I really enjoy the atmosphere around liveblogs and I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing one for an episode of Doctor Who. The problem is that I tend to watch episodes on weeknights after work, and that’s a bad time for…well, THE REST OF THE WORLD. That’s why liveblogs these days are now on the weekends.
So I’m aware that a lot of you won’t be able to participate in this tonight and I’m sorry. We will do a larger Doctor Who liveblog in the future, but I know how special this episode is to a lot of fans, so I think it’ll be fun if we can all smash our keyboards for 45 minutes at the same time.
Tonight’s liveblog of “Blink” will start at 8:00pm PST. That’s 11:00pm on the east coast and FOUR AM IN LONDON. Jesus, I am sorry I swear.
So, we all start at 8:00pm PST exactly and treat the comments as our liveblogging space. Reply to other people, make your own comments about the episode, and make sure the lights aren’t off because I’ve heard this episode is TERRIFYING. Also, there are some of us who know NOTHING about this episode, so please don’t spoil anything!
Sounds good? Then off we go!
EDIT: Because it wasn’t clear enough, there will be a normal review of “Blink” posted tomorrow.
Why does nobody ever just go to the police?

Dear Hot DI,
Hi. You are welcome here always.

LOL The windows are the wrong size!
Police box! Just randomly in a parking garage! "The windows are the wrong size", who knew?
Oh, Billy, you so fine.
Oh, hello, Shipton, you gorgeous man.
HELLO TARDIS.
I approve of Billy. He is ultimately quite a good guy.
"What's a police box?" AHAHHAHAHA
Life is short and you are hot.

Totally. "Life is short, and you are hot" — AND that accent — come on, no one can resist that.

'Because life is short and you are hot. Drink?'
Love that part.
"Because life is short and you are hot!" BEST LINE EVER
Lamest pick up line ever <3
Best pickup line ever.
Because life is short, and you are hot.
Best pickup line EVER
Apparently, the "windows are the wrong size" thing is an in-joke about the online community, because people were complaining about the inaccuracy of the TARDIS
I absolutely love the nod to the fact that the TARDIS is inaccurately designed. 😆
Life is short and you are hot
Life is short and you are hot. Drink?
AAAAH THE ANGELS AAAAHHH FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF SHIT IS GETTING CREEPY
Big blue box, looks familiar, doesn't it?
"Life is short and you are hot"

Also, love the writers for mentioning the Tardis's accuracy problems.
"Life is short and you are hot."
Hahaha best pickup line ever!
"SALLY SHIPTON – SPARROW!" – Moffat is so good with dialogue, and I love this moment
Sally Shipton-SPARROW!!! DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!!
BECAUSE LIFE IS SHORT AND YOU ARE HOT that is the best pickup line ever. SALLY SHIPTON
