What is your favorite time machine? For me, the answer is without question Doctor Who’s living, time-traveling police call box, the TARDIS. I even dressed up as the TARDIS for a party once (the theme was extraordinary aliens — also a U.S. visa status, in case you are wondering). What draws me to the TARDIS is the audacity of Doctor Who’s writers to give their Timelord not just a time machine, but a time-transcending alien who allows the Doctor and co. to hitch a ride. The true hero of Doctor Who is the TARDIS.
