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.

    • vaporeon13204 says:

      Probably just got another sonic from Sexy later. I've lost count of how many new ones she'd had to make him. XD

    • Aimee says:

      Well if the ganger was able to replicate him down to the details of his jacket…

      • Kaybee42 says:

        but the ganger of "man whose name I've forgotten but had the kid" didn't replicate the wedding ring? Maybe it can't do metal? or unique things? (except the sonic screwdriver isn't unique…he's had loads…)

  50. Claire says:

  51. Claire says:
