AUGH I LOVE HIM BUT I HATE HIM BUT I LOVE HIMMMMMM

THAT WAS MY THING. So. ANY OTHER SHOW, ANY OTHER WRITER, I would be in TEARS FURIOUS that they'd killed off the Doctor in the first ten minutes, never mind that it's way in the future hypothetically. BUT MOFFAT. I trust Moffat to make it good. I trust Moffat not to want to kill the Doctor anytime soon :P 200 years is a long time, so I'll just trust that Moffat wants us to be happy for a long long time.

Also the Silence seriously make me crap my pants. And for the record, we've seen the ship in that scene with River Song and Rory before, in season 4, in an episode that was also all about making people forget shit/think things that weren't true. SO I FEEL IT MIGHT BE A THEME THIS SEASON. Fair warning :P

So here is the thing: if this were a different show, or, indeed, a different writer, I would have been pissed as fuck about the killing the Doctor thing. But a) yes, it's Moffat, and b) IT'S DOCTOR MOTHERFUCKING WHO. Like, to a certain degree I can't even get worked up about it, because like...this show is a cash cow for the BBC. Like, a major cash cow, especially right now, because the ratings are high and the merch is doing well and it's airing and getting ratings across the world (though, of course, there's still all kinds of downloading going on--guilty--but that's pretty much standard for any show these days). And it's also, I mean, obviously, hugely iconic, etc etc, my point here is--the BBC is not going to cancel Doctor Who, the whole BEAUTY of Doctor Who, to your average cash-hungry exec, is that you can reinvent it whenever you need to, however you want to. You can cancel it and bring it back, riding on the name. So to a certain degree any plotline where he dies has a somewhat foregone conclusion? The show's not likely to ( ... )

I screamed "Moffet, you evil bastard!" so much last night. Yes, yes, I love him dearly and I trust him BUT A 2-PARTER FOR THE FIRST EPISODE?!?! Jfc. I squeaked a lot-- I think I might lose my voice by the end of the this season :D

KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF. FOLKS WHO WENT TO THE NY PREMIER GOT TO SEE BOTH EPS ALREADY. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WITH KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THIS SHIT ENDS. I don't want to know how it ends, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW AND I DON'T MIGHT BE DRIVING ME A LITTLE BIT NUTS.

....ER. NUTS-ER.

YOU MEAN WALNUT?!? BECAUSE IT IS SERIOUSLY KILLING ME, I WANT TO MAKE HER TELL ME EVERYTHING BUT I ALSO DON'T, MOFFAT, WHY YOU GOTTA DO ME LIKE THIS
