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!!!!
Fucking knocking.
"I've got mail!" And he looks like he loves it so much already. Like he's going to cuddle it. ^_^
Sweet! Timelords can change gender!
Outside the universe? OH CRAP. SHE'S THE TARDIS!
YAAAAAY!!
"There'll be a Time Lord coming."
Oh, Doctor, DON'T.
*Cut to Doctor, naturally.*
TARDUS SOUL YOU GET BACK IN YOUR TARDIS BODY RIGHT THIS MOMENT.
Again with the silly voiceover. Sigh.
TARDIS/DOCTOR!!!
OOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO <3
Creepy uncle is creepy.
Can't liveblog. Busy watching.
Idris, you are mentalcakes, but your mouth is a fountain of wisdom.
Trufax.
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.
They really were speaking fast, weren't they?
They only had the one episode to get out the accumulated feelings of the last several hundred years… 🙁
I'm going to have to re-watch this so many times. What a hardship. 😀
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.
I will join you in CAPSLOCKING RANDOMLY. 😀
GOOD. AWESOME. GREAT.
😀 😀 😀
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.
What, how can there be timelords?
Doctor, why are you so awful at recognising 'sinister'?
"House loves you!"
House is creepy.
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:
"You want to be forgiven."
"… don't we all?"
Awww. Doctor.
Wait! Oh noes. D:
WHY IS THE TARDIS GLOWING GREEN.
DOCTOR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Oh sadness. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Poor Doctor.
This is so fucked up. D:
GOD THE TARDIS IS SO FLIRTY. I LOVE IT. THE ONLY THING MISSING IS RIVER MAKING EVERYTHING EVEN HOTTER.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT THREESOME? :O
OT3!
THE UNIVERSE MIGHT END. AND WE WOULD ALL DIE HAPPY. 😉
HELL WITH DOCTOR/TARDIS, WHAT ABOUT RIVER/TARDIS?
After all, River's the one who knows how to fly her juuuuuuuuust right… 😉
OK, not quite able to get over patchwork people. That is UNENDINGLY GRIM.
VWOOORP VWOOOORP ALL BETTER 😀
Why is there a TARDIS in the TARDIS? Neil Gaiman you're da boss.
"Rory, hold my hand"
BRB DYING WITH CUTE AND AWESOME AND ALL THINGS GOOD IN THE WORLD.
RORY PLEASE BE ALWAYS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND JUST. GAH.
"What makes you think I would ever give you back?"
LOL. TARDIS.
WHAT. WHY ARE YOU GOING TO KILL RORY AND AMY. YOU DON'T KILL RORY AND AMY. WHAT.
And they died. Those things died. Arg that was awful man. AWFUL.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. SO FUCKING MUCH.
"I'm a mad man with a box, WITHOUT A BOX!"
XD.
Just started watching, lucky I had it on record. And crazy lady with the Tardis's soul in her.
"The orangy girl". I LOVE YOU TARDIS. I REALLY REALLY DO. NEVER CHANGE.
OH SHIT. D: AMY AND RORY.
OMGs IS HE GOING TO BUILD ANOTHER TARDIS???
Only when we're alone.
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.
Heeeeee, the Doctor calls the TARDIS "sexy" wen they're alone. ^_^
HE IS GOING TO BUILD A TARDIS OMGs YAAAAAY.
So… I'm assuming all this means that River has some serious competition….
This episode is SO AWESOME. BUILDING A NEW TARDIS OMG!!!
OH SEXY. Doctor Y YOU SO AWESOME. But only when they are alone. XD.
"Hell be fine. He's a Time Lord."
Oh Rory, you just don't know how wrong you are.
NEW TARDIS. WITH THE OLD TARDIS. THAT IS NOW A PERSON.
BEST EPISODE Y/Y?
MORE OF THE TARDIS! <3
Well, the physical TARDIS.
Oh and she calls the other TARDIS "her sisters" D: D:
THE DOCTOR NEVER READS THE INSTRUCTIONS. LOL. PLEASE NEVER DO READ THEM DOCTOR. It makes me feel better about ME never doing so. 😀
"And you talk and run around and… bring home strays!"
LOL Amy and Rory are strays.
Really awesome strays.
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.
OOOOOOOOO… corridors in the TARDIS!
That always happens!
"I wanted to see the universe, so I stolea Time Lord and ran away. You were the only one mad enough."
OMGs, can we have a talking TARDIS forever now???
WTAF?
TARDIS I LOVE YOU.
"I took you when you needed to be"
YES YOU DID GIRL TELL HIM. AND TELL HIM TO OPEN THE DOOR THE RIGHT WAY. (Though I never really noticed the difference. Still you are awesome keep doing what you're doing).
WHAT RORY AND AMY.
WHY RORY NOOOOOO DON'T LOSE EACH OTHER.
O.O Rory… oh Rory… oh gods, Rory… D: D: D: D:
TARDIS STOLE A TIME LORD. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. SHE WANTED TO SEE THE UNIVERSE AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE MAD ENOUGH.
Can I ship it more? I do not think so.
WHY RORY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

That TARDIS is a little showier than the other one and…

Rory is the pretty one.
TARDIS I LOVE YOU. AND I AGREE WITH YOU.
"Hello Pretty!" "THE PRETTY ONE?!?!"
SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS. SO MUCH LOVE.
It's as good as a bottle of Win, yes?
As good as waterfalls of win!
kas;lfkdasf Ood! D:
YEUUURGH OOD NOODLES D:
(Sorry, racist…)
Oh my god, this episode is TOO MUCH TOO MUCH, I EXCITE.!!!!
Why do they always make Ood scary. I LIKE THE OOD. I WOULD LIKE TO HUG THEM. WHY DO YOU RUIN THEM FOR ME.
"The one I call you."
"Sexy."
"Only when we're alone."
"We are alone."
::SNORTS:: So, the TARDIS' name is officially "You Sexy Thing." Awesome. XD
"Did you wished REALLY hard?" LOL YES HE DID.
"He calls me Sexy" "Oh, shut up!"
XD
TEN'S TARDIS!
O.O!!! It's the old TARDIS control room!!! HELLO!
I hadn't realized how much I missed it. I honestly expected Ten to walk in any moment, or Donna to come make everything better.
Basically: MY HEART
I want Donna and Eleven to meet so badly. Can you imagine the combined awesome? But alas. It would melt Donna's brain. D:
lol literally.
Only if he tells her.
*Dreaming*
Woah, since when has the TARDIS had corridors?
Oh, quite some time now. This is their first appearance since the Classic Series, though. 😉
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.
GOOD BYE TEN'S TARDIS. I'VE MISSED YOU. 🙁 🙁 🙁
"Fear me, I killed all of them" BAMF FOREVER.
The use of family names is so epically creepy. Like a creepy serial killer cannibal family.
I hear banjos… >_>
I bet they're related to Son of Mine and his flock.
Hoshit, Rory's gotten old and crazy.
I love the clapping.
Crying Doctor. CRYING DOCTOR. NOOOOOO WHY DO YOU MUST BREAK MY HEART LIKE THAT.
;______________________;
;_______;
Okay. That's it. The TARDIS KICKS ASS.
D:
SADFACE FOREVER.
"The only water in the forest is the river"
WUT. NO MORE MYSTERIES PLS. I CAN'T TAKE THEM. O.o
She's archived them? Oh TARDIS, you're growing on me. Still don't ship you and the Doctor though.
Hoshit, another OOD. I don't like the OOD.
LOL EVEN AMY KNOWS DOCTOR/TARDIS IS OTP.
Oooh, Ten's control room. Hello.
And also: BUNK BEDS ARE COOL. I LOVE YOU DOCTOR.
They're beds. WITH LADDERS.
YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT. XD.
BUNK BEDS. Loling forever.
Oh Doctor. You are so adorably clueless about why Amy and Rory do not want bunk beds. XD
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).
Amy and Rory have bunk beds, huh?
So…ah…who's on top?
;P
Bless you. But come on, it's Amy.
Amy. She'd want the top bunk, and Rory would let her have it.
It's always Amy. Unless she decides otherwise.
You even need to ask?
My Face is permanently 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
AWESOMENESS ALL AROUND!
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.
"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.
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.
I JUST HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW!
The Tardis introduced herself as SEXY!
It was just, just, perfect.
"No. I just wanted to say 'Hello. Hello Doctor. It's so very very nice to meet you.' "
All the tears.
NGL I started singing "Hello" to myself…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_ILDFp5DGA
"i love you."
CRYING SO HARD AT THAT.
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?
I've seen an episode of Five's run where we saw at least one companion's room, but that was it.
We see a little bit past the control room in First's time.
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…
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.
