Testing... 1,2,3 and also "Dalek"

I feel I should dispel any high expectations right off the bat. 'Linda the Nerd and her Adventures' makes my life sound much more interesting than it is. I figured I would use this space as a place to tell people about what's happening in the nerd hub that is our home and maybe post quick reviews about shows and games. And maaaayyyyybbbbeee there would be legitimate excitement thrown your way too if you follow. But I don't want you to be on the edge of your seat waiting for the crazy to hit you in the face. My life isn't that exciting.

For those who don't know me, I guess I should introduce myself and my little family. My name is Linda (but if you were astute, you would have surmised that from the name of this blog...) and I am 29 years old. I married my best friend and Dungeons and Dragons partner Aaron in 2007. In 2008 we welcomed Gavin in to the world, and hope to imbue him with our nerdiness so that it can be carried on through the generations. In 2013 we welcomed Luna in to our home, our giant Newfoundland/Lab mix.

Aaron is in the Army National Guard and will be training with them until March 2015 (I can hear what you're thinking, 'Wow, that is a long time.' Yes, yes it is and every other person who knows how long he'll be gone has already told us that, so keep that bit to yourself.) I have decided that Gavin and I should watch all of the seasons of Doctor Who before he returns. Technically, my goal is to catch up on every episode since 2005 until now by August when the new seasons start. We started a little over a week ago and we just finished episode 6 of series 1, Dalek. My thoughts are as follows:


  • Who is that little British guy? Is he trying to get smarmy with Rose? Because I want Rose and the Doctor to end up together, and I am not a fan of this new tag along right now. GET OFF HER, MAN! 
Here's the smarmy bastard now.
  • If that was the last Dalek left, how are they still a villain in this show after this? They should have made him live and infected all of them with Rose's touchy feeliness, then they could start a support group for each other and give up the exterminating business.
  • What's Godart going to do with all the money she is essentially stealing from van Statten? That would make an interesting show all on its own. 
  • I need the Doctor to tell Rose he loves her like I need oxygen to breathe. Need it!
I will try to post a few of my lingering questions and impressions of the episode here as we go along in the series. I've never seen this show before now, so please don't tell me what's coming next. I will have to shank you. 

That is it for today! Hopefully I'll have more episodes to comment on tomorrow.
