Simply AMAZING 'Doctor Who' Trivia!

There was some big news in the "Doctor Who" universe today, as Peter Capaldi was chosen as the new Doctor. 

As Twitter lit up with speculation and criticism of the venerable franchise, I decided to share my exhaustive knowledge of "Who" trivia with the online world. 

There are many facts about the popular series that most casual fans don’t know:

My favorite #DoctorWho was George Lazenby.

For those not in the know, #DoctorWho is a SciFi alien who has a phone booth teleporter & fights with a sonic light saber or something.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Yeah, right. RT @freddoso: @ExJon SCREWDRIVER

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Most memorable #DoctorWho ep was when Moonbase Alpha exploded, throwing the moon out of orbit. (Martin Landau was the 14th Doctor.)

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Little known fact: The first three seasons of #DoctorWho were done entirely with marionettes.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

#DoctorWho has filmed a total of 64 seasons, making it Australia's most popular export. (Outside of pandas, that is! #LOL)

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

(I meant KOALAS, of course. Not marionettes.) #DoctorWho

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

All the #DoctorWho episodes featuring Cylons are a "must watch." RT @stephiegal @ExJon I haven't watched a single episode. Am I missing out?

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

The #DoctorWho character gets his special abilities from ancient Reaver technology called "midi-chlorians."

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

YES YOU DO. RT @kakinsley @ExJon So, #DoctorWho is a koala bear from outerspace who doesn't listen to Skrewdriver? Wish I had cable

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Midi-chlorians also known as "The Spice." (Yes, that's where the Spice Girls got their name.) #DoctorWho

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

The "bad guys" in #DoctorWho are called "Dalecks" who float around saying "Bidi-bidi-bidi! Exterminate!"

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

And Old Spice. RT @GPIA7R @ExJon Is that where the line "The Spice must Flow" comes from?

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Some say the entire #DoctorWho plot is an allegory for Mormonism. Interesting theory since Doctor Who's creator founded Scientology.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

(Trivia: "Sci-Fi" is short for "Scientology Fiction") #DoctorWho

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

You Americans just don't know #DoctorWho trivia. RT @AlisonMRobinson @ExJon ?

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Time to head out for lunch! Glad to share my vast repository of #DoctorWho knowledge, Twitter. Watch all the episodes on Showtime!!!

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

@EdMorrissey That subplot fell apart once David Duchovny became the Doctor.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Duh, Roddenberry. RT @R8D_Red: @ExJon L. Ron Hubbard did not create Doctor Who. What kind of nerd are you?

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Nice try. #DoctorWho RT @GarbledMsg: @ExJon TARDIS: Time And Relative Distance In Space...not just a teleporter.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

#DoctorWho experienced a revival when the program was rebooted as "Dr. Who: The Next Generation."

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

#DoctorWho I liked the earlier episodes when the Doctor was played by DeForest Kelley.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

When not working, all the various #DoctorWho's live in a place called Whoville.

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Unlike you "Yanks," I've spent time on "the other side of 'the pond.'" Glad I can share some #DoctorWho trivia. As Brits say, "g'day, mate!"

— Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) August 4, 2013

Popular misconception! RT @frankie601: .@ExJon I thought g'day mate was Austrailian?

It takes quite a bit of solid SciFi trivia knowledge to be this obtuse. Kudos.
