Oh god OH MY GOD. For those of us who will either be watching the actual BBC airing of the mid-season finale or, like me, illegally viewing such things because I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO WAIT FOR THIS SHIT, the last liveblog of Doctor Who for quite some time is about to take place. And let us all enjoy the moment our heads collectively explode.
omg i love that i can say this: YOU ARE NOT PREPARED. Well, obviously, I am not either, BUT STILL.
No spoilery images or hints from me today. Let’s all respect that for each other, ok? Especially those in America who must wait a week.
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.
Have fun! This is my last real-time post before I leave for the AIDS/LifeCycle. Huzzah!
He looks good in purple.
They're totally doing it.
Oh, you are so fools!
I don't think that I would like to convert to the Headless Monks!
I like that girl, and thus she will probably die, because she is adorable and quite sympathetic.
oh lord i am not going to like this reveal by the monks, i am not going to like this am i oh god oh god
Urrrrrck gag reflex–DOCTOR
omg they have lightning swords wheee they are fairly badass even though they make me ill, these brothers
Judoon as well? Awesome
PLAYED RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS.
HELLS YEAH THE DOCTOR AND HIS ALLIES!
Danny boy!
DANNY BOY TO THE DOCTOR, DANNY BOY TO THE DOCTOR.
I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM. ZOMG SPITFIRES IN SPAAAAAAAACE!!
HHHHHNNNNN SO EPIC.
Spitfires in SPAAAAACE!
EVERYONE JUST KICKS ASS!
RORY! AVERY! FUCK YEAH THIS EPISODE IS AWESOME!
rofl Colonel Runaway
MATT SMITH WHY YOU SO AWESOMES?!
Ooo, Doctor's in full on vindictive mode. This won't end well for everyone else.
Angry Doctor is scary Doctor
RORRRRRRYYYYY.
AMY/RORY REUNION! AND BABY!!!!!
POND FAMILY!
MY CREYS.
ilu Rory
Okay so when's everything going to go horribly wrong.
Rory when are you going to accept that you're the Ponds?
"I speak baby"
D'aaawww
I speak baby. 8D 8D
This is too happy. Something terrible is coming next.
(Why has the number next to my name suddenly gone to zero???) :/
It's reading 77p to me.
Nevermind it's gone back now. Weird.
The virus from Eleventh hour finally catching up with you?
I admit, I LOL'd. XD
Oh dear! This is too easy!
OH GOD I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT SIR.
Produce magnificent quantities of lactic fluid… :/
BEST WETNURSE EVER.
SUUUUUUSSSSAN.
rofl oh god Sontaran Nanny
WHY DOESN'T SHE LIKE THE TARDIS?!
Is it just me or is there some bow-chicka-wow-wow going on between lizard lady and her servant? They have such banter and joy together.
I know the joy we feel now will only be shot right down at some point and when it is shot down I will be dreadfully, awfully sad, but this music is so beautiful and this music so gorgeous that I am being lulled into a false sense of security and this is just what Moffat wants
The Doctor speaks Baby, awww
I'm convinced they're lesbians. Which just makes them need their own show even more.
If nobody does that, I am seriously tempted to make a comic out of it myself. But then again I want to make comics out of everything, and one day I will get around to doing so.
Cross-species lesbians. I still can't decide whether that's incredibly hawt or incredibly gross… XD
what abouy kirk .he didnt care .
I'm going for incredibly awesome.
I doubt there will be a show. However, I am definitely going to demand fanfic. Which is pretty awesome since generally I avoid Doctor Who fanfic entirely.
I love how all the new couples in this ep are gay 😀
"Why do you put up with me?"
*silurian lady reveals absurdly long flexible tongue*
um, yeah. That's why.
;P
Doctor's cot…I'M NOT CRYING THERE'S JUST SOMETHING IN MY EYE!
I'M NOT CRYING THERE'S JUST SOMETHING IN MY EYE!
CLOSE YOUR EYES. DON'T OPEN THEM. NOT EVEN FOR A SECOND.
You're just making a lasagna – for one
Where's the Ten I'M NOT CRYING IT'S JUST RAINING ON MY FACE gif when you need it?
Actually that's even more adorable. (Though I'm not sure it's true.)
Corrected, it's the Doctor's crib.
OHSHIT TIME LORD BABY
Why does Melody have Time Lord DNA?
…results of a threesome?
She was conceived while they were in flight on the TARDIS. I think they said that Time Lords came about after millions (?) of years of exposure to the Time Vortex, and being conceived while in flight meant that she was conceived all through time? in proximity to the working vortex? so maybe the huon particles from time vortex mutated her DNA to the same way that Time Lords had their DNA changed over millions of years.
(by the way I am fully aware that that makes NO biological sense in our universe, but it's an okay-ish fan wanky explanation?)
do for me .
Works for me.
Have you seen how this show treats DNA? That's perfectly reasonable.
That's how I understood it and it works for me!
I want more of the Silurian Lady. A show about her would be so awesome.
MY THEORY WAS RIGHT SHE'S PART TIME LORD! I'M A GENIUS.
Listen to the soldier lady (who I'm now really convinced is River)
THE BUNK BEDS DIDN'T WORK DOCTOR!
Wedding night baby! lol
When did this baby… begin? Best euphemism ever.
The Doctor suddenly realising what humans might do on their wedding night!
His awkwardness over the discussion of Amy/Rory sex was hilarious. No wonder he gave them bunk beds. XD
I like this Silurian lady, she's awesome can she stay on?
Don't forget her maid too.
I need to see this show, right now. They have amazing chemistry. It's like Lizard-Batman in Victorian England.
Even just the sentence It's like Lizard-Batman in Victorian England automatically means it deserves to be made. And then you add women and possible lesbians and it's practically mandatory.
POSSIBLE lesbians? If that was the Moff being subtle??? Yeah they were clearly *at least* dating, if not actually married 🙂
Put the pieces together faster Doctor.
The Doctor was a bit slow on the uptake with Time!Girl.
Oh God the Sith are attacking!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?! WHY IS THE TARDIS IN A THING?!
IT'S A TRAP! *insert star wars pic here*
<img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/245hjzo.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
ATTACK PRAYER! Lol.
Wait, how can they do that if they have no mouths to chant with?
They're like bagpipes. Blowing air out through the sack-neck thing.
Oh God, BEST mental image. 😀
Oh god this is either lolarious or disturbing.
Let's go with a bit of both.
As a sort-of Catholic attack prayer is one of the funniest things I'm ever heard.
As an actual Catholic (actually, that's irrelevant to my comment, just wanted some nice parallelism there), that chanting scared the Hell out of me.
Rory's Time Lord name would totally be The Centurion.
No, it would totally be The Nose. 😉
And every time he regenerates you always know it's him by looking at the nose.
OHSHIT DORIUM
I DO NOT LIKE THIS, THIS IS ALL VERY BAD
Oh No! Amy and baby must be gangers!
NOOOOOOO!!!!! Leave Amy and baby alone!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
FUCK YOU MOFFAT!
FLESH CHILD OH HOLY SHIT.
Argh! No! Melody!
shit fuck nooooooooooooooooooo
oh god no that's horrifying
WHAAAAAAT!?!?!?!
HELL NO!!!!
I think the rest of this episode will be pithily summed up as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU–
OH GOD EVERYTHING IS HORRIBLE AND IT ALL HURTS
Fuck this is horrible.
So my River theory was wrong.
I liked Lorna, why'd she have to die?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MOFF!
Oh NOW she shows up
RIVER!
Oh River you sexy bitch!
*flailing*
Fuck that music, it's so sad. Oh lawd, oh lawd
WAIT that eyepatch lady appeared again, is she another copy shit shit—
or, rather, the baby–
I got shivers at that point, goddamn you Moffat
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
WAIT…IS THIS…IS SHE?!
USE YOUR WORDS DOCTOR AND RIVER!
CURSE YOU MOFFAT!! WHO IS RIVER?!!!
Wait, does this mean River is The Doctor?
On, no, she is the baby.
That would have been sooo weird. (and interesting)
AMY SPEAKS FOR THE AUDIENCE! ANSWERS! NOW!
!!!!!!!!!!!! RIVER IS MELODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAH KNEW IT!
Holy shit! :O
OMG THE THEORIES WERE RIGHT!!
well, we knew that…
OMG WHAT IS THAT ACTUAL TITLE. FUUUUUCCCCCKKKK MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING. MOFFAT DAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T END IT THERE SON OF A BITCH!
Let's Kill Hitler????????????????????
That's… direct!
And strangely cheerful sounding. Like 'let's go on a picnic!' Though to be fair, that's the stereotypical thing people say when they talk about time travel.
I love that title. XD
I don't even know.
I seriously can't fathom how Nazi Germany follows this story.
Someone's decided to put Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act to the test.
NO WORDS NO GIFS I ACTUALLY JUST THREW MY ARMS IN THE AIR
SAME I DID THE DOCTORS DRUNKEN GIRAFFE DANCE.
Saying "eeeh ooh come on leeeeet's go"?
But seriously, I just yelled "WHAT? WHAT? THATS THE END?" at my screen
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!
What have we got to look forward to? The next title is brilliant!!!!!!
God the title for the next one, REALLY MOFF?
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. ARGGGGH ALVM 2'E4WR;G,P;EK
Right: So as not to lose my place- or any of my little yellow points (I love those things) everything will be in one comment today. I will start this comment by telling everyone I rushed home from Strawberry Fair for this Dr Who: I missed music, and too much drinking and hippyish tat and getting a sunburn for this episode, so it had better be good.
Shut up, dancing show, I don;t CARE ABOUT YOU. I WANT YOU TO GO AWAY.
Demons Run- that's a pleasant place to grow up.
Creepy robe people. How does amy look so FAB after giving birth?
CYBERMEN
They focussed on that young soldier. RIVER?
RORY!!!
BADASS RORY!! FUCK YEAH!!!
FUCKING HELL FUCK YEAH
holy fucking shit he's calling in all his old favours BRILLIANT. THIS IS EPIC.
I like the sontaran!
ILU RIVER ILU SO HARD
WHY NOT RIVER- Did you kill Rory?
The Dr's darkest hour- I don;t LIKE THIS. I AM NERVOUS AND ANXIETY RIDDEN!
MY GOD THIS IS SO GOO. AND ONLY 15 MINUTES IN.
"I DONLT KNOW WHY YOU PUT UP WITH ME' TOUNGUE– KNOWING EYEBROW- WHOLE HOUSEHOLD LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY
I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GET RID OF CAPSLOCK

THAT DIDN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING DAUGHTER! WIFE! MELODY???!! CAUSE THAT WOULD BE REALLY CREEPY. THEY'RE GOING THERE.
I'M UNSURE OF HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS. BUT WHAT. THE FUCK.
WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
i am unsure
"i am unsure" is the best final sentence ever for this episode!
I am unsure: what just happened. what to feel. what this means for the future. what this means in retrospect.
I AM UNSURE
Hey, I did all my liveblog in a single post too! Bravo for great minds. (Mostly I didn't want to be distracted by typing while trying to keep the episode in the same place as everybody else and risk missing things)
OK, so I am not the only one obsessing over Intense Debate reputation points and how they are tallied? Because I swear I've reached 80p at least twice now, but it drops back down any time I do a liveblog, presumably because I have too many short comments without enough points? That irritates me – we’re just trying to discuss things and not all blog posts are conducive to lengthy comments that warrant oodles of upvotes. Why does ID dock points just for posting?
That episode was…kind of underwhelming. I dunno, felt like they were just moving from plot point to plot point.
I WAS JUST WTATCHING THIS IN THE OTHER ROOM SO COULDN'T LOVEBLOG
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKDFASLKGDKSTKNHTDRKLHNKDFNKLYJDRGHSETY
ALWAYS love blog 😀
(Best typo ever?)
THE DOCTOR WILL RETURN IN
OH MY GOD; WHAT THE FUCK AND OTHER THRILLING TALES
So basically, the Doctor has already seen Amy and Rory's baby die. Nice!
OH GOD DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT. D: D: D: *epic face of horror*
…excuse me I'm going to go cry in the corner for them all now.
Kind of harsh…but considering that the Doctor is a Timeloard and 900 years old and all? Probably not something he's entirely unfamiliar with. :/
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
I can NEVER watch Silence in the Library or Forest of the Dead EVER AGAIN
That brings even more depth to her comment, "The funny thing is, this means you always knew how I was going to die" than we EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
uhm, actually if he knows she can regenerate, maybe he can finally save her from the library?
All the sad. D=
OHHHHH MY GODDDDD
NO PUEDO.
NUNCA PUEDO!!!
Holy crap. Didn't see that coming.
