The Two Ponds...

"Where have the ducks gone?"

The Doctor: What is THAT?!
Amy: It's a duck pond!
The Doctor: Why aren't there any ducks?
Amy: I don't know--there's never any ducks!
The Doctor: Than how do you know it's a duck pond?
Amy: It just is! Is it important, the duck pond?
The Doctor: I don't know. Why would I know?

Hint hint! They've all been sucked into that scary crack in your wall/the entire universe!

Sucks for you...

Oh, "Doctor Who", I just couldn't let you be. I love you too much. Thank you BBC!

The eventual decline of facebook...yet to occur.

Honestly, I am amazed at how much time young people (myself somewhat included) spend looking at pictures of other people's vacations and reading the h0-hum thoughts and rambles of people they rarely actually speak with.

Yep. That's my rant of the day. But still I thank facebook(C) for the ability to share things like THIS with hundreds of people:



(My fist in Sora's face)

"Holy WOW, woman! Can you have THAT MUCH to say?!"

To address the title, as I often do, this quotation was a legitimate reaction to my blog. And the answer is 'yes'. I do have a lot to say. Even Tiny Tennant is aware of this!

{"...It's true. She babbles."}

......

And yes, I HAVE befriended a Tiny Tennant. You are all incredibly envious. And I am incredibly presumptuous.

So life (outside the Who Front. I know! I would be surprised to find out I had a life too!) has been fairly stress-filled for being so uneventful. Summer's here, and that's relaxing and all, but I've been undergoing a series of changes as far as my "professional" life, such as multiple solo-gigs (Yes, SOLO. Bandless. :.( ), one in front of the Mayor. That particular Mayor-related episode featured me forgetting the second verse to the easiest song EVER a.k.a. Green Day's "Good Riddance". It was a rousing rendition in which I sang things like, "I'm just going to mumble the rest of this verse", and "I learned this song yesterday because I thought it would be good for a graduation!". Mortification? Yes, at first. But given a few days to recover, I taught myself to be as amused as my audience was. I have to admit, I made a pretty decent recovery. Well, that's showbiz for ya.

I'll leave you now to ponder on my failure/success. Have fun wasting your valuable time wondering what it was like-- meanwhile, I'll be watching Jon Stewart and picking out some jammies (because only the cool kids can call pyjamas "jammies"...not like a Jammie Dodger. Don't confuse this term, mate! Don't you do it.). Loves!

Some Finality. (The new season captured)

Since the first Doctor we've watched on our television screens, a lot has happened. There's been a lot of change for both us, and the last of the time lords. It's been interesting. But let's get serious, here: Do you like my colorful Doctor montage? See, I get to the important issues, don't I? Man, I've been using a lot of rhetorical questions in my writing recently. Just try to ignore that, will you? Thanks.

So, just getting this out there, but was anyone else kind of disappointed with "The Hungry Earth"? I mean, it was intriguing throughout, but the entire episode just felt like Iron Man 2 did to me. It was all character set-up and drawn out suspense scenes. But don't misunderstand me, I still enjoyed the episode. I just felt it was a tad unnecessary, since all the events in "Cold Blood" didn't need that vast of a back-story. Speaking of, " was great. I absolutely ADORE the the Silurians ("Homo reptilia who were Earth's first intelligent inhabitants, cold-blood reptilians with a lifespan of over three centuries who developed a civilisation at least 300 million years before human beings evolved"--BBC Website). Also, I'd like you to note how the legitimate website for the show miss-spelled the word "civilization", and wrote 'cold-blood', rather than 'cold-blooded'. Yes, I AM that particular with spelling and grammar. I have to be. But I digress. Anyway, these Silurians are much more impressive than those of the good old days. Oh, Special Defects, how I love thee.

<-- Alaya is such a bad-ass, and it's awesome.

So, I think I should take a break from "Who Reviews" for a bit, to appeal to half of my readers who have yet to witness how great this season has been. To help prevent myself from further elaboration, I've put together this list of biased opinions on every episode of this season I've seen (and one I haven't yet). Oh, and it's in order of my own favoritism, not in the proper airing order. Here we go:

1. "Amy's Choice": mostly a character episode, which I LOVE. To me it doesn't really matter how impossible or silly the plot is when you've got fun, solid characters. I love them so. Toby Jones was so brilliant in this as the Doctor's dark side 'The Dream Lord'. His delivery was impeccable the entire time (Ex.: "...I've seen your dreams-- some of them twice! Blimey, I'd blush if I had a blood supply...or a real face :D ."). LOVE.

2. "The Eleventh Hour": Again, character episode done right. A great blend of action, humor, and plot establishment. Just a joy...and very fairy-tale.

3. "The Doctor and Vincent": I haven't actually seen this wholly, but I already love it. I'm a HUGE fan of Van Gogh (the man's a genius), and in every scene I've watched with Tony Curran (who plays Vincent) is phenomenal. The resemblance on screen is uncanny.


4. "Flesh and Stone": Fantastic moments of Weeping Angels, River Song, and Amy/Doctor talks? More of that please! River at first put me off a bit as a character, despite my love for Alex Kingston. She was very keen to hammer in our brains that she knew oh-so much more than The Doctor did, which bothered not only our beloved Gallifreyan, but me as well. Now she's grown on me.

5. "The Time of Angels": Very similar sentiments about this one, though I could've done without the angels randomly neck-snapping all over the place. My love for Moffat can't distract me from how not-weeping-angel-like that bit was... he took the greatest, most interesting thing about them, and made it circumstantial. Still, he DID create them in the first place.

6. "Vampires of Venice": Hilarious, mainly. Helen McCrory was brilliant in it; oddly my favorite scene with her was Rosanna Calvierri's freak-out on the staircase over her damaged perception filter. Gold. Absolute Gold. Not to mention the many exchanges between Rory and The Doctor:

7. "The Beast Below": Sophie Okonedo was delightful in this as Liz 10. By the end I did believe she was "the bloody queen, mate. Basically, I rule." The Star-Whale bit with Amy was loverly as well. And I declare the hug between The Doctor and Amy to be the cutest hug ever executed.

8. "Cold Blood": You know what? We've already done this. Good. Night.

9. "The Hungry Earth": This too has been established already, but I'd like to congratulate Alun Raglan for being really interesting in the small part of Mo. I'd like to see him in other things. Oh, and I adore Neve McIntosh as well. Again, Alaya was such a bad-ass. Brilliant.

10. "Victory of the Daleks": I don't really know why I wasn't particularly interested in this one. I found the plot clever and really liked the idea of the Daleks creating people to accomplish their universal domination. So much so, in fact, that I wrote out the first half of a two-part story on the subject of a half-Dalek-Technology family (including a father with a broken body-clock). And Ian McNeice was a brilliant Chruchill, as a side-note. Still, the actual episode didn't stick out for me.

EL FIN.

Rory Respected.

( )






Rory Williams... what a character. What. A. Character. Such a fantastic, truthful idea of a man. Silly as it is, today I would like to quickly pay my respects to the fictional nurse.

Honestly, Rory made me really happy, and Arthur's depiction of him was more than brilliant. He was so believable! And the ideal friend and fiancée as well. I mean, you know you've got your hands on a good man when his only faults are being nervous and insecure. He died honorably, from what I've heard. In America we haven't gotten to "Cold Blood" yet, so I haven't seen Arthur Darvill take a shot for The Doctor yet. I am positive, however, that it will be incredibly well-done. After watching "Amy's Choice" a few days ago, I came to the conclusion that I adore this season. But I digress. The point is, Rory has been amazing, and I will be sad to see him go. Still... there's always that Doctor/Amy thing all the fan-girls have been going on about since the very start. A relationship between those two could be very promising indeed. I look forward to that.


Quote of the day:
"So, I'm about to hit an old woman with a stick... which isn't something I've done before..."
(Arthur Darvill, 'Arthurian Legend Confidential')


PS-- The Doctor Who Confidential for "Amy's Choice" was AMAZING.

'Doctor Who' belongs to the BBC... obviously. Rory photo credit to me, and River Song image provided by google. POW!

Gaga, ooh la la...

Well, it's official. I've converted into a Gaga fan. It was something I'd never say I saw coming, with my strong dislike for everything "Just Dance" or "Poker Face" related. Alack (best word ever), here am I, not really a "Little Monster", but a fan all the same. Alright, enough of this "confession" and over-used quotation marks! Time for fun Doctor-y stuff!

So the Doctor's expression is completely and totally bonkers, yes? But isn't that the best thing about him? Is it weird that I'm only phrasing the first sentences of my paragraph as questions? Am I going to answer that last one? Absolutely, and absolutely. So, the other day I had a pathetic epiphany: The Doctor seems to only own two shirts, two jackets, two pairs of trousers, and (of course) two bow ties; and they all match each other quite fetchingly. Red and blue. I do wonder if Matt Smith will ever be seen on camera with another color... not to say I don't enjoy the reds and blues just fine, because I really do admire the look. And I'd like to congratulate the man on making bow ties far more acceptable to and on young people. But I digress. I'm just curious as to how he gets those two ensembles clean... unless the TARDIS just does it for him, because she's such a sweetie like that... I'm such a nerd.

<--- Look at my bow tie (And wonderfully stupid expression filled with importance and thoughtfulness).

You can never accuse me of not being dedicated to my interests.

Well, I can see you have places to go and things to see... perhaps other blogs to read, even. So, this is where I leave you, scarred with the image of me in a bow tie. Sorry, man.
