			<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 eleventh episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The God Complex. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014vy02">BBC Page</a><span id="more-3525"></span></p>
<p>surveillance footage, ok&#8230;<br />
I like that stairwell.<br />
Creepy hotel hallway. I feel like I&#8217;ve seen this before. (;<br />
A clown? Yikes!<br />
Lucy Hayward? She&#8217;s the last one what left?<br />
That&#8217;s an old camera.<br />
In &#8220;your&#8221; room? Which room is that? How is it yours?<br />
A gorilla? Um. Ok&#8230;<br />
Praise him?<br />
Girl with birthday cake, is that her?<br />
Who&#8217;s that guy?<br />
What&#8217;s that thing that keeps waking up?<br />
&#8220;The gaps between my worship&#8221;? WTF?<br />
Let me guess. Him = Jack, for whom all work and no play makes a dull boy? (:<br />
(credits)<br />
O hai Amy!<br />
Six hundred foot tall people?<br />
Who would mock up an Earth hotel?<br />
Those are odd photos on the wall.<br />
Sontaran!<br />
Daleks?<br />
Novice Prim? She looks familiar! Saberwolves?<br />
They&#8217;re all&#8230;is that what killed them? Oh noes.<br />
!!!<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been threatened with a chair leg before-no, hang on, I tell a lie.&#8221;<br />
Amy&#8217;s fired? Heh.<br />
Is the Tivoli fellow David Walliams?<br />
This is super Shining-y. Are they in the Overlook?<br />
&#8220;I love things ask anyone.&#8221; Oh hey, that&#8217;s me!<br />
&#8220;I was blogging. Next thing this.&#8221; That&#8217;s me too!<br />
Who is watching them?<br />
Where&#8217;d it go?<br />
&#8220;Three busses, a long walk, and 8 quid in a taxi from good.&#8221; Oh I like this one.<br />
Tied up? Why?<br />
Oh for the love of Pete!<br />
Seriously, I&#8217;m in the Overlook.<br />
Raw?<br />
He&#8217;s a gambler. What&#8217;s that got to do with the ventriloquist dummies?<br />
Even a room for the Doctor? What on earth is in there?<br />
Feast? Hrm.<br />
Why is he tied up there?<br />
WHO IS HE!? Seriously It&#8217;s Jack Nicholson I&#8217;m convinced.<br />
A theory more insane than what&#8217;s actually happening? Heh.<br />
What&#8217;s the deal with the gym teacher? Who&#8217;s was that?<br />
Does he have a stutter? Oh he does.<br />
Oooh! That looked like Oodkind. Oh my.<br />
Nice ankle shot. Where&#8217;s the flood, Doctor?<br />
What&#8217;s that making that noise? Oh noes.<br />
And now what room are we in?<br />
Oh her dad. Yikes.<br />
YIKES!<br />
Crap. I&#8217;m watching this before bed too.<br />
They aren&#8217;t getting got though? WTF?<br />
I think the whole hotel is his room.<br />
OK, I&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s not Oodkind.<br />
OK, I&#8217;m gonna get Toby Whithouse&#8217;s phone number and call him in the middle of the night when I wake up in a cold sweat. Which is lunchtime in the UK. THAT will be effective.<br />
What&#8217;s with Joe? Just sitting there?<br />
Is he dead or just a vegetable?<br />
Sort of nice to hear Amy stand up for him.<br />
He thought the angels were for him? Hmm.<br />
Notify their next of kin? Heh.<br />
Cheesemaking? Both, actually. Heh.<br />
Yeah, I do kind of like her. She&#8217;s pretty calm about everything.<br />
So there&#8217;s batches of people?<br />
Oh good, stuttering blogger is next.<br />
Nice work Doctor! I like that.<br />
Let it find you? So now he thinks it&#8217;s cool it&#8217;s gonna kill them?<br />
All right, now we are getting somewhere! Let&#8217;s catch a monster!<br />
Where is he? Why are we in a hair salon?<br />
That&#8217;s the grooves in the ceiling explained.<br />
Did the Doctor hack the tape machine?<br />
Now we see it, it&#8217;s creepy, but we see it.<br />
Oh here we go, now Howie&#8217;s gonna get the Tivolian (?) on his side.<br />
Warden? It&#8217;s a prison?<br />
Stick to it, Tivolian! Come on!<br />
We heard this before too, about ripe and raw. What&#8217;s that about?<br />
&#8220;You have lived so long even your name is lost.&#8221; That&#8217;s terrible.<br />
Howie&#8217;s gonna screw this all up. Rats.<br />
And now we&#8217;re separated. This is bad.<br />
She saw something. What was it? And heard the &#8220;praise him&#8221; too.<br />
Now I can&#8217;t stop staring at the Doctor&#8217;s hemline. Bowtie, highwaters, who does he think he is, Pee-Wee Herman?<br />
Oh goody. He&#8217;s sticking to that terrible story.<br />
Did his photo just appear or no?<br />
I wonder if the Doctor&#8217;s room will just be empty because his fear is being alone.<br />
Why what?<br />
&#8220;Which is why grownups were invented.&#8221; Good point.<br />
Not her, I liked her. Take the Tivolian!<br />
Have we found the Doctor&#8217;s room?<br />
Is it Amy? I bet it&#8217;s Amy. His fear is something to do with her.<br />
What&#8217;s with the fish?<br />
Why is she able to tell him about it?<br />
Oh Rita, come on. You are better than this!<br />
I still think this whole hotel is the Doctor&#8217;s room, even though he found one.<br />
Why can&#8217;t we trap it again? Can&#8217;t he work out more of what the minotaur told him?<br />
I like the Tivolian less and less all the time.<br />
&#8220;Let him riff and move anything expensive out of the way.&#8221; (:<br />
Faith?<br />
Why does it want Amy? How did it bring them here just with that?<br />
Oh here we go.<br />
Nice to see Amy not wearing heels for once.<br />
Oh NOES! Whose room is this?<br />
Oh this is killing me. That&#8217;s just heartbreaking.<br />
He has to look her in the eye and lie to her so she can live. This is terrible.<br />
This has to be as hard to say as it is to hear. ):<br />
Wait. Amy Williams?<br />
Now go figure it out Doctor, quickly!<br />
We went from the Overlook to the Holodeck? Did I take the brown acid?<br />
What DO Timelords pray to?<br />
&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t talking about myself.&#8221; Oh gee, I wonder who he meant.<br />
A goblin who feeds on indecision? Hehe<br />
Bad Penny is his middle name? What a nice moment there.<br />
I like that the Doctor and Rory get on now. It&#8217;s nice to see the two of them.<br />
Yeah, I&#8217;m shocked they got the TARDIS blue door.<br />
Are they really splitting up?<br />
He&#8217;s right, what&#8217;s the alternative?<br />
Won&#8217;t Amy turn into Luke Skywalker? All her life, she will look away to the future, to the horizon. Never her mind on where she is, what she is doing?</p>
<p>That was good and bad at the same time. I don&#8217;t want it to be over, they need another couple of adventures or something. Maybe they&#8217;ll pop up at Christmas. I sure hope so. Collectively I like them together, it&#8217;s fun now that they have settled into a rhythm. I try not to watch for spoilers or casting notes so I can be surprised, so I really hope they&#8217;re back for another series. I used to not like the multipanion shows, but this one I enjoyed. Good episode.</p>

<p>This episode is the tenth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The Girl Who Waited. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014j7x7">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Apple-appa-chia?<br />
Planet of coffeeshops?<br />
Doors?<br />
Sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades&#8230;heh.<br />
Magnifying glass?<br />
Of course she pushed a different button.<br />
Hello roboty thing&#8230;<br />
Why are they in different places and whatnot? I don&#8217;t get it?<br />
A week!? Uh oh. It&#8217;s one of those episodes.<br />
(Credits)<br />
I don&#8217;t like the &#8220;rescuing&#8221; episodes.<br />
Oh come on! We&#8217;re four minutes in, there&#8217;s no way it&#8217;s that easy, Rory!<br />
But he made it back to the Doctor? Weird.<br />
Statement rejected!?<br />
Two Streams Facility? What good is that?<br />
Ohhh, their whole life? Wow. That seems nice, I&#8217;m with the Doctor on that, much nicer than not.<br />
&#8220;Their kindness will kill you.&#8221; Heh.<br />
Nice toolbox. Clearly it&#8217;s time for something&#8230; (:<br />
Glasses are cool. (:<br />
Oh those should have been 3-D. (:<br />
&#8220;Dunno. Never tried. Best hold on to something.&#8221; Heh.<br />
Weird guide light from the sky.<br />
That video guide is a weird lady. But hey, Roller Coaster Zone, all right.<br />
Uh oh. A shot? I&#8217;m with Amy, no thanks!<br />
A kindness!? Oh hell to the no.<br />
&#8230;and it just gets worse! Run Amy!<br />
Why can&#8217;t they see her in the cage thing?<br />
Their favorite things are kind of odd.<br />
A gate?<br />
Amy just walked into Alice in Wonderland!<br />
Knee-jerk reaction to the Whoniverse: Statues are to be avoided in case one is a Weeping Angel.<br />
Ahh! Those bot things are creepy dropping in like that.<br />
Nice work Amy!<br />
Hello Temporal Engines!<br />
That&#8217;s so many time streams. Wow.<br />
Ahh!<br />
She waited!? Oh crap.<br />
OH CRAP!<br />
They didn&#8217;t save her? But she&#8217;s&#8230;<br />
Decade FOUR!?<br />
&#8220;I don&#8217;t care that you got old. I care that we didn&#8217;t get to grow old together.&#8221; Awww.<br />
She named the robot Rory?<br />
She&#8217;s got quite a system worked out.<br />
I have a hard time believing that even with 36 years she&#8217;s be like this.<br />
&#8220;Anything beats a fez, eh?&#8221; (:<br />
Oh Rory, dont&#8217; walk through it.<br />
AHH!<br />
&#8220;Woman with a sword, don&#8217;t push it!&#8221;<br />
Wait what? No!?<br />
How could she refuse?<br />
(I have a lot of gaps because I keep getting absorbed and not commenting.)<br />
Oh Rory. I hope you can fix this.<br />
&#8220;What about Rory?&#8221; Oh. Please make this work, our Amy.<br />
That&#8217;s so sweet. Do it for Rory.<br />
I rather like the idea that he&#8217;s the one who gets rescued.<br />
&#8220;&#8230;if you&#8217;re bloody-minded, contradictory, and completely unpredictable.&#8221; Oh hey, me too.<br />
&#8220;Two Amys, can that work?&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s your marriage.&#8221;<br />
What? Jettison the karaoke bar? NO! (:<br />
&#8220;Blue into red, green into the blue, leave the red loose and on no account touch anything yellow.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s not rocket science, it&#8217;s just quantum physics!&#8221;<br />
The Macarena?<br />
It broke! What happened?<br />
Both of them! Huzzah! Now let&#8217;s go!<br />
Ack! Come on Doctor, talk nice to her and get the TARDIS back on track. (:<br />
How about if we get back to the TARDIS before we worry about who lives where?<br />
Don&#8217;t get coy now! Hehe<br />
Uh oh. I think we&#8217;re going to lose +36 Amy.<br />
And now we&#8217;re losing the other Amy anyway. Rats.<br />
Is she gonna make it?<br />
Oh NOES!<br />
This is terrible. Poor Rory.<br />
Good point, Rory. Awww.<br />
!!! &#8220;If you love me don&#8217;t open that door!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m giving you my days.&#8221; Oh man.<br />
I backed up and watched that twice, and something&#8217;s wrong with my video. It&#8217;s all blurry there.<br />
Earth? Aww.</p>
<p>Ack! That&#8217;s all I get for an ending?<br />
Somehow I find that VERY unsatisfactory for an ending. It was a really good episode, but I didn&#8217;t like that as an end. Seemed a bit abrupt.</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-3518"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the ninth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called Night Terrors. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014983t">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>Well hello slab of apartments.<br />
The thing?<br />
Five times?<br />
Poor little kid. It&#8217;s hard when they don&#8217;t believe you and you&#8217;re actually scared.<br />
He needs a Doctor? Oh hey, I know a guy&#8230;<br />
How&#8217;d that happen? Psychic paper?<br />
Oh house call. That&#8217;s cute.<br />
(credits)<br />
Soggy. Hm.<br />
Planets and history and stuff, that&#8217;s what we do. Really?<br />
Scariest place in the universe is a child&#8217;s bedroom? I can believe it.<br />
I wonder what he&#8217;s so scared of though.<br />
Yeah, that&#8217;ll go over well, random doorknocking.<br />
Landlord&#8217;s a treat, isn&#8217;t he?<br />
Well hello there kiddo!<br />
Why would the Doctor send them away?<br />
!!!!<br />
Um. Where are they?<br />
Yes please tell us about George, I don&#8217;t know what his deal is.<br />
That&#8217;s a lot of garbage bags&#8230;<br />
!!!<br />
Old lady alone at the trash bins, this won&#8217;t end well.<br />
Oh look, I was right.<br />
What if George is right too? What if the place really is haunted? Or possessed? Or &#8230;?<br />
Oh, there they are. But where is there?<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re dead. Again!&#8221; Hee!<br />
Are they gonna come out in George&#8217;s closet or something?<br />
My heart is breaking for George right now. Poor little kid.<br />
A painted wood copper pan?<br />
All this stuff is fake?<br />
A switch? Huh.<br />
!!!<br />
Giant glass eye? Eek.<br />
How is George&#8217;s switch running Rory&#8217;s light?<br />
I&#8217;m glad Amy&#8217;s thinking. Better than nothing, a wooden copper pan.<br />
The three little sontarans<br />
The emperor dalek&#8217;s new clothes<br />
snow white and the seven keys to doomsday.<br />
Cool, let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s in the cupboard!<br />
Oh wait no.<br />
JEBUS!<br />
Does Amy even own a pair of trainers!?<br />
And other stuff?<br />
He does have a rather nice bunch of robots.<br />
Seriously, I don&#8217;t like the landlord. Whatever it is, he&#8217;s not right.<br />
Off the scale? What scale? And if it makes HIM freak out, oh noes.<br />
George&#8217;s monsters are real!?<br />
Did they get in the lift and end up in the Overlook Hotel?<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re not from Social Services are you?&#8221;<br />
Ah yes, the Jammy Dodger.<br />
So whatever it is from the lift got the old lady too. What&#8217;s it doing with them?<br />
I think they&#8217;re in the closet but I can&#8217;t figure out how.<br />
!!!!<br />
Oh that&#8217;s not ok.<br />
&#8220;So&#8217;s a time travelling nurse.&#8221; Heh.<br />
Eek!<br />
Why can I hear the elevator or something really loud. Hrm.<br />
Ick. Icky landlord and icky ponytail.<br />
What the what!?<br />
How is the floor eating him?<br />
Is it the lift I hear?<br />
That&#8217;s it! They&#8217;re in the house in the back of the cupboard! Explains the wood.<br />
He doesn&#8217;t remember when George was born?<br />
Claire can&#8217;t have kids?<br />
So George is&#8230;<br />
Oh no.<br />
The room shrank?<br />
Who the crap IS George?<br />
!!!<br />
Now he&#8217;s one too?<br />
Oh help.<br />
Help help help.<br />
If he did this, what&#8217;s he scared of?<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s bigger in the cupboard!&#8221; &#8220;More common than you&#8217;d think.&#8221;<br />
So I figured it out a bit early. Yay!<br />
Eeek!<br />
Those things are creepier all the time.<br />
Why do we still hear the lift?<br />
Why&#8217;s it matter about the lift? And how is his room back to normal?<br />
Surprise them? OK&#8230;<br />
This won&#8217;t end well. I have a hunch.<br />
OMG!<br />
Now Amy&#8217;s one?<br />
That&#8217;s the creepiest song too. Oh help.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve got to invent a setting for wood, it&#8217;s embarrassing!&#8221; Heh.<br />
Come on George, you can do it!<br />
Oh geez. FINALLY!<br />
But now what?<br />
Oh that. Goody.<br />
Come on Alex, he is your family whether he&#8217;s alien or not!<br />
That&#8217;s better.<br />
That was kind of sweet, actually.<br />
Hey look! Old lady!<br />
I hope the landlord&#8217;s nicer now.<br />
Oh yeah, Mum works the night shift, she missed the whole thing.<br />
Now I wonder how I feel about kippers too.<br />
I hope he&#8217;s really ok now.<br />
Oh creepy song.<br />
Even for the Doctor?<br />
Yikes.</p>
<p>Overall I liked this one. A bit creepier than most. Seemed to be more exciting and have a lot going on. I&#8217;m disappointed we never actually got a good explanation of what exactly George is, though.</p>

</p>
<p>This episode is the eighth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called Let&#8217;s Kill Hitler. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0146h0q">BBC Page</a></p>

<p>(Catching up)<br />
Silence, astronaut, flesh Amy, Demon&#8217;s Run, Human Plus, River outs herself, the Doctor leaves.</p>
<p>Wheat field. Right.<br />
Mini?<br />
Are they making a crop circle?<br />
That&#8217;s a bit obvious, innit?<br />
What? Oh NO!<br />
Who on earth is she!?<br />
Best mate?<br />
Mels or whatever? I don&#8217;t like her a bit.<br />
They knew Rory that long ago? That&#8217;s sort of sweet, actually.<br />
Still not finding Mels&#8217; endearing qualities.<br />
Amy insisting he&#8217;s gay? Hee!<br />
Nice effect on the TARDIS there.<br />
And now she&#8217;s screwed up the TARDIS. Fab.<br />
Who to the what now? That was quite the surveillance cam system.<br />
Who&#8217;s Harriet? Eyeball?<br />
Spaceship?<br />
Made Rasputin green!?<br />
What the-!?<br />
&#8220;You are authorized. Your existence will continue.&#8221; Eep!<br />
OK, the janitor turning into the SS guy is pretty cool looking.<br />
That lady&#8217;s outfit as she went and looked out the window? WAY less cool.<br />
They&#8217;re in his brain!? Sweet and sour Jebus.<br />
That guy is a ship!?<br />
MY MIND IS BLENDED!<br />
&#8220;Welcome. You will experience a tingling sensation and then death.&#8221; Holy&#8230;<br />
Oh seriously this is impressive.<br />
&#8220;Justice mode activating.&#8221; Oh noes!<br />
Wait. Did the Doctor just&#8230;<br />
oh no no no no.<br />
&#8220;Rory, take Hitler and put him in that cupboard over there.&#8221; Heh.<br />
That was a faint? A faint or a feint? Hrm?<br />
Oh, Mels is shot. Here&#8217;s me trying to feel sad about it&#8230;nope.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s her.&#8221; Her!? Any chance there&#8217;s a ladyDoctor in the future?<br />
Vampires in Venice, heh.<br />
What? They&#8217;re her-?<br />
Mels is Melody?<br />
How can she do that?<br />
&#8220;The hair! It just doesn&#8217;t stop, does it?&#8221; Oh honey, I know how you feel.<br />
Seriously, how did Melody just regenerate?<br />
My brain. It&#8217;s blended.<br />
Even after all that, I am still weirded out by Amy&#8217;s tights.<br />
Oh goody, I know that you know that I know that you know&#8230;<br />
True, why WOULD she be a psychopath?<br />
What IS her life like? If this is her start, how did she get all weaponized?<br />
Also: WHERE was she hiding that lip gloss!? And how did it not kill her?<br />
Shoot her? Oh noes! But she&#8217;s regenerating&#8230;<br />
Yup. That was it.<br />
&#8220;Remember Kennedy?&#8221; Oh my.<br />
Guilt! More guilt! Awww.<br />
Amelia! Awww.<br />
&#8220;Why do you keep saying that?&#8221; &#8220;Because you&#8217;ll be dead in 32 minutes.&#8221;<br />
I wonder why he got Amelia and not &#8220;Sexy&#8221;.<br />
I can be brave for you but you have got to tell me how.<br />
Fish fingers and custard? What?<br />
I missed something here I think&#8230;<br />
Oh yeah, Nazi Germany. Right.<br />
I guess that&#8217;s one way to &#8220;shop&#8221;.<br />
What the what!? RoboAmy?<br />
And now they are unauthorized? OH NO!<br />
Sonic them Amy!<br />
The Silence? Oh my.<br />
Wait what?<br />
Doctor Who? He ACTUALLY said it! Hee!<br />
&#8220;Never knowingly be serious. Rule 27 you might want to write these down.&#8221;<br />
Tiny people? Compression field?<br />
They got Time Travel so they go take out others. Interesting.<br />
Weird protocol, that. They go back through time and make things right?<br />
The Silence is a religious order? Hrm.<br />
But we don&#8217;t know the question? Bah.<br />
How can they fix this?<br />
Sonic the wristbands, not bad&#8230;<br />
They beamed everyone else out? Uh oh.<br />
How is he ok? STILL!?<br />
Now River&#8217;s free but what will she do?<br />
At least she didn&#8217;t run.<br />
Oh geez. That sound just there was Eleven inching closer to the First Place the Tenth has in my heart.<br />
&#8220;She taught me.&#8221; Who?<br />
The TARDIS? Oh my.<br />
I have to admit he&#8217;s pretty snappily dressed.<br />
I still don&#8217;t know if I like this version of River.<br />
&#8220;Find River?&#8221; How? Tell her what? He loves her? His real name?<br />
But we know he isn&#8217;t dead.<br />
&#8220;Show me River Song.&#8221; Awww.<br />
She&#8217;s still regenerating isn&#8217;t she?<br />
!!!<br />
No? What&#8217;s he mean no?<br />
I hope this works.<br />
Wait, kissing him is what started all this!<br />
That was warped and weird.<br />
How do they know she lost all her regenerations? Because she cashed it in on someone else?<br />
Ohhhh, there&#8217;s her book. Interesting.<br />
I don&#8217;t think she can be undone, we haven&#8217;t seen it warped yet have we?<br />
Does he know she&#8217;s going to kill him? Or just when he dies?<br />
Luna University?<br />
Oh noes. Archaeology. WHO is he he talking to?</p>
<p>OK, I feel like this coulda been a really exciting episode but I just didn&#8217;t really feel it. Mostly just weirdness and I feel like this was half an episode and we could have spent more time exploring River and her deal. I don&#8217;t know why. Somehow this just wasn&#8217;t an episode I really enjoyed. Not for lack of trying, but I watched it for the blog and then watched it again and I just couldn&#8217;t get there.</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.</p>
<p>This episode is the seventh episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called A Good Man Goes To War, by Steven Moffat. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011rf7y">BBC Page</a><br />
<span id="more-3513"></span></p>
<p>(Catching up)<br />
Watching</p>
<p>EYEPIECE WOMAN!<br />
Demon&#8217;s Run? OK.<br />
Hi baby!<br />
Melody Pond? Awww.<br />
Come on Amy, you can tell her she&#8217;ll be loved, that&#8217;ll happen no matter what.<br />
(Is that Frances Barber?)<br />
Twenty thousand light years is a-Cybermen?<br />
Why are they taking her? I never quite figured out who they are anyway&#8230;<br />
Wait WHAT?<br />
WHAT IS THIS I DON&#8217;T EVEN<br />
It&#8217;s Rory?<br />
Go Rory!<br />
I rather like that he kept the outfit. (;<br />
The doctors&#8217; message? Run!<br />
I rather like the outfit. I officially LOVE Rory.<br />
Sewing? I like seeing that it&#8217;s made it through the ages, a nice analog activity.<br />
Headless Monks? What the what?<br />
Lorna Bucket, huh?<br />
My husband? Cute.<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re the thin fat gay married Anglican Marines.&#8221; HA!<br />
She met him? Hrm.<br />
They are converting him? NO!<br />
I hope this doesn&#8217;t end badly. I think it will. But I hope it won&#8217;t.<br />
What&#8217;s actually going on with them?<br />
1888? Swords!?<br />
She&#8217;s&#8230;.what?<br />
What is she doing there?<br />
She is a hunter?<br />
More importantly how did he find her there?<br />
Battle of Zarathustra?<br />
Funny that 1888 and 4037 look a lot like, sartorially.<br />
What the WHAT!?<br />
Sontarans?<br />
Nursing is a penance? Only Sontarans.<br />
&#8220;I hope someday to meet you in the glory of battle where I shall crush the life from your worthless human form.&#8221;<br />
They need a Sontaran too?<br />
Oh River, imagine that.<br />
What&#8217;s she doing dressed like that?<br />
Who&#8217;s that?<br />
It&#8217;s Rory?<br />
She knows who he is!<br />
&#8220;Stevie Wonder sang in 1814? Yes, but you must never tell him.&#8221; LOL!<br />
&#8220;Unless there&#8217;s two of him.&#8221; &#8220;That&#8217;s a whole different birthday.&#8221;<br />
Demon&#8217;s Run?<br />
Oh she knows, of course she knows.<br />
She can&#8217;t? Oh River, YOU CAN TOO!<br />
This is it?<br />
What is she up to?<br />
This is the day he finds out who she is?<br />
I&#8217;m right. I have to be. Look at her face every time she talks to Rory.<br />
EYEPIECE WOMAN!<br />
Madame Kovarian? She played another part that I can&#8217;t shake.<br />
&#8220;I admire your courage. I should like to admire it from afar.&#8221;<br />
Of course he&#8217;s raising an army.<br />
Demons run when a good man goes to war. Oh my.<br />
!!!! Him too?<br />
Why would you need me!? I&#8217;m old! I&#8217;m fat! I&#8217;m blue! You can&#8217;t need me! (: I rather like him.<br />
That&#8217;s quite the speech the Colonel chose to make. He chose&#8230;poorly.<br />
A prayer leaf? That&#8217;s very sweet.<br />
Amy she was trying to be kind to you. Please appreciate that.<br />
The Doctor will fall? Aren&#8217;t you cute.<br />
Why we call them headless? OK. Why?<br />
The Papal Mainframe herself? So Skynet is the Pope!? Sweet and sour Jebus!<br />
OMG!<br />
Surprised!? Well I certainly am.<br />
Point a gun at me if it makes you relax.<br />
&#8220;Amelia Pond get your coat!&#8221; Hee!<br />
Where did he go!?<br />
So now the monks are offing people? Nice.<br />
Cute, Vastra. Quite the tongue you have there. I think <em>I</em> know why Jenny puts up with you!<br />
I hope he doesn&#8217;t regret disarming himself.<br />
They keep saying they aren&#8217;t fools, but they are human so yeah, I think they are.<br />
Oh my. That&#8217;s a lot of&#8230;a lot of army that isn&#8217;t them.<br />
Danny Boy!!<br />
Hello there badass Rory!<br />
Also: Pirates! Oh hurrah!<br />
Colonel Runaway&#8230;that&#8217;s quite the speech there. I thought they were gonna fight to the pain.<br />
I really REALLY like when the Doctor knows it&#8217;s time to throw down.<br />
I think I appreciate it because it&#8217;s rare.<br />
&#8220;I am armed and REALLY dangerous and&#8230;cross.&#8221;<br />
Mrs Williams!?<br />
Awww.<br />
They are cute.<br />
&#8220;I wanted to be cool.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Crying Roman with a baby, definitely cool.&#8221;<br />
Rory just FULLY bossed the Doctor!<br />
Big Milk Thing? Hee!<br />
&#8220;I speak baby.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No it&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s cool.&#8221; (:<br />
&#8220;You have never risen higher.&#8221; Oh noes.<br />
That&#8217;s a creepy statement there, Sontaran&#8230;<br />
Oh he has too had children.<br />
Just before America? Yikes!<br />
&#8220;You were very cross at the time.&#8221; (:<br />
I don&#8217;t know how they became friends but ok&#8230;<br />
Is Melody human?<br />
Human plus? How is she human plus?<br />
How does Doctor = Warrior?<br />
I am trying to be delicate, I know how you can blush! Heh.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s all&#8230;sexy fish vampires and blowing up stuff!&#8221;<br />
On their wedding night. Well there you go then.<br />
Uh oh. Headless monks!<br />
&#8220;You can&#8217;t just cook yourself a Timelord!&#8221;<br />
This is sad for him. Oh noes.<br />
Oh NO! It&#8217;s all falling into place. I&#8217;m right.<br />
So is the Cleric. It IS a trap.<br />
TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM AMY!<br />
Oh Dorian, this is bad I can tell.<br />
Yup.<br />
Fooling him twice? What?<br />
OMG!<br />
OMG OMG OMG OMG!<br />
Flesh baby! Right? No. Right?<br />
My mind is blended!<br />
Please someone tell the Sontaran he will die with honor.</p>
<p>Demons run when a good man goes to war<br />
Night will fall and drown the sun<br />
When a good man goes to war<br />
Friendship dies and true love lies<br />
Night will fall and the dark will rise<br />
When a good man goes to war<br />
Demons run but count the cost<br />
The battle&#8217;s won but the child is lost&#8230;</p>
<p>Seriously. Tell the Sontaran he died with honor.<br />
&#8220;Rory. I&#8217;m a nurse.&#8221; So is he, Sontaran. Awww.<br />
I&#8217;m glad Lorna got to see the Doctor again.<br />
Heartbreaking. &#8220;They&#8217;re always brave.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re giving up!? You never do that!&#8221; &#8220;Don&#8217;t you sometimes wish I did?&#8221;<br />
It must REALLY suck to have to tell the Doctor that, especially for River.<br />
At least he figured it out.<br />
Watching him make the kissy face is funny.<br />
Where is he off to? Why alone? What now?<br />
OK that&#8217;s like three times this episode my mind was blended.<br />
&#8220;Amy you have to stay calm.&#8221; Yyyyyeah.<br />
&#8220;The only water in the forest is the river.&#8221; The TARDIS told us that already. Now we know why.<br />
!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Seriously. I don&#8217;t know if I can take too many episodes like this. It is too hard on me! My poor little brain can&#8217;t take this! I get the feeling Steven Moffat sits with a nice drink in his hand on Saturday nights and watches it air and just laaaaaaaaaaaaughs&#8230;.</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 sixth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The Almost People. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011lqwt">BBC Page</a></p>
<p><span id="more-3507"></span></p>
<p>(Catch up)<br />
Creepy Doctor double is the last scene&#8230;<br />
&#8220;Would you like a Jelly Baby?&#8221; HA!<br />
We&#8217;ve moved on?<br />
That was weird and not very illuminating.<br />
(credits)<br />
What is that noise?<br />
Can&#8217;t get through the door, so eliminate the door. Good idea.<br />
I&#8217;m a bit confused by the conversation the Doctor just had with the Doctor Ganger.<br />
An escape route? OK then!<br />
Whatever just came over Jennifer is weird. Stop what? Why did she suddenly walk off with such purpose?<br />
Is that the acid? That&#8217;s bad innit?<br />
Headaches, eh? This could be bad.<br />
I&#8217;m still really confused by Jen, why is she SO anti now?<br />
&#8220;You might as well call me Smith!&#8221; Heh.<br />
Why wouldn&#8217;t she feel more affection for the original Doctor?<br />
Wipe them out? Oh that is bad. Another stupid human trait that is going to screw everything up.<br />
I wonder why it doesn&#8217;t recognize her. If it&#8217;s so exact a copy why doesn&#8217;t it work?<br />
Hoper of hopes and dreamer of improbable things? I like it.<br />
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE EYEPIECE WOMAN??<br />
A time memory like a mirage? How does Amy have one of those?<br />
Why is it only in one Doctor&#8217;s head?<br />
I wonder if Amy feels better now that she &#8220;told&#8221; the Doctor.<br />
It is so sad that this is the way it works for the Flesh.<br />
And now nobody trusts the Doctor Ganger.<br />
So now Rory has to pick? Um.<br />
They are gonna throw down? Which one will win?<br />
Are we sure the acid wouldn&#8217;t do that to any old body? I&#8217;m not convinced the Ganger is the one that died.<br />
Why send the Doctor Ganger? I&#8217;m curious.<br />
Break out the big guns? Heh.<br />
Yup! He&#8217;s with the Ganger. It wouldn&#8217;t work for Jen because she isn&#8217;t human.<br />
How DOES she know? Is it the Flesh? Is that why he can tell?<br />
I get that they are the same person, but how did she know the code word? They aren&#8217;t really the same person now that they have split, right?<br />
Oh here we go. Jen wants Rory to trust her. I have a bad feeling about this.<br />
!!!!!<br />
Why knock him out? What&#8217;s the deal with THAT?<br />
Why the eyes?<br />
That is CREEPY.<br />
What are they actually doing? Why are they in a wall?<br />
She can grow? Oh yikes.<br />
Sky high, you say? This sounds&#8230;unfortunate.<br />
Why would Jen help them? She led them into a trap or something.<br />
&#8220;Call me Smith&#8221; he says again. Heh.<br />
Roranicus Pondanicus? Hee!<br />
Poor Rory, having to throw down with the Doctor. Ring ring?<br />
&#8220;In fact if you have a better pan I&#8217;ll take you to a planet where everyone&#8217;s all ears.&#8221; Ha!<br />
Oh now we&#8217;re just being cruel I think. Why is he running away?<br />
An act of humanity? Oh that&#8217;s nice.<br />
I&#8217;m still bothered by the way the Doctor Ganger treated Rory.<br />
At least the Doctor Ganger has a point. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t have to be about revenge, it can be so much better than that.&#8221;<br />
Oh noes!<br />
Oh now he&#8217;s gonna die. And he didn&#8217;t get to talk to his son on his birthday. ):<br />
I&#8217;m glad his Ganger turned out to be a stand up guy too. That&#8217;s nice.<br />
Both of them turned out to be better people than either of their races would have had them be.<br />
What a cute moment with the little boy. (:<br />
Oh crap! That&#8217;s right terrifying.<br />
He&#8217;s gonna end up on the wrong side of the door I bet. And he&#8217;ll be gone too.<br />
Whoa!<br />
So the ganger saved the human Miranda.<br />
They traded shoes and now<br />
&#8220;Push Amy, but only when she tells you to.&#8221; What? The eyepiece lady? What?<br />
Handed off his sonic ust like that eh?<br />
It will dissolve all of them? Oh no!<br />
That seemed a bit&#8230;weird. A little to convenient I think, that they all just vanished and that was that.<br />
So the Doctor went to peek in on him? I guess that&#8217;s nice.<br />
I wonder what &#8220;Morpeth Jetsan&#8221; is an anagrom of.<br />
&#8220;Remember, people are good, in their bones, truly good, don&#8217;t hate them.&#8221; I am going to try very hard to remember that.<br />
Why should she breathe? Why does breathing hurt her like that?<br />
How is she having contractions?<br />
&#8220;Shenanigans. That&#8217;s a beautiful word, shenanigans.&#8221; He&#8217;s right!<br />
Why block the signal to her? What&#8217;s going on!?<br />
He rarely lays down the law like that, I&#8217;d do it Rory.<br />
Find her? Where is she going?<br />
She hasn&#8217;t been here for a long time?<br />
WHAT!?<br />
My mind is blended.<br />
EYEPIECE WOMAN!<br />
!!!!!!!!!!<br />
Oh holy crap.<br />
Now with the&#8230;.<br />
and the&#8230;<br />
Oh seriously.</p>
<p>I think these two could have been one episode honestly. I do enjoy a good mind bender, but all this with the Flesh seems to have gone on longer than it needed to. But I am a bit curious how this is all going to go down long term. When was Amy switched? Where has the real Amy been all this time? What&#8217;s with the green light? Why the Eyepiece Lady? I like being full of questions, but even more I like that I&#8217;m not having to wait a week (or through the midseason break) to find out how this all wraps up. (:</p>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<span id="more-3503"></span></p>
<p>This episode is the fifth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The Rebel Flesh. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011fnd4">BBC Page</a></p>
<p>✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;✂&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Nice&#8230;island? Paradise? Prison?<br />
Hallway. They look reasonably guardlike. I&#8217;m guessing prison or other holding facility.<br />
Visors down and locked? What&#8217;s IN there? And what are they doing to it?<br />
Wait what?<br />
Did he just get dissolved?<br />
Yikes!<br />
Wait.<br />
No one was hurt? He was just in the&#8230; oh geez.<br />
(credits)<br />
Muse! All right!<br />
Muse and darts?<br />
More flippy floppy body scan. Hrm.<br />
Solar storm? Oops.<br />
Wait. It&#8217;s kind of neat looking! Provided it doesn&#8217;t kill them.<br />
I like the random seat over there on the side.<br />
A cockerel?<br />
Monastery?<br />
&#8220;No, it&#8217;s just that I can hear Dusty Springfield.&#8221; Hehehehe<br />
Ceramic but corrosive? Weird.<br />
&#8220;There are people coming.&#8221; No!<br />
What is the deal in this place? Why are they strapped in? What are the strapped into?<br />
They are the people strapped in the thing?<br />
They only just survived the last solar wave&#8230;.<br />
Odd how the Doctor can totally play someone to manipulate them but basic human interaction (smooching, for example) is lost on him.<br />
&#8220;It acts like life but it still needs to be controlled by us.&#8221; Yikes.<br />
It scans him? That&#8217;s how he gets a double, eh? He&#8217;s the Doctor, he&#8217;s the exception to every rule.<br />
O hai solar storm!<br />
So she just&#8230;<br />
Why was she not her in the first place?<br />
That must be a bit disconcerting.<br />
What&#8217;s with Jennifer anyway? Why wasn&#8217;t she a ganger in the first place?<br />
&#8220;I never thought I&#8217;d have to say that again.&#8221; Hee!<br />
It&#8217;s a shame soar storms are harmful because they look really neat.<br />
Is it gonna eat the TARDIS?<br />
Oh NOES!<br />
What was that flash of&#8230;something?<br />
Are they melting?<br />
What happens to the people if they are &#8220;operating&#8221; the gangers when the gangers die? That first guy was ok but this is not the same thing.<br />
&#8220;A lot can go wrong in an hour.&#8221; I know. I watch Doctor Who.&#8221; (;<br />
Why more Dusty Springfield?<br />
Who IS playing the record?<br />
Did the power surge like, break them free?<br />
Oh great, it&#8217;s happened before.<br />
Jennifer seems off.<br />
&#8230;and she is.<br />
I can see where that would be confusing.<br />
Uh oh!<br />
That was&#8230;icky.<br />
AHHHH!<br />
She just-AHH!<br />
Why did he hand her a microwaved plate?<br />
OH!<br />
So she&#8217;s fake too.<br />
&#8220;We are living!&#8221; Yes but AHH!<br />
&#8220;Always with the Rory!&#8221; Well yeah, Doctor, she fancies the stupid idiot!<br />
Please tell me he sees the TARDIS&#8230;<br />
Shut up Rory do NOT let her see you!<br />
He managed it, oh good.<br />
Does he know? And if so, what?<br />
Has he seen it before?<br />
I swear, the Doctor always seems to think he can fix things by talking to them.<br />
Uh oh. I hope he can save the TARDIS!<br />
And Amy just took off anyway. There here? This here is my shocked face.<br />
She&#8217;s more formed now.<br />
I dunno, I think she&#8217;s a strong girl herself.<br />
The REAL Jennifer? Oh Rory.<br />
Oh! She just like, finished forming! Whoa.<br />
She can feel everything Jennifer felt and more?<br />
Trust me? Oh that&#8217;s weird.<br />
Doctor! It&#8217;s not down there, I think it melted.<br />
I think the Acid has the TARDIS. What now, then?<br />
An empty rack of acid suits? Goody.<br />
What is with the sneezing?<br />
There&#8217;s Cleaves, and the other ones that aren&#8217;t Jennifer.<br />
&#8220;Amy&#8217;s a lucky girl.&#8221; &#8220;Yeah, she is&#8230;&#8221; Heh.<br />
And there&#8217;s our baddie now. Oh good. Where&#8217;s she off to?<br />
WHO IS THAT WOMAN!?<br />
It&#8217;s fine he wants to help the ganger Jennifer, but where&#8217;s Jennifer Prime?<br />
Wait, if there&#8217;s Cleaves, is she in two places at once?<br />
Yikes!<br />
She was violent remember?<br />
Wait what? Now we&#8217;re going to face off? Why would we do this, exactly?<br />
Oh look, another idiot human who&#8217;s going to screw it all up.<br />
I understand this must be weird and difficult, but hopefully not everyone will react like Cleaves does.<br />
Oh noes! Which one did she get?<br />
Rory why do you insist on nearly dying every episode?<br />
Oh goody. Why oh why oh WHY is it that the woman is the one who starts it in this show?<br />
Trust me? Trust who? OMG I KNOW AND IT IS A DOCTORGANGER! (twitch)<br />
OMG NO!<br />
Rory why would you NOT get with the one person who can help you.<br />
&#8220;insaner-er, is that a word?&#8221;<br />
Yup. It&#8217;s a DoctorGanger.<br />
AHHHHH!</p>
<p>OK, this is a two parter, so I am not sure what I think yet. I am a little freaked out by anything that can do things Doctor-style, since being him is usually his ONLY tactical advantage. I still don&#8217;t quite know what era they&#8217;re in, I mean, remember, Rose once said &#8220;Lots of planets have a north&#8221; or something like that, do lots of planets have a Dusty Springfield too? Is the Earth they&#8217;re on the same as mine? I&#8217;m curious. I don&#8217;t know how much I like this episode yet, I&#8217;ll watch the second half and get back to you. (:</p>

<p>This episode is the fourth episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The Doctor&#8217;s Wife. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011884d">BBC Page</a></p>
<p><span id="more-3496"></span></p>
<p>Odd and cave-y.<br />
Idris?<br />
OOD!<br />
&#8220;Nephew will drain your mind and your soul form your body and leave your body empty.&#8221;<br />
There&#8217;ll be a Time Lord comin? REALLY? Huh.<br />
Who knocks on the door of the TARDIS? Particularly in flight?<br />
A box? Oh, sorry. A scrumptious little beauty.<br />
Mail?<br />
There&#8217;s still one left? Oh hurrah!<br />
&#8220;Or herself, a couple of times.&#8221; YES PLEASE!<br />
Leaving the Universe?<br />
Oh my.<br />
Now we are all&#8230;uh oh.<br />
Outside the universe?<br />
Oh noes.<br />
How did SHE become the TARDIS?<br />
Wait, what?<br />
(credits)<br />
Wow, that looks like quite the ship.<br />
&#8220;Well it&#8217;s nothing like that.&#8221; Hee!<br />
What what what?<br />
!!!!<br />
What!?<br />
&#8220;Sorry about the mad person.&#8221;<br />
So yeah, she IS the TARDIS. That is just&#8230;huh.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s like kissing only there&#8217;s a winner.&#8221; Nice!<br />
Oh hai Ood!<br />
Send a signal to the Time Lords? OH NO!<br />
Who is that?<br />
Why is that recording playing on his translator?<br />
Why is he hearing that?<br />
The House?<br />
I feel like this is where Pennywise from IT is from.<br />
&#8220;Somewhoere close by there are lots and lots of&#8230;Time Lords.&#8221; What? WHAT!?<br />
How does the asteroid know he is a Time Lord?<br />
I&#8217;m a bit creeped out by the &#8220;I fix them when they break&#8221; bit.<br />
I do recall when Amy had to bring him back he said he stole the TARDIS.<br />
Heh. Rory.<br />
Uh oh. And uh oh some more.<br />
Oh goody. He locked them in.<br />
OMG! If he locked them in, are they now wandering round in that lady&#8217;s mind?<br />
All that mail&#8230;they all need help&#8230;so sad.<br />
So they aren&#8217;t really there? Oh no.<br />
He was going to get some&#8230;forgiveness? Commiseration? And now it&#8217;s gone.<br />
I WAS RIGHT!<br />
They stole each other? I would very much like to actually see the story.<br />
Only Neil Gaiman could pull this off.<br />
Can he make the lady open the door? It&#8217;s her, after all.<br />
So Amy wants to hold his hand, but she won&#8217;t say she loves him?<br />
Now the planet is talking to them? Yikes!<br />
So they have to die now?<br />
Eek! They just&#8230;died!?<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m a madman with a box WITHOUT A BOX!&#8221;<br />
Sexy. LOL!<br />
Wait how is this &#8220;my new home&#8221;?<br />
Why not kill them now? Good question. And entertainment is a good suggestion, Rory.<br />
It&#8217;s not impossible as long as we&#8217;re alive. I find that comforting and rather insightful.<br />
HALLWAY! Hello hallway!<br />
There&#8217;s a sign on the front, what does it say? Ha!<br />
&#8220;Pull to open, and what do you do?&#8221; &#8220;I PUSH.&#8221;<br />
Oh how I like this.<br />
When they build the new box parts will she be able to change again or still remain a police box?<br />
What?<br />
Who&#8217;s calling Amy? If nobody else is&#8230;Rory? Hours!?<br />
DUH AMY! Hold his hand and never let go!<br />
So all of the TARDISes (TARDi? TARDISees?) have the weird circles on the walls? Got it.<br />
She stole him too, eh? Interesting.<br />
Nice move Missy!<br />
What now!?<br />
Rory? Coming for him at night? What?<br />
Tell me that House is just messing with her. That is so sad.<br />
!!!<br />
OK Amy tell him you love him and HOLD HIS BLOODY BUGGERY HAND!<br />
Telepathic messaging? Nice!<br />
And I like that this is Rory&#8217;s gig now. Cool. A bit irksome that the girl is pointless again, but still.<br />
Sexy is her name? I was hoping for something a bit more interesting.TENTH DOCTOR CONTROL ROOM! Hello, sweetie.<br />
Nephew is freaking me out a bit.<br />
Get out of the way? How!?<br />
&#8220;Did you wish REALLY hard?&#8221; OMG hahahahahaha!<br />
Is the Doctor really going to take House to the Univers?<br />
Is he really deleting them? What what what!?<br />
Oh hey!<br />
Still a bit sad to see the last TARDIS control room but I was thrilled about it.<br />
&#8220;A big complicated word, but so sad.&#8221;<br />
Alive? Wow.<br />
Hello? Aww.<br />
Oh noes. The Doctor is absolutely killing me right now.<br />
Please look over there. I have something in my eye.<br />
&#8220;The only water in the forest is the river.&#8221;<br />
Oh! Not THE river, but River. As in River Song. I bet.<br />
Lose the bunk beds? Hee!<br />
I rather love those goggles.<br />
She can hear you, Doctor. I know it.</p>
<p>What a mad beautiful charming weird episode. I enjoyed it very much. Pretty solid on its own, actually. Thanks Neil. Very nicely done.</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 third episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The Curse of the Black Spot. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0110g4b">BBC Page</a><br />
<span id="more-3443"></span></p>
<p>Ahoy there!<br />
That was quite dramatic music.<br />
That little cut is gonna kill him?<br />
He has a black spot on his hand?<br />
The door&#8217;s locked? What on earth!?<br />
Oh goody, at least they&#8217;re armed.<br />
Hahahaha!<br />
(credits)<br />
O hai TARDIS!<br />
Sensors? Heh.<br />
We&#8217;re SAILORS! Except for the gun thing. And the beardyness. Hee!!!<br />
Hospitality? Nice!<br />
Swords, eh? Nice work Amy!<br />
Nice swordfighting, Pond!<br />
Is getting cut why they die? Is that how they&#8217;re down to five?<br />
Yup. Cut = black spot.<br />
What kind of rubbish pirates are ya!? Heh.<br />
Uh oh. Now Rory&#8217;s gonna die again? Dammit.<br />
And now Rory&#8217;s lost it.<br />
&#8220;Look at their brilliant beards!&#8221; Oh Rory.<br />
!!!<br />
And that&#8217;s that is it?<br />
Go Amy!!<br />
Great, now he&#8217;ll be the one that got away and she&#8217;ll come for him again.<br />
&#8220;Green singing shark in an evening gown.&#8221; Heh.<br />
A leech! Oh noes. I&#8217;ve seen this before&#8230;<br />
Yikes!<br />
Why DOES she want them?<br />
Go where the gunpowder goes! They have to keep that dry, right?<br />
I was right! (:<br />
Captain&#8217;s son?<br />
Aww.<br />
Why doesn&#8217;t he want his son there?<br />
!!!<br />
The son has it too? Because he is coughing blood maybe?<br />
AHH!<br />
Not a curse! You go Doctor!<br />
What&#8217;s the medallion I wonder?<br />
Dodgy mermaid. Heh.<br />
They don&#8217;t need to worry do they? Neither of them has a spot.<br />
They&#8217;re leaving?<br />
&#8220;A ship&#8217;s a ship!&#8221; Nice!<br />
Now they&#8217;re just being mean. That&#8217;s not cool.<br />
Wow, Toby is kinda hardcore.<br />
Lost control? Uh oh.<br />
&#8220;That sounds bad!&#8221; &#8220;Yes it is!&#8221;<br />
Oh NO! If she leaves, then what?<br />
How&#8217;s he get her back?<br />
&#8220;Not much of a captain without a ship, are you?&#8221; Oh NOW it&#8217;s on!<br />
Sonic doesn&#8217;t do wood! D&#8217;oh!<br />
Reflection? OH CRAP!<br />
And now he&#8217;s gonna-<br />
OH CRAP!<br />
(twitch)<br />
I&#8217;d be confused too.<br />
Any reflection? Yikes.<br />
No honor among pirates, he&#8217;s SO keeping it.<br />
Can&#8217;t they just scuff it a bit? Everybody wins?<br />
So they have to wait her out? Joy.<br />
Good question, why is he a pirate?<br />
There&#8217;s the lady with the eyepiece again! What the-!?<br />
Good, maybe he&#8217;ll answer the Doctor.<br />
Nope. Rats.<br />
What&#8217;s out there?<br />
What the what? Do they even know what he&#8217;s asking?<br />
I knew it.<br />
!!<br />
Fight it Toby!<br />
Save him someone!<br />
!!!!<br />
NO FAIR!<br />
!!!!<br />
And now another down!<br />
So it&#8217;s ok to let her have Rory?<br />
I don&#8217;t like this, I don&#8217;t think this will work.<br />
He&#8217;s insane! Clearly!<br />
Watch, she won&#8217;t take Amy. (:<br />
OMG! It&#8230;worked?<br />
Is that what screwed up the TARDIS?<br />
His gun is probably soaked, why would he think it would work?<br />
How are they all dead but not the Siren?<br />
ew ew ew ew ew ew!<br />
Revolted Doctor is entertaining television.<br />
Why is it keeping all the people? To cure the common cold and somehow bring back the crew?<br />
Dumbass. Why is it always a trigger-happy human? Dammit.<br />
So she&#8217;s a doctor? WOW.<br />
He&#8217;ll die if she takes him but they can&#8217;t stay?<br />
Oh noes!<br />
CPR? That&#8217;s it? OK then!<br />
Pond this is cake! You know you can do it!<br />
Oh Amy. You have to be the one because he doesn&#8217;t want mouth-to-mouth from the Doctor. (:<br />
Typhoid fever? Aww. Poor Toby.<br />
So the Captain will stay?<br />
A ship&#8217;s a ship, after all.<br />
Come on Amy, you know you can do this!<br />
How is it that Mrs. Rory has never even taken a CPR class?<br />
Don&#8217;t you have to turn him on his side to get the water out or something?<br />
BREATHE RORY!<br />
He has to come back. He HAS to.<br />
Thank you!<br />
Aww, he and Toby are sailing together! That must be SO nice!<br />
Hey, the crew is there too!<br />
Rory&#8217;s right, Amy. Ah well.<br />
Why does her scan keep flipping?<br />
AND WHAT IS WITH THE EYEPIECE WOMAN!?</p>
<p>Gah. I liked it, y&#8217;know, what the pirates and all. But the bits that string into the larger arc, ARGH! They get frustrating. I did enjoy the balance of season story vs plot story, and this did have a bit happier ending than anyone could reasonably have hoped. So there IS that.</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.</p>
<p>This episode is the second episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called Day of the Moon. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010y5l3">BBC Page</a></p>
<p><span id="more-3482"></span><br />
Three months later?<br />
Running?<br />
Empty body bag?<br />
Oh crap.<br />
OH CRAP!<br />
I kinda like the shaggedy Doctor.<br />
What IS with the marks?<br />
Where&#8217;s River? Where/s Rory?<br />
Oh there&#8217;s River.<br />
New York? But why? And where?<br />
That explains the marks.<br />
Why did Canton turn on them?<br />
What ARE those bricks made of?<br />
I don&#8217;t understand. Rory too?<br />
This is so sad!<br />
Rory spent ALL that time sitting with Amy just to go out like a punk?<br />
OMG!<br />
Oh that was swift. VERY nice!<br />
She ended up in the swimming pool!? Wow. That was rather clever.<br />
They aren&#8217;t covered in marks anymore.<br />
Neil Armstrong&#8217;s foot!? Oh come now.<br />
(credits)<br />
Graystark Hall Orphanage.<br />
BUT AMY TOOK A PHOTO!<br />
What&#8217;s with his bowtie?<br />
Oh geez! There&#8217;s one here!<br />
Oh there&#8217;s not. Eek.<br />
Yikes.<br />
Get out?<br />
He&#8217;s been writing notes to himself.<br />
Leave me alone? Maybe not&#8230;<br />
How did he manage to get IN the rocket?<br />
This is creepy indeed.<br />
And now she&#8217;s blinking.<br />
Who wrote on the wall?<br />
Why are her marks coming back?<br />
AHHHHHH<br />
I am so not sleeping well tonight.<br />
&#8220;I sent him a message.&#8221; Hey look there he is!<br />
River and Rory all retro&#8217;d up are HILARIOUS.<br />
Rory. Hee!<br />
Uh oh.<br />
&#8220;The child must be cared for.&#8221; So she IS there. Or was, anyway.<br />
Who&#8217;s that?<br />
Nice eyepiece thing.<br />
That was weird.<br />
Amy haven&#8217;t you learned yet NOT to go into a room? ANY room in this place?<br />
That must be the girl, but who is she? Is she River?<br />
What? It&#8217;s Amy?<br />
Why is the little girl in the spacesuit?<br />
Help her how?<br />
Yikes.<br />
Yeah, this is messed up. Those things are creepy!<br />
Really? Straight up shot was all it took?<br />
Record everything in the Oval Office? Hee!<br />
Can they help Amy?<br />
Where&#8217;s Amy if that&#8217;s her recorder?<br />
Why is the girl out of the suit?<br />
Where is Amy?<br />
It&#8217;s a live recording?<br />
Silence?<br />
We&#8217;re sorting that out now eh?<br />
But if they are silence, and silence will fall, doesn&#8217;t that mean they are over?<br />
Certainly earning that &#8220;tricky Dick&#8221; nickname, innit he?<br />
Why are they scaring her though?<br />
They are &#8220;The Silence&#8221;? Hrm.<br />
Why DID she leave the suit though?<br />
We decided to go because they needed a spacesuit? BUT WHY? Still nobody has told me why.<br />
Poor Jefferson.<br />
These guys are almost as creepy as the weeping angels.<br />
Nice work Canton!<br />
If the spaceman was coming to eat her, how did it get her and then how did she leave?<br />
So where IS Amy?<br />
She did try to tell you.<br />
Confident. Heh.<br />
OK I kind of like this Doctor and River. They&#8217;re fun to watch.<br />
What&#8217;s all that about?<br />
Oh my.<br />
That actually WAS rather clever Doctor.<br />
&#8220;How fast can you run?&#8221;<br />
Oh noes. This is that thing that exploded the woman in the restroom.<br />
See? It WAS Rory. All along.<br />
RUN RIVER!<br />
She&#8217;s kind of a badass. I like her a LOT.<br />
She&#8217;s quite a sassy broad. I like that.<br />
Safe!? Ha!<br />
So who is Mrs Canton to be? Now I&#8217;m curious.<br />
&#8220;Say hi to David Frost for me.&#8221; LOL!<br />
Oh, she&#8217;s black. That&#8217;s why.<br />
HE is.<br />
Oh my. Woohoo!<br />
That was their first kiss? Sorta. Aww.<br />
So his first kiss is her last? Aww.<br />
What&#8217;s with her being pregnant or not?<br />
She told the Doctor but not Rory? Yikes.<br />
A time head? Hehehe!<br />
Yeah who is that little girl?<br />
OMG! My brain is working overtime&#8230;wacky theory incoming!<br />
What if it IS River? Could Amy be River&#8217;s mum?<br />
New York six months later&#8230;<br />
What?<br />
WHAT!?<br />
How can&#8230;but&#8230;I just&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sticking with that theory. River said she killed the greatest man she&#8217;d ever known.</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.</p>
<p>This episode is the first episode of <a href="http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_(Doctor_Who)">Season Six</a> (or Thirty-Two depending who you ask), called The Impossible Astronaut. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010tb7q">BBC Page</a><br />
<span id="more-3437"></span></p>
<p>Here we go! Officially Season Six at last!<br />
In Memory of Elisabeth Sladen. Aww.<br />
Doctor?<br />
Nice painting!<br />
Doctor Who? Tee Hee!<br />
HelLO!<br />
Wait, now it&#8217;s now?<br />
Trying to tunnel out of the Tower of London?<br />
Hey! There he is!<br />
Oh that&#8217;s a lovely invite&#8230;<br />
River got one too? How did she get mail in Storm Cage?<br />
Packing, eh?<br />
A planet called America? About damned time!<br />
!!!<br />
Nice hat!<br />
Nicer car!<br />
Stetsons ARE cool. You&#8217;re on my turf now, darlin. (:<br />
Tonight I&#8217;m going to stop&#8230;?<br />
Space? 1969!? Oh yes.<br />
(credits)<br />
Look at Rory in the opening credits!<br />
He&#8217;s eleven hundred and three!?<br />
Hello hello.<br />
Amy saw something and clean forgot?<br />
Curious. What IS he up to?<br />
Astronaut?<br />
&#8220;Whatever happens now you do not interfere.&#8221; What?<br />
I do love a good mind bender, but holy cow I&#8217;m all manner of bent up now.<br />
He know&#8217;s it&#8217;s who?<br />
What the WHAT!?!?<br />
Who is in the suit?<br />
OMG! River&#8217;s the one that killed him. I&#8217;m sure of it.<br />
He&#8217;s regenerating!? No he&#8217;s not! Oh NO!<br />
He&#8217;s dead?! And nobody thought to get a peek at the astronaut?<br />
They&#8217;re to set him on fire?<br />
Oh this is KILLING me! SO unfair! I know he has to come back somehow but&#8230;but&#8230;<br />
2 and 4, Amy&#8217;s is what number?<br />
Canton Everett Delaware the Third? Aww. What? &#8220;I won&#8217;t be seeing you again, but you&#8217;ll be seeing me.&#8221;<br />
Timeline troubles, like with River.<br />
There&#8217;s the envelope but who sat there?<br />
Himself?<br />
What the-!?<br />
How can this be?<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m the King of OK.&#8221; I don&#8217;t have any idea what&#8217;s happened.<br />
She slapped him hard! Good!<br />
909? Uh oh.<br />
Bumpy Wumpy. Heh. I liked Wibbly Wobbly better.<br />
Knitting or biplanes. Heh.<br />
Who is she? How does he not know? They&#8217;ve met before at this point.<br />
Ooh. She broke out the big guns there. And he called her Amelia. Aww.<br />
Ex-FBI? Oh goodness.<br />
Nixon? Nice.<br />
&#8220;Hippy.&#8221; &#8220;Archaeologist.&#8221; (:<br />
A direct call every night? Neither man or woman? Yikes.<br />
He&#8217;s-oh my goodness. That was rather impressive.<br />
Jefferson Adams Hampton? Hrm.<br />
I like the note taking. Cute.<br />
&#8220;Very much NOT in need of getting shot.&#8221; Hee!<br />
The Legs, The Nose, and Mrs Robinson. Hahahaha!!<br />
Nice move there, guy from BSG whose name I forgot.<br />
Twelve Jammy Dodgers and a Fez. Hee!<br />
What? That&#8217;s what she saw in Utah right?<br />
AHH!<br />
What is that thing!?<br />
OK that thing is WAY freaky.<br />
And it doesn&#8217;t get any better does it?<br />
SEND THAT PICTURE AMY SEND IT NOW<br />
She doesn&#8217;t remember what she has to tell the Doctor?<br />
Yeah, that&#8217;s not a phone in 1969, Amy.<br />
&#8230;and Nixon&#8217;s mind is blown.<br />
&#8220;Two of them fancied me.&#8221;!!!<br />
Why is a little girl stuck there?<br />
There&#8217;s the astronaut!<br />
Cooler? Hahaha<br />
This is all very icky looking. Why is it all here and why does the space program look abandoned?<br />
Lamkin! He was Lamkin. Romo Lamkin?<br />
!!!!<br />
It&#8217;s a bunch of them!<br />
Why isn&#8217;t she screaming?<br />
What? I just&#8230;what?<br />
A bit sick? So did Amy after she saw one up close.<br />
These might even be creepier than the needletoothed worm from the first ep of last season.<br />
Why I love River: &#8220;Is this sensible?&#8221; &#8220;God I hope not.&#8221;<br />
It&#8217;s weird they&#8217;re going in opposite directions.<br />
AHH!<br />
Seriously they&#8217;re creepy every time.<br />
EVERY TIME!!!<br />
Tunnels have been here for centuries?<br />
Did they get Rory?<br />
We got two &#8220;Doctor Who?&#8221; jokes in one episode?<br />
!!!<br />
There she is!<br />
It&#8217;s a recording, innit? Or one of those things can fake the voice?<br />
She&#8217;s pregnant?<br />
Hey look it&#8217;s the spaceman! Can we kill it now?<br />
River, that is.<br />
It&#8217;s not River!? I was so convinced!<br />
And Amy shot it?<br />
(twitch)</p>
<p>OK, overall this is a weird distressing episode. Quite a switch from Christmas I must say. I don&#8217;t have the amount of note taking I usually do because watching this one I had a lot of catching up to do to keep up with the plot in parts. I think I liked it but I also am a little nervous about how it turns out.</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 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>

In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump.<br />
<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>

			<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-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>

<span id="more-3369"></span></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>
