Or to be in social media circles with Rose-bashers, in which case, why, people, why.
BASICALLY. Kat told me about all these sudden OMG I KNEW IT revelations going around that she was seeing all over her dash about Bad Wolf actually being the TARDIS using Rose's body, and I literally had no choice but to say some things.
You should punch them all in the face. That's so obnoxious and stupid! idk, I just felt like they were so obviously two separate things. uuuuugh I hate Rose haters, Mel, whyyyyy
Fave Moff!Who episode so far, methinks. You're so right, I FELT for this show again. I've had fun with it but I never really felt for it like I used to until this episode and it was wonderful. I saw someone requesting that Gaiman become the new showrunner. LOL. I probably wouldn't object...but anyway.
We got 9/10 TARDIS too which was just a little bit of added extra epic that made me all kinds of happy.
Rory can never leave. That is a fact.
Emo!Doctor is sort of my favorite so the fact we got some really solid, beautiful emotion out of him was glorious. Loved it. It's good to see Matt get the chance to show those emotions in the Doctor.
Yes, this one is neck and neck with Vincent for me right now, and they're so different that it would be hard to pick one as better than the other, but they are both definitely the shining points of the Moff era for me. never mind that neither of them were actually written by the Moff
YEAH IT WAS NICE TO SEE MATT HAVE A GO AT EMO!DOCTOR. Though I saw someone on tumblr being all "mrah mrah Matt's subtlety is so much better than stupid David and his stupid yelling" and I was like INSULT DAVID ON MY DASH AGAIN I WILL END YOU ... somanyfeelings

LOL I keep seeing stuff like this too and getting so tetchy. STOP TRYING TO CANCEL OUT MY AFFECTION FOR ELEVEN/AMY/WHOEVER BY MAKING ME FEEL DEFENSIVE. It is not helping your case. It just makes me want to write odes to Ten/Rose/Martha/RTD.
who played the TARDIS, she is amazing. Surranne Jones- if you watch Single Father, you can see her make out with David Tennant. And apparently she really wants to come back, so... you never know. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing her again. :)
I think it's up to interpretation what combination of Rose + TARDIS = Bad Wolf, but even if you believe that Bad Wolf was mostly the TARDIS speaking through Rose, I don't see how anything that happened in this episode changes or tarnishes anything that happened back then...
okay is it just me or was this week's Rory "death" arc about a thousand times more intense and gutting than any of the times he's "actually died?" LOL it was the opposite for me. Coming on the heels of a discussion last week about how Rory is always dying, I just sort of laughed and went, "Oh, there he goes again." I couldn't really take Amy's grief seriously either... I wanted to, but this is the fourth time we've seen it (and the previous time was just last week). But I definitely don't see how those scenes could have been
( ... )
I love that there are ten actors in Britain and they have all been in Doctor Who and something else and they have all made out with each other.
Yeah, it kind of was undermined by the trillion times that came before, but I just think that's so unfair because this time it was just better. Because it played on Amy's fears and regrets as an actual character, instead of as a girl who was losing her guy. I just basically wish the Pirates episode had never happened, because even removing that would have let this one mean so much more.
DEFINITELY the best episode of the season. I'm trying not to preemptively be sad for what's to come. hahaha.
I KNOW I AM SO DAZZLED BY THIS EPISODE, I AM REVELLING IN IT.
What @ the whole Bad Wolf wank. I haven't seen any of that, nor thought aout it much. I don't think Bad Wolf was the TARDIS personified, she was a weird Rose/TARDIS hybrid, and "the time vortex" =/= "the TARDIS' soul" or whatever. Also, Rose is not the first or last person to say "my Doctor". River said it two episodes ago, no one has accused her of not actually speaking on her own behalf.
Suranne Jones was wonderful, she gave me a Helena Bonham-Carter vibe and since I love Helena Bonham-Carter this is more than welcome. She and Matt Smith had good chemistry together and the banter between the two of them was wonderful. I was less interested in the plot with Amy and Rory running around the TARDIS, but it was still a solid B plot. And I loved the scenes at the end.
ELEVEN HAD EMOTIONS, GUYS. HE WAS SAD ABOUT STUFF. AND IT WAS AWESOME. And Matt Smith can act, so give him good material, plz & ty.
RIGHT? There was so much done right in this episode, I'm still kind of reeling. I didn't expect it to be so good! And also now I'm kind of sad because I don't think I can expect this s6 to stay for long. Which I'm pretty sure you also just said in reply to my comment on your post, but whatever.
