Oh. Oh, just wait for the pure joy that is going to be tonight’s episode of Doctor Who. I CANNOT WAIT. Let us all celebrate the livebloggy goodness of this show together!
Like Fringe last night, a wedding is preventing me from actually watching this particular episode of Doctor Who live, but I’ll be there in spirit with y’all. Do this episode right, will you?
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.
oh god i cannot wait to watch this OH GOD OH GOD
o___o
Doctor with a baby. I cannot handle the cute.
I love how the Doctor insist on calling him Stormegeddon rather than whatever his real name is.
Normal Human Life? Pshaw doctor. That kid's going to be in an alien hotbed.
Sinister cyber thing is sinister. XD
I want the Doctor to babysit my kids. /:
…I want a thingy that does that with the stars. That looks prettyy with all the galaxies, and oh snap it's awake.
:< Doctor….
Oh snap, that thing can move.
Craigggggg
EEK TEETH
Poor George is doomed D:
That was some serious business.
GO GET THE BABY NOW.
I want remote control Daleks…
…. I don't trust the Doctor being by himself. :<
LOL he looks so terrified XD
Oh, that en't good.
O_O!!!!
NOT CRAIG!
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIG~!!!!!
….Longcoat Doc. Hmm. Silence will fall, or Silents will fall. That is the question.
Offtopic: So I'm guessing since there's only one episode left after this that the question of who killed the Doctor won't be found out until next week?
Careful what you wish for
TOMORROW?!?!
CRAP ON A CRACKER.
DDDDD=
Bitey. Aww.
Brother: The Store is the spaceship.
Me: aww, two years in a row?
I don't like this hole or ship.
That really should have been more obvious in hindsight.
Doctor, you so silly. XD
…OH SO OBLIVIOUS YOU TWO.
I love how the Doctor keeps shhing people. XD
I wonder if that's George.
BITEY
Bitey and Stormaggedon for series 7 companions, yes?
YES
I LOVE THIS FUCKING EPISODE
Blue envelopes. Stetson. ;____;
I'm confused…if the Doctor is supposed to die tomorrow, doesn't that either mean that:
a) it's been like hundreds of years for him since he said goodbye to Amy and Rory last episode
b) he lied back in ep 1 of this half of the season when he said he was like a 1000 and something
Also, what does something like "tomorrow" mean for a man who travels through time??
The former.
That makes the perfume scene 1000x sadder 🙁
Well, in 'The Impossible Astronaut' when the Doctor shows up in the Stetson, he does claim to be 1108 years old, (and Amy and Rory are like 'lolwut you were 900 two months ago.')
Craig, please be his friend and cheer him up and make him stop beating himself up, it's so sad to watch 🙁 give him the hugs I can't
*all the crais forever* ;__;
Craig. Bless you.
MIRRORS AGAIN
AND HE'S CLIMBING DOWN
MAKE THIS EASY FOR ME 😀
As soon as I saw the mirror, I thought "Arctic Hare will be happy about that.
DO NOT FEAR. THIS IS A KINDNESS.
Craiggggg.
Me want Craigy-poo safe and warm with Stormy.
USE LOVE… LOVE ALWAYS WORKS.
Stormy (baby or otherwise, though as a baby would be amusing) for series 7 companion.
Or is fear stronger?
Riveeeeeeer. D8
GO CRAIG GO!
OF COURSE YOU'RE A DADDY. YOU LOVE ALFIE.
YAY.
Ew. Brains.
Yeah. Love. You blew them up with love.
Discount… alskdf;lskdfjdslk so you didn't marry Sophie. 🙁 oh well.
Oh, Craig, what did you expect?
I thought you were talking about talking to the doctor about marriage. To play along. Oh.
It seems like the past few weeks have been filled with nothing but complete SADNESS because of this show.
I need to watch The Unicorn and the Wasp, that should cheer me up…
Same writer!
Aww. Doctor tidied up. For once.
Aww. He likes Alfie. And his daddy. aww.
The blue envelopes! D: Doctor, no, don't go!
…Oh. The invites.
THE STETSON.
SOPHIE.
Envelopes have never been so sad. Neither have stetsons…
The Doctor lives a gazillion years across the universe, five minutes in America and BOOM. He's gone.
Great.
Proof that America kills everything. So glad I don't live there.
…*looks around* Waaaaait.
Oh, us Americans and our guns.
This makes it twice that he's died in America.
The Doctor and America are not the best mixture, sadly.
omg, Craig had the envelopes and stetson?
Oh, he's sending out those letters everyone got way back in episode one. Love the attention to detail on that.
XD It said Doctor? What is all of this? Other than awesome.
JNO. GO AWAY
DON'T YOU DO THAT. GET OUT FROM BEHIND RIVERMELODY.
…STOP BEING CREEPY.
NO. GO AWAY.
NO ME GUSTA.
That cliffhanger. Just. WHAT.
I'm so scared for next week. jfklajfeoncoajeoijvaknfjoejncajofiacjna'jogivano'ajvma'j9034iutj940smakldmvlsa

ughh gif post fail. how are you all loading your gif images?
HTML.
Imgur is good; it can upload a picture/.gif from a direct link such as that one and then give multiple formats for posting, including HTML, easy to copy and paste. 🙂
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/e9B18.gif" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
img src="image url"
with tags.
If you don't have an image host that gives you the html code then here's a more detailed explanation:

Also, it should be an absolute path (the whole url), some explanations:

oh you guys are awesome. thx! :]
Just started watching Remembrance of the Daleks (7th Doctor) and there's that creepy singing girl's voice. I don't know if that's significant or just a coincidence. Going to try and finish the serial tomorrow.
So theories abound just from stuff in this episode,
I'm pretty sure the reason Kovarian wears that eyepatch isn't because she's injured or blind. I'm betting it's a monitor displaying the Silence so she never forgets them.
Also there's another one of those prequels too next weeks episode on the Doctor Who website like the one they did before "A Good Man Goes to War" and "Lets Kill Hitler" that probably won't be in the actual episode.
Brilliant. That would make perfect sense, wouldn't it? She wasn't at all surprised to see them…
That's a really cool theory! And we got a flash in the preview of others wearing it, sot that makes sense!
Oh cool, someone else had the same thought! Actually, I figured it was a picture of the Silence, but the theory still works. This also fits with something I noticed when I watched the prequel for the next episode… but I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it Sufficient to say, the eyepatches show up again.
Ohhhhhh! I like that theory a lot.
The ending was rather jarring, tbh. I didn't enjoy this episode as much as I hoped I would.
I've gone back through all of my liveblog comments. Based on your upvotes, you are all sick people for wishing discomfort and fear on me….
Group hug?
Just saw someone on the internet refer to the Petrichor perfume as 'Pondwater'.
If Melody grows up to be River Song, can Stormageddon grow up to be Rory? Please?
Maybe its just me but if River was going to be in the astronaut suit all along I'm not really seeing the purpose of Let's Kill Hitler.
To put Hitler in the cupboard.
Also, to mess with our minds.
There's rather a big difference between being manically happy to kill the Doctor because whatevs and why not, and being forced into it after you've already sacrificed quite a bit to save his life and are in the process of trying to, at least a little bit, get your own life going, when OOP SURPRISE EYEPATCH LADY AND SILENTS.
Remember River asking if the suit could move on its own, way back in the Impossible Astronaut?
Plus, this being Moffat, I'm half expecting that helmet to come up and it being someone entirely unexpected in the suit, but who knows.
Agreed. Rule 1: Moffat lies.
In fact the rather blase way on confidental he's like 'yep its the obvious, its river' just convinced me even more he was lying through his teeth and now I sorta hope he is cos it'd be like 'oh he wasnt lying' if it turns out to be true. 😛
And also, A Good Man Goes To War/Let's Kill Hitler served the purpose of the origins of Melody Pond/River Song.
A Good Man Goes To War was the birth of Melody Pond and her subsequent kidnapping, and Let's Kill Hitler was the life of Melody/Mels after her brainwashing and reintroduction into society via her parents which served both the purpose of the Ponds raising their child as well as getting her close to the Doctor and her eventual discovery and attempted murder of him, then her conversion.
Thanks for some other informative blog. The place else may I am getting that type of info written in such an ideal manner? I’ve a project that I’m simply now operating on, and I’ve been at the glance out for such information.
