SO I DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS POST WENT. It was in the queue, it was supposed to go up at 7am, and NO SUCH THING HAPPENED. It’s not in my trashed posts or pending or a draft…just *POOF* gone. UGH.
Sorry for all those outside of the US who did not get to participate in some livebloggy goodness! For those of us in the States who still must wait for tonight’s episode of Doctor Who, please join in!
As usual, no spoilers until the episode has aired relative to you. Since some of you have seen it now, please DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT THE EPISODE so that others may liveblog and enjoy it!
THANKS. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
As a gift, the greatest Eleven GIF of all time:
I love Matt Smith. He's just the best Doctor ever – and this is coming from someone who saw his forehead before his face and went 'NEVER GONNA TOP TENNANT'.
He has become my Doctor. *squee!*
LOL at the GIF. Matt doing his "Because I'm worth it" pose.
It's the little flick of the fringe that does the trick. XD
OMG. That gif. *dies*
AWESOME GIF IS AWESOME.
<img src="http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z393/perpendimentia/this1.jpg">
And I shall post MOAR Eleven gifs while we wait. BECAUSE SURE WHY NOT.

UGH what is it about glasses that makes him look even more deliciously adorkable?
I think it's that they're slightly crooked <3
HNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG.
/dead.
Ah! I was wondering where the liveblog post was!
*Wonders if the US show airs at a suitable time for me to rewatch and join in*
I have seen it! But I shall endeavor not to spoil anyone! So gifs in honor of the episode title (because we were all thinking it, y?):

Everyone loves a good Captain Jack.

You know what? I've figured out that it's not that I don't ship, it's that my shipper goggles are stuck on the crack ship setting.
They're now conjuring up the Captain Jack Sparrow/Captain Jack Harkness ship. 8D
Crack is the best setting shipper goggles have!
Captain Jack^2 😀
That's almost as good as Amy Pond/Amy Pond. Almost. 😉
Ahem. Amy Pond/Rory/Amy Pond. Ahem.
😉 😉 😉
Rory and I both agree with you!
How about Amy/Rory/Amy/Rory? I'm sure Amy would appreciate it, and Rory would warm up to the idea.
Crack/Crossover ships are the best! 😀
You forgot one! Nothing's better than the Captains Jack.
…I think I RPed that, back in the day. >_>
PIRATES!
people, they now have PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN LEGO SETS. I WANT. ;_;
*grabby hands*
WAAAAAANT.
It's bad enough I can't get the Harry Potter one 🙁 🙁 🙁
AWESOME 😀
*glares at innocently sleeping child* hurry up and be old enough to play with lego!
buy your own!
do not be afraid!
Hmm, he'd probably eat it. But good idea 😀
OMG I can't wait for the PotC LEGO game. CAN'T WAIT!
'Bout this episode
'YARRR' is all I have to say
I shall say no more
/haiku
I was so sad the post wasn't up when I was watching it and therefore missed my opportunity to liveblog 🙁 BUT I stopped by to say I love that gif <3
I've already watched the episode so I won't spoil it! 😛
But it weirded me out that Hugh Bonneville was in this, because I just watched 'Lost in Austen' where he plays Mr Bennet. And Alex Kingston plays Mrs Bennet! So that was a strange coincidence. They're both brilliant in that, by the way, if people haven't seen it I heartily recommend it!
I knew Hugh Bonneville from "Downton Abbey", which is an AWESOME "upstairs-downstairs" period drama. And it's been renewed for a second series, yay!
I know him as 'that guy from Downton Abbey' as well I greatly enjoyed Downton Abbey – can't wait to watch the second season with my family

This is fantastic.
Wow… That's gorgeous!
Oh also, unrelated to the episode (and not spoilery) did anyone see in the Confidential where they were walking around the set and casually saying "That's the Sarah Jane Adventures set"? I expect when they made that they assumed they'd be filming there again at some point. 🙁
(late to reply I know) Oh god I nearly started crying at that bit.
Two minutes till Doctor Who time~!!! X3
Awesome, and I'm still awake 😀
Yo hooo~ Yo hooo~ A pirate's life for meeee~
That supposed to be a mermaid ward? XD lol.
Man, Moff is super into mixing his fantasy/mythology with his sci fi.
It's on! 😀
Matt Smith's FACE!
haha, oh Doctor. XD "Does no one actually say that?"
It's starting!
And now for the question of the hour, which I'm sure everyone else has already asked:
Where's Johnny Depp?
Oh noes, a cut on his finger!
Why with the voiceover again? 🙁 These really annoy me.
ME TOO! Dear BBCA, please stop with the awkward voiceover intro.
Someone else said it makes it feel like it's more about Amy than the Doctor, and that's true too, but it annoys me mostly because it makes it feel like some kiddie-show shown at 6 in the evening and in which the kiddies are too young to remember what the show is about.
Never mind that DW did start as an educational kiddie show! SHHHHH.
Still… I know how Amy met the Doctor, thanks. And anyone who doesn't can catch reruns.
Cute Rory and his adorable little wave!
IT'S ON!!!!!
PIRATES OH HOW I LOVE YOU.
Hehe, stow-aways. Fun times. XD
Amy looks so adorable. Rory's little thumbs up. so cute.
Hahaha Rory <3
Walking the plank. YES.
LOL "You shouldn't feel threatened!"
Amy has an idea apparently. XP
Amy, you are such a BAMF.
I love how the doctor is angling after yet more headgear
You know, in a real sword fight she'd be screwed. Just saying. XD
Hello, Amy Elizabeth Swann Pond!
NO! RORY! D8
Oh crap. OH RORY. D:
RORY. RORY. RORY.
I LOVE YOU AS WELL.
AND LET ME SAY YOUR WIFE IS LOOKING FINE IN THAT SUIT. Says the straight female, WHAT IS YOUR POWER KAREN. WHAT.
Haha Rory agrees. New roleplay for them Y/Y?
Hell yes.
Rory SHOULD agree. She looks awesome. 😀
I LOVE RORY.
LOL some more: "Cuddle me"
The general beardiness in this episode is awesome.
o.o
RORY. WHY MUST RORY BE MARKED FOR DEATH??
Brilliant beards!
That… does not look like a mermaid.
It's a siren, not a mermaid.
Yes, well, but this was the beginning of the ep, wherein it HAD been called a mermaid not only by the pirates but in all the commercial previews. "There's a stroppy, homicidal mermaid…" etc.
And actually, it's technically a doctor! 😀
Does anyone have a gif of Ursula-as-pretty-lady doing the voice thing from The LIttle Mermaid? I feel like it would be 100% appropriate here.
She just vaporized him. :O
O.O DAMN. Don't touch the not-mermaid!
So, they're fighting a siren. Fun. XD
Does this remind anyone else of Ron/Hermione's reaction to the veela?
Totally. I said to my husband that Rory sometimes slips into the "Ron" of the group.
RORY WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN TROUBLE. PLEASE DON'T DIE (again).
"A green singing shark in an evening gown."
A green singing shark in an evening gown!
Yikes — "Yes please," and in that tone of voice. Creepy/well done, Arthur.
Of course he has a hat.
Yes, Doctor, that is a very intimidating hat.
Poor little boy. 🙁
Hmm, not so much with the navy, apparently.
LOL Rory. Stop saying that thing is beautiful. HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR WIFE DUDE? HAVE YOU?
Also, WHAT DOES THAT THING DOES. STOP KILLING PEOPLE AND STUFF. STOP IT. GET AWAY FROM RORY. NOW. Though I find her dress and make up amazing. And she does looks pretty. But then again. AMY POND. KAREN GILLAN. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.
"Boiling the saucepan, grating the cheese"
Good days and bad days. 😐
Rory looks somewhat sobered up now.
Here's an idea: everyone get on the Tardis and go elsewhere. XD Ta-daaaa~
"There are worse ways than having your face gnawed off by a dodgy mermaid."
Hello, TARDIS!
MORE TARDIS.
Yay, they ACTUALLY went to the Tardis! XD lol.
A ship's a ship! Nice moment for the captain.
I want a confused by insane doctor who plots t-shirt too.
Me too. I would join that club.
Awwww. Poor kid. You can just see his heart breaking on his face. 🙁
It's STUCK?
Tardis is stuck. Fail. XD;
OMG HAI TARDIS I'VE MISSED YOU.
And I love the Doctor saving the whole "ZOMG IS BIGGER IN THE INSIDE AWESOME!" conversation. XD.
Lol "your ship's rubbish".
O.O That's one vicious kid, though. Damn.
Looove that his dad instinctively knows the TARDIS controls, though. ^_^ "A ship's a ship."
Aww I love the little jaw-shifty hurt look when the captain says "Not much of a captain without a ship, are you?"
"Don't shoot, the powerful blond will kill us all."
No, don't abandon ship.
NOOO THE TARDIS!!!! D: D:
COME BACK!
O__O!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO THE TARDIS?!?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TARDIS?!?!?!??!? OMG WUT.
That is quite an unfortunate turn of events
Oh shit. The Doctor's face about the TARDIS leaving him. ;___;
Right? After last night's tumuluousness, I do not need such faces from the Doctor!
Seriously. No more crying faces, characters in shows I love!
Also, that ridiculous non-word I typed is supposed to be "tumultuousness." Oy.
Well that's what I read anyways, so it's all good. 😀
"Not much of a captain without his ship, are you?"
Don't you dare. The TARDIS runs off on it's own and you laugh?
Aah I'm getting ahead because I think I forgot to pause for commercials!
Nevermind the supplies, save the treasure!
Pirates got priorities, yo.
I'm going to laugh if it's not actually the reflections doing it and they dump the treasure for nothing. XD lol
I love the dialogue this season.
That's a rather creepy mobile the pirates have on their ship.
I think it's supposed to be a magic protection type thing (looks like a voodoo dreamcatcher thing to me), they painted a pentagram on the middle treasure chest thing as well.
Awkward father-son moment. Whoo~ XD
OH GREAT
Freaky woman from last episode again. o_o; wth?
And the hatch disappeared again D:
WHAT WHERE HUH.
/details finder.
WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK WAS THAT.
WTF EYEPATCH LADY WTF.
OMGs WHAT IF THIS IS AMY'S FUTURE MIDWIFE??
HOLY SHIT.
I got that vibe too! :O
Ditto. And I'm not really sold on it either! This is gonna be one wacky season.
That sort of makes sense, but but why is Amy giving birth with someone only looking through a hatch at her? And why was she "dreaming" in the last episode? You don't tend to sleep when you're giving birth, unless you've had lots and lots of drugs.
I don't know why Amy is giving birth with someone only looking through a hatch!
All I do know is that Moffatt is going to make this terrifying.
I don't know why but this is giving me the creepiest vibes of twilight sleep – which would be totally canon with 60's America D: and would also make it easy for someone to steal the baby at birth D: D: Please no!
O.O
I had to look it up because I had no idea what twilight sleep was but now that I have… holy shit holy shit holy shit….
I know and it totally fits with the theme they had all last series about being affected by things you can't remember D:
Oh, Amelia. <worries too>
Call her Amelia because we are totally worried about her.
And twilight sleep is, I think, something obscure enough to today's audience that I can see Moffatt using it, I really can.
Maybe she's giving birth in prison. Because it's not actually Amy giving birth, it's RIVER GIVING BIRTH TO AMY. Oh god, this show.
*Notices reputation score.* But, I've only went down four apparently. Why's my score -27 then?
Back on the topic of DW, that women from Day of the Moon surfaces again.
That's weird, it keeps changing :/ I guess it's some kind of technical fault.
I think the upvotes are bringing it out of the negatives.
I wonder if it has to do with the low number of comments you've made overall? So the ratio of downvotes to up gives those 4 more weight? Just look at how much the +1 on this comment brought you back up…
Doesn't seem like that'd be fair for those who don't comment much but still get downvoted. All the negative came from one comment, from what I've seen.
That siren thing has to be digitally enhanced, her eyes are too big.
Actually no. She's a model called Lily Cole.
It was Lily Cole? I used to use pictures of her in PS to play with enhancements and such since she had such pretty features and beautiful eyes. But I was so tired last night I wasn't entirely sure.
I couldn't remember her name watching but I thought I know her! I've seen her in a looooad of ads in over here. She's got a very distinctive look for a model.
You're right, sorry. Wow, she is stunning!
Crafty siren using the rain to get them all above deck?
TOBY!!!!!! D: D: D: D: D:
D'= Poor little kid. :'<
That poor boy. Tears.
RORY. STOP. DROWNING.
RORY. He is always in distress.
??? Why would he send the Siren after her…?
Doctor, I think you're putting too much faith in this siren, but you know, they can't all die….
Lots of hand injuries this season…
Commercial! Whyyyyyyyyyy!!!! D<
How do you cope? Haha
I download the episode online beforehand and watch it commercial free. XP But today I decided to watch it live. XD;
I guess this is how they get a 45 minute show to fill an hour slot :/ let me know when to unpause! 🙂
They really don't seem to understand the concept of "Limited commercial interruption" on BBCA, do they?
WTF. Space ship. Levels of universes. 😀 😀 😀
Ghost ship.
Huh.
