Ah, the return of the weekly Doctor Who liveblog! I genuinely missed these, my fellow Watchers! This week, things happen that I will not even reference because I dare not spoil a soul, but get your keyboards ready. On Saturday, we shall liveblog Doctor Who!
I think I’d be sadder about having to wait to liveblog “Night Terrors” until Sunday if I wasn’t going to be having the best night in my life. This will be the first time I can’t truly attend a liveblog, and it’s because I’ll be in Los Angeles at Fuck Yeah Fest! and I will be sobbing during Kid Dynamite, The Dead Milkmen and THE DESCENDENTS. OH MY GOD I HAVE NOT SEEN THE DESCENDENTS SINCE I WAS ELEVEN. Anyway, do not let this stop 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.
My review of “Night Terrors” will go up on Monday, and we’ll resume Battlestar Galactica on Tuesday!
You're not skipping Galactica today, are you?
Oh, Dead Milkmen! I do love "I Dream of Jesus."
Mommy, she loved Jesus
But not like others did
For she had a special bottle
In which our savior lived
Mommy, she loved Jesus
But not like others did
For she could unleash His vengeance
By unfastening the lid
Yay! Though it'll be hard to wait for that next BSG review…
I'm so nervous for this episode! It's gonna give me nightmares, isn't it?
OMG YAY LIVEBLOG!!! EXCITE!

I am NEVER PREPARED.
Looking forward to this episode. I do love creepy in my Who.
There's an episode of Moffat-Who that's called "Night Terrors"? I… I don't know if I can watch it. *hides*
I will not be able to attend the liveblog but I had the best Doctor Who related dream last night that I want to share with somebody before I forget it, and who better than you lovely lot? I hope this is ok!
Amy and I were stuck inside a huge building full of sterile white laboratory type rooms and Amy had a portal gun. The woman who captured us there (who looked and dressed like Elizabeth the First) had stolen baby!Melody and Rory and locked the building so the Doctor couldn't TARDIS inside. (She also brainwashed Rory and changed his name to Jesus…I don't quite understand that bit but anywho.) Amy was naturally extremely pissed that they stole her husband and baby, and was all kinds of fierce portalling us from place to place to try and find a way out while Elizabeth I talked at us through an intercom. We were just going round in circles though, until the intercom started crackling and playing music as well, which we realised was the Doctor trying to get a message to us. We didnt understand the message though, it was just classical music, and then we twigged that he was drawing our attention to the intercom itself. We pulled one off the wall and revealed a space behind it that Amy could portal us into that would take us out of the lab-style rooms and into the behind-the-scenes bit of the building. THEN Rory/Jesus turned up (dressed as the Last Centurion might I add) instructed to kill us and not let us escape……
Then I woke up. Dammit dream leaving me on a cliffhanger XD
Hope everyone enjoys the liveblog tonight and is ready for the Moff to quite probably scare the pants off us all haha!
SOMEONE TURN THIS INTO A FANFIC NOOOOOOOW
This totally sounds like something I would dream.
Rory is Jesus because he rose from the dead. Multiple times.
I get so scared with creepy. But I'm definitely going to watch this episode — not missing my Doctor Who fix.
This will be my first DW liveblog!

I wish I could join you guys but I'm not watching the show in the same room as the PC D: I WILL MISS YOU GUYS
55 MINUTES

Whyyy BBC, you keep putting this on at 7 or after 7 now. It means I have to miss it as I'm putting my son to bed. When it was 6.45 it was fine because he was awake enough to watch the whole thing with us and go to bed at 7.30, any closer to 8 and he's too tired not to get hyped up by it and jump on us the whole time 🙁
However, watching it on iplayer later does mean we get the HD option. Matt's facial expressions definitely make this worthwhile. Choices!
This episode looks so scary. I'm so excited I can't do anything else. 20 minutes!
let's see if I can watch DW, liveblog, AND paint my nails at the same time. I LIVE ON THE EDGE
15 minutes!
5 MINUTES!!
OMG IT'S ABOUT TO START BRB MUST FORAGE FOR SNACKS
also I just read the summary for this ep
<img src="http://i54.tinypic.com/aem80h.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
no sir, I am not prepared
RIGHT CLICK SAVE.
1 MINUTE OMGOMGOMG!
To think I almost forgot it was Saturday!
I am prepared with fingers of lightning speed to type the beautiful quotables from this episode while also balancing not ruining the episode for my father who hates it when I type.
IT IS A CHALLENGE BUT I DO IT FOR YOU GUYS. ilu all
Is everyone ready and hiding behind their sofa/cushion/hands?
IT'S STARTING!
The sounds gone on my telly! NOOOOOOO!!!
Oh thank god I got it back. *crosses fingers it doesn't happen again*
Well if Let's Kill Hitler taught us anything, putting shit in the cupboard ALWAYS WORKS. Right??
Is he calling to the Doctor? That's so cute and awesome.
I love the idea of the Doctor as a kid's imaginary friends/ hero. it's just perfect for him.
Turned off all the lights, turned up the volume, LET'S GO.
oh god these flats are just like my flats
am I going to be doing that thing with the lights tonight after watching this
probably
"The scariest place in the universe, a child's bedroom"…well that's not going to scare anyone.
My family have developed this hideous habit of really badly singing the theme tune wherever we go. They find the "oooooweeeeOOOOOOoooohoohooh" bit the most difficult and have been known to frighten poor French people while howling this at the top of their voices in caves located in pretty castles.
That child has a marionette puppet hanging in his room, what were his parents thinking?
My friend lives in council flats just like that aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Hahahaha "IS IT THE BINS?"
Rory, I love you.
IS IT ABOUT THE BINS
This is so true to life.
Oh Team TARDIS this isn't going well is it?
Finally, what really happens when investigators try knocking on doors at night!
It's the middle of the night, did they really expect people to let them in?
Rory, you are the King of Bad Timing.
'Maybe we should let the monsters gobble him up' I love you Rory
GOOD LORD HOW CREEPY, RORY
FUUUU EVIL LIFT!
Shit, where did the Ponds go!?
AHHH ELEVATORS
I'm really liking how this episode is flowing so far. It has a lovely fluidity to it that I just didn't feel with Let's Kill Hitler, though I may have been overly judgmental of it because I had a lot of expectations riding on it.
edit haha, the first time round I wrote "I may have been overly judgmental of me". Some underlying issues to that Freudian slip maybe
Things aren't going to end well for the old biddy are they?
LADY ITS PROBABLY A CAT LEAVE IT ALONE
Evil binbags of death!
"Not the fear of pants, panphobia, if that's what you're thinking, though it is fear of everything which would include pants I suppose, sorry."
We're dead. Again.
"We're dead…again" rofl aww Rory.
I'm really loving Amy's outfit in this episode.
I was totally grabby-handsing over those boots NGL.
And that scaaarf <333
Love that fact that Rory matter of factly just assumes he's dead – again!
WE'RE DEAD. AGAIN. I love you Rory. Your nose looks so good in this episode.
lol Rory
well Rory would know about being dead, wouldn't he?
Are the Ponds in a doll's house of some kind with the painted pot?
i'm so excited! i haven't posted on markwatches since avatar hahaha
DOLL HOUSE?
omg are they in a doll house?
Haha, I love how three of us came to the same conclusion at the exact same time.
I feel so proud! 😀
Hahaha, I wasn't liveblogging but I said the exact same thing at this moment as we were watching it.
FUUUUUU eye in drawer, even if it is fake, FUUUUU
I love how they assume the eye's real.
Self-commentary, scary stuff on telly?
Aside from this being Doctor Who, Mark Gatiss does love his horror in general.
Oh Doctor. You are such an alien.
what is this what is even going on I am confused and scared
RUBIKS CUBE OMG
i want to read all these stories!
A creepy things cupboard in his room? Cause that's not nightmare fuel for a child.
"There's nothing to be scared of, George. It's just a…cupboard."
oh fuuuuuuu–
creepy shadow??
I dunno, having my toys come alive might give me nightmares… it would be like Sid from Toy Story
This is a beautiful and whimsical moment with the Doctor showing that frightened child some fun and childhood delight and I expect it will not be ruined in any way at all.
Awww, playing with the toys. so cute.
I do not like creepy landlord dude!
'A bit rusty at this' That line's quite sad actually.
ITS A DOLL HOUSE. (or maybe not)
Why are children so creepy sometimes?????
NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOT THE LAUGHING
Jesus, the place Amy and Rory are is sooooooo creepy.
…Eh?
Silent Stars?!
Talk beautiful to me, Doctor.
I need to know all the words to that.
This would be a great introductory episode.
'First things first, have you got any Jamie Dodgers?'
I like your priorities Doctor.
Oh no. I hate it when old biddies get hurt. I always feel so sad for them.
so creepy dnw dnw
Nightmares.
Yeah don't be poking the giant doll Ponds
Oh fuuu creepy singing
The sound of creepy children singing, that always ends well.
No. No you stop singing right now. UNSAFE.
STOP IT STOP IT WITH THE MOVING DOLLS THIS IS NOT OK
"That's what I do, fighting the monsters. Breakfast, lunch and tea. Just another day at the office."
Unimpressed dog is unimpressed.
Haha the ground ate him.
Okay, Doctor Who, I love you but that was some really bad shit for those effects there. wtf
lol Bernard just doesn't give a fuck
Bernard just does not give a fuck.
ROFL dog completely unconcerned that its owner just got eaten by the floor.
Draw the tension out a little longer why don't you Doctor.
HA. THERE IS THE DOLLHOUSE. MY THEORY STANDS FOR ANOTHER 5 MMINUTES.
for a second i thought he went IN to the cupboard and was like NARNIAAAAAA!!!
