new new who drinking game!

All right, starwhales! Things are starting to pick up in the Whoniverse, as you may have noticed. Series 6 begins on April 23rd. Torchwood: Miracle Day begins on July 8 and in the noble Whoniverse tradition has a hilariously photoshopped poster. We're due for a new series 6 trailer this weekend I think, and I know something called "the prequel" to The Impossible Astronaut airs tomorrow at 4 and there is a teaser for it on the BBC Doctor Who website. (I cannot, however, explain the logic of a teaser for a prequel for a series premiere.)

Since this will be our second full season with Steven Moffat as showrunner, I think it's safe to say we can pick up on some of his favourite quotes, tropes, themes, etc. And you know what that means: DRINKING GAME! All in good fun, obvs. In the spirit of the RTD-Who Drinking Game we brought you earlier, I give you:

The New New Who Drinking Game!

Take a drink when:
  • Something is described as "wibbly", "wobbly" or "timey-wimey"
  • There is a time loop
    • Someone explains that they only knew how/when to do something because they remembered seeing themselves do it first (2 drinks)
  • The Doctor delivers a dramatic speech about how badass he is
    • ...and it works (2 drinks)
    • ...and it doesn't work (3 drinks)
  • Eleven describes a clothing item as "cool"
  • Eleven twirls
  • "Geronimo!"
  • "Come along, Pond(s)!"
  • Eleven stands between the Ponds with one arm around Rory's shoulders and his other arm around Amy's shoulders
  • Amy flirts with someone who isn't her husband
  • Rory wears flannel
    • ...and Amy wears matching flannel (2 drinks)
  • River says "Spoilers!"
    • River references and/or shows off her diary (2 drinks)
  • "Hello, sweetie."
  • Eleven and River act like a married couple
    • ...while simultaneously keeping the true nature of their relationship incredibly ambiguous (2 drinks)
  • Eleven wears a new hat
    • ...River shoots off his new hat (2 drinks)
  • A character introduced as a child becomes a hot young adult
    • ...and promptly tries to get it onnn, bow chicka bow wow (2 drinks)
  • Ocean life! In SPACE!
  • The villain isn't truly evil, they're just acting according to their nature
  • When the episode ends, some long-buried childhood fear has resurfaced to haunt your nightmares forever

Of course, there are some old faithfuls regardless of showrunner:
  • Companion in danger!
  • It's the Daleks!
  • Suddenly, the entire world/universe/multiverse is at stake!

    And as always, drink the whole bottle if:
    • The episode ends and you have no idea what actually just happened but you thoroughly enjoyed it anyway


    Did I miss anything? Anyone want to draft up a Torchwood equivalent?

discussion, series 6, torchwood, articles and information, steven moffat, series 5, just for fun
