto a piccoli commercianti, divenne il proprietario di Coca Cola company, il cui marchio fu registrato all’Ufficio Brevetti degli Stati Uniti nel 1893.

In quella che è definita l’era Candler, il quale era ben cosciente dell’importanza della pubblicità da potenziare notevolmente il settore marketing, nel 1895 la Coca Cola è bevuta in ogni angolo degli Stati Uniti d’America; nel 1899 comincia l’imbottigliamento su scala industriale (fino a quel momento, stiamo trattando di bibita al bicchiere). Nel successivo ventennio si passa da due stabilimenti d’imbottigliamento nel paese, a oltre mille.

Woodruff

Fu però, dopo il 1919, con l’acquisto della società da parte di un gruppo d’imprenditori capeggiati da Ernest Woodruff, e, nel 1923, con l’elezione del figlio Robert a presidente, che le sorti del colosso americano iniziarono l’espansione che si arriva fino ai nostri giorni. Perfino lo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale, fu un’opportunità di veicolare la bibita in ogni parte del mondo. Robert Woodruff s’impegnò personalmente affinché ogni soldato americano potesse acquistare una bottiglietta di Coca Cola per cinque centesimi, ovunque si trovasse.

Terzo millennio

Nel mercato globale la Coca Cola è certamente un simbolo, ma di cosa, è complicato stabilirlo con imparzialità. Per certi aspetti, è indice di democratizzazione, perché, per parafrasare Andy Warhol, la bibita è la stessa per il ricco e per il meno abbiente. Da un diverso punto di vista, manifesta lo strapotere industriale per antonomasia.

Nei supermercati, grazie a specifici accordi commerciali che il largo consumo gli permette, la Coca Cola può disporre di spazi espositivi superiori a qualunque altro marchio per cui, competere con Coca Cola, è impresa titanica.

L’impatto sull’immaginazione collettiva è totalizzante. Nel bene o nel male, è impossibile pensare a un mondo senza Coca Cola. Intere generazioni sono nate, cresciute con la Coca Cola. La Fanta, la Sprite (tutti marchi della company), e appunto la Cola, erano le bevande principali delle feste da adolescenti. Era una cosa che potevi bere sia col dolce, che col salato e anche senza mangiare. Refrigerava, effettivamente, ma non toglieva la sete: alimentava il bisogno e non volevi nient’altro che Coca Cola. Questo, a parte la riservatezza sulla ricetta, il suo segreto.

Sexual adventure

Like the Netherlands, prostitution is legal in Curaçao.

Near the airport is an adult resort called Campo Alegre (Happy Camp), a jaw-droppingly enormous brothel.

Because of the shape and color of the logo, locals discretely refer to the camp as "The Green Leaf.��

The $6 admission fee (they don't check identification) is so worth the adventure.

The sprawling open-air property was originally an army encampment.

And it has recently undergone considerable refurbishment: There's a sleek high-speed Internet cafe, a gift shop, a clothing boutique (that sells Falcon's Mike Branson dildos), a massage parlor, an S/M dungeon, a business center, a lounge bar and even a water fountain.

Campo Alegre is like a small town — with boulevards that guests can stroll through as they pass by the tiny 1940s cabins where the prostitutes live.

Except for a couple of restricted trips per week, the women are not permitted to leave, less they start independently cutting their own deals.

The employees keep in shape at the gym.

And after a sweaty workout, guests can watch them rinse off through the glass-walled shower stall. Upon a recent visit, I was told that I had just missed the annual "community day" — where locals are invited to inspect Happy Camp and see how well maintained it is.

Apparently, parents are encouraged to bring the kids.

Corporate sponsorship is big at Campo Allegre.

Huge neon-lit beer signs arch across the boulevards. But my Dallas civic pride burst with joy when I stumbled across gigantic meticulously tiled Coca-Cola logo.

In case y'all didn’t know, the first batch of Coke ever bottled came from Deep Ellum in 1902.

As I looked at the cabin directly in front of the Coke logo, an enormous dildo proudly stood inside the windowsill.

The vibe at Campo Allegre is strictly hetero.

However, during the Wednesday night strip shows, the johns apparently get a little frisky and the men are known to cruise each other — however, the down-low scene there appears way too dangerous for a tourist to dare attempt.

Original Site of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Dallas

One of the first companies in the nation granted franchise rights for the distribution of Coca-Cola in bottles, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Dallas produced the city's first bottle of Coca-Cola on this site on June 10, 1902.

J.T. Lupton of Chattanooga, Tennessee, was the principal owner, with an initial investment of $5,000.

Three employees handled the entire operation. They were: R.D. Twinam, company manager; Mr. Dixon, the bookkeeper; and Fred Welsh, who operated the bottling machine.

The employees sold 37 cases on the first day of production and delivered them in a one-horse wagon.

In the bottling process, glass Coca-Cola bottles were filled by using a hand-operated, foot-powered machine that held two bottles, one beneath the syrup and the other under the filling head for the carbonated water, where the bottles also were capped.

Bottles were reused and had to be hand-washed by putting cleaning fluid and steel pellets, similar to gunshot, into the bottles and shaking them vigorously.

By 1905, sales of Coca-Cola had increased such that the company moved the bottling plant to 1800 Wood Street.

From its small beginnings here in Deep Ellum, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Dallas, later renamed the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of North Texas, grew to more than 2,600 employees in 19 locations by its centennial in Dallas in 2002. (2002)

The Universal Drink

How Coca-Cola came to rule the world. In the fizzy world of carbonated beverages, today marked a notable anniversary.

On May 8, 1886, a pharmacist in Georgia named John Pemberton sold the first glass of Coca-Cola, inaugurating what is arguably the most successful product in history.

According to the beverage maker, Pemberton sold nine servings per day during the soft drink’s first year; by the time The New Yorker’s E. J. Kahn wrote about it, in 1959, that number had soared to forty thousand servings every minute.

European royalty drank it; so had Hitler.

The Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie imported special deliveries on his imperial plane—or he did, that is, until a bottling plant opened in Addis Ababa.

Despite the company’s astonishing rise, the quintessentially American creation was not without detractors.

Critics across the political spectrum derided Coke’s sweeping expansion, identifying “a new type of imperialism” in the form of “Coca-Colonialism.”

The Second World War had played a major role in the company’s global spread, but the Cold War was proving a serious obstacle.

(Although the Iron Curtain had a few cracks: Soviet-bloc athletes guzzled more Coke than anyone else at the 1956 Olympics, in Australia.)

At the end of the article, Kahn jokes that Coca-Cola might prove the key to global peace—a prophecy that didn’t come to pass, unfortunately, but one that did anticipate the company’s iconic “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” ad campaign, which launched a little more than a decade later.

Shared a Memory

Michael Pemberton, Class of 1971 and Roger Freedman, Class of 1969

When worlds collide…it’s a paradox. Or in this case, a pair o’ docs. Two former graduates of Will C. Crawford High School in San Diego reconnect face to face for the first time in over 40 years. Badass physicist (and one of the co-founders of the San Diego Comic Con) Dr. Roger Freedman made a trip to Statesboro to attend Georgia Southern’s graduation with his partner, Tori, so it was a perfect opportunity for the four of us (with J. Marie) to have a great dinner and catch up on the last four decades. Michael Pemberton post

Coca-Cola: A Journey of Success, Innovation, and Sustainability

The Birth of an Icon Coca-Cola’s journey began in the late 19th century when John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, created a unique concoction. This syrup, mixed with carbonated water, became the first-ever Coca-Cola, served at Jacobs’ Pharmacy. The brand rapidly gained popularity, marking the genesis of an iconic company. Unmatched Product Innovation The Classic and…

My opinion on Doctor Who series 4.

This show is starting to take over my life. Help me. I was really invested in this season, and as always, I don’t have anyone to obsess with, so I’m putting it out into the void of Tumblr for hopefully someone to see.

I love Donna when she’s with The Doctor, otherwise she’s a bit of a prick. But, that’s not exactly a bad thing I guess. I like how she’s more outspoken compared to the other companions.

Episode 1: I enjoy watching Donna trying to find The Doctor. It’s pretty satisfying and annoying seeing them just slightly missing one another. The scene with them communication through the window was interesting to watch. And the fat babies are absolutely adorable!

Episode 2: Loved the setting. The history episodes are always interesting for me. I liked how The Doctor used the term Volcano Day here for the actual Volcano. The clothes look amazing! And I did not expect to see the 12th doctor this early on!

Episode 3: Ood. The Ood are cool.

Episode 4/5: I didn’t mind these episodes. They were alright. Wasn’t the person who played the smart kid in the later seasons of Horrible Histories? I find I recognise people if they were in Horrible Histories (yes, even from the later seasons, somehow).

Episode 6: I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ONE! Georgia Tennant. She’s amazing. I knew she played The Doctor’s daughter, I just didn’t know exactly how that was going to have worked. It’s really interesting seeing David and Georgia interact in this episode. Did I cry? Heck yeah. I adore Jenny and I hope she comes in later seasons. It’s sweet seeing The Doctor interact with his daughter, especially knowing that he’s been a dad before.

Episode 7: I’ve never really looked into Agatha Christie’s works before, but I absolutely love the idea of doing a murder mystery with her. Loved the confrontation at the end as well. I need more of those. Also, the gay guys made me feel really sad. I spent the whole time hoping for them to be happy, but of course, one of them had to die :(

Episodes 8/9: The library is a cool idea as well as the creature who live in the shadows. If they were put in a more realistic situation, I’m pretty sure I’d get nightmares from them. River Song is an interesting character. I’m not particularly a fan at the moment for some reason, but I’m interested in her story (especially that she said The Doctor’s name). One thing I do love about her is that we see her ending first. We know what happens to her before we really know who she is. It’s also nice that she’s got a somewhat happy ending. And, as I was saying before, if someone’s on Horrible Histories, I recognise them easily. I was surprised to see Steve Pemberton there.

Episode 10: One of my favourite episodes of the season. Episodes where The Doctor is on his own are always interesting to me. I’m not usually a fan of episodes where they’re trapped on a ship, but I really liked this one. They had a unique Alien to deal with. It was pretty funny seeing all the passengers communicating with one another. Jethro was definitely my favourite character out of the passagers (minus the doctor). I like how he doesn’t take it serious.

Episode 11: Loved the concept, but it made me feel kinda depressed by the end of it. Nice to see Rose again. One thing I didn’t say earlier is that I love how she’s hinted throughout the season.

Episode 12/13: Nice to see the gang all together. Not happy that Harriet Jones died! I love her! Still find it funny that everyone knows who she is. I’m kinda fed up with the salt shakers though. Can they die for real any time soon? The ending with Donna was so sad because he can’t say what he wants to. Just like with Rose.

The Next Doctor: This was unique. I’m not going to say it’s my favourite episode, but it was fun to watch someone convinced they’re The Doctor.

Planet of The Dead: Found this one fun to watch to. I love getting to know a bunch of characters, who you’ll probably never see again after that episode. In addition, I was surprised how little people died throughout the whole thing. Christina was a nice character.

The Waters of Mars: Most of this episode was spent yelling at my TV because The Doctor wouldn’t leave. It’s an interesting concept, but the ending made me a little annoyed with The Doctor.

The End of Time: Who doesn’t like Wilfred? He’s great! I love his relationship with The Doctor. The way The Doctor started crying when he told Wilfred he knew he was going to die. Urgh! That hurt. And Lawry Lewin was in it! Love Horrible History actors (if that wasn’t obvious by now). I kinda ship The Doctor and The Master. Did since their first interaction. They seem really close together, no matter if they’re enemies. They kind of only have one another given their situation. I always want to learn more about The Time Lords, but I’m guessing I’m not going to be a fan of them.

The ending though. That hurt. I could feel the pain when Wilfred knocked 4 times. The montage of him getting his reward was so adorable though! It’s so cool how they managed to fit so many seasons into less than 10 minutes. Seeing all the references in the bar was probably the best. Jack being Bi is also cool as you don’t see many Bisexual people in media. Some of the moments in that montage really hit hard. My favourite episodes were 3x8 and 3x9 so him going to that book signing was sweet. Especially since he still cares for Joan. And him going to Rose before they met. That was quite sad, especially since she doesn’t know who he is at that point.

I’m sad to see David go. I actually started watching this show because of Good Omens, so David Tennant was the main reason I stayed. I do adore this show though, and I’ve heard good things about Matt Smith, so I’m guessing the next few seasons will be great too. I can’t believe I put this show off for so long! The newer show started before I was born, so I’ve literally been putting this off my whole life. I did watch a few episodes when I was younger. It’s practically inevitable being British. I never really understood why people liked it back then, but I do now. I remember having nightmares over the first episode with the moving mannequins and I had a fear of the Weeping Angels (definitely blame Lego Dimensions for that one). I’m pretty sure I watched nearly a full season with the 12th doctor with my parents when it was coming out.
