Doctor Who Picspam: Watcher of the Skies

 Before you begin, this picspam comes with a soundtrack, which you should click "play" on now and enjoy as you read further. (Well, click the cut first so it doesn't stop playing when you open the rest of the post. But then come back here!)

So, ever get in one of those moods? Where your brain makes an incredibly tenuous connection and just won't let it go, despite it not making that much logical sense? Let me take you on a tour of my grey matter...

Once upon a time in the 1970's, there was a prog rock band called Genesis. It was fronted by Peter Gabriel being even more earnest and arty-farty than he is now, if you can believe that. They had some pretty great songs (the vast majority of them about aliens) and one of those great songs was called "Watcher in the Skies."  It's starts with this very long and dramatic Mellotron solo that you are enjoying now, and then it's got some lyrics... about aliens. Of course.

And you know who else is an alien? Oh, just some 900 year-old Gallifreyan who goes by the name of the Doctor, of course!

So clearly these two things belong together... for some reason.

Add a dash of my ongoing quest to learn how to use Photoshop, with which I justify spending hours farting around with graphics (IT'S TOTALLY A JOB SKILL YOU GUYS!).

Add it all together and you get...
