Mark Watches ‘Doctor Who’ Liveblog – The Girl Who Waited

Oh, look at that title. Look at that title. Tonight is going to be the very best. ALLOW US TO LIVEBLOG DOCTOR WHO AND FLAIL TOGETHER. No, seriously, the title alone excites me.

No, seriously, the title alone makes me excited. Oh god, I love Amy and Rory so much.

No spoilery images for me!

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.

The review for “The Girl Who Waited” will go up on Monday, and then I’ll continue watching Battlestar Galactica. I’m also rather excited because I now have cable in my new apartment, which means I get to watch it live on BBC America! THIS IS WEIRD, I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE THINGS I AM FEELING.

See y’all tonight!

    Yeesssss. SO MANY YESSES.

    I am ridiculously excited for this. I love Amy and Rory so much, and this title is like the Mirror of Erised; it shows all my desires. Also, the little preview thing made absolutely no sense, and that usually promises for a good episode.

  2. Meenakshi says:

    I have enjoyed all the Matt Smith episodes and like Amy and Rory as companions. Hope Rory gets a lot of the spotlight in this episode.

  3. NB2000 says:

  5. Noybusiness says:

    You are doing an extra BSG to make up for the lost day, right?

  6. I AM READY AND I HAVE CAKE

    Bring it on.

  7. @westeros says:

    I told myself I wasn't going to stay up till 7 for this again. YET HERE I AM.

  8. NB2000 says:

    Five minutes!

  9. Anseflans says:

    GAHHH JUST IN TIME!!!

  10. NB2000 says:

    YAY STARTING!

  11. Vikinhaw says:

    Yes! It's about to start and just as I ran everyone else out of the room. There will be no noisy interruptions.

  12. psycicflower says:

    Here we go!

  13. Anseflans says:

    Planet of the Coffeeshops? Sounds like Amsterdam..

  14. Vikinhaw says:

    New coat? It's a clue.

  15. psycicflower says:

    I love when the Doctor gets undercut in his grand descriptions.

    'And you want to update Twitter?'

  16. NB2000 says:

    rofl Twitter!

    ILU Amy wanting your camera, totally what I'd be doing.

  17. @westeros says:

    Amy's hair is just fabulous lately.

  18. NB2000 says:

    Uhoh, wrong button yes?

    Oh no poor Amy

  19. Anseflans says:

    Ohhhh dear, WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK WHICH BUTTON??!!

    AND FOR THAT MATTER, WHY WOULD YOU PUSH THE RED BUTTON WHEN THERE IS A GREEN BUTTON?!?!?!?!

    • redletter_ says:

      It's like a personality test. Amy pushes red because she's all firey and stubborn and shit. Rory pushes green because he's such a chilled dude.

      Heh.

  20. Elexus Calcearius says:

    Three minutes in, and I'm confused.

  21. Vikinhaw says:

    Shallow observation but everyone is being so pretty in this episode.

  22. Anseflans says:

    A WEEK???

  23. psycicflower says:

    Amy been there a week. Uh oh.

  24. Anseflans says:

    … Why am I wondering if Amy would look hot as a granny?

    Damn you, internet, forever screwing up my brain.

  25. NB2000 says:

    RORY NO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE! See

  26. Anseflans says:

    RORY WHYYYY WOULD YOU DO THAT???

  27. psycicflower says:

    Clever Rory going back out and hitting button.

  28. Anseflans says:

    Oh wait it's fine nvm.

  29. chichichimaera says:

    I'm kind of loving this set design. I <3 minimalism.

  30. NB2000 says:

    Oh phew I thought he was going to get seperated as well. But no, back with Eleven.

    Eeeep illness that could kill the Doctor.

  31. psycicflower says:

    So you get to see the people you care about throughout their life?

    EDIT: \o/ woop I was right.

  32. psycicflower says:

    Killing with kindness, flash back to history classes/lectures.

  33. Vikinhaw says:

    The Doctor is such a hipster with those glasses.

  34. chichichimaera says:

    The return of glasses!Rory!!!

  35. Anseflans says:

    Omg Rory to the rescue. <333

    I want my own Rory. I think everyone should have a Rory.

  36. NB2000 says:

    Awww Rorycam. I find that oddly cute.

    Oh god poor amy wandering around the spooky empty hospital.

  37. Vikinhaw says:

    Empty airport-type places are so freaky.

  38. chichichimaera says:

    Why am I getting Portal vibes? I haven't even played that game!

  39. NB2000 says:

    rofl Clom has a Disneyland?

  40. Anseflans says:

    This place sounds like FUN.

  41. Elexus Calcearius says:

    Disneyland Clom, awesome. XD

  42. chichichimaera says:

    Unexpected visitor, in the bagging area. Lol.

  43. Anseflans says:

    …Okay this place does NOT sound like fun anymore.

  44. psycicflower says:

    I hate needles *squirms*

  45. chichichimaera says:

    Holy shit that's cool/terrifying.

  46. chichichimaera says:

    Stephen Moffat attempts to make us afraid of the word 'kindness'…

  47. NB2000 says:

    Oooh Amy's gold nail varnish is back!

    Oooh the weird and awesome garden from the trailers!

  48. Anseflans says:

    Pretty but spooky garden.

  49. psycicflower says:

    Shouldn't Amy be running into other people or are everyone's stream seperate? Must be lonely otherwise.

  50. Imelda Staunton what are you doing in that computer

  51. NB2000 says:

    Hee go Amy knocking out the Handbots!

  52. chichichimaera says:

    Temporal engines sound like a bad thing to mess around with if you don't know exactly what you're doing…

  53. psycicflower says:

    'Are they happy?' Love you Rory.

  54. psycicflower says:

    Amy with a sword!

  55. Anseflans says:

  58. Anseflans says:

    Ohh, she's FEISTY.

  59. Elexus Calcearius says:

    God, the Ponds are the most epic family ever. Can somebody make a fanart of Warrior Amy, Centurion Rory and River together?

  60. Vikinhaw says:

    Old Amy sounds like the Doctor.

  61. psycicflower says:

    Oh Amy. You need all the hugs, especially from Rory.

  62. NB2000 says:

    Oh Amy.

    NO DON'T HATE HIM *cries*

  63. Anseflans says:

  74. psycicflower says:

    'Still anything beats a fez eh?'

  75. psycicflower says:

    Oh that's a lovely version of Amy and Rory's theme.

  88. psycicflower says:

    Why are you trying to break me Doctor Who? What have I ever done to you?

  89. is this episode going to make me cry

    … it is isn't it ;_;

  90. psycicflower says:

    I love that it's not the Doctor that enters into Amy's mind but that she trusts and believes Rory won't leave her.

  91. Vikinhaw says:

    'their face sort-of becomes them'
    This is so sweet and true

  92. psycicflower says:
