Mark Watches ‘Doctor Who’ Liveblog: The Almost People

Hello, Watchers! This week (and next week, for some folks in the US), we tackle part two of this Doctor Who story! Get your keyboards ready for smashing during yet another liveblog!

OK I DON’T CARE I REFUSE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

god damn it matt smith how are you so perfect.

SO. “The Almost People.” The BBC America has decided not to show this episode because apparently no one watches TV on Memorial Day weekend? Apparently they overestimate how involved I am with this holiday? Whatever, I’ll be at SpectralBovine’s house ILLEGALLY BREAKING LAWS OF SUCH A NATURE. You are welcome to join in this week or, if you must wait until next week, you can join in then!

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.

      Are you looking for livestream as it airs in the UK or where to watch after the episode airs?

    45 minutes to go 😀

    While we wait, a little story. A couple of days ago, I was on a bus with my son. He was asking me to be various things, a tiger, an elephant, etc. Then he started saying "Be a house, Mummy! Be a HOUSE!" more and more insistently, while I floundered around thinking WTF, how can I be a house? So I asked him, "How can I be a house? What does a house do?" and he looked at me like I was asking the most inane question and said "House go like *vworp vworp*. Dat's what it does!"

    …I completely forgot the fact that he loves the doctor's "house" even more than he loves the doctor himself :/

    When Doctor Who is outlawed, only outlaws will watch Doctor Who.

  40. chichichimaera says:

  69. Openattheclose says:

  78. chichichimaera says:

    Eleven.5 is not impressed by you Pond.

  79. anninyn says:

    Ganger Dr upset. Maybe it's real Dr.

    • CuriousApe says:

      The accuracy of your predictions scares me. If I remember previous comments correctly, you've got, like, a 90% correct rate or something!
      This is a good thing, btw.

      • anninyn says:

        I've been watching Sci-Fi shows for a long time. For a very long time. There gets to be a point where you just know what's coming…

    DOOR LADY OHSHIT! FINALLY she tells someone!

    "Nothing to worry about" So it's something awful that we need to fear.

  85. anninyn says:

    Eyepatch woman acknoweldged.

  86. psycicflower says:

    Time memory?

  87. Claire says:
