who sends buzzy into epically-long-sentence mode as she tries to share her feelings without spoiling
Today, I have made half a dozen attempts to write this post only to get stuck in a gloopy uncommunicative mire as I get increasingly frustrated at trying to translate my thoughts into words. Also, I am not thinking in a straight line right now. I know that doesn't make sense, sorry.
So, my thoughts on last night's Who will be taken as my initial "wtf" and general admiration of the Who writing team et al pulling the carpet out from under our feet in the most spectacular manner. Also, this action-packed episode, I think, shows that they had thought out part one's doppelgänger-cliffhanger before they worked out the timing - this episode being frantically busy, last episode being the mother of slow-starters.
Oh, and Matt was amazing (this is a spoiler-free entry, so this whole reporting thing gets obtuse to the point of elliptical) and (as nearly always now team Moffat are in the house) Doctor Who Confidential was really interesting - including the art/continuity team always carrying a fully-fitted first-aid-kit-style plastic box with "SONIC" screen-printed on the side. It was adorably filled with two functional and two prop sonics and spare bulbs all packed away in a lovely and orderly fashion. If you haven't been on Earth since Tennant demilitarized, Matt Smith is notorious for breaking props, tripping over them and dancing "like a drunken giraffe". Karen was incredible talking about Amy's (uh) journey. (yes, that one) Otherwise, the buzzy-brain is still progressing and back-tracking to when we last saw the [super-spoiler-3000] and excited something silly about next week's "mid season finale" (and there we were thinking they just did it to fit around American weird-scheduling-practice -- it does, but it is so much more).
Dosk fed me the trailer from BBC's website (and yes, it's even more spoiler-licious and you really need to avoid the blue-man in the prequel if you like to maintain an air of mystery on Saturday afternoon and/or you haven't seen last night's twists, boots and Geronimo and Amy letting the cat out of her handbag... Seriously, we are talking Pandorica scale levels of WOAH and *flail* here.
OOoooOOOOooooOOOOooooh
Yes, that's me typing my attempt to sing the theme, walk away slowly and don't turn your back, and, whatever you do, don't blink.
[no Angels were seen during the making of this episode, or at least, not yet]
[nor are any monsters in the bee-house... ]
[what was I just saying?]
p.s. my new fan-theory about Time Lord names has impressed the dosk by being well-thought-out and making sense. The Time Lords are known for modifying their DNA and making home-improvements on their own species (extra heart, survival in a vacuum, regeneration... it's a long list. Not as long as Time Lord names, but that's my point. What if formal Time-Lord names are -effectively- version numbers, noting which mods have been done, where the Time-Lord is from, which genetic aptitudes and built-in special skills come additional to the base model... effectively a very comprehensive description of the Time Lord in question (and yes, I am still in love with Description theory) and they resort to things like Doctor, Master, Rani and Corsair as more helpful and characterful names (dosk wants to quote 11 on "then I'll need a new name, because I won't be the Doctor) and maybe Councillor Goth really owned an apartment painted black with Marilyn Manson posters and angst poetry about skipping to the next regeneration...
