Doctor Who summed up in pictures

I'm pretty sure this is what Doctor Who is about.
I did a Google search, and Google doesn't lie; that'd be evil.



The main character looks Human, but isn't Human, and is known simply as "The Doctor".



He travels through time and space in a phone box.



And uses a nifty gadget knows as a "sonic screwdriver".



He often travels with at least one... Companion.

And that pretty much sums it up.

Just finished "Firefly"; now what?

So I attend my fair share of Cons, and there are tons of franchises out there that I keep hearing about, but am not really familiar with.

Leading up to Star Trek (2009), my wife and I watched every episode of Star Trek; TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT.

But outside of Trek, I was pretty lost.

Christmas 2010, my wife got Buffy the Vampire slayer (the movie).

It was as lame as ever, but it motivated her to start watching the show; which I had never seen.
And based on the movie, I was okay with that.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good the show was, and we watched the entire series.

After that, we stumbled upon Doctor Who. We had been meaning to look into the series, and Xfinity had the current season on On Demand.
Which means we started with the Eleventh Doctor.

We then went back to the beginning of "New Who" and got all caught up.

I've also been dabbling in classic Who.

On my own, I watched the Battlestar Galactica remake (I watched the original as a child, but don't remember much).

And in December I watched my first episode of Firefly
And then my parents bought me the series for my birthday :-)

I watched the last episode today.


So what now?

Serenity; obviously.

But what else, that's good, have I missed?
