Doctor Who 6x02 Day of the Moon
GUYS GUYS I THINK I'VE REALISED SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN DAY OF THE MOON.
ARTHUR DARVILL IS TOTALLY SMOKIN' IN THAT SUIT AND THOSE NERD GLASSES.
As for the rest of what's going on, of course, I have no fucking clue. Here are a couple random bullet points anyway.
ARTHUR DARVILL IS TOTALLY SMOKIN' IN THAT SUIT AND THOSE NERD GLASSES.
As for the rest of what's going on, of course, I have no fucking clue. Here are a couple random bullet points anyway.
- CANTON EVERETT DELAWARE III! -- I just want to draw little hearts everywhere around him because he was wonderful and I so wish we could have him back again sometime.
- HOW IS TIMEBABBY FORMED?!? -- No, really, seriously. We're clearly meant to believe it's Amy's, but I think that everyone freaking out that this means that Doctor/Amy is happening can calm down, we're told that the possibility of the baby having a Time Head is due to Amy being in the TARDIS. I like the idea that it's the TARDIS actively messing with the foetus's DNA, like, "oh my, this baby's DNA has only got a double helix! Good thing I can add in the Rassilon Imprimatur!" So, the time babby's parents are Amy, Rory, and the TARDIS.
- Is the time babby River? -- If both this and the above are true, I've gotta admit, the idea of the Doctor mackin' on Amy and Rory's kid weirds me out. Although if it means River is somehow part TARDIS, I am somehow more okay with it. This is because Doctor/TARDIS is still the truest OTP of all OTPs. (But, like, wouldn't Silence in the Library have ended up differently if River knew she could regenerate?)
- The Silence -- I know genociding species is, like, the one of the Doctor's pastimes these days, but I don't think they would have been genocided. Okay, the ones that are unlucky enough to be in eyesight of humans when the order first goes out are toast, but it was really just building in a self-defense mechanism for the humans, wasn't it? The rest of the Silence just have to stay away from humans and they'll be fine, right? Or am I just a Doctor-apologist? Anyway, it's not like we've seen the last of them.
- Silence Will Fall is kind of a rubbish catchphrase -- I saw someone saying this on tumblr, pointing out that having a catchphrase about your own downfall is kind of pointless, isn't it? Unless, by taking down the Silence, the Doctor has now set something even worse into motion. I like the idea that the Silence were there on Earth to keep the humans collectively forgetting something. And I like the idea that what the humans were supposed to forget? Was the little girl. (Why do they need to keep her in a space suit? Whyyyyyyyyyy?)
- "The rest of the time, they sleep in my mind" -- Anyone else thinking of Tomb when Rory described remembering/not remembering being a Roman for 2000 years?
- WHAT IS UP WITH THE LADY WITH THE EYEPATCH.
- Seriously, that was the fucking freakiest thing I think I've ever seen on Doctor Who.
- To sum up:
