Mark Watches ‘Doctor Who’ Liveblog: The Doctor’s Wife

A-ha! I remembered this time AND WordPress SHALL NOT EAT THIS POST. It’s time for us to come together ’round the world to liveblog the sixth series of Doctor Who. This fourth episode, written by the fabulous Neil Gaiman, is titled “The Doctor’s Wife,” which makes me want to pee my pants and punch myself in the face at the exact same time. LET’S DO THIS.

omg omg omg omg WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR SO LONG!

I won’t use an image from the show, for those who don’t want to be spoiled.

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.

SEE ALL OF YOU TOMORROW!!!!

  12. lucysayshullo says:

    Idris, you are mentalcakes, but your mouth is a fountain of wisdom.

  13. ToastofDoom says:

    This episode was pure magic.
    Now I need to go watch it again so I can catch all the sharp and witty dialogue I know I missed the first time around.

  14. __Jen__ says:

    I'm going to have to re-watch this so many times. What a hardship. 😀

  15. andreah1234 says:

    OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?1

    Also, Doctor/TARDIS FTMFW!!!

    And I will try and not to only capslock randomly all over like the last liveblog. TRY. :D.

  16. celestineangel1 says:

    I have the distinct feeling that all the Doctor/TARDIS shippers are about to get a treat… or run screaming for the hills. One of the two.

  17. Meadow says:

    What, how can there be timelords?

  18. lucysayshullo says:

    Doctor, why are you so awful at recognising 'sinister'?

  19. celestineangel1 says:

    "House loves you!"

    House is creepy.

  20. andreah1234 says:

    Ohhh Doctor, we all want to be forgiven. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

    WHAT. NO. DON'T SEND AMY TO THE TARDIS. AND NO RORY DON'T GO AFTER HER. SOMETHING BAD MIGHT HAPPEN.

    And, Oh- never mind you never listen. D: D: D: D: D:

  21. celestineangel1 says:

    "You want to be forgiven."

    "… don't we all?"

    Awww. Doctor.

  22. __Jen__ says:

    Wait! Oh noes. D:

  23. celestineangel1 says:

    WHY IS THE TARDIS GLOWING GREEN.

    DOCTOR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

  24. __Jen__ says:

    Oh sadness. 🙁 🙁 🙁

    Poor Doctor.

  25. __Jen__ says:

    This is so fucked up. D:

  26. andreah1234 says:

    GOD THE TARDIS IS SO FLIRTY. I LOVE IT. THE ONLY THING MISSING IS RIVER MAKING EVERYTHING EVEN HOTTER.

  27. lucysayshullo says:

    OK, not quite able to get over patchwork people. That is UNENDINGLY GRIM.

    VWOOORP VWOOOORP ALL BETTER 😀

  28. Meadow says:

    Why is there a TARDIS in the TARDIS? Neil Gaiman you're da boss.

  29. andreah1234 says:

    "Rory, hold my hand"

    LOL. TARDIS.

  31. andreah1234 says:

    OH SHIT. D: AMY AND RORY.

  37. celestineangel1 says:

    OMGs IS HE GOING TO BUILD ANOTHER TARDIS???

  38. __Jen__ says:

  39. andreah1234 says:

    RORY WHAT ARE YOU DOING. TELLING SOMEONE THAT YOU MIGHT BE GOOD OF KEEPING YOURSELF ALIVE.

    Though I wil always love him with the fire of a million suns, even when he's being a bit dumb.

  40. celestineangel1 says:

    Heeeeee, the Doctor calls the TARDIS "sexy" wen they're alone. ^_^

  41. celestineangel1 says:

    HE IS GOING TO BUILD A TARDIS OMGs YAAAAAY.

    "And you talk and run around and… bring home strays!"

    LOL Amy and Rory are strays.

    • andreah1234 says:

      Really awesome strays.

    • VicarPants says:

      Yeah, only they got let in to the TARDIS to play and be fed and cuddled.

      The rest of us mangy lot are scratching forlornly at the TARDIS door and meowing/whining hungrily.

  50. celestineangel1 says:

    OOOOOOOOO… corridors in the TARDIS!

  51. __Jen__ says:

  52. celestineangel1 says:

    "I wanted to see the universe, so I stolea Time Lord and ran away. You were the only one mad enough."

  53. __Jen__ says:

    O.O!!! It's the old TARDIS control room!!! HELLO!

  74. icingflarewhite says:

    Woah, since when has the TARDIS had corridors?

    • Radagast says:

      Oh, quite some time now. This is their first appearance since the Classic Series, though. 😉

      • icingflarewhite says:

        I see. I've never watched the Classis Series. This would be the only season of NuWho I've watched all the way through as well, despite seeing bits and pieces to other series.

  75. andreah1234 says:

    GOOD BYE TEN'S TARDIS. I'VE MISSED YOU. 🙁 🙁 🙁

  76. andreah1234 says:

    "Fear me, I killed all of them" BAMF FOREVER.

  77. __Jen__ says:

    The use of family names is so epically creepy. Like a creepy serial killer cannibal family.

  78. icingflarewhite says:

    Hoshit, Rory's gotten old and crazy.

  79. __Jen__ says:

    I love the clapping.

  80. andreah1234 says:

    Crying Doctor. CRYING DOCTOR. NOOOOOO WHY DO YOU MUST BREAK MY HEART LIKE THAT.

  82. celestineangel1 says:

    Okay. That's it. The TARDIS KICKS ASS.

  83. celestineangel1 says:

    D:

    SADFACE FOREVER.

  84. andreah1234 says:

    "The only water in the forest is the river"

    WUT. NO MORE MYSTERIES PLS. I CAN'T TAKE THEM. O.o

  85. icingflarewhite says:

    She's archived them? Oh TARDIS, you're growing on me. Still don't ship you and the Doctor though.

  86. icingflarewhite says:

    Hoshit, another OOD. I don't like the OOD.

  87. andreah1234 says:

    LOL EVEN AMY KNOWS DOCTOR/TARDIS IS OTP.

  88. icingflarewhite says:

    Oooh, Ten's control room. Hello.

  89. andreah1234 says:

    And also: BUNK BEDS ARE COOL. I LOVE YOU DOCTOR.

  90. __Jen__ says:

    BUNK BEDS. Loling forever.

  91. celestineangel1 says:

    Oh Doctor. You are so adorably clueless about why Amy and Rory do not want bunk beds. XD

  92. andreah1234 says:

    Does the Doctor have a room? Huh, good question.

    And there they go. The boy and his box. As it will always be. :') . (Oh wait, no it won't BECAUSE HE FREAKING DIES AND THEY CAN'T FUCKING SAVE HIM. Right).

  93. enigmaticagentscully says:

    Amy and Rory have bunk beds, huh?
    So…ah…who's on top?

    ;P

  94. always amy says:

    My Face is permanently 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
    AWESOMENESS ALL AROUND!

  95. celestineangel1 says:

    Okay. I think… I think I can safely say that was the awesomest thing I've ever seen. That even manages to compete with the series opener.

    It… might be better than the series opener.

    Neil Gaiman, I bow before you. NOT WORTHY. We were never prepared.

  96. icingflarewhite says:

    "Fear me, I've killed hundreds of Time Lords."
    "Fear me, I've killed thme all."

    Yes, trailer quote. Poor TARDIS though, getting sucked into the control panel.

  97. andreah1234 says:

    Annnnnnnd it's over.

    Now THAT'S a good episode. THAT'S how it's done. (Not that they have been bad episodes in Eleven's run, but still it was an amazingly solid episode). I really hope Neil Gaiman comes back. He really made everything even more awesome.

  98. exbestfriend says:

    I JUST HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW!

    The Tardis introduced herself as SEXY!

    It was just, just, perfect.

  99. icingflarewhite says:

    "No. I just wanted to say 'Hello. Hello Doctor. It's so very very nice to meet you.' "

    All the tears.

  100. Kaitlyn says:

    Oh. My. God.
    That episode. THAT EPISODE. Guys.
    It was more amazing than I thought even Doctor Who knew how to be. At first it was weird and I thought this might actually be an episode I wouldn't like, or that just wouldn't be up to par with the fantastic episodes that have been coming out this season. But dear Lord, was I wrong.
    I know this probably won't be news any more, but guys. THAT WAS THE TARDIS. AND SHE BELIEVES HER NAME IS 'SEXY.' AND SHE MADE ME CRY LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS.

    Also, quick question: I haven't seen much of the classic series, so does anyone know if this is the first time we get to see the TARDIS beyond the control room?

    • kaleidoscoptics says:

      I've seen an episode of Five's run where we saw at least one companion's room, but that was it.

    • Hotaru_hime says:

      We see a little bit past the control room in First's time.

    • Evil Midnight Lurker says:

      I think it was in "The Invasion of Time" that Tom Baker led a group of Sontarans on a chase through the TARDIS's vast and maze-like interior…

    • Teresa says:

      What others have said, plus a few more I can remember:

      Four and Sarah Jane go to a secondary console room.

      We see Romana's bedroom.

      In Five's post-regeneration confusion, he wanders the corridors for a bit, and he goes to the "Zero Room" to help with his recovery.
