Block: I want knowledge. Not belief. Not surmise. But knowledge. I want God to put out His hand, show His face, speak to me.
Death: But He is silent.
Block: I cry to Him in the dark, but there seems to be no one there.
Death: Perhaps there is no one there.The Seventh Seal (1957), Ingmar Bergman
Maybe this isn’t new but it is my view: Doctor Who is a fairy tale – not sci-fi, not fantasy but properly a fairy tale. And I don’t mean Disney-style where the endings are changed and everyone lives.
Doctor Who is how we warn our children that there are people in the world who want to eat them.

In November of 2009, 17-year-old Andrew Conley showed no remorse when he confessed to police that he killed his 10-year-old brother Connor. He also told the police that he took his cues from the serial killer TV show Dexter.
“I just feel like him,” he told police, referring to the TV show’s main character.
The murder occurred when the two boys were left home alone on Saturday night at their residence in Ohio County. Andrew told police he placed his younger brother in a headlock until he lost consciousness. He then proceeded to continually choke his brother over a twenty minute period until he was spewing blood from his mouth and nose.
Andrew then told police without any emotion in his confession that he taped a plastic bag over his brothers head, dragged him down the stairs by his feet and proceeded to smash his head several times into the ground and then placed him in a trunk which was later found in a local park on Sunday night.
After killing his brother he headed over to his girlfriends house, presented her with a “sweetheart” ring and hung out. She described him as “happier than he’d been in a while.”
He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
