Doctor Who (Matt Smith) - Page 5

I know you've probably seen this - said without rancour.
But just in case.
Made me sigh in a big, gusty, sad way.

I'm keeping well abreast of all the latest theories and such for the season while avoiding spoilers the best i can (one of the few decent uses for 4chan, or at least /tv/)... but I hesitate to offer any predictions. Moffat is too brilliant for us to be on to him this early on.
also:

RORY WHY CAN'T YOU DRESS THIS WELL ALL THE TIME
seriously i am crushing on dapperrory so hard right now.

We now know what Amy knows, that he is the hotness when he suits up.
But in truth I think it's his presence in this scene (if not at this specific time) more than the clothes, that makes him hot.
Usually he's in thrall to Amy (who I adore) and that lessens his character.
I'd say the same about a submissive woman compared to River Song.

I want Moffat to bring Jack back. Of course.
But I know it won't happen this series

Hey, Ibs! Persuade your parents/ college that coming to see JB in Glasgow this December is an important part of your course/ development/ rehab/ coming to terms/ therapy (delete as appropriate - they're excuses in this instance). We'll look after you I promise. Or not, as you prefer.

I've watched the last episode 2-3 times to snag plotpoints and pick up nuances.

I stumbled upon a forum recently where it was suggested that anyone who didn't "get" a Dr Who episode first time was some sort of imbecile. With posters saying things like "My three year old got it!"

Personally, I wouldn't expose a three year old to this series of Who, but that's another point entirely. Torchwood worked far more logically, but I guess I wouldn't show that to a three year old either! Still, the row it caused gave me hope for this place - turns out people can call eachother stupid for just about any reason. And do.

Of course I don't want a facile understanding. I rewatch to see exactly how later plot points mesh (or don't) with what was assumed at the time.

I enjoyed the spectacle of Saturday's episode, but I did feel it jumped about a bit.
Still, what can you say about Amy as a pirate, except huzzah! She might be a model, but she she has more believability than Kiera "sneeze-and-you'll-break-me" Knightly.

And The Doctor seemed to be channelling Denholm Elliott (RIP) in Indiana Jones. Cute.

I was right, and I was right.
And I was right and I was right.

Well - I had about 100 theories in my head. And I still don't get a lot of it.
But about a big thing?

I was right, and I was right.
And I was right and I was right.

Okay - real post? My River thoeries were about as accurate as throwing darts blindfolded. I got something right. But randomly.

Still - I was right, and I was right.
And I was right and I was right...

etc etc

DanaC · 06-04-2011, 04:42 PM

I was right about some of it

Happy Monkey · 06-05-2011, 11:26 AM

We're a week behind again, darn it.

Sundae · 06-05-2011, 11:55 AM

I am trying very hard not to spoil anything...

I thought it was the lovely Mark Gatiss's episode when it returns from hiatus.But although the title sounds like something he would write, it doesn't match the skeleton of the story that has been given by Gatiss in an interview.

ETA a little poking about tells me that Moffat is the writer for the next episode. And in fact I already knew the title of the Gatiss episode. I won't put it in again though, for those who prefer to come to the episodes completely chaste.

September would seem an eternity away if I didn't have Torchwood to look forward to...

Sundae · 06-05-2011, 12:58 PM

I was thinking about making a Strawberry Cloud Cake for my birthday.
For the staffroom I mean, I'm not sad enough to make a birthday cake just for myself.
Because I do love to do something new for an important occasion with no idea how it will turn out

I was slightly put off by the fact I'd have to keep it in the freezer until serving.... but it looks SO yummy and light! And we do have two working freezers. Just one is a little icebox on top of a fridge, and the other is where we keep the disposable miniature ice packs for treating injured children...

Anyway, the above is all moot.
I've found a Dalek cake!

There are probably really amazing professional ones out there, but this is from Blue Peter (very worthy British kids' show - probably been going as long as Dr Who!) so it's designed to be E*A*S*Y*

Linky.
Photo below.

I'd have to change the decoration though.
It's far to heavy on the liquorice to be associated with me. People might think I actually eat it :shudder:
And am also confused by the honeycomb balls. First thing that sprang to mind was a Malteaser with the chocolate sucked off!

Still, 25 days to work that out.

Hearing the little hint of Torchwood theme song at the end of the ads makes me happy.

Plus, there's a Whedonverse actress playing one of the (it seems from the ad) villains!

Sundae · 09-04-2011, 10:42 AM

Damn, I'd forgotten about the Dalek cake!
Will have to do it as a Welcome Back to School cake this week.

I have the majority of ingredients, even the Maltesers (which I decided not to suck the chocolate off - no-one would be pedantic enough to point out that Daleks don't have brown studs). And if they are, they don't get any bloody cake because this is my universe.

Sigh. I didn't like last night's Doctor Who half as much as I hoped to.
Perhaps it was just that my expectations were too high.
It wasn't the acting, or the budget. Just... well I wasn't scared. Unlike Blink for example - which gave me a real frisson.

I'll have to revisit it.
I'm willing to take up the burden of responsibility. But I'm a little bit sad.

DanaC · 09-04-2011, 01:08 PM

I on the other hand enjoyed it immensely :p And I found it creepy. Not scary, but creepy. It'd have given me all out nightmares had I seen it as a nipper though. Dolls. And dollhouses urgh.

Sundae · 09-04-2011, 01:24 PM

Monkeys with ceramic heads and hands would have been better.
And mirrors. Always mirrors.

Glad you enjoyed it - hope they get a lot of positive feedback and the lovely Mark Gatiss gets more work. And he works on giving me teh Fear.

DanaC · 09-04-2011, 02:09 PM

If twitter is anything to go by then a fair few parents found themselves with extra small bodies in their beds :p

BigV · 09-05-2011, 03:14 PM

hello!!!

I've lightly skimmed this thread alert to the repeated occurrences of the word "spoiler"... We just watched the first episode of some Doctor Who series, though I don't know which era(?). It has a lot of pink in the beginning, a cute blond gal is attacked by mannequins, etc etc. no spoiler there. It was very entertaining! I'd welcome some more discussion but want no spoilers, please.

TIA!
