Twelfth Doctor Tapestries
Description: “Winning? Is that what you think is about? I’m not trying to win. I’m not doing this because I want to beat someone or because I hate someone or because… because I want to blame someone. It’s not because is fun, God knows it’s not because is easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it’s right. Because it’s decent. And above all it’s kind, it’s just that. Just kind." This beautiful speech from the Season 10 finale, The Doctor Falls, is a message we all need right now—to do what we do with kindness.

Description: Who is the coolest dog in the universe? This rockstar pug is ready for his next regeneration! Sporting his stylish sonic sunglasses and rocking an electric guitar, he only asks one question: WHO? A perfect design for lovers of British sci-fi, time travel adventures, and awesome pugs. A subtle and clever gift for any true fan who appreciates the era of the guitar-playing space traveler!
Description: One of the running themes in Doctor Who is the tendency to write in little moments that represent the actors' real personality. With David Tennant, they gave him an episode in Scotland so that he could speak with his real accent. With Matt Smith, they gave him a scene where he schooled everyone in a game of soccer, as Smith was nearly a professional footballer. Peter Capaldi used to play guitar and sing in a punk band back in the late 70s or early 80s. Hence, this awesome scene.
Description: This is based on a promo picture for the ‘Listen’ episode in Series 8. This was one of my favorite episodes. As someone with a long history of sleep walking and talking to strange shadows in my sleep, this episode really freaked me out. It also set the foundation of the Doctor’s ‘no weapon’ approach to saving the universe, not to mention, we got our first glimpse of the Doctor as a scared child on Gallifrey.

Description: Heaven Sent from Doctor Who season 9 is a masterpiece of storytelling. The visuals and directing are incredible, but the story is what shines. I'm particularly fond of the shepherd boy's tale used to illustrate the billions of years the Doctor spent in the clockwork, puzzle hell running from the veil. The metaphor - a bird sharpens its beak on a granite mountain once every 100 years or so, and the time it takes for the mountain to be worn down from the sharpening of birds beaks...is one second in eternity - has often been used in literature. James Joyce uses it, most notably, in 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.'
Description: The Twelfth Doctor is an anomaly. We call him the 12th Doctor, but he's the 13th version of the Doctor. Also, Time Lord biology only allows them to regenerate 12 times, but he was technically the 13th regeneration. (The 10th Doctor regenerated twice and the War Doctor was a secret regeneration. The numbers are all off, but we Whovians accept it because it fits in with the Timey Whimy absurdities of the show.) The Doctor should have died of old age at the end of the 11th Doctor's run when he spent a thousand years on Trensalore. But the Time Lords intervened, using a crack in the universe from the bubble universe that they're trapped in, and granted the Doctor another regeneration cycle, which they can do because this is a show about tim...
