The BBC have voting open on their Facebook page for the best dad. The Doctor himself is not on the roster, but that’s only fair – the others at least get a chance. Who’s your favorite dad?

Poll Results – Monday
The Do You Want to Know the Name of the Doctor? poll is at just under 2,000 results and now 69% say no while 16% say yes.
I wonder if events over the next couple of episodes may do anything to change that opinion. This poll is closed, but I may open another closer to the date of the finale.
So Far, 67% Say No

Poll Results So Far
Interesting. The Do You Want to Know the Name of the Doctor? poll now has over 500 responses. Earlier in its run (about 200 responses), “no” had 80% of the vote. This result has just now dropped to 69%. I find that interesting.
It may be unscientific to talk about poll results before polling is over, but it’s an unscientific poll anyway, so I don’t think that much additional harm can result.
I’m interested in your thoughts. Please feel free to leave comments. If there’s a technical difficulty leaving comments, I’d be most grateful if you let me know. I’m not finding any issue, but it’s possible for the comments system to work for me and not for you.

The Most Boo-hoo-tiful Story
This post at Reddit got me thinking about stories that make me cry, which then got me thinking about stories that make you cry. Thus, a poll.
What episode/story made you cry the most?
Given is a randomized list of most of the ones that got me – I left out a few that might indicate issues with my psychology. As an aid to memory, in the parentheses are some of the characters you may or may not have cried about.
Please pick the #1 most weepy one. If your top pick isn’t in the list, please mention it in the comments. Also feel free to elaborate in the comments what exactly got you, why, etc.
