Mark Watches ‘Doctor Who’ Liveblog: Day of the Moon

Somehow, the wait from the premiere of series six until episode two has seemed like an eternity. But after everything that happened in “The Impossible Astronaut,” I think the whole Internet is pretty much ready for the second half of the two-part opener. Join us, Doctor Who fans, in watching “Day of the Moon.”

MY GOD THIS WEEK HAS BEEN UNBEARABLE

WHO IS IN THAT SUIT

WHAT THE HELL ARE THE SILENCE

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO WRITE THEMSELVES OUT OF THE DOCTOR’S DEATH

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

Ok. Anyway. Liveblog time!!

This liveblog starts relative to you. So if it is airing on your television, start liveblogging away in the comments. Same for if you happen to be watching it online by less-than-legal means. (Though I would just time it with another time zone so you can comment with other people!) We already do this with Fringe and it works rather nicely. To avoid seeing spoilery comments regarding the episode from past livebloggers, I merely stay on the first page of comments and comment away, only going back after it’s over in order to comment on what other people said.

Sound fine? Just make sure not to post spoilers before this episode airs.

I am quite excited. I’m sure y’all are, too. As usual, the review for “Day of the Moon” will go up on Monday, May 1st.

    Yayy I can't wait! Can't contain excitement, AHHHHHHH

    At what time does Doctor Who air in America? I don't want to liveblog alone again. 🙁

  2. Violets are Blue says:

    THIS IS A CRIME, THEY DON'T HAVE BBCA IN MY DORM ROOM.

    iTunes, you may be my only help this time around.

    • KVogue says:

      I have the same issue and I share your pain!

      Seriously, we get four different ESPNs but no BBCA. What the heck is that all about?

      • Violets are Blue says:

        If I pay an undetermined amount of money, I could get BBCA. But I'm only here for 2 more weeks. IS DOCTOR WHO WORTH THIS?

        Possibly.

      • t09yavorski says:

        Same plus OWN. What is this world coming to.

        You would think colleges would pick educational channels (to let us watch Doctor Who 😛 ).

        [Edit: OWN might be educational but so far all i have caught is movies and talks shows.]

  3. anninyn says:

    Will join you 6PM GMT tomorrow.

  4. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    PARTY.

  5. Danel says:

    Isn't Monday May 2nd?

  6. psycicflower says:

    via the ever wonderful E.L.S.O.S. and the spoiler blog who found it via Doctor Who TV it looks like the Doctor attended some famous wedding today.

  7. elusivebreath says:

    I never get to watch the episodes until Monday so I have all the sads 🙁

  8. potlid007 says:

    OMG Astronaut is totally the Doctor. Calling it now.

  9. buriedbooks says:

    Of all the times to be stuck in a hotel room with crappy internet, it had to be while that episode was airing, wasn't it? Sadfais forever.

  10. doesntsparkle says:

    The Dalek is plotting revenge.

  11. jackiep says:

    CONSUMATE! CONSUMATE!

  12. jackiep says:

    So any way, when's the Time Warrior review going up?

  13. CuriousApe says:

    THIS IS AMAZING. 😀 I imagine a garden party going on just off-picture, with a huge TV screen and lots of food and stuff. And the guests are being cartered by the Dalek. "WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA?"

  14. Goldensage says:

    Will probably post a bit about it after I watch. 9pm tomorrow night – I'm having some friends over.

    I AM SO EXCITE. And it'll be my one-year anniversary of properly discovering Doctor Who. 😀

  15. Sparkie says:

    Mark did you ever see the Comic Relief mini episodes? I NEED opinions on them! (from you :P)

    OMG I cannot wait, and BBC is showing a ridiculous amount of trailers for it too-less than 24 hours to go though! 😀

  16. WingedFlight says:

    My sister's confirmation conflicts with Doctor Who tomorrow! … She'll forgive me eventually, right?

    … if only, if only. Guess I'll be missing the liveblog again, although I'll be watching DW as soon as I possibly can!

  17. Jessica says:

    CAN'T. WAIT.

  18. Minish says:

    Here's a summary of basically all the connections I can make based off the first episode:

    …WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??????????????

  19. psycicflower says:

  20. mojojojo says:

  22. Andrew says:

    My friend is in the process of building a Dalek (I have the best friends) and I promise to get a picture with it when it's finished! I doubt it will be as awesome as this one, though…

  23. NB2000 says:

  70. anninyn says:

    • ldwy says:

      we are so screwed we will never sleep again and slowly die of exhaustion.

      • Sophi says:

        I had this terrifying moment at about 2am when I was convinced there was a Silent over my shoulder, like I swear I could hear breathing BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN AROUND BECAUSE DEAR GOD and I sleep in pitch blackness and I had to make it go away by imagining a unicorn 🙁

        • ldwy says:

          I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THIS. I was freaked after watching, and didn't want to go to bed, so I watched tv and dozed on the couch until I'd calmed down enough to make the walk to my room.

  76. psycicflower says:

    Everyone was right about implanting ideas!

  77. dreadpirateevvie says:

    oh man the doctor is awesome.

  78. NB2000 says:

    Well this place isn't totally creepy and run by a very suspicious-acting bloke at all.

  79. psycicflower says:

    Yes this is a totally nice and safe orphanage. Nothing potentially bad happening here at all.

  80. jackiep says:

    Nice happy Childrens' Home! Good to see that the little tykes are being given the best possible start in life!

  81. anninyn says:

    Creepy orphanage lost in time with painting on the wall. Oh Moffat, you are stealing fom nightmares.

  82. psycicflower says:

    Does that mean the orphanage man's lost years because of the Silence erasing themselves from his memory?

    • CuriousApe says:

      That's what I thought… So creepy! It's like he's not even living anymore; whatever he does, he pretty much forgets immediately afterwards because the Silence edit themselves out. And then, whenever he sees them, he becomes this panicked guy who remembers everything but is trapped forever because he will never, ever get out of that house. So horrible.

      Wonder if he watched the moon landing…

  83. NB2000 says:

    oooooh scenery porn

    FUUUU DOOOR CLOSING ITSELF!

  84. jackiep says:
