Movie and TV series Favorites 

PictureThe Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her 3 companions from present-day Earth.

​Here are movies and TV series who Alicia regards as her favorites (more to be added as Alicia's time permits):

1. Doctor Who (1963 to present day) - great cast! 13th Doctor was a surprise (in multiple ways) when she at the end of the episode "Twice Upon a Time" (2017) appeared at the very end after Peter Capaldi (12th Doctor) regenerated. This for me was a shocking moment. I did not expect the main character of this TV series to go through a sex change. Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor, at first, was difficult for me to accept as this well established character, but as each episode 2018 - present day was viewed, I realized this change allowed the Doctor's character to discuss things pertinent to women, family and girls. It was a way for them to modernize this TV series. The 13th Doctor has ended up an exquisite positive role model for girls. This Doctor is honest, brainy, strong, beautiful, caring and a staunch humanitarian. She comes off as motherly, youthful and fun to be around. I like her a lot.

​12th Doctor played by Peter Capaldi held his own. Turned out to be one of the best Doctors. December 2017, it was sad to bid him farewell as his character The Doctor regenerated for the 13th time. Peter Capaldi, like all the others before him, handled the regeneration aspect perfectly, bowed out gracefully. Thank you for ending up another favorite Doctor of mine.
