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.

  3. anninyn says:

  5. NB2000 says:

  7. knut_knut says:

    face palming at the americans

  8. anninyn says:

    What. I don't- I am so confused. Who- what?

    • who_cares86 says:

      It'll be alright though. Sword of Gryffindor. Great for killing humungeous horcrux snakes as well as Silents.

  9. anninyn says:

    Creepy child's bedroom. Pictures of the little girl.

  10. psycicflower says:

    Amy with a baby? What?

  11. anninyn says:

    OH GOD AMY WITH A BABY HER KID IT'S HER KID

  12. psycicflower says:

    Tell us how to help you!

  13. NB2000 says:

    PICTUR EOF AMY AND GIRL AND SILENTS AND WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?!

  14. psycicflower says:

    Can you imagine watching this late at night in the dark?

  15. anninyn says:

    My beloved husband 'so this whole plotline will be resolved by the Dr going back in time, dosing Amy up on Gin and pushing her down the stairs?'. Remind me why I married him?

    This world is ours? WTF?

  16. psycicflower says:

    FUCK YEAH CANTON!!!

  17. Sophi says:

    "We have no need for weapons."

    "Welcome to America!"

    Lol'ing forever.

  18. jackiep says:

    Wonderful! The Doctor instructs Nixon to tape everything that happens in his office. Only good can come from that…

  19. NB2000 says:

    Yes, tape the Oval Office, that's not going to end badly at all Doctor, well done!

  20. psycicflower says:

    Little girl's out of the suit. Where's Amy?

  21. knut_knut says:

    I can't tell if I should be laughing or face palming at the americans. I promise you we're not all like this!

  22. psycicflower says:

    Oh Rory, Oh Amy. Stop breaking my heart.

  23. NB2000 says:

    ILU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW RORY!

  24. knut_knut says:

    Rory should dress like that all the time, so adorable!

  25. psycicflower says:

    Series 5 reference flashback FTW!!! Now that's long term planning.

  26. NB2000 says:

    WHAT THE…I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE

  27. psycicflower says:

    Does the Doctor just carry Nixon around to smooth the way?

  28. MsPrufrock says:

    "I'm President Nixon"

    Automatic response: "Yes, we know who you are."

  29. psycicflower says:

    The Silence is the reason we went to the moon?

  30. Sophi says:

    Oh, Rory 🙁 "But she can always hear me, Doctor, always." Talking to a one way thing so desperately.

    SILENTS WILL FALL FUCKING HELL

    How does the moon tie into all of this it must do somehow aaaaaahhhh the moon launch is something important BUT HOW ARGH. THERE IT GOES

    SILENTS ARE BEHIND THE MOON LAUNCH MY BRAIN MY BRAIN

  31. knut_knut says:

    AKJSHDFKASJHFLKAJSHFLJAS THE SILENCE SENT US TO THE MOON???

  32. anninyn says:

    Oh, this is so good.

  33. psycicflower says:

    'Whatever a video phone is.' Love you Canton.

    • CuriousApe says:

      Oh, right… I completely forgot that Canton wouldn't know video phones. And then wondered just what exactly he was trying to say with that line. Facepalming at my massive stupidity right now.

      • Kiwi says:

        I noticed! He had a cell phone! AND IT WAS PINK (or looked pink, anyway). I guessed it was Amy's. I liked that he was able to use it and didn't fall into the 'useless with new technology' sterotype that happens a lot with past characters. He didn't understand it exactly but he had enough common sense to follow instructions (I presume)

    • Shay_Guy says:

      It's a phone that does video. Duh.

  34. jackiep says:

    Whatever a videophone is. Don't you just love time travel?

  35. anninyn says:

    BACK OFF. THE SUIT IS MOVING. Oh Amy Oh Amy

  36. psycicflower says:

    AMY YOU BETTER BE TALKING ABOUT RORY!!!

  37. MsPrufrock says:

    Everybody, arm yourselves against the Silence with iphones!

  38. knut_knut says:

    NYOOOOOOOOOOOO AMY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

  39. psycicflower says:

    'I was there.' 'So was I.' Never change Rory, never change.

  40. NB2000 says:

    Oh Rory, <3, you're not having a good ep are you?

  41. psycicflower says:

    Lodger TARDIS!

  42. psycicflower says:

    River/Doctor FTW!! I love them so much.

  43. psycicflower says:

    Only ten minutes left!

  44. psycicflower says:

    ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod

  45. anninyn says:

    You tricky Bastard, Dr.

  46. Sophi says:

    RORY <3

    Amy eeeee what is going on omg the Silents have her

    River badass forever–AND I WANT HER CLOTHES SHE IS SO GORGEOUS.

    The Doctor is amazing 0-0 But…didn't he just sanction genocide?

    • CuriousApe says:

      That's another race to add to the list of newly Doctor-approved genocides! Time Lords, Daleks, Racnoss, Vampires, maybe sort of the Adipose, definitely the Silence – did I miss any?
      Not that I blame him. Stupid super-parasites.

  47. psycicflower says:

    SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT RORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MOFFAT!!!!!!!!

  48. NB2000 says:

    RIVER FTW!

  49. psycicflower says:

    FUCK YEAH RIVER SONG!

  50. anninyn says:

    How fast can you run? Oh Dr ypu are epic. This is what I love about 11. 10 would have destroyed them, 11 makes them engineer their own destruction.

    • always amy says:

      If they leave the planet …. hey they have till we send vids of the moon landing to other races…right?

  51. jackiep says:

    Old Fella? Love a tomb? Oh River, you're wonderful!

  52. psycicflower says:

    Yay Amy/Rory kiss. Love them forever.

  53. knut_knut says:

    Oh River, I love you <3

  54. psycicflower says:

    Well now we know why Nixon was so paranoid.

    • Elexus Calcearius says:

      Might explain why he felt it necessary to spy. He was the only one in the White House who knew about the Silence, and probably thought he had to stay in power.

  55. psycicflower says:

    'They're never going to forget you.' Ahahahahaha

  56. psycicflower says:

    Canton wants to marry a black man. I love your gay agenda Doctor Who.

  57. jackiep says:

    We were right about Canton!

  58. NB2000 says:

    KNEW IT! Good for you Canton.

    WAHEY ELEVEN/RIVER!

  59. psycicflower says:

    Fuck yes, River/Doctor kiss!

  60. psycicflower says:

    • Andrew says:

  75. anninyn says:

    Oh, interesting. A bad case of time paradox of the womb.

    It's the little girl again. And she's Time lord kiddy WHAT THIS MEAN!

    I lost so many of my little yellow numbers commenting today. Worth it.

  76. MsPrufrock says:

    WTF THE LITTLE GIRL IS A TIME LORD?!

  77. EmmylovesWho says:

    What articulate reviewing but

  78. Sophi says:

    DID THAT LITTLE GIRL JUST REGENERATE.

    WHAT.

    WHAT.

    WHAT!!!!!

  79. knut_knut says:

    DID AMY GIVE BIRTH TO A TIME LORD?? WHAT ON EARTH

    • FlameRaven says:

      Maybe it's the TARDIS's baby. XD

      • ladililn says:

        THIS MUST BE IT. SHE'S SOME SORT OF AMALGAMATION OF HERSELF, THE DOCTOR, RORY AND THE TARDIS.

        AND RIVER SONG, JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE.

  80. anninyn says:

    FUCKING BRILLIANT. I'M ON A TIME LORD HIGH.

  81. Amazed says:

    THE DOCTOR HAS AN ACTUAL DAUGHTER THIS TIME?!?!?!

  82. arnenieberding says:

    WHAT THE

    SHE REGENERATED

    THIS IS

    I DON'T EVEN

  83. Sparkie says:

    SO…MANY…QUESTIONS!!!

    I NEED ANSWERS!!!

  84. M-Squared says:

    It seems we have Schrodinger's pregnancy. Simultaneously pregnant and not pregnant 🙂

  85. TropeGirl says:

    WHAT WAS THAT. DID THEY EVEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? NOW I HAVE LIKE 15 MORE AND YOU PROBABLY WON'T ANSWER ANY UNTIL THE END OF THE FALL, WILL YOU MOFFAT. DAMN YOU.

    P.S. THEY KISSED! The most awkward/tragic first/last kiss of all time!

  86. rewritten says:

    WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

    REGENERATING LITTLE HOE

    THE FLUCTUATING PREGNANCY

    GAY CANTON

    I CANNOT COPE

  87. Anseflans says:

    WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!?

  88. Danel says:

    …What is going on. What. What.

    So… the little girl is Amy's Schrodinger's Daughter, and also a timebaby?

    But between the two timeskips, there was nine months between Amy telling the Doctor she was pregnant and the little girl regenerating… so… I don't understand.!!!

  89. silentundercoveratheist says:

    I think it's a possibility that during Amy's pregnancy, the TARDIS affected the baby, like she absorbed Huon particles or something and that made her into a timelord. So the baby could STILL be Rory, you know if Amy wasn't simultaneously not pregnant at the same time. More Rory in glasses! He looked hawt.

    • Kaybee42 says:

      He was so adorably ridiculously adorkable!
      But maybe the TARDIS didn't make the little girl EXACTLY a timelord/lady, but just close enough to be able to regenerate? Similar to Jenny, with two hearts and slightly imperfect regeneration, or something?

    • ldwy says:

      I like this theory because I love Rory and RoryAmy, and also it makes good sense. The time vortex is messing stuff up. But ummmmmmm, still freaky, everything is still freaky if the astronaut girl is Amy's daughter. And also, I feel fairly certain that Moffatt will not let us know any of this until way the hell at the end of the season, and I am watching in real time for the first time ever and I can not deal!!

  90. Sunshowers says:

    Mood whiplash whiplash.
    Beardy Doctor
    Ceiling!Silents
    Cantonnnn~
    Riverrrrrrrrrrr :'C
    TIME LORD BABBY??

    I can't … MY BRAIN

  91. Sparkie says:

    Did anyone else watch Confidential? Someone HAS to make dancing Silence GIF!

  92. Vicki_Louise says:

    OMG ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT IS THIS SHIT? WHAT IS HAPPENING? CONFUSEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
    This is all i have to add right now.

  93. Vicki_Louise says:

    Well hello there iPlayer. Watch Doctor Who again, you say? Why yes, i'd love too.

  94. who_cares86 says:

    SPECULATION TIME:

    I see through you Moffat making us think Amy is the mother of the Doctor's daughter. No I'm putting my money on it being the Doctor and River's daughter. For starters neither the Doctor nor Amy are blonde. River is also she did have the same (pregnancy) stomach ache in the Impossible Astronaut.

  95. Sophi says:

    Can I just say I adore that they used Depeche Mode's song Enjoy the Silence in the Confidential? Depeche Mode are my favourite band and I love that remix of the song and now I am going to forever associate it with that piss-your-pants terrifying god damned house.

  96. Vicki_Louise says:

    I've just drawn marks all over my arm with eyeliner pencil. I am totes awesome.

  97. Minish says:
