			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. This is more or less a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. (Sometimes I add links later for reference, but otherwise it&#8217;s all exactly what I typed at the time.) In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the Christmas Special episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_6_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called A Christmas Carol. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wyj5p">BBC Page</a></p>
<p><span id="more-3432"></span></p>
<p>Ooh look, a planet. And an active one at that.<br />
This looks crashy. And that&#8217;s a VERY odd outfit.<br />
Christmas Cancelled right off the bat?<br />
And Geordie can&#8217;t help them out? Come on LaForge!<br />
Who&#8217;s in the Honeymoon Suite?<br />
Wait what?<br />
Rory! Nice outfits you two&#8230;<br />
Ah, and Rory helpfully explains. Thanks for that.<br />
Come along, Pond&#8230; cute.<br />
(credits)<br />
WTF? Oh it&#8217;s cute? I rather like this mashed up world.<br />
Richard Harris! Ah, Dumbledore. Now I can listen to what he&#8217;s saying now that I placed his voice. (:<br />
Oooh!<br />
Looks a bit Scroogey.<br />
Wireless old style phone. I love it.<br />
Oh I know that noise.<br />
I love it. Quite the entrance.<br />
&#8220;My brain just went&#8230;what the hell?&#8221; Hee!<br />
Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. (:<br />
I&#8217;ll never understand how he &#8220;reads&#8221; any information off the sonic.<br />
Daddy? What IS he missing? What&#8217;s all this then?<br />
Fish what now?<br />
I love the running lights on the carriage.<br />
Oh that&#8217;s a giant shadow behind him.<br />
A Christmas Carol, eh? So the old man will get three ghosts?<br />
Oh he got himself! Nice! Did the Doctor do that?<br />
Everyone at school has seen the fish? WHAT?<br />
Quantum enfolding and a paper clip? Nice!<br />
Is he gonna show up back in the video? I hope so.<br />
Hey look!<br />
There isn&#8217;t any lottery! Hee!<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re twelve years old so we&#8217;ll stay away from under the bed.&#8221; Hee!<br />
Mature and responsible adult and it&#8217;s too big a lie. I LOVE THAT!<br />
Funny, I thought boys laughed in the face of danger.<br />
&#8220;I wear it and I don&#8217;t care.&#8221; (:<br />
Uh oh. This won&#8217;t end well will it?<br />
AHHHH!!!!<br />
Big color? Hahahahaha!<br />
Ahh!<br />
Within reach? !!!<br />
!!! Half a screwdriver? Oh my.<br />
And now it&#8217;s dying? Oh no!<br />
An icebox? Oooh! Really?<br />
Tell me this works. Please oh please!<br />
&#8220;Just what I was after! Thank you!&#8221;<br />
Hey it&#8217;s her. I kinda figured.<br />
Hello Abigail Pettigrew.<br />
How does he know she talks about the fish?<br />
Why are they getting a signal from the shark?<br />
Oh noes.<br />
!!!<br />
Later I bet it&#8217;s awesome to look back at. Chased by a shark, bowtied babysitter&#8230;<br />
Cute homage to Jaws there in the score.<br />
She sings? It&#8217;s beautiful.<br />
She&#8217;s singing to the shark!? What the-!?<br />
Nothing seems to be biting him.<br />
The fish like the singing? I like that explanation better too.<br />
What a nice song.<br />
And the painting changed?<br />
Look!<br />
My reaction to all that was the Ninth Doctor&#8217;s voice in my head saying &#8220;fanTAStic!&#8221;<br />
Pictures? Pictures!<br />
What!?<br />
Every Christmas?<br />
Her number goes down? Uh oh.<br />
Nuh-UH!<br />
Mad. Absolutely mad.<br />
I love it. Honestly, how much fun is that!?<br />
Fezzes! Hee!<br />
!!!! The scarf!!!!!!!!!! (twitch)<br />
Oh NO! Her number keeps going down, what happens when it gets to zero?<br />
She can&#8217;t go inside? That&#8217;s terrible.<br />
&#8220;I have absolutely no idea.&#8221; At least he was honest.<br />
Oh Doctor! That&#8217;s wonderful. (:<br />
You&#8217;re doin it wrong! Hee!<br />
Crackers! I love crackers!<br />
Those are the best Christmases, aren&#8217;t they? A bit rambunctious.<br />
Doctor, for the love of Pete, TAKE A HINT!<br />
&#8220;I THINK you&#8217;re right.&#8221; Cute.<br />
I like their friendship here.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s this or go to your room and design a new kind of screwdriver, don&#8217;t make my mistakes!&#8221; tee hee!<br />
Oh my. </Takei><br />
Oh they&#8217;re lovely! Look at all those photos!<br />
&#8220;The Doctors is gonna do a duet with Frank!&#8221; I love it.<br />
The truth? Oh noes!<br />
Accidentally got engaged to Marilyn Monroe?<br />
Good night? Is this the last one? Is that what she told him?<br />
Yup. Her number is one. So what now? She can&#8217;t ever come out again?<br />
Oh no, it&#8217;s like the Doctor said, &#8220;not as much as I had hoped&#8221;.<br />
Oh man, the picture is his dad again.<br />
Sound waves were right, that&#8217;s why it looks like an organ&#8230;<br />
Make a change, make a change, make a change&#8230;<br />
Hit it Kazran, please!<br />
Oh man. Shut the curtains?<br />
He sounds like the same guy as before.<br />
&#8220;As a very old friend once took a very long time to explain to me, life isn&#8217;t fair!&#8221;<br />
I had hope for him. I thought he&#8217;d change.<br />
How does this planet in this whole other place so far away know Silent Night?<br />
Holograms?<br />
How do you choose which day?<br />
Sad.<br />
&#8220;Better a broken heart than no heart at all.&#8221; &#8220;You try it!&#8221; Oh he has, Kazran. He has.<br />
Please let this work. I know there&#8217;s a good guy in there or he wouldn&#8217;t have cared about Abigail.<br />
Oh work!!<br />
Use the boy version! That will work won&#8217;t it?<br />
No, they&#8217;ll need her to sing won&#8217;t they?<br />
Yup.<br />
Oh I rather like her.<br />
Snow!<br />
A bit carnivorous moon? All right?<br />
Halfway out of the dark? Huh.<br />
Look! OMG!</p>
<p>Overall I loved it. Awesome. Fun. Impressive. Charming. Clever. Wonderful. Mad. Sweet.</p>
<p>This Doctor is definitely growing on me. In the good way. I liked that episode a lot. Christmas ain&#8217;t the same without Grampy Wilf, sure, but you can&#8217;t have Grampy Wilf EVERY Christmas. (:</p>

<span id="more-3389"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the thirteenth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Big Bang. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sxfc7">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>(recap)<br />
That silent bit at the end is creepy all over again.<br />
1894 years later!?<br />
???<br />
Amy&#8217;s house!<br />
So what&#8217;s wrong with Amy now if she never had her run-in with the Doctor?<br />
No such things as stars?<br />
What the WHAT!?<br />
We never met Amy&#8217;s adults before.<br />
Richard Dawkins. Hee!<br />
Who was that then?<br />
How does that brochure have a Dalek and such in it?<br />
Who&#8217;s handwriting is that?<br />
Who sent her there?<br />
Who took her soda?<br />
She stuck around and dodged them all. Good for her!<br />
Nice boots. (;<br />
Yup. Even in petrified form, Daleks are creepy.<br />
She&#8217;s unlocking it just by touching it?<br />
HOW???<br />
At least she still meets the Doctor when she&#8217;s young.<br />
Wait, what?<br />
WHAT!?<br />
1894 years ago&#8230;<br />
Eek.<br />
&#8220;So the universe ended. You missed that.&#8221;<br />
I&#8217;m liking Rory more all the time.<br />
That&#8217;s a ridiculous miracle I think&#8230;<br />
Fez? Mop? What!?<br />
So Rory got him out. OK.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve got a future, that&#8217;s nice.&#8221;<br />
So Rory isn&#8217;t Rory?<br />
Yup. I like Rory.<br />
So we put Amy in the Pandorica?<br />
The Nestenes?<br />
Mostly dead? I&#8217;ve heard that before.<br />
OMG!<br />
Complicated. Heh. How is Amy gonna sort this?<br />
Rory is heartbreaking and wonderful.<br />
Oh Rory.<br />
What the what!? How is it alive?<br />
&#8220;Come along Ponds!&#8221; Hee!<br />
!!!!<br />
Oh good, it&#8217;s brought back to life.<br />
Oh this is hurting my head a bit again.<br />
Oh that&#8217;s him with the notes and the soda. HA!<br />
My brain. Again. Hear it melting?<br />
Where&#8217;s Amelia?<br />
Restore? Thaaaaat&#8217;s not a&#8230;good sound&#8230;<br />
At least it&#8217;s not the voice saying &#8220;Silence will fall.&#8221;<br />
Can&#8217;t River shoot it with that obliterator thing?<br />
Reboot the universe? Oh yeah!<br />
Go big or go home. This is why I like the Doctor.<br />
!!!!!!<br />
Ooooh. River Song: Making Daleks beg since time immemorial.<br />
History is&#8230;vanishing. Oh no.<br />
Wow. He really does go big, doesn&#8217;t he?<br />
How is he going to fly anything anywhere? He&#8217;s unconscious!<br />
All the cracks will close? So no more Doctor? This isn&#8217;t ok with me either!<br />
&#8220;He doesn&#8217;t really know me yet. Now he never will.&#8221; Tragic.<br />
Why DID he take her with him?<br />
Where was everyone? I wondered that then too but we never covered it.<br />
That crack took her family? Oh no!<br />
At least her Doctor is actually Raggedy now.<br />
GOTCHA!?<br />
Oh that&#8217;s not right or fair or anything. WTF?<br />
Don&#8217;t text and drive, Doctor!<br />
Geronimo? Hee!<br />
My brain is a bit melty now.<br />
I can buy a fez?<br />
That&#8217;s Amy&#8217;s voice&#8230;<br />
Space Florida?<br />
At least the crack disappeared, that&#8217;s good right?<br />
We&#8217;re back another episode. And that&#8217;s the one that didn&#8217;t have the crack! So does it now or not? (:<br />
All the way back!<br />
He stole the TARDIS?<br />
So sad. I can&#8217;t type because I just keep watching him.<br />
No more crack&#8230;<br />
Stars!<br />
!!<br />
&#8220;Are you just saying yes because you&#8217;re scared of me?&#8221; Hee!<br />
River!?<br />
Why would River leave her book?<br />
What now?<br />
Please work. Oh Amy, I hope this works.<br />
!!!!!<br />
Good call, leaving the kissing to Rory.<br />
Mister Pond. Hee!<br />
Is she married? And married to whom?<br />
Was he asking?<br />
Goodbye!? Yeah, goodbye to their Earth, right?<br />
HAHAH!<br />
Nicely done Amy!<br />
Goddess? Loose on the Orient Express? In SPACE!? Oh how I wish I got to see that.</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-3387"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the twelfth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Pandorica Opens. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00stv7m">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>France 1890&#8230;<br />
Vincent!<br />
Sunflowers behind him&#8230;<br />
What&#8217;s wrong Vincent?<br />
What&#8217;s that painting? Hmm&#8230;<br />
Ooh, Churchill eh?<br />
!!!<br />
THIS is why he called the Doctor, innit?<br />
Stormcage Containment Facility? 5145!?<br />
Dr Song is talking to Winston? My brain hurts.<br />
She got to keep her lipstick?<br />
&#8220;Your tricks don&#8217;t work in here Dr Song.&#8221; Hee!<br />
The Royal Collection?<br />
Not very&#8230;well, not very Royal, is it?<br />
Is she walking off with a Van Gogh?<br />
Liz Ten! &#8220;And I&#8221;m the bloody Queen.&#8221; Nice!<br />
Maldovarium!? What in THE hell?<br />
Oh he looks familiar&#8230;.<br />
A handsome Time Agent? Jack? The Doctor&#8217;s hand in a jar?<br />
Microexplosives? What on earth!?<br />
Oh she&#8217;s good.<br />
Planet one?<br />
Translate, eh?<br />
Hello Sweetie!? My brain. It hurts.<br />
Hail Caesar? They know what he is?<br />
Oooh! Look at that. Smeary lipstick huh?<br />
&#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t answer your phone.&#8221; Hee!<br />
Oh my. It&#8217;s what happens in the crack, innit?<br />
(credits)<br />
Horsies?<br />
Date and map on the door sign? Whoa.<br />
The Pandorica Opens?<br />
A Pandorica is a fairy tale?<br />
Oooh! This could be good.<br />
Now I&#8217;m recalling Eddie Izzard&#8217;s bit about Stonehenge. Hee!<br />
Um. Wait. Wht?<br />
Oh my.<br />
Underhenge? Underhenge is the name of my Jefferson Starship Cover Band. (;<br />
Oh that&#8217;s bad!<br />
And that&#8217;s worse.<br />
Mmm, torchy!<br />
Is that the Pandorica or is it inside?<br />
Oh there it is.<br />
How is River dressed for this? She was wearing prison clothes.<br />
He saw an arm. Hrm.<br />
I would think it would be a bad idea for him to touch it.<br />
&#8220;Soaked in the blood of a billion beings.&#8221; Is this the one from the pit a couple seasons back?<br />
Worse yet&#8230;is it the Doctor?<br />
&#8220;I hate good wizards in fairy tales, they always turn out to be him.&#8221; Hee!<br />
How did this all line up? She has a point. Vincent isn&#8217;t to be born for quite awhile.<br />
She&#8217;s right, who else is coming? Oh yikes.<br />
Um. Oh no.<br />
We saw Cyberman shrapnel and now Daleks too?<br />
I like when he really gets going.<br />
That&#8217;s like. ALL the aliens.<br />
Holy crap.<br />
I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d leave the torch.<br />
&#8220;Everything that&#8217;s ever hated you is coming here tonight.&#8221; YIKES!<br />
Whatever is in the Pandorica is what made the crack, right?<br />
A volunteer? What?<br />
&#8220;That&#8217;s a memory. Friend of mine, someone I lost.&#8221;<br />
Does he really think she can bring Rory back if she remembers him?<br />
&#8220;Hey look I&#8217;m a target!&#8221;<br />
She can&#8217;t hear it? OH CRAP!<br />
Ahh!<br />
That&#8217;s a bit weird even for me. Eeek!<br />
And now she got stuck with a dart? Oh noes.<br />
The rest was intact? Oh noes!<br />
Where is she now!?<br />
Safe for now maybe. What&#8217;s in there with her?<br />
Um.<br />
What the WHAT!?<br />
My brain. It hurt before. Now bits are melting.<br />
&#8220;She&#8217;s fine Doctor, just unconscious!?&#8221; So Rory is actually&#8230;Rory?<br />
Therrrrre we go. He figured it out finally, eh?<br />
Distracting? You could say that.<br />
Oh no. I think it&#8217;s acutally getting out.<br />
What&#8217;s in there? Is it the TARDIS?<br />
Is he really going to do this?<br />
He just declared he has nothing to lose?<br />
Are they really going to leave?<br />
They really do clank when he walks, don&#8217;t they?<br />
You know what I want from the next episode of Confidential? &#8220;River Song&#8217;s Hair.&#8221; It deserves it&#8217;s own episode!<br />
Why doesn&#8217;t she remember him? If he still exists&#8230;<br />
What exploded? The TARDIS, right?<br />
But how?<br />
&#8220;&#8230;I&#8217;m not sure history can take it.&#8221; I hope someday someone says that about me. (:<br />
Silence will fall?<br />
There&#8217;s the crack! IN THE TARDIS!<br />
What came to Amy&#8217;s house? Is it still the needly toothed thing? Cuz&#8230;yikes.<br />
&#8220;Why do I let you out?&#8221;<br />
Something seriously bad is going down just there, and I don&#8217;t know what but I know it&#8217;s bad.<br />
She&#8217;s crying again without noticing?<br />
It&#8217;s the Pandorica that is using her brain isn&#8217;t it?<br />
Is this real?<br />
Why does she have to leave?<br />
Silence will fall. WHO IS SAYING THAT!?<br />
So they are all done. What about Rory? Is he fake too?<br />
So whatever is in the Pandorica is controlling them? And Rory is fighting too? Oh good.<br />
They are going after the Doctor?<br />
Rory Williams! She knows him!!<br />
KISS HIM AMY!<br />
Is she gonna have to blow up the TARDIS to get out?<br />
Ohhhhhhhhhh no.<br />
OMG. I was right! It IS the Doctor in the Pandorica!<br />
But&#8230;but&#8230;humanity!<br />
Saving the universe FROM him?<br />
They are the work of the Doctor?<br />
How are they the work of the TARDIS?<br />
Oh crap.<br />
So it did explode after all.<br />
And Did Amy actually die?<br />
Oh CRAP!</p>
<p>Well that was a fine how do you do. At least I don&#8217;t have to wait a week for the next one!</p>

<span id="more-3381"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the eleventh episode of [Season Five](http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories) (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Lodger. [BBC Page](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sr4bm)</p>
<p>Oh look, England. I&#8217;m shocked.<br />
WTF!? He fell out of the TARDIS? Oh crap!<br />
One Day Later?<br />
Weird. I would freak out. I&#8217;d probably try to help but I&#8217;d freak out a little and call 911 first. Or whatever it is in the UK.<br />
NO! Can&#8217;t you hear the music? He&#8217;s gonna getcha!<br />
Does he know what it is in the ceiling? He had an odd look on his face.<br />
Pizza booze telly. Hee!<br />
They are an odd match I think.<br />
Yikes. Very much yikes.<br />
Cute postcard on the fridge.<br />
Awwww. He&#8217;s adorable. &#8220;Dunno if you know&#8230;&#8221;<br />
You sure about that chief?<br />
What&#8217;s in his ear?<br />
(credits)<br />
Less of a young professional and more like an ancient amateur&#8230;<br />
O hai sack o cash!<br />
&#8220;I call me the Doctor too.&#8221; Heh.<br />
Rotmeister?<br />
His room? Nice.<br />
A reference from the Archbishop of Canterbury?<br />
Eggs? Huh.<br />
Oh, &#8220;phone drone&#8221;, I like that.<br />
Is the thing in his ear connected tot he TARDIS somehow?<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re weird and you can cook, that&#8217;s good enough for me.&#8221;<br />
This might be fun.<br />
Oh crap.<br />
That woman has bigger issues, she shouldn&#8217;t stop.<br />
Scary big? Oh yikes.<br />
A bowtie are you serious? Tee hee!<br />
Oh good Lord. What on earth is he up to?<br />
NO NO NO don&#8217;t go upstairs!! I like you Craig, don&#8217;t go upstairs!!<br />
How very Flock of Seagulls, Doctor. (:<br />
He&#8217;s gonna fix it with a toothbrush?<br />
Oh Craig. Come on. Do something!<br />
Heh. Football. This should be fun.<br />
Wow it kinda was fun to watch.<br />
Poor Craiggers though.<br />
Now it&#8217;s a girl voice?<br />
Oh goodness. I thought there was a glitch in my video!<br />
All 5s? Hrm.<br />
What does she see?<br />
Space? He has no idea what Craig is talking about.<br />
Oh come on Craig! SAY IT!<br />
On switch? Heh.<br />
Craig can&#8217;t see the point of much can he?<br />
Lead them down the path, Doctor. Someone&#8217;s got to.<br />
What the crap is that thing!?<br />
Seriously, what&#8217;s with the rot?<br />
Don&#8217;t touch it Craig!<br />
Eek!<br />
Oh noes! Why didn&#8217;t he answer?<br />
Tea right from the pot. Heh. The Royal Wedding. Hee!<br />
I&#8217;m glad the Doctor was there to take care of him.<br />
Whoa!<br />
Never worked anywhere. Hahahaha!<br />
Custard cream? Heh.<br />
Sophie Sophie Sophie. Either make a move or call it a day, you can&#8217;t wait for him to do it, you are at least that smart aren&#8217;t you?<br />
OMG!<br />
Headbutt eh? I guess that&#8217;s one way to do it.<br />
Oh noes! No Sophie! NO NO NO!<br />
So for once he got someone who actually knows who he is? Well. Huh.<br />
Sophie!<br />
Who is this!?<br />
There is no upstairs?<br />
Stop yelling at him Amy!<br />
Geronimo? HAHAHAHA!<br />
FINALLY!!!!!!!<br />
Awww. Finally Craig!<br />
Oh noes!<br />
Did the ship leave a crack in the wall?<br />
That was nice of Craig, letting him keep the keys. (:<br />
Hey look a crack.<br />
&#8220;Find me a fella?&#8221; He shouldn&#8217;t have to.<br />
Uh oh&#8230;is she going to remember or is it just going to freak her out?</p>
<p>I liked the human element of this one but I wish we&#8217;d discovered who&#8217;s ship it was and why it was there and such. I like a bit more explanation. I am rather looking forward to the last two episodes. I hope the rest of this one makes more sense after I watch the last two.</p>

<span id="more-3378"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the tenth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called Vincent and the Doctor. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00spgsf">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Wheat? OK&#8230;<br />
NICE establishing shot!<br />
Oh this guy at the Musee d&#8217;Orsay is wearing quite the lovely bowtie.<br />
Why are you being so nice to me?<br />
Arcadia? The Trojan Gardens? What are THOSE stories like?<br />
Wow. I don&#8217;t know a lot about Vincent, but this is all very sad.<br />
Hee! Lovely bowtie moment!<br />
&#8220;We need to talk to Vincent Van Gogh!&#8221; Another of my favorite type of ANY story, playing in the margins of history.<br />
They keep saying &#8220;van goff&#8221; and not &#8220;van go&#8221;. Hrm.<br />
So Vincent isn&#8217;t all that popular eh?<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s drunk, he&#8217;s mad, and he never pays his bills.&#8221; Oh my.<br />
I like this &#8220;OMG!&#8221; moment between the Doctor and Amy.<br />
Nicely done Amy. (:<br />
From Holland? Huh.<br />
Watching them flirt is making me giggle.<br />
Churchy paintings! Heh. I like watching the Doctor squirm.<br />
Ack! Screaming? This won&#8217;t end well.<br />
Seriously? 1890 and they&#8217;re acting like it&#8217;s the Dark Ages!<br />
I like Vincent&#8217;s hat quite a lot.<br />
&#8220;Nice night. Very starry.&#8221; Subtle, Doctor.<br />
I love it.<br />
This is cool!<br />
I&#8217;ve never been much for art, but I am getting more interested in Vincent all the time.<br />
&#8220;What IS it with you and the church!?&#8221; Good point!<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s a strange one.&#8221; BETTER point!<br />
&#8220;There are more wonders in this universe than you could ever dream.&#8221; Oh I do like him.<br />
Oh Amy, what now?<br />
What&#8217;s Vincent doing?<br />
WTF?<br />
OMG!<br />
That&#8217;s twice it creamed the Doctor!<br />
Holy crap!<br />
LOL! Crazy guy fighting an imaginary creature thinks the DOCTOR is the crazy one.<br />
!!!! Oh noes!<br />
Yeah I like this Doctor. I think it&#8217;s official. He&#8217;s mad and ridiculous and amazing.<br />
Can he get to the TARDIS in time?<br />
What on earth is that thing?<br />
Print ready?<br />
Another nod to previous Doctors. I love it.<br />
Krafayis?</p>
<p>Screen:<br />
Krafayis<br />
(Kra-fay-iss)<br />
Summary: Planet of orgin uncertan</p>
<p>Social structure:<br />
Nomadic pack animals<br />
Strict dominance hierarchy<br />
Huge territories, several solar systems wide<br />
Preferred Habitat<br />
Planets with oxygen and nitrogen based atmospheres</p>
<p>Abandoned thing? Uh oh. Alone and afraid and terrifying is a bad mix on Earth.<br />
So now he has to run navigating by rearview mirror? Yikes!<br />
The living daylights? Who says that anymore?<br />
Sunflowers? Nice move, Amy.<br />
So how does Vincent see him if nobody else can?<br />
Vincent doesn&#8217;t look happy at that news.<br />
Oh wow he&#8217;s right, this could be bad.<br />
&#8220;Vincent, can I help?&#8221; He sounds so kind.<br />
Hahaha! Vincent just told a 907 year old man that his experience is incomplete.<br />
???<br />
That&#8217;s some crazy mood swinging right there.<br />
&#8220;I hear the song of your sadness. You&#8217;ve lost someone I think.&#8221; Goodness.<br />
That was&#8230;interesting. Amy really doesn&#8217;t remember.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s a thing, it&#8217;s like a plan, but with more grayness.&#8221;<br />
Yup. Still digging the hat.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m working.&#8221; Cute.<br />
Watching the Doctor fidget is fun.<br />
&#8220;Is this how time usually passes? Very slowly, and in the right order?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Overconfidence, this and a small screwdriver, I&#8217;m absolutely sorted.&#8221; And there it is. He&#8217;s won me over.<br />
&#8220;Of course!&#8221; &#8220;I love you.&#8221; (:<br />
Odd scene depicted over the doorway there. I wonder how long these things live.<br />
You know he always looks at the side of the screwdriver, but I have never seen a readout or anything on it like it gives him information somehow.<br />
And now he can&#8217;t see at all. Lovely.<br />
Into the confessional. Nice.<br />
Yikes!<br />
Seriously how does Vincent see that thing!?<br />
Now they&#8217;re locked in a room? How can that turn out ok?<br />
Talking to it? OK&#8230;<br />
Round the edges? It&#8217;s blind!<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m stupid and I&#8217;m getting old.&#8221; Oh no.<br />
And it&#8217;s afraid.<br />
I&#8217;m sad for it. And I&#8217;m sad for the Doctor too.<br />
&#8220;Like the villagers who scream at me.&#8221; Really? Again, so much less than the best of humanity. Makes me sad.<br />
&#8220;Hold my hand, Doctor. Try to see what I see.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Everywhere we look the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.&#8221; Oh that&#8217;s lovely.<br />
I like him. Dammit. I know he doesn&#8217;t live.<br />
Are you thinking what I&#8217;m thinking? Uh oh.<br />
He has an idea.<br />
&#8220;Brace yourself Vinny.&#8221; Hee!<br />
OK, where are they going?<br />
Oh they are at&#8230;.<br />
!!!!<br />
Oh they&#8217;re not.<br />
They ARE!<br />
!!!!<br />
Nice shot from the poster to the man.<br />
I totally need to go there.<br />
&#8220;You were nice about my tie.&#8221; (:<br />
&#8220;To me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all.&#8221;<br />
Please look over there. Vincent and I got something in our eyes.<br />
&#8220;Sorry about the beard.&#8221; (:<br />
What a nice moment.<br />
Not really te marrying kind? Did the crack do Amy a favor?<br />
Is he a fixed point in time? Doesn&#8217;t change?<br />
Ohhhh, from Vincent to Amy this time.<br />
Wait, it didn&#8217;t change? Aw, damn.<br />
&#8220;We definitely added to his pile of good things.&#8221; I want that to be on my tombstone. &#8220;Here lies Kelly, she added to the pile of good things.&#8221;<br />
Oh Doctor. This sucks for you. I&#8217;m sorry.<br />
Damn.<br />
Exquisite and heartbreaking. My favorite type of story though, seriously, the stuff that happens around the edges of parts we already know. This is why I also loved the Churchill episode.<br />
Wait. No crack! WTF?<br />
Overall I did like this one. First one this season that made me cr&#8230;first one this season where I got something in my eye. And being number 10 of 12 I think I&#8217;m doing pretty well.</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-3372"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the ninth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called Cold Blood. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sm031">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Part two!<br />
So we&#8217;re reviewing what happened. Wave at future us, Amy in the hole, we got an alien, it says one of them will kill her, Amy gets a shot, Doctor says &#8220;nobody dies today.&#8221;<br />
(credits)<br />
&#8220;This is the story of our planet Earth&#8230;It is the story of our past and it must never be forgotten.&#8221; Interesting.<br />
I do like Nasreen. She&#8217;s got a bit of Donna&#8217;s attitude, how this is all interesting and such.<br />
Oh, the warriors are awake? This could be bad&#8230;<br />
Too early in the episode for them to actually harm Amy.<br />
&#8220;You never picked a lizard man&#8217;s pocket?&#8221; Heh.<br />
Elliott! Oh noes!<br />
Weapons? Oh good. He and Ambrose really are a matched pair aren&#8217;t they?<br />
Maybe Rory should remind Ambrose that someone he loves is down the hole as well.<br />
What&#8217;s with decontamination? Why is it bad for the Doctor?<br />
Oh, all the germs, oh that&#8217;s how it works? Yikes!<br />
&#8220;Got any celery?&#8221; Hee!<br />
&#8220;There&#8217;s always a military isn&#8217;t there?&#8221; I wish he was wrong.<br />
&#8220;I don&#8217;t negotiate with apes.&#8221; HE&#8217;S NOT AN APE!<br />
I bet the point is that humanity is like these creatures; some are kind and lovely and some are awful and set in their ways.<br />
&#8220;Door at the end.&#8221; &#8220;You sure?&#8221; &#8220;Nope!&#8221; That&#8217;d be me. I&#8217;m going for it but I have no idea if it&#8217;s right.<br />
Oh good, Ambrose is about to get another reason to hate them. Wonderful.<br />
Interesting. So they were here when the Earth and the Moon lined up? Wow, that was long ago.<br />
Oh yay, Ambrose and the taser. This will end well.<br />
Yup. There it is.<br />
&#8220;I thought sooner or later she&#8217;d break.&#8221; Oh after two minutes? Please.<br />
O HAI AMY!<br />
I like Malakay, or however you spell it.<br />
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know it would go like that Dad.&#8221; HOW THE HELL ELSE DOES IT END WHEN YOU BLOODY BUGGERY TASE SOMEONE???<br />
Speak Rory!<br />
Oh goody. Ambrose shot her mouth off. Annnd all of humanity is brought down by a horrible woman.<br />
STOP! Who was that?<br />
O hai elderly fellow!<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re not monsters and neither are they.&#8221; I hope so.<br />
Nice little message. &#8220;Gotta dash!&#8221; Heh.<br />
&#8220;Who has more fun than us?&#8221; Hee!<br />
There are fixed points in time where things must stay the way they are&#8230;this is NOT one! Cool!<br />
What is it she wants him to do? Sounds&#8230;shady.<br />
&#8220;I never meant to harm your child.&#8221; Oh I rather love him too.<br />
I do like that the Doctor apologized to Elliott.<br />
What&#8217;s Malakay up to?<br />
Oh what&#8217;s Tony Mack up to?<br />
&#8220;What benefit does humanity get?&#8221; What does it matter? Fair is fair, innit?<br />
I do hope his &#8220;first session&#8221; is correct.<br />
Oh no no no. Don&#8217;t end him!<br />
Dammit. I need to stop liking characters, they always get the axe.<br />
Oh look, speaking of &#8220;so much less than the best&#8221;&#8230;<br />
This is what she did? Started the drill and this is how it works? This is awful.<br />
In a chamber, impossible odds, how can this possibly work? Oh wait. The Doctor.<br />
Squeaky bum time indeed.<br />
Eldane? Is that his name?<br />
I am sad that he has to do this. Kill his own people.<br />
A thousand years. Oh I hope this works Doctor.<br />
I like that idea. The planet is to be shared.<br />
What about Tony Mac?<br />
Awww. I hope Tony Mac makes it. Maybe Nasreen will stay with him! She could stay down there and do awesome stuff!<br />
Poor Eldane. I hope he&#8217;s right too.<br />
Nasreen is staying!? AWESOME!<br />
&#8220;Come and look for us.&#8221; I hope he does. I&#8217;d like that very much.<br />
Another crack! And another flashback?<br />
It&#8217;s the same crack. Again.<br />
He&#8217;s right, WHY DOES EVERYBODY KNOW!<br />
I love that he has a hanky for it.<br />
Rory! Again? NO!<br />
He&#8217;s right, they were on the hill, how&#8217;s that work?<br />
I&#8217;m sorry? Oh noes.<br />
It&#8217;s taking him away? Oh yikes.<br />
This time it&#8217;s true, huh? That&#8217;s not fair!<br />
Can she hold on to him or not? Uh oh.<br />
Make him the best of humanity in a way you couldn&#8217;t be.<br />
Too bad the ones I liked best are all gone now.<br />
Oh no! It&#8217;s her and&#8230;just her.<br />
That was awful. I&#8217;m actually going to miss Rory. Quite a lot. I hope she does too.</p>
<p>I liked this story because it was a bit of what I particularly like about Star Trek: An alien race reflecting humanity back at itself. For those in other countries, when you watch this episode and you feel a bit sad and embarrassed for humanity, and you know in your heart that it could have gone SO much better than it actually did, this is a little bit of what it has felt like to be American for the last decade.</p>

<p>This episode is the eighth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Hungry Earth. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sj9sq">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>2020 AD? Hrm.<br />
Hory Clap I swear that was Felicia Day for a minute.<br />
Cute kid. I wonder why he has trouble.<br />
Further than anyone&#8217;s drilled into the Earth before? That won&#8217;t end well.<br />
Storeroom&#8217;s out? Oh all the cameras are out?<br />
They couldn&#8217;t be more obvious if Mo was wearing a red shirt!<br />
Oh look, the hole got him. This here is my shocked face.<br />
(credits)<br />
Rio? No.<br />
Why is Amy wearing a coat if she is &#8220;dressed for Rio&#8221;?<br />
It&#8217;s them!?<br />
Weird.<br />
Oh I love a big mining thing. Hee!<br />
He&#8217;s worried about the ring? Aww.<br />
So bossy little Ambrose called&#8230;the cops for something?<br />
No body in a grave? Hrm. And not from above?<br />
&#8220;How is that possible&#8221;? I&#8217;m pretty sure Rory knows a guy who can help. (:<br />
Of course Amy went to help. And of course it got her too.<br />
Shutting down the drill doesn&#8217;t seem to help.<br />
And there she goes. What&#8217;s he going to do about it?<br />
Oh and Elliott is a cute kid with an adorable accent and headphones. This could be bad, or maybe not.<br />
Bioprogramming? Interesting.<br />
Still hearing drilling? Thaaaat&#8217;s not a&#8230;GOOD sound&#8230;<br />
Hoo boy. This looks serious.<br />
What is WITH the sky!? That looks&#8230;.creepy.<br />
Oh good, everyone&#8217;s trapped.<br />
I have to say, I do like Rory and the Doctor a bit. This might be fun.<br />
Covering with sensors eh? I guess we&#8217;ll see what these are, huh?<br />
Ambrose is better than this? Oh I doubt it.<br />
I like Elliott better when he&#8217;s not making his serious face.<br />
&#8220;They&#8217;re scared of me.&#8221; I like that. He does not appear to be pleased about it. Much.<br />
He let the kid leave? Oh here we go.<br />
Smooches! You go Tony!<br />
DON&#8217;T DISS THE SONIC! Good advice.<br />
More shaking? And no power. Lovely. They&#8217;re learning aren&#8217;t they?<br />
Please tell me the don&#8217;t want the kid.<br />
So it&#8217;s a Predator?<br />
AH!<br />
What is it?<br />
And it got him.<br />
Oh good. Ambrose wanted to shoot/tase them, and now they&#8217;ve got her son, and her husband and injured her pa. It is SO on.<br />
Hostages? That&#8217;s not usually the Doctor&#8217;s MO either&#8230;<br />
So they&#8217;re keeping her asleep? Why keep her at all? It&#8217;s not for information.<br />
Wow. And it&#8217;s a mask?<br />
Hey look a face!<br />
&#8220;No, because I&#8217;m the last of my species and I know how it sits in a heart, so don&#8217;t insult me!&#8221; Beautiful sentence.<br />
Warrior class?<br />
What will he sacrifice? His entire species if I recall.<br />
So they were here first? Interesting. I rather like this.<br />
&#8220;If she lives, so do Elliott, and Mo, and Amy&#8230;&#8221; She&#8217;s so dead. And Ambrose will be the one who kills her.<br />
&#8220;We return their hostage, they return ours&#8230;&#8221; I was waiting to hear &#8220;EVERYBODY LIVES!&#8221;  http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doctor_Dances<br />
If you are the best you can be. Oh Doctor. You put such faith in humanity. And you get shafted every time, don&#8217;t you darling?<br />
Nasreen applauded him. Oh I do like her.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;ll be dangerous.&#8221; &#8220;Eh, so&#8217;s crossing the road.&#8221; Yes. I like her a lot.<br />
Oh I like her better now that she didn&#8217;t exclaim it was bigger on the inside. (:<br />
At least she gave me a &#8220;Fantastic!&#8221;<br />
Hijacked? Oh noes! Sucked into the Earth? At least they&#8217;ll get a good look round, right?<br />
&#8220;One of you will kill me.&#8221; She&#8217;s right. I&#8217;m sad for her because it&#8217;s true.<br />
Ack! He&#8217;s green!? That&#8217;s where Alaya got him right?<br />
I think I&#8217;d like Nasreen as a companion. She&#8217;s fun like Donna was.<br />
Is that Mo? It is! And he got dissected? YIKES!<br />
A dozen? Oh it&#8217;s worse. The music tells me it&#8217;s a LOT worse. And the music is SO right about it!</p>
<p>I like this one overall. Creepy, funny bits, and humanity. I can&#8217;t wait to see how it turns out!</p>

<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. This is more or less a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. (Sometimes I add links later for reference, but otherwise it&#8217;s all exactly what I typed at the time.) In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-3362"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the seventh episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called Amy&#8217;s Choice. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sfgtp">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Cute little house.<br />
Hi Amy!<br />
Hi the rest of Amy! Goodness.<br />
I do like that Rory rings the bell for the geese.<br />
False alarm. Heh.<br />
Rory that&#8217;s a terrible haircut.<br />
Five years later and you haven&#8217;t changed a bit apart from aging. (:<br />
He really CAN be thick. Almost as thick as Amy!<br />
Is it snowing? Sun was out a moment ago&#8230;<br />
Out cold? What in the world?<br />
I like that Amy and the Doctor both checked for the ponytail. (:<br />
Oooh, I like a tricky one! As a spectator, anyway.<br />
(Credits)<br />
Oh yes, kicking things will help.<br />
Threw the manual in a supernova? Nice!<br />
Cross. That&#8217;s definitely a phrase I need to adopt.<br />
I&#8217;d be freaked out by a dead time machine too.<br />
If it&#8217;s snowing why aren&#8217;t they wearing proper coats?<br />
Knitting. Nice! She is an odd one though.<br />
Dream lord?<br />
He dares mock the bowtie?<br />
So he&#8217;s a hologram or something? Whoa! How IS he doing that?<br />
Gooseberry? Hee!<br />
Why is he making Amy choose?<br />
Amy hasn&#8217;t chosen at all, that&#8217;s clear.<br />
Tawdry quirks? What makes them tawdry?<br />
Mocking the Doctor? Why?<br />
Two worlds and pick which one is real. OK. Hrm.<br />
Where are all the old folks from the old folks home?<br />
That&#8217;s quite the sweater.<br />
Always?<br />
Oh Amy caught that too. Heh.<br />
Ha! &#8220;You die, stupid, that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called reality!&#8221;<br />
It was a trick? Nice one Amy! I liked watching him try to play catcher though.<br />
Is no one going to mention the elephant in the room? Heh.<br />
This is a tricky one. I say the TARDIS is real. But I am fully guessing.<br />
Of course Rory wants the regular life.<br />
&#8220;Why would we give up all this? Why would anyone?&#8221; Excellent question.<br />
Another good question, why is the Dream Lord picking on him?<br />
The children are all sand?<br />
Here Rory goes again &#8220;oh yay for a tranquil life&#8221; oh please.<br />
So what&#8217;s with the elderly?<br />
Elizabeth the First? Sarah Jane was a redhead too. Hrm.<br />
Ick! Smack in the mud!<br />
An eye? EW!<br />
Why ARE they hiding?<br />
So they are turning people into sand? Yikes!<br />
Chubs? Oh he&#8217;ll pay for that.<br />
I can&#8217;t blame him for having a hard time hitting an old lady, but she did just try to kill him&#8230;<br />
Why is he staggering about?<br />
Oh noes!<br />
Oh here comes the dream lord. Lovely.<br />
This is bad! If sleeping in a freezer is a good idea, YIKES!<br />
They have to agree which is the dream? Ok. Pick the RIGHT one, not the one you want, RORY!<br />
Sofas can read?<br />
Competing? DUH!!<br />
Nice ponchos. (:<br />
I like that he&#8217;s apologizing for each of the steps.<br />
Poor Rory. I know this is the world he wants but I think he&#8217;s wrong.<br />
All he can do is wait. That&#8217;s sad.<br />
Boy they&#8217;re a chipper bunch.<br />
Why did the light make them swallow their eyeballs?<br />
I like that he&#8217;s picking people up. Not going down without a fight in either world.<br />
WOW he&#8217;s a creep.<br />
And a jerk besides.<br />
Look at that van go!<br />
Why doesn&#8217;t he just run a few over? Wouldn&#8217;t it help?<br />
Scissors? What??<br />
OMG he cut it off! Awww.<br />
You do have a history of-being very lovely&#8230;<br />
OH NOES! RORY!!!!!<br />
Oh that was sad. Poor Amy.<br />
She never told him she loved him? Sad.<br />
At least Mickey the Idiot had a bit of charm. I dunno about Rory. I only care about him because Amy does.<br />
OK, so&#8230;what now? Who IS he? Why did he do this? And he&#8217;s just going to leave?<br />
Was it something I said? Can you tell me what it was so I can use it in emergencies and maybe birthdays? (:<br />
Blow up the TARDIS? What?<br />
This is a dream too? What?<br />
You know who he is? TELL US WHO!!!<br />
And it worked?<br />
He made up that bit about the pollen didn&#8217;t he?<br />
No he didn&#8217;t, oh that&#8217;s sad too.<br />
A question is about to occur to Rory?<br />
NOW can she say it?<br />
Of course I&#8217;m distracted by his vest&#8230;<br />
Oh that was clever.</p>
<p>This was a pretty good episode I think. I wish we&#8217;d had the big reveal sooner though, I would have liked to have known it earlier on to see how he dealt with it. I did enjoy the &#8220;Rory&#8217;s version&#8221; vs &#8220;Doctor&#8217;s version&#8221; of Amy. Enlightening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. This is more or less a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. (Sometimes I add links later for reference, but otherwise it&#8217;s all exactly what I typed at the time.) In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-3356"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the sixth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called Vampires of Venice. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sch0s">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Picture it&#8230;Venice, 1580&#8230; (:<br />
This lady has a school? Whatever she has, I don&#8217;t like her.<br />
I like the boatbuilder.<br />
Who is that creepy guy in the weird cap and beard? Is he from the first ep this season? The one with the dog?<br />
Goodbye now? That&#8217;s sad.<br />
YIKES! Nasty sharp pointy teeth!<br />
Oh boy a drunk dial! Kinda sweet though.<br />
Um. Wait, what? What? WTF? OMGWTFBBQ!<br />
How has he spent SO long as the intergalactic champion of the human race and yet still hasn&#8217;t figured out ANY of the basics?<br />
(credits)<br />
So he scooped Rory up and hauled him off to the TARDIS!?<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s either this or tokens.&#8221; Huh?<br />
Ha ha ha! &#8220;I like when someone says &#8216;it&#8217;s bigger on the inside&#8217;, I look forward to it.&#8221;<br />
I kind of like that Rory was over it.<br />
Listening to him I hear bits of the last doctor still. I like that.<br />
You owe Casanova a chicken? I certainly hope we get to hear THAT bet.<br />
How do they see out of those veils? They look rather thick. And why do they need them?<br />
AHH! The girls have those teeth too? WTF?<br />
Calvieri school huh?<br />
Are they turning the girls into vampires? Do they sparkle? Dear Gord I hope not.<br />
Hydrating? That&#8217;s just water though. Huh.<br />
His brothers? So she really is his Mum? Hrm.<br />
Did she miss him though? I don&#8217;t know that she did. Well. Why would she? She wasn&#8217;t going to be gone for any time at all right?<br />
I do like that Amy would just charge off into an alley to find out what happened. That&#8217;s probably what I would do.<br />
Nice diversion, Mister Boatbuilder! I do like you.<br />
&#8220;Hello handsome.&#8221; Heh.<br />
AHH!<br />
Hee! His psychic paper is the first Doctor&#8217;s library card. Lulz. I haz them.<br />
Tell me the whole plan! One day that&#8217;ll work. (more lulz)<br />
&#8220;This is how they go.&#8221; Who?<br />
Oh for corn&#8217;s sake Rory, that&#8217;s all you&#8217;ve got?<br />
Carlo is his name. I&#8217;m totally looking him up later.<br />
He likes her? EW EW EW EW!!!!<br />
Uncle Doctor. Hee!<br />
They come at night? Mostly? (;<br />
She&#8217;s got marks on her neck.<br />
Snazzy shirt, Boatman!<br />
Nosy Amy is nosy. What is that noise?<br />
Psychic paper? She knows!? Who IS this woman?<br />
I dunno I sort of like Rory and the Doctor together.<br />
Yikes, what are they doing to Amy?<br />
&#8220;You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you&#8217;re around.&#8221; He&#8217;s right, but I think Amy was like this before.<br />
So it&#8217;s a blood transfusion? Hrm.<br />
Ten thousand husbands in the water? Hrm.<br />
Did she just kick that lady in the junk?<br />
AHHH! Worse than in the junk!<br />
Oh Isabella, please run too!<br />
Oh noes! AHH! Now he&#8217;s been tazed?<br />
He&#8217;s not dead.<br />
I am heartbroken for the boatman.<br />
&#8220;Those lost to the silence?&#8221; What&#8217;s the silence?<br />
Seems extra cruel to kill a Venetian by drowning them.<br />
Sister of the Water? He figured it out!<br />
&#8220;We ran from the Silence&#8221; Seems like it should be capitalized now.<br />
There were cracks!? Oh here we go.<br />
&#8220;We can build a new society here as others have.&#8221; Have they? Does she mean humans or other alien races?<br />
&#8220;I will tear down the house of Calvieri stone by stone.&#8221; Oh yes yes yes.<br />
&#8220;You didn&#8217;t know Isabella&#8217;s name.&#8221; Oh hurrah. It&#8217;s on now!<br />
I didn&#8217;t know the screwdriver could heal stuff. Wow!<br />
Watching him think is kinda fun.<br />
He is right about that being a bit &#8220;ew.&#8221;<br />
I knew he was gonna say that&#8230;. hahahaha<br />
Fish from space. Hee!<br />
Oh I like him. But I&#8217;m sad for him.<br />
ka-BOOM!<br />
Hory clap that was a lot of gunpowder.<br />
HOW is she doing that!?<br />
What is the son up to? Is he going after Amy?<br />
She&#8217;s really going to stare down the Doctor and talk smack about him?<br />
And she just&#8230;leaves?<br />
And here we go. Your mum? Now it&#8217;s on.<br />
Good luck with that Rory.<br />
Come on Amy clock him with a candle holder! Or something!<br />
Nice work Miss Pond!<br />
Numpty? Looking that up later.<br />
Oooh, at least there were smoochies. (:<br />
Pouring rain as Carlo escapes with the nicer table settings.<br />
Hit it with a stick. Heh.<br />
How did nobody notice the bell tower full of weird cables and whatnot?<br />
Yes, scaling wet marbile, that&#8217;s a treat. And totally safe.<br />
Nice little switch.<br />
O hai sunshine!<br />
She&#8217;s killing herself?<br />
Just not THIS city, Rosanna and you would have been FINE.</p>
<p>&#8220;There were cracks. Through some we saw silence and the end of all things.&#8221;</p>
<p>Creepy!</p>
<p>I liked this one. Nice work!</p>

(Sometimes I add links later for reference, but otherwise it&#8217;s all exactly what I typed at the time.) In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the fifth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called Flesh and Stone. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s971z">BBC Page</a></p>
<p><span id="more-1883"></span></p>
<p>(Previously)<br />
Yeah yeah we know. Get on with it! (:</p>
<p>Jump!<br />
OK, here we go again, shooting the grav globe. And&#8230;<br />
Look up? Where are they?<br />
OH! No way up indeed.<br />
Interesting. Fixed the gravity and we&#8217;re off!<br />
How are the angels getting in?<br />
AHH! That angel in the crawlspace is creepy as all hell.<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re being attacked by statues in a crashed ship, there isn&#8217;t a manual for this!&#8221; Hee!<br />
What did River do that the Doctor won&#8217;t like to find out about?<br />
Ten? What&#8217;s that about?<br />
AHH! OMG OMG OMG!<br />
Hey look, the bridge!<br />
Magnetized the door and it&#8217;s still turning? Yikes!<br />
Why did Amy say nine? She said ten before. Eight&#8217;s next&#8230;is she counting down?<br />
Galaxy class? What do they need? What is it? WHAT?<br />
They need to breathe? So they packed a forest?<br />
OMG they did!<br />
And there&#8217;s the eight! Why is she counting? Is it the angel?<br />
Better than trees?<br />
A forest in a bottle on a spaceship in a maze. Beautiful.<br />
Angel Bob, o hai!<br />
What&#8217;s in Amy&#8217;s eye? It&#8217;s the angel and it did get her.<br />
Yikes, is that the angels?<br />
They are LAUGHING!?<br />
It&#8217;s the crack!<br />
Why does the crack keep following them? That&#8217;s what they want, innit? That&#8217;s some sort of serious raw energy for them to feast on. Explains the lulz.<br />
&#8220;Never let me talk.&#8221; Hee!<br />
What happened to Amy? Is it the angels getting her?<br />
Come on Doctor, work it out!<br />
WHOA. That effect is cool and creepy, the angel in her eye.<br />
Nice job, Doctor. At least he saved Amy.<br />
Respect the thing! I like it.<br />
That was a nice moment between the Doctor and Amy. But what DID he tell her when she was seven?<br />
Oh this isn&#8217;t gonna end well.<br />
Storm Cage Containment Facility? Oh my.<br />
When the crack begins? It&#8217;s&#8230;Amy&#8217;s time? What&#8217;s that mean?<br />
They are sticking their hands in the trees? Oh noes!<br />
What if time could run out? Is that the crack? The end of time or something?<br />
What is it they&#8217;re checking out?<br />
So they&#8217;re down to two clerics?<br />
Hey look the crack in the wall! SHUT YOUR EYES!<br />
Cute sound effects on doing the math there.<br />
So there&#8217;s no Crispin or Phillip? And no Pedro?<br />
They were just there!<br />
Good question: Why can&#8217;t he remember them?<br />
Better question: How come Amy can?<br />
There&#8217;s worse here than angels? I doubt that. Yikes! And so does the angel.<br />
Oh yes, let&#8217;s leave Amy all alone.<br />
Why was River in Storm Cage? &#8220;She killed a man.&#8221; Was it the Doctor?<br />
Poor Bishop. This is sad.<br />
Teleport is dead? What can she do? Maybe it will work after all.<br />
Time energy, huh? Get a move on Amy!<br />
Wow, when you have bigger problems than weeping angels, hoo boy.<br />
Complicated time event huh? Eek!<br />
That display in front of River keeps looking like there&#8217;s an eyeball in it like the first episode, in the crack, looking for prisoner zero.<br />
I don&#8217;t know if I could walk around like that.<br />
OMG surrounded! AHH!<br />
Walk like you can see!? YIKES!<br />
OK watching them move is even more creepy than just seeing them suddenly showing teeth.<br />
So River got it working eh? Cool!<br />
Shields are off now eh? What&#8217;s THAT mean? Oh. Oh my.<br />
That&#8217;s a lot of angels&#8230;<br />
Get a grip. Hee!<br />
So the crack is now eating the angels? Hey, that means the Doctor beat them right?<br />
I guess so.<br />
He fed it all the angels?<br />
Very nice. I&#8217;m freaked out by the angel in her mind too though. They will be back I think. I&#8217;m betting Steven Moffat created his own Dalek.<br />
&#8220;Octavian said you killed a man.&#8221; Was it the Doctor? I think so.<br />
When the Pandorica opens? What&#8217;s that?<br />
&#8220;I look forward to it.&#8221; &#8220;I remember it well.&#8221; (:<br />
Time can be rewritten? I thought only some of it could and some parts have to stay the same.<br />
She&#8217;s getting married? In the MORNING!?<br />
Alone in the dark and it made me think&#8230;<br />
Oh noes. This won&#8217;t end well.<br />
WOW he&#8217;s thick.<br />
I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s not all hung up on him, that&#8217;s what made Rose so tedious.<br />
Ooh! Me! He can sort me out! Well. OK no, I&#8217;d rather the last Doctor sort me out. If I had to pick.<br />
But what&#8217;s the deal there? What happens when it&#8217;s that day? What&#8217;s it got to do with the crack?</p>
<p>I like a good two parter, and I like when it&#8217;s a bit scary. This was a bit scary. I&#8217;m glad it turned out ok, but I sort of figured it would, we&#8217;re only midseason! (:</p>

<span id="more-1879"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the fourth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">Season Five</a> (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Time of Angels. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s8dwd">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Nice lawn.<br />
Oooh! Smoochy smoochy!<br />
Dude, in a tux in the park? With a security detail?<br />
How can he tell it&#8217;s hallucinogenic lipstick by looking?<br />
Rowr! Beautiful shoes, darling!<br />
It looks like her sonic screwdriver has a trigger. (:<br />
TWELVE THOUSAND YEARS LATER!?<br />
&#8220;final resting place of the Headless Monks&#8221; now what&#8217;s THAT story like?<br />
Heh. How he keeps score.<br />
I liked all the &#8220;wrong!&#8221; going on.<br />
A home box? Hrm.<br />
High Gallifreyan? Oh my.<br />
There were days these words could burn stars, and raise up empires, and topple gods? Wow!<br />
Hello Sweetie? Hee!<br />
She&#8217;s winking at the camera?<br />
That&#8217;s River Song, innit? It IS River Song!<br />
Pretty good looking video for TWELVE THOUSAND YEARS OLD! I&#8217;ve got VHS doesn&#8217;t look that nice.<br />
Who&#8217;s Alistair, anyway?<br />
Where can I get a watch with coordinates on it like that?<br />
I must admit, she&#8217;s pretty nervy to attempt that exit.<br />
Wait, why don&#8217;t I recall that she can fly the TARDIS?<br />
Blue Boringers? Hee!<br />
It&#8217;s not supposed to make that noise? Oh my! I like that noise too.<br />
I like when he does that too. (:<br />
She got lessons from the best? So who was that? Was she teasing or not?<br />
&#8220;Time is not the boss of me!&#8221; Heh!<br />
You did promise her a planet, Doctor.<br />
Oh my. Crashy ship. You sure she&#8217;s not dragging you Doctor?<br />
She tried to warn them? Sabotage?<br />
She seems a bit obnoxious now. I don&#8217;t like this River very much at the moment.<br />
Can you sonic me?<br />
Where do I get a diary like River&#8217;s diary? It&#8217;s beautiful.<br />
I do like that this vexes him. He&#8217;s always good with a problem.<br />
Bishop Second Class!? Clerics?<br />
How was she helping with a covert investigation if she was TWELVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO a minute ago?<br />
Yeah I think the weeping angels are REALLY scary. Blink was a way creepy episode.<br />
Nice move, Moffat: Yes. You&#8217;re right&#8230;I am definitely Mister Grumpy Face today.<br />
Father Octavian? &#8220;The Church has moved on.&#8221; Yikes.<br />
Yeah these are creepy. I like that conversation, nice introduction.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ll never get done saving you.&#8221; He&#8217;s definitely pleased about it. (:<br />
Heh. &#8220;Anybody need me?&#8221;<br />
Oh goody, Amy looked at it.<br />
OH CRAP<br />
It&#8217;s moving. I am super freaked out by these things.<br />
&#8220;So you don&#8217;t know who I am yet.&#8221;<br />
She needs the spotter&#8217;s guide? Is there one for him? I bet there is. That would rule.<br />
She turned off the Angel video and it didn&#8217;t help? YIKES!<br />
AHHH!<br />
DON&#8217;T QUIT LOOKING!!<br />
That which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel. eek!<br />
Wink at it Amy! One eye at a time!<br />
Oh man it keeps coming.<br />
Oh good at least she figured out the winking.<br />
She can&#8217;t turn it off? AHHH!<br />
I do like that she wants to know.<br />
&#8220;The eyes are not the windows of the soul they are the doors. Beware what may enter there.&#8221; Yikes.<br />
Hory Clap she did it!<br />
&#8220;River, hug Amy.&#8221; &#8220;Why?&#8221; &#8220;Because I&#8217;m busy.&#8221; Heh.<br />
Oh noes! What is in her eye? Something about looking the angel in the eye I bet.<br />
Grav globe?<br />
Maze of the Dead?<br />
&#8220;No, yours is fine.&#8221; Heh.<br />
Who and what you are? Who and what is she?<br />
Prison!? What the crap?<br />
Ahh! All that sand? What did the angel do to her!?<br />
A labryinth with people buried in the walls? Jebus!<br />
I like River better when she isn&#8217;t trying to be impressive.<br />
Lava snakes? Yikes to that too!<br />
Oh, flashlight going out. That won&#8217;t end well.<br />
AHH!! OMGANGELOMG!<br />
Ew, that was a crunchy noise. Ick.<br />
Bob is a sacred name? Huh.<br />
They&#8217;re two headed? The statues have one head. Why?<br />
OMG I GOT IT RIGHT!<br />
How am I ahead of the Doctor? Hory Clap!<br />
That means all of them are&#8230;oh crap.<br />
Don&#8217;t you dare go look scared sacred Bob!<br />
(crunch)<br />
ew. again.<br />
How is Bob talking if they got him?<br />
Oh they got him. Oh crap.<br />
It got him and now it&#8217;s headed their way. Oh bugger.<br />
I feel a bit bad for the Bishop just there.<br />
Amy can&#8217;t run?<br />
Stone hand? WTF?<br />
Can she really just concentrate and move her hand?<br />
&#8220;Have you got space teeth?&#8221; &#8220;Alive, all I&#8217;m saying!&#8221; Very nice.<br />
Angel Bob!<br />
&#8220;The angels will be with you shortly.&#8221; How English.<br />
Gimme your gun? That&#8217;s not very Doctorly&#8230;<br />
Well!<br />
I hope they jumped.<br />
Maybe he&#8217;s right about the trap. I certainly hope so.</p>
<p>Well I need to know how this turns out. I&#8217;m glad I don&#8217;t have to wait a week! I don&#8217;t know how fun this is, but I definitely need to know what happens when they jump. I am actually freaked out by the angels, I&#8217;m glad this is a two parter. Mostly I just want to go back and watch Blink to see what I&#8217;m forgetting!</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-1877"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the third episode of Season Five (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s56d2">Victory of the Daleks</a>. From the <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Series_5_(Doctor_Who)_stories">TARDIS Index File</a>: The Doctor and Amy are called to London during World War II by an old friend of the Doctor: Winston Churchill. </p>
<p>We&#8217;re in a bunker, ok&#8230;<br />
Reg&#8217;s squadron? Is that our human interest here?<br />
WOW! Look at Mister Churchill!<br />
Secret weapon?<br />
Smiling about it?<br />
HORY CLAP!<br />
(credits)<br />
(I wonder if they ever sold a little pewter Dalek like that. I&#8217;d SO buy one.)<br />
O Hai TARDIS!<br />
Oh my. That&#8217;s some welcome, innit?<br />
This might be fun&#8230;<br />
&#8220;Changed your face again&#8230;&#8221; Heh.<br />
Type 40 TARDIS? What are the other 39 types like? Are there two more types? (:<br />
Are we showing that Winston cares about everyone?<br />
I like him waving off the cigar smoke. (:<br />
Oh noes. This is gonna be bad.<br />
Ironside project? Oh crap.<br />
What&#8217;s up with Bracewell? He&#8217;s brainwashed or something?<br />
Wait, he just lasered those up? Oh noes!<br />
Oh good, the Doctor agrees with me, this was never human technology.<br />
Hang on a tick&#8230;That Dalek just &#8220;looked&#8221; the Doctor in the eye and didn&#8217;t know him?<br />
&#8220;To win the war&#8230;&#8221; Which war? This is bad.<br />
Bracewell invented them? What&#8217;s his deal?<br />
(I totally want one of those Dalek &#8220;To Victory&#8221; posters.)<br />
What DOES Amy know about the Daleks?<br />
Oh right, they DID show up <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Army_of_Ghosts">awhile back&#8230;</a><br />
Ooh, calling her Amelia and it didn&#8217;t work&#8230;<br />
I understand Winston&#8217;s resolve, but come ON! He&#8217;s the Doctor!<br />
&#8220;If Hitler invaded Hell I would give a favorable reference to the Devil.&#8221; Brilliant sentence.<br />
When I look at a Dalek objectively, I know it&#8217;s a plunger and some scrap metal and a few lights, but all put together I still feel my neck hair stand up.<br />
Hypersonic flight? Gravity bubbles? Cool!<br />
He&#8217;s right, whatever they promised you it&#8217;s not enough.<br />
WTF?<br />
Wow, I&#8217;m still being impressed by Doctor XI.<br />
Review testimony?<br />
What testimony? Oh crap.<br />
Of course there were more.<br />
<a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/progenitor">Progenitor</a>? Oh that sounds bad.<br />
And two Marines down. Yikes.<br />
OMG!<br />
Bracewell is a robot?<br />
They just beamed away? Oh noes.<br />
I have to admit that&#8217;s pretty impressive as a plan, to show up and get his attention that way.<br />
Phase Two?<br />
I wish he&#8217;d told her she was a lot safer under the London Blitz than up against Daleks.<br />
KBO? I like it.<br />
I don&#8217;t know why but there&#8217;s something sad to me about the gray haired fellow in uniform.<br />
TARDIS self-destruct? It looks like a&#8230;what are they called? Jammie Dodger? A cookie with jam in it.<br />
One ship survived?<br />
OK, I remember a Dalek opening up and there&#8217;s a little alien creature inside. How does this progenitor build the little guy and the armor at the same time?<br />
Oh crap, what are they doing?<br />
Oh noes, there he is again. Maybe it&#8217;s that in my mind he has grandkids or something.<br />
Ten minutes? Yikes!<br />
What have we got Amy? A gift? Bracewell?<br />
Stalemate? Ah. Extinction is not an option? DO IT DOCTOR!<br />
DNA reconstruction is complete?<br />
New Daleks? They&#8217;re white now? That seems&#8230;hard to keep clean.<br />
Blue? Yellow? Orange? Red? WTF? Fashion colors? I don&#8217;t know what I think of this&#8230;<br />
Mighty Morphin Dalek Rangers? Where&#8217;s the pink one?<br />
Jolly good use Bracewell is at the moment.<br />
&#8220;I don&#8217;t give a damn if you&#8217;re a machine, Bracewell, are you a man?&#8221; Nice work Winston!<br />
Amy is always wearing a nail polishi that&#8217;s a bit odd. Cool.<br />
Watch Winston get the chills over a missile. Boys.<br />
Inferior? Oh noes!<br />
&#8230;and there they go.<br />
Seems a bit odd, though, the &#8220;inferior&#8221; ones bred the new ones, they should keep them round I&#8217;d think. They&#8217;re pretty good at serving tea. (:<br />
I&#8217;ve never seen anyone threaten with a jammy dodger before. Nice work. Sweet&#8217;art.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s a jammy dodger but I was promised tea!&#8221;<br />
Projectiles? Oooh!<br />
You go Danny Boy!<br />
Yeah, I was wishing for an &#8220;allon-sy!&#8221; from Danny Boy or one of the other pilots.<br />
Oh come on Danny Boy!<br />
&#8220;Good show, Doctor!&#8221; Hee!<br />
YAY! It worked!! With Mister Moffat at the helm, you never know who comes out on top.<br />
Hey, my buddy Sergeant Granddad!<br />
Bracewell is a bomb!? Oh noes!<br />
&#8220;&#8230;there isn&#8217;t a bone in your body&#8230;&#8221; Are you sure? One of them opened up before, right?<br />
Destroy the Daleks or save the Earth? Hmmm&#8230;<br />
Tell Amy to defuse him! Stay there and throw down! Amy can do it, right? RIGHT?<br />
WHOA! He just like, popped open like a breadbox!<br />
Prove you&#8217;re human? Talk about the girl you loved. Y&#8217;know, or guy, we don&#8217;t judge on Doctor Who. (:<br />
Oh Doctor, that&#8217;s not working. Try love!<br />
There you go! Amy nailed it.<br />
Kind of a good hurt&#8230;<br />
Dorabella is a lovely name indeed.<br />
Damn. Now they&#8217;re gonna get away, aren&#8217;t they? I guess they have to, they made more episodes didn&#8217;t they? (;<br />
Damn damn damn.<br />
But the Daleks didn&#8217;t win all time, did they?<br />
I wish the Doctor had complimented Winston on his bowtie. (:<br />
Oh noes, her young man? Why are we talking about this? Is it important later?<br />
Interesting idea, winning the war in 24 hours. I guess he has a point about not helping though.<br />
Oh noes, turning off Bracewell. I haz a sad.<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re gonna be&#8230;SO deactivated.&#8221; heh.<br />
Urgent thing. Oh Bracewell, PAY ATTENTION!<br />
Oh Dorabella. What a lovely name.<br />
What she forgot? Ohhh, that she didn&#8217;t know the Daleks. Hrm.<br />
Is there a crack in that wall?<br />
Oh look! A crack!</p>
<p>Overall: I like this one, it&#8217;s a nice episode. Aside from the fashion colors on the Daleks. I like stories where they muck about in the margins of history.</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-1868"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the second episode of Season Five (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Beast Below. From the <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Beast_Below">TARDIS Index File</a>: </p>
<p>So we&#8217;re on a spaceship of England?<br />
It looks a lot like&#8230;is it Bioshock?<br />
Kids in a line, look at those olden desks.<br />
Weird robot voice they&#8217;re all waiting for.<br />
What the-!?<br />
Timmy was bad? Yikes!<br />
They&#8217;re talking to a fortune teller booth guy thing?<br />
He can&#8217;t get in the vator?<br />
Twenty decks seems far.<br />
What&#8217;s around the vator operator&#8217;s neck? Some sort of key?<br />
McClintock&#8217;s Candy Burgers? What&#8217;s a candy burger?<br />
!!! He was just a kid! What&#8217;d he do to deserve that!?<br />
(credits)<br />
Amy in her PJs huh?<br />
Holding by her ankle? Dude!<br />
That looks awesome.<br />
29th Century, solar flares roast the Earth&#8230;hm.<br />
Starship UK. I was right!<br />
A whole country, living and laughing and&#8230;shopping.<br />
He never gets involved, huh?<br />
Hee!<br />
&#8220;Oh lovely, you&#8217;re a cheery one.&#8221; Heh.<br />
What&#8217;s wrong with this picture? ENGINES! There&#8217;s no engines.<br />
Well if there is an engine I don&#8217;t hear it.<br />
Escaped fish. Hee!<br />
&#8220;I think a lot, it&#8217;s hard to keep track.&#8221;<br />
How is a crying little girl a police state?<br />
Who is THAT lovely gentleman in black with a key?<br />
What thing did he do? Put water on the ground?<br />
Why does &#8220;She&#8221; have all that water on the ground too?<br />
I like the tile.<br />
Are you a parent? Heh.<br />
Smiling fellas in the booths. Creepy.<br />
&#8220;What I always do, stay out of trouble. Badly.&#8221;<br />
Well at least she a smart little girl.<br />
Where did Amy get a bobby pin?<br />
I like her rebel streak though.<br />
How is the face in the booth half the head but it has three faces?<br />
Oh now what the crap is that thing???<br />
Looks spiky on the end&#8230;.oh and it is.<br />
And now they have Amy. Oh please don&#8217;t let her be a Martha companion messing about and getting captured every episode.<br />
Where&#8217;s he off to? Engines?<br />
More water!<br />
I really wish he had a nicer fitting jacket.<br />
No engines, eh? That&#8217;s the impossible truth?<br />
What kind of help can he give? Helping figure out the engines?<br />
I am Liz Ten? How many are there? Is this like Caprica Six?<br />
Ahhh! Creepy booth guys!<br />
She&#8217;s 1306 huh? Heh.<br />
Unburdened by the knowledge? That doesn&#8217;t end well, I&#8217;m sure.<br />
Amy recorded a message to herself that she&#8217;s ignoring?<br />
&#8220;Once every five years everyone chooses to forget what they&#8217;ve learned. Democracy in action.&#8221; Hee!<br />
&#8220;No, you look Timelord, we came first.&#8221; Ha!<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s only me.&#8221; How does she know Liz?<br />
A tongue? EW!<br />
&#8220;This isn&#8217;t going to be big on dignity.&#8221; You ain&#8217;t just whistling Dixie, bub!<br />
That sounded&#8230;moist.<br />
Oh, they can get out and walk around? Oh crap!<br />
!!!<br />
Well helLO Liz Ten!<br />
Her whole family was brought up on these stories?<br />
AND DOWN! Holy crap I need to see her do that again.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m the bloody Queen, mate. Basically, I rule.&#8221; NICE!<br />
I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s nefarious. I think those things bursting through are it reaching out.<br />
What if it&#8217;s just hurt and not an enemy?<br />
She&#8217;s been at this for ten years?<br />
She&#8217;s 50 now? DAAAAAAAAMN.<br />
But that mask is so very old.<br />
&#8220;So everything&#8221;??<br />
You&#8217;ve expressed interest in the inner workings of Starship UK?<br />
She has to go to the Tower?<br />
What are they doing to it?<br />
Lasers and pounding, this is bad.<br />
It spared the children?<br />
What are they doing to it?<br />
It IS a torture chamber. Of the creature that spit them out.<br />
Oh that&#8217;s awful. It&#8217;s hurting so.<br />
I am so sorry for this creature.<br />
How does she not know?<br />
It&#8217;s an antique that fits her EXACTLY?<br />
The last of the Starwhales? Oh noes.<br />
Why is he turning on her?<br />
He&#8217;s going to turn the starwhale into a vegetable?<br />
This is really hard for him, poor Doctor.<br />
Oh man. He&#8217;s really&#8230;.wow. I think he just won me over.<br />
What are the kids doing?<br />
It heard the children screaming and showed up on its own, didn&#8217;t it?<br />
It&#8217;s making friends now&#8230;<br />
Oh noes! Abdicate button!<br />
Curse you Steven Moffat! Making me feel bad for humanity even though they were awful!<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s always a big day tomorrow, I&#8217;ve got a time machine, I skip the little ones.&#8221;<br />
What did he run away from?<br />
People phone him? That is a bit odd.<br />
Prime Minister? Holy&#8230;<br />
Winston Churchill? And the Doctor calls him &#8220;dear&#8221;? Hee!<br />
OMGWTFDALEK!</p>
<p>In bed above or deep asleep,<br />
While greater love lies further deep,<br />
This dream must end, this world must know<br />
We all depend on the beast below</p>
<p>OMG There&#8217;s the crack!</p>
<p>Overall:<br />
I like this one. A bit weird, but fun. Sort of sad but also some funny moments, as any good episode should have. Certainly more emotional range here from the Doctor. I think Eleven is done growing on me, I officially like him. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. This is more or less a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. (Sometimes I add links later for reference, but otherwise it&#8217;s all exactly what I typed at the time.) In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-1781"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the first episode of Season Five (or Thirty-One depending who you ask), called The Eleventh Hour. From the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rs6t7">site</a>: The Doctor has regenerated but is thrown into danger before he&#8217;s able to recover. With the TARDIS wrecked and the sonic screwdriver destroyed the new Doctor has just twenty minutes to save the world&#8230; but he has a young woman called Amy Pond to help him.</p>
<p>Oh, the earth, that looks promising.<br />
Oh look, London, I&#8217;m shocked.<br />
My goodness, he certainly looks like he&#8217;s in for it eh?<br />
OK, the close call over Big Ben was kind of a cheap shot.<br />
I sort of like the lightning tunnel intro.<br />
Oooh! New font, a bit serify and all slabs. VERY nice!<br />
I like the new logo too.<br />
Hello typical garden and house.<br />
What an adorable little girl.<br />
Crack in the wall, eh? Interesting.<br />
She put praying on hold, hee! It was to Santa, but still.<br />
Oh noes. Poor TARDIS!<br />
Nice music cue there for the new Doctor&#8217;s grand entrance.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m still cooking.&#8221; heh.<br />
Nice little hop up there. I might like him.<br />
&#8220;If you&#8217;re a doctor, why does your box say police?&#8221; Nothing gets by her!<br />
&#8220;New mouth, new rules.&#8221; Hee!<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re Scottish, fry something.&#8221;<br />
Wait what? He ate bacon and thinks she&#8217;s trying to poison him!? Maybe I don&#8217;t like the new one after all&#8230;<br />
How did he break something with bread and butter? Maybe that&#8217;s why he didn&#8217;t like it.<br />
Fish fingers and custard? How was there custard in a box? Is this normal in the UK?<br />
No mum and dad? Awww.<br />
Helluva scary crack in your wall&#8230;<br />
Cute little apple she gave him&#8230;<br />
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey. Nice callback&#8230;<br />
A split in the skin of the world? Ooooh.<br />
Prisoner Zero has escaped.<br />
Oh Doctor I hope this works.<br />
The corner of his eye? uh oh.<br />
&#8220;How can a box have engines?&#8221; I kinda like her.<br />
Awww. &#8220;Am I people?&#8221; hehe<br />
I hope it&#8217;s only five minutes, I want those two to have adventures!<br />
Oh now she&#8217;s packing. He won&#8217;t be back in five minutes.<br />
Wait that door is open it wasn&#8217;t before. Uh oh.<br />
Can Amelia even see that door?<br />
Oh no she&#8217;s waiting for him. My heart is breaking for her.<br />
Well he&#8217;s back, anyway.<br />
!!!!<br />
Who cracked him on the head? Mysterious aunt?<br />
Now we&#8217;re at hospital?<br />
What&#8217;s going on?<br />
Oh they aren&#8217;t calling her, they&#8217;re calling &#8220;doctor&#8221; which is something else again.<br />
Oh no. She&#8217;s Amelia. I know it.<br />
Conversation? Rory?<br />
Pictures on his phone?<br />
Why won&#8217;t she uncuff him?<br />
If she&#8217;s the police how does she not have a key?<br />
A face nobody listens to? Hehe. I have one too, Doctor.<br />
Oh this won&#8217;t end well.<br />
Ew. His screwdriver is covered in goop. Ick.<br />
He said get out. GO!<br />
AHHHH!<br />
THAT THING IS CREEPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
What&#8217;s the bad alien done to you?<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s an inter dimensional multiform from outer space, they&#8217;re all terrified of wood.&#8221; hahaha<br />
A kissogram? Oh my.<br />
It&#8217;s a guy and a dog?<br />
And the guy is barking. Not bad, actually barking.<br />
AHHHHHH<br />
I had no idea needly teeth were as freaky as they are now.<br />
&#8220;Safe apart from&#8230;you know, incineration.&#8221;<br />
Twelve years late!<br />
SEE? I TOLD YOU SHE WAS AMELIA!<br />
Ohhhhhhh no. I think they mean &#8220;the human residents&#8221; of EARTH, not just the house.<br />
That eyeball is a little weird too.<br />
&#8220;Also crimes.&#8221; I like him still.<br />
A nurse? Oh no&#8230;hahahaha<br />
&#8220;I dabble!&#8221; lol!<br />
&#8220;You were a little girl five minutes ago!&#8221; I might forgive the bacon thing&#8230;<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m the Doctor I&#8217;m worse than EVERYBODY&#8217;S Aunt!&#8221; OK I like him more&#8230;<br />
Twenty Minutes?<br />
I KNEW IT! All of Earth!<br />
Snowflakes with eyeballs? This is WAY weirding me out.<br />
What is wrong with him? Too soon for what?<br />
Hey that&#8217;s the guy from the hospital! Rory right?<br />
Why would she delay him?<br />
Oh there&#8217;s the apple.<br />
Oh noes.<br />
&#8220;Believe me for twenty minutes.&#8221;<br />
I&#8217;m glad he kept the Chucks. Nice callback.<br />
Nice! I have GOT to get me a Sonic Screwdriver.<br />
Oh noes!!!! No more screwdriver!? Yikes!<br />
That needly teeth thing is still creeping me out.<br />
Come on Rory, get with it! Stop being hung up on who he is.<br />
&#8220;Blimey, get a girlfriend, Jeff!&#8221; Liking him better all the time.<br />
Oooh, bossy Doctor. &#8220;Two diagrams AND a joke!&#8221; I forgive the bacon thing now.<br />
Oh my. Look at Amy go in that Mini!<br />
&#8220;Patrick, behave.&#8221; hee!<br />
He came back to tell him to delete his internet history? OK I like him. I don&#8217;t know what bebo or whatever it is is, but I want to know now!<br />
He&#8217;s driving a firetruck. Does everyone who drives a firetruck make that face? I like to think so. I bet it&#8217;s awesome.<br />
It is official needly teeth are SCARY!<br />
Not this time, eh?<br />
&#8220;I did not open the crack.&#8221; oh?<br />
&#8220;The cracks in the skin of the universe, don&#8217;t you know where they came from?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The universe is cracked. The Pandorica will open. Silence will fall.&#8221; I have a feeling that&#8217;s the season, right there.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m never saying that again.&#8221; Oh good.<br />
She&#8217;s gonna become Amy? Oh crap.<br />
Oh no. It&#8217;s Amelia.<br />
&#8220;Silence will fall.&#8221; Again with that. Oh crap.<br />
What happens to Amy?<br />
&#8220;The sun is back to normal, right?&#8221; How do you know in England?<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m saving the world, I need a decent shirt.&#8221; Excellent plan.<br />
I notice Amy doesn&#8217;t turn round.<br />
WHOA! Those were some old villains.<br />
OLD DOCTORS TOO!!!<br />
I just watched that bit again. It was awesome.<br />
OK he&#8217;s kind of a badass. He made the Atraxi flee while wearing a bow tie. I think that counts.<br />
Not sure what I think about Amy just yet.<br />
That dumb normal looking key still bothers me. (:<br />
&#8220;Oh you sexy thing.&#8221; Hee!<br />
&#8220;Bowties are cool.&#8221; &#8220;Are you from another planet?&#8221; &#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I grew up.&#8221; &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll soon fix that.&#8221; Take me! I&#8217;ll sign up! Stop buggering off to England and come to the US!<br />
OMG the new TARDIS is beautiful. Weird and wonderful.<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re the Scottish girl in the English village, and I know how that feels.&#8221; So do I.<br />
What&#8217;s tomorrow morning?<br />
Nice new screwdriver! Oh I love the typewriter&#8230;<br />
That screen is showing the crack. That&#8217;s probably bad.<br />
&#8220;I am definitely a madman with a box.&#8221;<br />
Oh look, a big white dress. Tomorrow morning, huh?</p>
<p>So far I have some ambivalence about Amy, but I like this Doctor some. I&#8217;m still suspicious of his bacon aversion, but he is overcoming it. On to the next one!</p>
<p>Now a coming soon clip for the series:<br />
Hey, River Song!<br />
OMG DALEKS<br />
OMG ANGELS<br />
OMG FANGS<br />
CYBERMEN!<br />
Pew pew!<br />
Van Gogh? Rory?<br />
River out the airlock?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the thirteenth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Journey%27s_End">Journey&#8217;s End</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/episodes/S4_13">the site</a>: As Davros and the Daleks threaten the entire universe, the Doctor&#8217;s companions join forces. But the prophecy declares that one of them will die&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-1493"></span><br />
* Nice recap there at the start.<br />
* Regenerating? But then what? And the hand?<br />
* Why is he the same? Oh how are you gonna explain this?<br />
* Horry clap! Mickey and Jackie? How does he know who she is?<br />
* We Smiffs gotta stick together! I kinda miss Mickey the idiot!<br />
* Not sure I miss Jackie, or that blue eyeshadow. We&#8217;ll see how the old girl does.<br />
* Bullets all stopped? weird ripples? Is it time or what?<br />
* So he didn&#8217;t have to CHANGE just use the energy. Neat!<br />
* I don&#8217;t care if they are reunited, I didn&#8217;t like the two of them that much.<br />
* Ultimate defense? Tosh totally saved their asses? I am even more sad now that she is gone&#8230;<br />
* Temporal prison? That&#8217;s bad mmkay?<br />
* Taking the TARDIS to the Crucible? WTF is the Crucible?<br />
* You go Sarah Jane! She&#8217;s mighty nervy I&#8217;ll give her that.<br />
* Mickey smooching his weapon. Hee!<br />
* Ohhhh Martha. Are you doing something stupid that will get you in trouble again?<br />
* Those Daleks sound really weird. Because they&#8217;re yelling EXTERMINATE in German?<br />
* What was the future? It wash the darknesh.<br />
* I do like this Rose a bit better though, at least she&#8217;s contributing.<br />
* All timelines converge on Donna? Interesting.<br />
* I&#8217;m a temp from Chissick!<br />
* Send Jack as the Doctor! They don&#8217;t know! They&#8217;ve seen you with ten different faces right?<br />
* Donna? Are you ok? What&#8217;s going on in that brilliant little head of yours?<br />
* You were brilliant Donna! I told you!<br />
* Do they know everyone&#8217;s in there? Can&#8217;t they hang one back or something?<br />
* Don&#8217;t go Donna. STAY INSIDE!<br />
* What are you hearing? A heartbeat?<br />
* Ohhhhhhhhhh crap. Timelord Treachery? That&#8217;d be a good band.<br />
* The Crucible has a heart? Is that what she&#8217;s hearing?<br />
* Oh Donna. No no no no o no no no no no no no<br />
* You can do it Donna. I don&#8217;t know what but you will do it.<br />
* Ohhhhhhh what is that gonna do to her? She&#8217;s not a Timelord&#8230;<br />
* What do you call a female Timelord? Timelady? Is she a Timelord too?<br />
* Oh yes. You&#8217;re naked! Oh yes.<br />
* Come on nekkid Doctor!!!!!<br />
* Ohhhhhhh no no no no no no no no no. NO!<br />
* Not Jack! Oh wait.<br />
* Come on Jack, you can pull it out too! There&#8217;s my boy! I saw that wink!<br />
* All repaired? He&#8217;s a bit&#8230;intense&#8230;now.<br />
* Unique? Hmm. I love that hand! Hee!<br />
* Oi watch it earth girl! Heee!<br />
* You are kidding me! OMG LOL!<br />
* That&#8217;s disgusting! hahahahaha!<br />
* He&#8217;s interesting this way.<br />
* You think you&#8217;re not worth it.<br />
* I like that he can peek at her thoughts.<br />
* All coming together eh? I wonder what all is coming together.<br />
* Hello Martha! I&#8217;m sure if you find a guard you&#8217;ll get good and captured.<br />
* Incinerate! Incinerate! Ohhhh Jack.<br />
* Oh look! Humans!<br />
* Yeah I&#8217;m full of exclamation points for this.<br />
* Not doing the nostalgia tour, heh. Good!<br />
* You&#8217;re not in charge of the Daleks are you? Play him Doctor!<br />
* Dalek&#8217;s pet? Can&#8217;t they have a puppy?<br />
* Prophecies of Dalek Crazy? Is he the one from S1?<br />
* How did Dalek Crazy see all this?<br />
* The Doctor and his precious Children of Time?<br />
* His true self? He&#8217;s hiding somehow?<br />
* How did Sarah get a thingy that opens the door? I should be watching that show.<br />
* Oh whatever, Jackie is gonna be fine and you all know it!<br />
* A single string? Of Planets? Oh that sounds bad mmkay?<br />
* I am glad Mickey the idiot gets along with Jackie.<br />
* They all dissolve? Why? How? What good is that?<br />
* What did it do? Sort of dissolved them? Like Rose did to the Daleks?<br />
* But what does it benefit the Daleks to empty everything from&#8230;everything?<br />
* Ohhhhh if they are it they are supreme. But how does that work?<br />
* That&#8217;s beefcake. And that&#8217;s enough hugging. Heee!<br />
* What is that Sarah? A warp star? Innnnnteresting.<br />
* OK Martha what are you gonna do? Give them a chance? The Doctor gives them a chance.<br />
* Don&#8217;t argue with me Doctor! She has a point.<br />
* Calling all Dalek boys and girls! I love you Jack.<br />
* Davros sees Sarah again, interesting.<br />
* What&#8217;s the matter with the Doctor?<br />
* Ohhh, this is what he has done to them. That is kind of sad, I guess.<br />
* OMG! How did it zap them all there?<br />
* More importantly how did it NOT zap Donna? Are they just not looking for her because she &#8220;died&#8221;?<br />
* OMG I think Davros is off his meds! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!<br />
* OMG! Yes again!<br />
* What now? He&#8217;s zapped too!<br />
* Do it Donna!<br />
* Oh crap. Donna has to be ok! Please!<br />
* Human biological matter crisis? Crosses? OK whatever. Still sucks that he died.<br />
* Come on Donna! Do something!<br />
* Did she get part Doctor in there somewhere?<br />
* D&#8217;you wanna bet timeboy? Oh I like this Donna!<br />
* Oh she did get some Doctor. Yay!<br />
* Skinny boys in suits! heee!<br />
* Little bit of human, hooray!<br />
* Yes, more exclamation points. I like her!<br />
* You go Mickey!<br />
* Wait, if she&#8217;s part Doctor is that how she &#8220;died&#8221;?<br />
* HA!<br />
* I can&#8217;t tell you what I&#8217;m thinking right now. Oh I can Captain Jack. And it&#8217;s HOT!<br />
* Did Dalek Crazy double cross? Oh he did!<br />
* Prophecy must complete?<br />
* Has he seen the end of everything or everything Dalek?<br />
* It is kind of sad to watch him take them all down, even though I know it had to happen.<br />
* Yay Torchwood! You&#8217;re ok!<br />
* Is this extra Doctor the one that dies?<br />
* You are the destroyer of worlds? After he tried to save you?<br />
* They leave and he says &#8220;One will still die&#8230;&#8221;<br />
* K-9 knows the base code? Hooray!<br />
* No Jackie no, not you. LOL!<br />
* I wonder why the TARDIS is supposed to have six pilots?<br />
* I love you Ianto Jones!<br />
* I love watching a blue call box tow a planet. This is fantastic!<br />
* This could get VERY interesting for the two of them from now on.<br />
* I kind of like them all together though I must say.<br />
* Rose gets to meet the others who&#8217;ve heard so much about her.<br />
* Go Grampy Wilf! Do that dance!<br />
* Yay Sarah! I&#8217;d like another adventure with her now I think.<br />
* Why is Mickey gonna miss Jackie?<br />
* No teleport? Hrm.<br />
* Maybe there IS something else Martha could be doing? He&#8217;s short a Doctor after all.<br />
* Oooh, maybe Mickey and Martha go Torchwood? Smith and Jones together again?<br />
* I like this new Mickey! See ya boss.<br />
* That&#8217;s me when we first met. It isn&#8217;t though.<br />
* She gets her own Doctor as a companion? That seems&#8230;.wrong. And weird.<br />
* Here Rose, let me leave you a ME as your boyfriend? That just seems&#8230;wrong.<br />
* I have never been disappointed yet in an episode but I am now. Really?<br />
* Binary binary binary binary? What happened?<br />
* Is she deteriorating?<br />
* Oh noes.<br />
* I thought the half human Doctor was the one who died. Is it Donna?<br />
* He&#8217;s taking all of that away from her?<br />
* You are kiddding me. All gone? Just like that!? Tragic.<br />
* &#8220;But she was better with you!&#8221; Yes she was, Grampy Wilf. Yes she was.<br />
* I like DoctorDonna better. This Donna&#8217;s not someone I enjoy.<br />
* Doctor&#8217;s got no one now. Again.<br />
* &#8220;Every night, Doctor, when it gets dark, and the stars come out, I&#8217;ll look up. On her behalf. I&#8217;ll look up at the sky and think of you.&#8221; What a perfectly lovely man.<br />
* Off he goes, alone again. I do like the nice wide shot of the TARDIS though. It&#8217;s good to get a little goodbye there as well.</p>
<p>Well that&#8217;s it then. I still don&#8217;t like the bit about Rose, but at least now she&#8217;s sealed off in another universe so I don&#8217;t have to worry about her ever coming back. Right? RIGHT? All the Rose stuff is too soap-y, I watch soaps for that. Gimme aliens and brilliant Timelords and Grampy Wilf instead!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the twelfth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Stolen_Earth">The Stolen Earth</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/episodes/S4_12">the site</a>: Earth&#8217;s greatest heroes assemble, to fight the New Dalek Empire. But a fearsome old enemy waits in the shadows&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-1492"></span><br />
* Everything&#8217;s fine? Yeah it kind of is&#8230;<br />
* Good, I like Saturdays. hee!<br />
* I&#8217;m still a bit confused about Donna and Rose, honestly. And why Donna is so frakking pivotal.<br />
* Milk jugs asplode? Yikes!<br />
* Why does the Doctor have his hand? Doesn&#8217;t Jack have it? WTF?<br />
* Isn&#8217;t it good Rose is coming back? I&#8217;m glad he thinks so but I disagree.<br />
* We didn&#8217;t move the Earth is gone? Horry clap!<br />
* Far across the universe? But how is she someplace that doesn&#8217;t exist anymore?<br />
* Martha? Hm.<br />
* Jack! Gwen! Ianto! Nice.<br />
* Sarah? I just don&#8217;t watch her show. I hope I don&#8217;t miss out on something important.<br />
* Grampy Wilf! You green swine! They always want the women! This ep&#8217;s first mention: I love Grampy Wilf!<br />
* WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FRAKKING SKY?????<br />
* Rose and her big gun and bigger teeth?<br />
* Oh my. That gold stuff looks like all rift all the time. uh oh.<br />
* Fearsome technology? From the DOCTOR? oh noes.<br />
* The Shadow Proclamation?<br />
* Who are the news people? Are they from other BBC shows or what?<br />
* Ianto gets the giggles. hehehehe<br />
* I love you ya big idiot. heh.<br />
* I wonder what good Ianto&#8217;s local knowledge is now? (:<br />
* Let me guess, UNIT is gonna do their best to frak it up.<br />
* Martha&#8217;s cell is out of service? Odd.<br />
* That looks like a lot of ships.<br />
* Ah, looting. Humans at their finest.<br />
* Hey look it&#8217;s Rose&#8217;s teeth! I&#8217;m sure her and her gun will be along in a moment.<br />
* Spaceships? Grampy Wilf should be happy, not sad he can&#8217;t find Donna.<br />
* Tell me you put something in my drink. hee!<br />
* Project Indigo? I wonder what that is.<br />
* Mister Smith is kind of neat.<br />
* OMG! EXTERMINATE!<br />
* Captain Jack can&#8217;t stop a Dalek? Are you serious?<br />
* Rose unmade the Emperor Dalek at the end of series one? WTF?<br />
* Where did they come from?<br />
* I wonder what Sarah Jane remembers of them, I don&#8217;t really remember her time as his companion so I don&#8217;t know what her knowledge of them is.<br />
* Supreme Dalek on the bridge? The Crucible will be complete? Ultimate Destiny?<br />
* Daleks want Earth? WOW that is a lot of Daleks.<br />
* Did The Doctor get the message en route to the Shadow Proclamation?<br />
* Oh he wore his good coat. Nice. And speaks Judoon? Since when? He didn&#8217;t really speak to them last time round.<br />
* Timelords can&#8217;t possibly exist?<br />
* I&#8217;ve got a missing planet. Heh.<br />
* So who is she? I don&#8217;t know a lot about the Proclamation really.<br />
* 24 worlds have been taken? Who&#8217;d want Klom? heh.<br />
* Her eyes are freaky.<br />
* Pyrovilia? It&#8217;s a cold case? Adipose 3 was last as well? Lost moon of Poosh? I wondered why there were so many lost.<br />
* Don&#8217;t get all spaceman? ha!<br />
* Someone tried to move the Earth once before, a long time ago&#8230;? Really?<br />
* Project Indigo is being activated? Here&#8217;s hoping!<br />
* Did that Dalek say &#8220;And I hate UNIT&#8221;? I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised, but still.<br />
* She&#8217;s taking the what key? (looks it up) It&#8217;s the Osterhagen Key. Oh my GORD, not the Osterhagen Key! (I have no idea what that is.)<br />
* But talk about the nick of time there Martha!<br />
* Martha is down? (Did he say scattered into atoms or into ATMOS?) Then what&#8217;s going to happen to her?<br />
* Who is asking about The Doctor?<br />
* Give me more Jack and Gwen and Ianto! Oh who am I kidding? Gimme more Jack and Ianto! Grr, baby. VERY grr.<br />
* Prepare the Crucible?<br />
* The abomination? Dalek Caan? WTF is a Dalek Caan?<br />
* Those eyes are six kinds of freaky.<br />
* There is something on her back? STILL? Or was something?<br />
* You&#8217;re something new?<br />
* Knock it off Donna you are brilliant!<br />
* Loss that is yet to come? Uh oh.<br />
* Bees disappearing? That&#8217;s a warning right?<br />
* Freak storms are going on too.<br />
* Stop talking and do it!<br />
* Seize your transport?<br />
* Doctor is going to lead a battle?<br />
* Yes Doctor you get that key for her wink wink!<br />
* She orders him to stop? Hmm.<br />
* Grampy Wilf and a paintgun! That rules!<br />
* Oh no, those poor people!!<br />
* GO GRAMPY WILF! Ah crap.<br />
* D&#8217;you wanna swap? I love him!<br />
* Rose saved them? I must admit if this Rose and this Doctor were adventuring I would probably like it. I bet the TARDIS can&#8217;t hold him and her and her teeth though. I don&#8217;t care HOW much it&#8217;s &#8220;bigger on the inside&#8221; I just don&#8217;t don&#8217;t think so.<br />
* Medusa Cascade? Why are they there? Why did it stop?<br />
* You can&#8217;t give up! You are the bloody DOCTOR!<br />
* We surrender? Oh noes. I&#8217;m glad to see other people on Earth reacting though. But how do all these people just give up?<br />
* OMG! Who is that? Harriet Jones?<br />
* Captain Jack Harkness shame on you! I think I like her a bit more&#8230;<br />
* Webcam? She wouldn&#8217;t let me she said they&#8217;re naughty. hahahahahaha<br />
* WOW she&#8217;s a surprise!<br />
* Slytheen? I think I should watch a bit of Sarah Jane!<br />
* I knew the Earth would be in danger and the Doctor would fail to appear?<br />
* Shut up Rose! Now is NOT the time to be jealous.<br />
* Her son is awesome!<br />
* Hello. Ianto Jones. (:<br />
* My life doesn&#8217;t matter. Not if it saves the Earth.<br />
* I can&#8217;t believe it took a woman who never actually went anywhere with the Doctor on a real adventure to get them all to get going. I mean yay, but wow.<br />
* OMG the phone rang! HOORAY! Nice tracky thing and beams from the column in Cardiff.<br />
* Is she sacrificing Mister Smith? He&#8217;s looking a bit melty.<br />
* TARDIS on fire? Oh noes!<br />
* Tell the Doctor from me he chose his companions well.<br />
* She went out like a hero. Good for her!<br />
* Why are the planets appearing round them??<br />
* A second out of place? Weird.<br />
* He found them, yay!<br />
* Outer space Facebook? Heh.<br />
* The Dark Lord is come?<br />
* WHO IS THAT VOICE?<br />
* Davros? Again? HOW?<br />
* I guess I can see that being possible?<br />
* He made more Daleks? EW EW EW!<br />
* Is Davros or the Doctor the Dark Lord the crazy one is talking about?<br />
* Everlasting Death for the most faithful companion? Which one? What makes it everlasting?<br />
* Indigo is gonna zap Jack someplace?<br />
* And that big gun too?<br />
* Ohhhhhh no. I don&#8217;t think Gwen and Ianto are gonna be fine at all.<br />
* Tell me Sarah Jane doesn&#8217;t have ATMOS. (:<br />
* How did she zap around like that?<br />
* Why don&#8217;t you ask her yourself?<br />
* How did she get there, right there?<br />
* Whaaaaaa??????<br />
* No no no no no no no no no. Just&#8230;no.<br />
* Nice gun show, Jack.<br />
* Like Owen, like Tosh. I am SO glad I watched that first!<br />
* It&#8217;s starting?<br />
* But he can&#8217;t&#8230;with the&#8230;and the&#8230;but&#8230;what?<br />
* Sarah Jane? NOOOOO!<br />
* Who&#8217;s coming in the door? How did a Dalek get in the front door?<br />
* Ooh! I must admit watching him regenerate is pretty awesome. It was neat last time too.</p>
<p>I like how they went about this episode, and how they got everyone together. I didn&#8217;t like that Rose sort of reverted back to spoiled self-centered Rose, she&#8217;s way neater when she&#8217;s her own person. I also really like how they did the slow reveal on Davros. I thought they did a damn fine job with The Master at the end of Series Three so I am glad to see Davros back in this one. I am DYING that I can&#8217;t watch the next one right now! GAH!!!!</p>

<p>This episode is the eleventh episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Turn_Left">Turn Left</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: As Donna&#8217;s world collapses, she finds help from a mysterious blonde woman &#8211; but can Donna and Rose stop the approaching Darkness?<br />
<span id="more-1491"></span><br />
* Someplace Asian. Hmmm.<br />
* I love watching them enjoy themselves! Lovely!<br />
* Where is she off to?<br />
* Your future predicted? She&#8217;s happy now! Hooray! You know, or not.<br />
* She can see a man. A remarkable man. That&#8217;s true!<br />
* What the hell is that scrabbling clattery noise behind her?<br />
* This is weird, watching the flashbacks.<br />
* What if you go right? She wouldn&#8217;t have anything she has now.<br />
* OMG SOMETHING ON HER BACK! From the Roman episode?<br />
* Don&#8217;t do it!!<br />
* OK fine, but only because I love a good alt.timeline tale!<br />
* Christmas eh?<br />
* Is that blonde woman her friend Nerys or whatever her name was?<br />
* She can see the bug sorta but not&#8230;?<br />
* OMG the Christmas star is the Racnos spider thing! And she&#8217;s missing it!<br />
* She was supposed to be the middle of that and now she&#8217;s a spectator.<br />
* Something on your back? That&#8217;s EXACTLY what they told her in Pompeii!<br />
* Found a body? Who what now?<br />
* OMG! Screwdriver? Doctor? Regenerate? NO NO NO NO!<br />
* Don&#8217;t do this to me Russell T Davies you terrible man!<br />
* Who to the what now? But she&#8217;s&#8230;.<br />
* She looks a LOT different now. Sounds different too. Did she get freakish giant horsetooth caps? I guess we&#8217;ll see.<br />
* She turned her head and they were gone. ??<br />
* Sacked? Oh I. Don&#8217;t. Think. So.<br />
* And there goes the hospital with Martha in it.<br />
* His name is Morganstern? Like Rosencranz and GuildenSTERN?<br />
* Martha died? Oh I don&#8217;t think so.<br />
* Aliens! I LOVE THE GRAMPY SHOW!<br />
* She gave up on Donna? Oh noes!<br />
* And Sarah Jane is gone now too? That one survivor wasn&#8217;t her?<br />
* And there&#8217;s Rose! Rocketing out of nowhere? WTF?<br />
* Oh yes, giant megacreepy teeth.<br />
* Use the raffle? How does she know? And how did she end up there? And why was it blue behind her?<br />
* Grampy is wearing not one but TWO pair of antlers. I love him! Have I mentioned that?<br />
* What&#8217;s on the BBC? There is a thing on her but there isn&#8217;t but there is?<br />
* What IS she saying? I certainly can&#8217;t tell.<br />
* Annnnd there&#8217;s the Titanic!<br />
* And it did not work this time! No Doctor to save it and now it went wrong. This is sad&#8230;<br />
* I&#8217;m supposed to be out there selling papers&#8230;<br />
* Wow, who knew the left turn would make all that happen? Really makes you wonder.<br />
* I feel like we&#8217;ve seen this street in Leeds before&#8230;<br />
* What a nice man he is, trying to make the best of it.<br />
* What? Dissolved entirely into fat? I TOLD YOU THEY SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!<br />
* Grampy looks thinner, and Mum is about to go round the bend I think if she hasn&#8217;t already.<br />
* Again with the no bees! That&#8217;s bad mmkay?<br />
* Even Mum singing Bohemian Rhapsody, she might be actually happy for a moment!<br />
* Atmos! Here we go! Almost up to the beginning of this episode aren&#8217;t we?<br />
* Bright blue light? What&#8217;s there now? Rose again?<br />
* Oh look Rose. Well her teeth anyway. She&#8217;ll be along a few minutes after.<br />
* Sontaran ship, band of fighters? Mickey?<br />
* Rose is with Torchwood in this one? Gwen and Yanto died? Oh noes!<br />
* Great hair? Heh.<br />
* She saved his life? NOW she remembers!<br />
* The Darkness? All universes? So she&#8217;s not here from Torchwood?<br />
* She&#8217;s the most important woman in the whole of creation? How? What does that mean?<br />
* Good LORD I am distracted by her giant Nancy Kerrigan teeth now.<br />
* I mean&#8230; Good LORD I am dishhtrachted by her shiant Nanshy Kerrigan teesh now.<br />
* Aw, I love that he is excited about the future.<br />
* Labor camps? England for the English?<br />
* Oh, that moment between those two men. All those unspoken words. My heart is breaking.<br />
* Labor camps. That&#8217;s what they called them last time! Oh no oh no oh no oh no&#8230;.<br />
* Mum&#8217;s done. That&#8217;s sad. At least when she was on about something she had a passion for that&#8230;<br />
* Poor Donna, Mum&#8217;s agreed she&#8217;s useless.<br />
* I love you Grampy.<br />
* Stars are going out? Yeah that&#8217;s bad.<br />
* O hai Rose&#8217;s teeth! O hai Rose!<br />
* She&#8217;s like, assumed the role of Doctor? No name and all of that&#8230;<br />
* Seriously I can&#8217;t watch her creepy teeth. She smiles and it freaks me right the hell out. Plush she hash a hard time talkingsh with them.<br />
* He showed Roshe she wash brilliant? I don&#8217;t know that I believe that.<br />
* Show it to us!<br />
* OMG I&#8217;d freak out too.<br />
* Nice long flowy coat btw there Donna. Long and brown&#8230;<br />
* How does she know it was a right or left turn?<br />
* Relevant to the mission? What the hell?<br />
* Poor Donna, I feel so bad for her again.<br />
* How are they finding her?<br />
* This is to combat dehydration. Hee!<br />
* Oooh! It&#8217;sh a thime mashine!<br />
* SHAY YESH YOU GIANT TOOTHED IDIOT!<br />
* More importantly who was it that beckoned her into that fortune telling booth? What do they gain from all this?<br />
* Four minutes. Half a mile. Eight minute mile seems reasonable to most.<br />
* Oh Donna. What are you going to do to stop yourself? This should be good.<br />
* Oh noes! She won&#8217;t make it?<br />
* She&#8217;s gotta toss herself in front of the truck?<br />
* Was that the Italian man from her other reality?<br />
* She didn&#8217;t die. Good!<br />
* Tell him thish: two wordsh: What are they?<br />
* Left it is!<br />
* None of those other things happened that way!<br />
* How did she do it?<br />
* What will you be? That&#8217;s creepy&#8230;.why did she run off that way?<br />
* Why did we do one Doctor only ep and now one Donna only ep?<br />
* Parallel worlds? We know they are sealed off.<br />
* Library too, now this&#8230;<br />
* Is she River Song?<br />
* She said the stars are going out, all worlds. What are the two words she had for him?<br />
* Those two words were Bad Wolf!?<br />
* Ohhhhh no. How is it everything? And why?<br />
* Didn&#8217;t Rose plant those herself?<br />
* OMG it&#8217;s everybody!<br />
* Break for these now while I watch Torchwood I think. I&#8217;mma need those now!<br />
* She&#8217;s wearing the same thing she was wearing at the end of the first episode. (I thought so!)</p>

<p>This episode is the tenth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Midnight_(TV_story)">Midnight</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: The Doctor is trapped, powerless and terrified, on the planet Midnight, as the knocking on the wall begins&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-1490"></span><br />
* Sapphire Waterfall? Antigravity restaurant with bibs?<br />
* What could possibly go wrong? Uh huh.<br />
* DUDE! Look at all that complimentary stuff! I can&#8217;t even get a drink refill most of the time.<br />
* Wow, what a lovely pair they are, he introduces himself but she&#8217;s bothering him? Hm.<br />
* Oh goody. I was worried there was no emo in the future.<br />
* What is she singing? I&#8217;m guessing retro 60&#8242;s TV.<br />
* If I were on that flight I&#8217;d kill someone and it wouldn&#8217;t take long.<br />
* We&#8217;ll have to talk to each other? You know the Doctor LOVES that! Awesome.<br />
* Oh gee, he mostly has you do his grunt work. Imagine that!<br />
* I hope she does find Poosh or whatever it is.<br />
* She needed her space? Interesting it&#8217;s treated as no big deal. I mean it should be but it usually isn&#8217;t.<br />
* Nobody ever there ever? I call shenanigans!<br />
* Way to sashay up front Doctor! Woohoo!<br />
* I&#8217;m a Doctor I&#8217;m very clever. Heee!<br />
* Hi Claude! Hi Driver Joe!<br />
* Let&#8217;s look outside? OK let&#8217;s see it!<br />
* Poisoned by the sun? I have a hard time believing that&#8230;<br />
* We&#8217;re the first? Cool. Worked out by computer though? Oh I don&#8217;t think that was random&#8230;<br />
* Was there really something to see? I watched it twice and couldn&#8217;t tell.<br />
* Completely unnecessary? She&#8217;s all worked up.<br />
* She knows about the engines? Interesting.<br />
* Oh look hysteria! Fabulous! Awful woman, that mother.<br />
* WTF was that!?<br />
* I am really over the Professor. It is impossible for someone to be outside! Someone maybe but not someTHING. Tard.<br />
* Ooh! Knocking three times!<br />
* Cripes, two of the women on this trip are complete basket cases. This is why the Doctor should REALLY be travelling with me. I wouldn&#8217;t stay and sunbathe!<br />
* And why isn&#8217;t Donna in this episode anyway?<br />
* It&#8217;s coming for me? She said she&#8217;d get me?<br />
* Are we going to find out what it is? It screwed up the ship well and truly!<br />
* Yikes! Why is there no front of the ship?<br />
* STFU Professor! It can TOO be gone!<br />
* Oh she&#8217;s not quite right is she? But how did it get in if nothing really opened?<br />
* Good eye Jethro! I hope they pay more attention to you later.<br />
* Oh that copying is freaking me out!<br />
* Yikes! At the same time was even weirder!<br />
* Why would he bring up the Medusa Cascade and list all his &#8220;new&#8221; companions?<br />
* shamble bobble dibble doodle (:<br />
* Creeeeeeeeepy!<br />
* Mrs Kane SHUT UP!!! You basket case!<br />
* Just stop looking at her too, that certainly isn&#8217;t helping.<br />
* Goblin Men?<br />
* There is no it? Oh really?<br />
* At least Jethro is trying to reason it out. Good!<br />
* We should throw her out? Oh good you horrible judgmental khaki wearing JACKASS!<br />
* Yes they could murder her, Doctor. They&#8217;re no better.<br />
* Oh look how I was right that all humans would do is kill the new one.<br />
* Now turn on the Doctor, brilliant! What a good idea, the one reasonably calm person here and you turn on him.<br />
* At least he is smart enough to know not to tell them who he really is.<br />
* Sure, toss out the one calm person! Jeez.<br />
* She&#8217;s ahead now. oh goody.<br />
* She&#8217;s traded him somehow. This isn&#8217;t right. It took him somehow and now he&#8217;s the one stuck but she can move again.<br />
* She took him and yet she&#8217;s still the evil one! How did that happen?<br />
* She&#8217;s safe! She wasn&#8217;t but now she is but just STFU Mrs Kane!<br />
* Oh whenever you decide Jethro agrees with you his opinion counts eh?<br />
* She is TOTALLY preying on him!<br />
* This is miserable for him!<br />
* You go DeeDee!<br />
* She&#8217;s the voice! Of course she is!<br />
* I saw it with my own eyes? YOU DIDN&#8217;T SEE ANYTHING!<br />
* Look at the smile! You can tell she&#8217;s doing it.<br />
* I hate Mrs Kane!<br />
* Did the Doctor catch his foot or was that just coincidence?<br />
* HELP HIM STAY JETHRO!<br />
* FINALLY someone saw through it.<br />
* And it&#8217;s gone. Poor Doctor!<br />
* Poor Hostess! She didn&#8217;t want to do that. Good for her but she sacrificed herself for a bunch of ingrates.<br />
* I said it was her? Hit her in the face immediately! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!<br />
* So what was it?<br />
* No really, what?<br />
* What was the Hostess&#8217; name? Nobody knows?<br />
* Tell them, it won&#8217;t REALLY help will it? I mean honestly!</p>
<p>* I know I saw Rose calling for him on the video screen behind him. AGAIN. I know I saw her on the Sontaran one too. FREAKY!!!!!! What does she want or need and how is she doing it?<br />
* What does Rose want? If she needs him so then why did she disappear at the beginning of the season?<br />
* What is it they&#8217;re setting up? Why does she keep popping up like this?</p>
<p>I missed Donna, I really didn&#8217;t notice how much I liked them together until I had to do without her. But the moments of her laying poolside (?) and seeming completely adjusted were awesome. Not a bad episode, all things considered. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the ninth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Forest_of_the_Dead">Forest Of The Dead</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: As the shadows rise, the Doctor forges an alliance with the mysterious River Song. But can anyone stop the Vashta Nerada?<br />
<span id="more-1489"></span><br />
Rehash before the credits<br />
* Her doormaking gun is pretty fantastic.<br />
* I&#8217;m glad she seems to be watching it. What channel is that? Is it where Agatha Christie was?<br />
* Why is Donna being taken into this weird place? Is it the bin?<br />
* Two years ago? What in THE hell?<br />
* Is he the principal on Hexed?<br />
* No more dreams about the Doctor?<br />
* Hey look, CAL!<br />
* Oh wow what is going on!?<br />
* She&#8217;s fishing with him?<br />
* Married? What the crap?<br />
* Twins?<br />
* Seven years!?<br />
* He&#8217;s from CAL?<br />
* What what? How did he become Dr Moon all of a sudden?<br />
* Then you forgot? Oh lord. This is eight kinds of effed up. I LOVE IT!<br />
* Is that how they all got stuck? All doing Matrixy &#8220;keep the fake world alive&#8221; things?<br />
* I like her slapping him down a bit though. Another redhead putting him in his place.<br />
* WHAT DID SHE SAY?<br />
* Some hair dryers? Heh.<br />
* Two shadows again? Oh crap.<br />
* What is going on with Donna?<br />
* Poor Donna. What now?<br />
* What is with the skipping? Who&#8217;s that there then?<br />
* Why would the little girl tell her not to go?<br />
* Can anyone else see this woman?<br />
* !!!! It&#8217;s the girl! Miss Evangelista?<br />
* How is she going to help Donna? I hope she works it out!<br />
* We did not come here?<br />
* We come from here? Hatched?<br />
* Spores in trees? BOOKS ARE PAPER FROM TREES!<br />
* Oh how is he gonna manage this?<br />
* You go Doctor!<br />
* All the same children over and over&#8230;wow.<br />
* That veil! Yow!<br />
* Actually saved people. Ghosts in the machine.<br />
* Oh this is going to be interesting.<br />
* Why aren&#8217;t they supposed to tell?<br />
* I&#8217;ve been dieting! Heee!<br />
* I am brilliant and unloved. That&#8217;s so sad.<br />
* One word? What is the word. Cal?<br />
* Is Cal something particular? Ruin everything?<br />
* How did she do that with the remote? No more dad? Yow!<br />
* How does he know about Dr Moon and it is programmed to protect her?<br />
* I know Doctor Moon is the actual doctor moon, but how does everything else correspond?<br />
* &#8220;I bet I like you&#8221; &#8220;Oh you do.&#8221; Hmmm.<br />
* I feel bad for Donna some more. I&#8217;m getting to see how she is at being emotional too.<br />
* They aren&#8217;t real? They know they aren&#8217;t there sometimes? And gone? OMG!<br />
* Self-destruct is bad news!<br />
* What is going on with her house!?<br />
* Computers don&#8217;t dream but little girls do.<br />
* How does he know? How does he know who she is?<br />
* This library is her life now?<br />
* I feel bad for him, a little. Poor little girl!<br />
* You just killed someone I like that is not a very safe place to stand.<br />
* Look me up! Wow.<br />
* OMG! She knocked him out cold!<br />
* You know my name! Wow.<br />
*  What is the reason he would tell anyone his name? I guess I gotta look that up too.<br />
* That poor man, how will she find him? He&#8217;s one of four thousand people!<br />
* They were all saved? They are all surprised about it I bet.<br />
* At least he found Donna.<br />
* Oh no he was real and he was right there!!!! ARGH!<br />
* And still he didn&#8217;t look? I wonder why not.<br />
* I am still desperately curious about the screwdrivers that he keeps NOT keeping. WTF?<br />
* Did you see him clear that book cart? WOW!<br />
* Hang on Professor!<br />
* WOW what did he do?<br />
* He put her in the machine! Oh he IS very good.<br />
* It&#8217;s a good place now? Good. Good for him.<br />
* But how DID he make the doors open by snapping his fingers?<br />
* That was a nicer ending at least. Nicer than some have been.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the eighth episode of Season Four (or Thirty depending who you ask), called <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Silence_in_the_Library">Silence In The Library</a>. From <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/">the site</a>: The Doctor and Donna enter a world of terror inside an abandoned library. They&#8217;re given only one warning: &#8216;Count the shadows&#8217;.<br />
<span id="more-1488"></span><br />
* um ok.<br />
* She goes to the Library?<br />
* Where have I seen that doctor before?<br />
* MY Library?<br />
* My mind is blended!<br />
(credits)<br />
* You need the smell of books! How true.<br />
* Seriously, this is a world I want to live on. Or at least vacation on.<br />
* Monty Python&#8217;s Big Red Book? I might need that!<br />
* No spoilers. Nice!<br />
* Any kind of life, he&#8217;s searching on a Mac keyboard. (:<br />
* Are the books alive?<br />
* Weird encounter with the statue robot thing.<br />
* This is very very weird. AWESOME!<br />
* And here we are.<br />
* She&#8217;s a security camera?<br />
* What IS casting those shadows?<br />
* OMG! Is that Doctor whatshername from ER?<br />
* Contracts? Well played Doctor!<br />
* The usual?<br />
* Byzantine? Asgard? What a diary she has!<br />
* Why should The Doctor know her?<br />
* Why is her phone ringing? Why are they hearing it?<br />
* I must admit it&#8217;s quite the book.<br />
* What book? WHO IS SHE?<br />
* I think the foolish assistant girl is key.<br />
* IQ of plankton? Wow.<br />
* Open door? Is she the redshirt?<br />
* Those books are just laying there flattened on the floor. PICK THEM UP!<br />
* So is she stupid to go through that door and look round or did she do a smart thing? Seems dark.<br />
* There, NOW will you believe him?<br />
* How does he know this? Is he a good guy? Is he a bad guy? Does he want to help them or NOT help her?<br />
* I guess it makes sense that he would eventually meet someone who has met him but he doesn&#8217;t yet know.<br />
* Did it happen with the one where The Doctor appears on exactly the DVDs the girl owns? Wasn&#8217;t she Sally Sparrow or something? Maybe it happened with her too.<br />
* Two shadows, oh crap.<br />
* I like her sonic screwdriver. That&#8217;s now the third or fourth variant we&#8217;ve seen so far.<br />
* Ah! Donna! What happened?<br />
* Did the shadow get her?<br />
* Well it got him&#8230;<br />
* Oh crap.<br />
* A what gun? AWESOME!<br />
* Donna Noble has been saved? HOW? WHERE? AGGGH!<br />
* Saved? How is she the&#8230;is that how there were survivors? They weren&#8217;t really survivors they just became the guide thingies?<br />
*AHHH!!!! I HATE TWO PARTERS!!!<br />
* Is she Jenny? Is that why she won&#8217;t use her first name?</p>
