Doctor Who Part III

You know what?!

Can I just say for a moment that I love the Science Fiction TV Show Doctor Who?!

It's crazy how the show can really portray things that are a reality in your life.

• SPOILERS -

So – I was watching the episode titled “Daleks in Manhattan” - and there was one very powerful line that was said – and even before the guy said it – I was already thinking it.

Solomon asks the Doctor why people can build the Empire State Building, which will be the tallest building in the world when completed, when there is a Hooverville in midtown Manhattan.

Yes – how was it possible that someone or some people had enough money to build a huge building during the Great Depression. Good question indeed. Have you ever thought to ask yourself this question?

It's obvious – someone was keep money for themselves – but perhaps there was a further agenda that wasn't shared with people – other than a select few.

This – is where we actually move to a previous episode – titled “Gridlock” .

In “Gridlock” – it would seem to be that this is where it's explained to an extent.

Here we have the Doctor going to visit a planet in the future that Human beings will move to once our earth is no longer inhabitable. On this new planet called “New Earth” - yes there is a New York City – it's actually called New New York – and there's all of that. So – people drive there cars on the “motorway” which is actually an underground tunnel. The issue is this tunnel isn't moving.

Well – rather vehicles aren't moving on this motorway. People had been travelling on the motorway for over 20 years – some of their children were born on the motorway.

The Doctor comes along and starts asking a few critical questions – like “in all your years in the motorway have you ever seen a police car? Ambulance? Any form of Emergency Vehicle?”

This upset the people – as the answer was obviously a no – but they never questioned further than that. This was upsetting to them because they wasted their lives on a motorway and there was no way out of the motorway – don't ask me how, but there were on ramps, but never an off-ramp as they were closed.

This obviously caused the motorway to fill with gas fumes and was actually feeding an alien beast below.

Nobody bothered to ask questions – just that there was a rumour that you never wanted to go on the “Fast lanes” as people never made it alive. You were safer in the slow lanes and that meant travelling 5 miles in 12 years or something like that.

A system that wasn't working – yet nobody sought an answer. People were able to communicate to one another – but again, nobody ever wondered where the traffic jam was starting or if people were getting out of the motorway – apparently there was an accident that caused the hold up – apparently there was going to be a 6 line expansion – things that were never happening and people never bothered to question.

So – it takes an outsider – The Doctor comes along, and starts asking questions – and opens up the Motorway roofing system to allow people to get out of the Motorway and to safety.

The Doctor frees the people from their slavery of what the Government once put in place. The Doctor set the people free and be able to move on and about their life.

An outsider did this. An outsider set people free. The Government did not. Does this sound familiar?

Does this correlate to the Daleks in Manhattan? Obviously there's something going on – the problem is people never ask questions, and when they do it's deemed “too sensitive for the public to be aware” or it's protected for a reason of “National Security”. People then accept that answer and never know what's going on.

This – is probably the big reason why the Empire State building was built in the middle of the Great Depression – yet people don't ask questions. It's deemed acceptable – yet we often complain about how we struggle in this life.

The questions then start by asking this question? Why are you struggling?

Do you have to pay bills?

Do you have to pay taxes?

Do you have to pay rent?

Do you have to pay for all this stuff?
Do you have to go to school to get a job?

Do you have to go to University to get a good paying job?

Interesting eh? Who implemented a lot of these things?

Now – who do we need to resolve them? I don't think we need an outsider. The reason for this is because the Doctor always takes with him a Companion. The interesting thing is a large majority of the Doctor's companions are human. All I'm saying here is we just need an outsider influence – but WE ourselves are able to resolve this problem.

The interesting part of “Gridlock” - is that the Government and Senate room – was just a room of dead dry bones. The government had long been dead.
