Dr. Who & Morgana Le Fey

Friday, December 29th, 2006

Background

For ladies with a hankering for time lords, Dr. Who is quite the catch. With a passion and intelligence for science, history, art & literature, he’s an engaging character. He also likes to battle evil and oppression - even if this means going against Gallifreyan society, who prefers to just watch over things. Even better, when the fine doctor’s body wears out, it’s time for a new one, allowing a lucky lady to keep from getting bored. Although it can be difficult at times, as his personality may mutate between regenerations, Morgana le Fey seems more than up to the task.

Morgana is a powerful sorceress, with the ability to heal (useful as Dr. Who emerges from regeneration), but also serving as a counter-balance to his impetuous nature. Her background in both magic and healing complements Dr. Who’s scientific interests and make for a well-rounded coupling. Morgana possesses a strong personality and a desire to further her agenda (whether obtaining Excalibur or frightening Guinevere) should be toned down through intergalactic peace-keeping missions.

According to some sources, Morgana learned from Merlin at a point her life, and there’s Dr. Who episode Battlefield. So perhaps others had already considered this pairing.

Probability of Happiness

On the Immortal Dating Service scale, we offer this a 10 out of 10 for success. Sure, there will be a little spice, but Morgana can see travel as a quest and Dr. Who can appreciate the finer points of magic that Morgana can teach him.

The Origins of Immortal Dating Service

Friday, December 29th, 2006

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to blog, but I was reluctant to write a personal blog. I also discarded the idea of a work-related blog. I was struggling to come up with a good idea that I was excited about and that made me happy. Then one day my 8-year-old daughter looked at me and said:

“Mom, do you know who should date?”

“No, sweetheart, who should date?”

“Dr. Who & Morgana le Fey.”

“Why?”

“Because they are both immortal and they’re lonely.”

And, so, to keep immortals from being lonely, I will submit to you dear reader, the odd occasional improbable immortal pairing. These may be individuals from literature or popular culture, concepts, memes, what have you. But they will be paired off so as to stave off loneliness and to have the delight that eternal coupledom can provide.
