Six Reasons Why "Blink" Is The Best First Episode To Watch When Getting Into Doctor Who

Remember, Don't Blink.

You have heard so much about Doctor Who, and you want to start watching, but you really have no idea where to start! The Best Episode to start off with is the 10th Episode of the 3rd Season of Doctor Who (rebooted).

Try not to blink.

1. The Weeping Angels.

There are many creatures on the show, and the names are hard to remember. The Angels --they are the easiest creature to learn about on Doctor Who and the most memorable.

2. The Doctor's Presence

The Doctor is BARELY in the episode and it STILL makes a great show.

Seriously, he appears in the episode for at least a total of 5 minutes, though he is mentioned a couple of times.

This is the point in the show where you either connect or don't connect with this doctor. This is the 10th Doctor played by the dashing Mr. David Tennant.

3. Sally Sparrow & Co.

You learn about the Angels from someone who has NEVER met the Doctor.

Since it’s your first time seeing any kind of extraterrestrial being in Doctor Who, it is such a great way to meet them -- by the way of someone JUST like you.

4. TARDIS AND SPACE TIME TRAVEL 101

You meet the doctor indirectly, and he explains what The TARDIS does and how he travels. When Sally “meets” the Doctor via the video, that’s the first time you meet the doctor (not counting Shipton). He tells you everything about space and time. And even though the sentence gets away from him…he sorta explains about space and time.

5. You Learn the Progression of a Doctor Who Episode!

It also goes through the way of an episode of Doctor Who.

You meet characters that you will only know for one episode that you will love or hate.

6. And you learn that David Tennant is the BEST.
