Sea Devils And Die: GeroniMoffat's Doctor Who In The 2010s

:(

Aw man, fuck.

this is just wrong... I don't know how to handle this. so... WRONG!
RIP :(

Firing up Hand of Fear right now.

ELDRAD MUST...

Oh fuck.

I'm struggling.

FUCK

oh jeez that farewell clip...bawling real tears now

Moat astounding thing is that she kept performing through it all. They've been shooting another series of SJA, i mean

yeah, you're right. She was pretty Sarah Jane-like irl, I guess too. Bless her.

oh damn

Fucking hell, she's genuinely brilliant in this.

Ignore me if I post again.

I hate crying at work

^^^

"Don't forget me"

I feel bad for not staying with Sarah Jane Adventures now ;_;

Now hit with the realisation that William Russell, Fraze, Debbie, Padders, Katy, Jackie Lane, Anneke, Maureen and Blue Peter are all much older.

Tom Baker is 10 years older and the Wet Vet is only 3 younger.

In more positive news, Hand is still awesome. Glyn Houston is probably the best thing in it though. I almost wish I had gone for Pyramids just for "I hit it, I know I did..."

No no no - this is awful

damn...

aw jeez, that's too sad....poor k-9

I know--it almost makes me cry

Aw fuck. Missed the news yesterday. This is unbelievably sad.

I'm selling a bunch of the mid-90s Virgin "New Adventures" paperbacks.

First Frontier,
Warlock,
Conundrum,
Warchild,
Head Games,
The Dimension Riders,
Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark
Parasite
and Oh No It Isn't.

Anybody interested? Email me for details.

It's looking like it'll be a four-person TARDIS entourage this time, which'll be fun and will allow for lots of potential for secrets and shifting allegiances.

And lezzing up.

Nice preview at The Quietus. Might be a bit spoilery for some though, so don't shoot the messenger!

I saw the first picture about a month ago and it's definitely too spoilery for here.

This story is a pile of wtf though.

Obviously, I thought it was going to be Patrick.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Kind of annoyed that BBCAmerica is waiting til MIDNIGHT to show this but...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I enjoyed that, except that I have become obsessed with how badly Murray Gold wants to bury the proper theme tune under sound effects and noises of his own devising so he can push his GOLD AGENDAR and bring in his own theme tune.

I think this series may be where "timey-wimey" takes over to the point where people who aren't me start wishing teh Moff was as clever as he thinks he is.

I went to Thornbury this afternoon in a Lis tribute. I did not take a stuffed owl.

Oh, I had scooted off to CBBC for the Lis thing and didn't see it, apparently Next Time was dead, dead spoilery?

did you take a tennis racket?

Yes, and a yellow raincoat.

;_;

God I wish you're right.

Apropos of fuck-all we watch the xmas special on Friday. Awful, but then this whole thread seems to agree so that's all right. Thinking about watching at least the first one this weekend (open-minded of course) just to see where it's going.

i'm going to need a pot of coffee, twelve Jammie Dodgers and a fez

Wow, the tone of it is totally different to, say, the first episode last year. Got completely lost in it from beginning to end, aside from a little yawn during River's speech to Rory.

The 'spoilers' thing that River says is a bit tired getting.

there's no way they can fit all that in the next episode.

I felt like that during her first appearance. I feel like I might have mentioned it.

yay turns out my tivo is a moron, Who showing at 6pm, not midnight as first thought! again I say Woooooooooooooooo!!!'

i have a real chip on my shoulder about moffat's timey-wimey business, i was v. upset at the shenanigans w/old and young versions coexisting in the christmas special. my sister watched this episode without me and came back and said "so yeah you're not going to like this."

I don't remember anything egregiously paradoxical or handwavy in the xmas special. Not that that means anything, with my memory. But River going on about how they're moving in different directions - I just can't be fucked to expend the intellectual effort to figure out if that makes conceptual sense or not.

Aliens in this ep though: scariest looking Greys ever. That bathroom scene, Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus they didn't really hold back on the fear factor there.

otm that was probably the creepiest thing i've ever seen in DW. why have the Silent actually be able to speak tho? seems to devalue their concept...

appreciated that moffat had river explain about paradox problems to amy and rory as a way of re-assurance that he was still respecting that kind of thing to some extent, re-establishing the rules (only the doctor can fuck around with spacetime, save himself etc.).

liked the easter island reference (re smith's head shape).

it was probably the most gorgeous episode they've ever done esp. the (groom?) lake scenes, astronaut in the water etc. amazing lighting.

hoping more battlestar galactica bit players show up (romo lampkin!).

but didn't get amy's 'btw i'm preganant' bit at all tho, and the cliffhanger was shit (as they usually are).

Moffatt's one of the few Who writers to actually use time travel and its implications for the plot. (Blink is incredible for me due to the pretzel of the story, not so much the Angels, which are also great.) Most Who stuff is very linear and just uses time travel to appear in an exotic location inevitably featuring an incongruous monster. So for me all this meeting-before-we-met stuff is a gas.

Was thinking for a minute that Amy's pregnant with River who's the Doctor's daughter and also his assassin, but then I remembered the constant flirting (handcuffs conversation with Tennant/'I'm a screamer' etc). Didn't Amy and the Dr make out at some point though? Could have sworn that happened last season but I can't remember when. The nausea came up after she'd first seen the greys though, so the pregnancy may be Amy's subconscious trying to rationalize her experience.

Ahh hah hah I totally missed the Easter Island bit, that's awesome

btw the Laurel and Hardy is Flying Deuces

the (groom?) lake scenes

Oh that would've been utterly brilliant! Unfortunately Groom Lake is actually a salt flat and not a real lake... it just looks like one from above.

Yeah I'm sort of thinking along the same lines as Brakhage but can't get out of it...what if Amy AND River are pregnant. And somehow they're...the same? Daughter/mother? Idk, just making stuff up. But great first part, always love Romo Lampkin showing up in my favorite shows. Those Greys are aaaaaggh under the bedcovers scary as all get out.
