Anyone that enjoys fantasy, or reading in general, knows about iconic author, Neil Gaiman. He's authored some great books, created The Sandman and had a few crappy movies made from his works. I still can't watch Stardust without cringing in fear and disgust.

Gaiman recently penned an episode of an equally iconic television show, Dr. Who. “The Doctor's Wife” brings humanity to the Tardis... literally. The master of creating amazing characters brought sentience and a voice to the famous time machine. We are finally able to see and understand the bond and feelings the Doctor and the Tardis have for each other. Gaiman's unique fingerprints are all over the episode.

We know The Doctor and the Tardis have a genuine connection that is touched on several times throughout his many incarnations, but we don't really see how deeply that connection goes. The final minutes of the episode will bring tears to your eyes.

It's not often that fantasy writers get the opportunity to bring their particular brand of writing to more mainstream venues. I think Gaiman's episode was one of the best of the season, and I hope that Steven Moffat and the rest of the Dr. Who crew ask him to write more in the future.
