Cool guys don't look at explosions
Previous episode: The Wedding of River Song.
The Doctor, in space, diving after a space suit that he desperately needs, ’cause he’s about to crash into Earth—for which he has to pass into the planet’s atmosphere first, though. Getting dressed in a hurry, then. (How exactly is he breathing…?) Oh, never mind: it’s Christmas! Continue reading
Here there be spoilers!
Weird titles, you mean? Think about how Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who… Sherlock returns!
Quoting the BBC News article:
“The final days of the Ponds are coming,” Moffat said.
“I’m not telling you when or how, but that story is going to come to a heartbreaking end.”
He said the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, was going to meet “a new friend”. It is believed that role has not yet been cast.
Oh, dear. I will be sad, and excited at the same time, which really is the worst and yet best feeling that Doctor Who can give you. I will be sad to see Amy and Rory go—I’m just hoping that the Moff means heartbreaking in a good, in a happy way, because otherwise I shall be forced to pick up the pitchfork and chase him through Cardiff in his TARDIS pyjamas. Still, I’m excited that the Doctor will have new company next series, just because Matt Smith’s acting sizzles, and Eleven’s personality has so much more to offer; it will be an absolute treat seeing that bounce off someone else. Arthur Darvill and Karen Gillan leave enormous shoes to be filled they have been at the top of their game for two years straight; and I’m sure that, with Steven Moffat, Sue Vertue, and Piers Wenger as casting geniuses, the actor or actress (I’m actually rooting for a guy to get the job, not because I’m a slash fangirl, that’s just a bonus, but because the pretty earth girl routine might be getting old; besides: Donna was his best mate, why not have a matey best mate around?) who is destined to do that will be tremendous. Whoever they are, I’m loving them already. Bring it on, Series 7!

The Doctor thinks he’s going to die, because he’s blowing up a spaceship while he’s still on it, with no chance of escape. Let me rephrase that: with no apparent chance of escape. He’s going to get out of it, it’s a prequel, dammit—but how? A consequence of River using up her regeneration cycle to save him in Let’s Kill Hitler, making him explosion-proof, justifying the line RTD (who, by the way, our hearts and wishes go out to in the light of his boyfriend’s illness) put in in The Sarah Jane Adventures: the Doctor stating that, oh, Time Lords can live forever? Or perhaps the TARDIS saves him, stubborn, sexy girl that she is. And, all questions aside, how does this connect to the Christmas Special itself, being set in England in 1941? Continue reading
