Not this grandma, my other grandma, the one who is currently knitting me a Fourth Doctor scarf (or at least something similar to it, cause she kind of messed up the orangey color and the beigey one. But that’s alright, cause she’s gonna fix it from this point on, and it’s the thought that counts in all honesty, and I love her for that.)
ANYWAY:
We watched The Doctor’s Wife on BBC America while she was knitting The Scarf. Awesome.
First and last time I will post this.
Cheers!
Goddamn.
So, even though I can totally watch it online right now…
I’m gonna wait until 9 pm ET and watch it on TV.
Thanks for the links though, everyone!
BBL, Series 6 marathon on TV.
:)
1) My mom is really stressed about the hurricane, cause we live on Long Island. Half of my town was asked to evacuate, but my half is on higher ground, so we think we’ll be okay, but my mom still freaks out about everything.
2) She rolls her eyes every time I mention Doctor Who
3) We are Jewish
This was my attempt to make her feel better about the storm:
Me: How are you doing?
My Mom: Not so good…
Me: Well…you wanna watch Doctor Who with me later? It might make you feel better.
My Mom: I don’t think so.
Me: An adorkable British badass punches the crap out of Hitler. You sure?
My Mom: Um…maybe.
I don’t get BBC America anymore, and I can’t find somewhere to watch it online/don’t know where it will eventually be posted.
If anyone knows where to watch it online, for my sake and the sake of the 2,524 people following, please respond to this!
(AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU…NO SPOILERS. PLEASE. SERIOUSLY. LIKE I SAID. DASHBOARD. AVOIDING IT LIKE THE PLAGUE. SO YEAH. No spoilers, please! :[ )
Where to watch?
;]
Hahaha Eye-Patch McGee.
And possibly? Maybe the regenerative process is different for every Time Lord/Lady, so that’s why she didn’t remember…unless River is just faking…or the little girl isn’t her…MOFFAT.
I almost feel as though you become brilliant just from being a Time Lord/Lady, considering the experiences you will have and wisdom you will gain.
There’s a code for it, check through the blog archives or the TARDIS cursor tag. :]
Four, Eleven and Eight! But I really do need to see some more of the older stuff. For now though, it’s those three, although each incarnation brings something new to the role!
Currently wedged in the middle seat between her and literally a half dozen of her suitcases, the rest are jammed into the trunk. Currently dividing my time between listening to Neutral Milk Hotel and watching Series 5/6 clips on my phone off of YouTube in anticipation of tomorrow night. In other words…I won’t be home until later, so don’t expect any Doctor Who Problems until then. :]
AKA, the show I just gushed about in my last post. :D
(Guys…I wouldn’t steer you wrong. We’re all Whovians. We like adventure, we like mystery, we like fun, we like sheer brilliance…and that’s what this show is. Adventurous, mysterious, fun, and…well, brilliant!)
Also, Moffat could even pick up a few mind-fucking tips from some of the episodes…
EDIT: Ugh, part 2 of the first episode is missing…that’s okay though.
I swear, after hearing the first 26 seconds of the music, you will be absolutely hooked.

I’ve never seen Being Human! Though it’s on my list. My roommate/best friend is a Sherlock fan as well as a Whovian haha, so I know I need to check out Sherlock as well. Warehouse 13 is on my list, too.
Personally, I love old shows like The Honeymooners and Fawlty Towers. Fawlty Towers is hilarious, and any fan of British comedy who has never seen it before needs to watch it now!
Also, I FUCKING LOVE MST3K.
So…any MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) fans follow me? :D
Also…I loved this show called The Mole, which used to air way back when. It was awesome, Anderson Cooper hosted it before he was really famous, and it was the smartest reality show (if such a thing exists) to ever have aired.
The premise was that there was a group of about 14 or so people, who had to do a number of physical and logical challenges each week. Completion of each task meant a certain amount of money would be added to the pot, and at the end of the show, one player would take home all of the money that was in the pot.
However, one of the players is a double agent, a mole, whose job it is to subtly sabotage each task and put as little money in the pot as possible. Each week, the players would fill out a quiz as to who they thought the mole was, and whoever was the farthest from the answer would be eliminated.
The show kind of encouraged backstabbing and espionage, but in a clever sort of way as opposed to a bitchy kind, and it was really refreshing to see logical puzzles and shrewd thinking on a reality show. Also, it had awesome music, amazing overseas locations, and, once again, Anderson Cooper hosted.
Unfortunately, it only lasted two seasons in this format, and then it became “Celebrity Mole,” full of washed-up actors and “celebrities” that no one really cared about, and they dumbed down the entire premise of the show. Suddenly, the bulk of the mental challenges disappeared, and a show that was once secretive and edgy and awesome became corny and bitchy and stupid.
BUT, they revived the series in 2008, with normal people (but no Anderson :[) and smarter challenges (mixed in with the physical stuff), and the music was better than ever, even getting an Emmy nomination for it!
…And then it disappeared after that. So. Pissed.
HOWEVER, you can find the show on YouTube!!!!!! Yay!!!!
Even if you HATE REALITY TV WITH A PASSION, I can almost guarantee that you will love this show. It’s just so…clever. Perfect, really.
So go ahead and watch it! Right now!
Sounds amazing, y/y?

Watch it here!
Watch it now!
1) Oh no. :[ I’ve literally never gotten that complaint before, so I have no idea why that is…
2)/3) Ugh, I’m nervous about living in the pink area as well…I’m afraid that the internet connection might get knocked out, cause I plan on watching it online (apparently we no longer get BBC America…don’t even start with me on this…). Hmmm…that is most troubling…well, you should either pray for the TARDIS to come and take you away, or just impatiently wait to watch it online somewhere, and AVOID THE REST OF THE INTERNET AT ALL COSTS CAUSE THIS IS THE EPISODE WHERE WE FIND OUT *EVERYTHING* ABOUT RIVER AND YOU KNOW THAT TUMBLR IS GONNA BE SPOILIN’ ERRYTHANG.
