Most of my followers expect Doctor Who related posts, I made a Police Box Ring that I occasionally post about, and my username is a reference to a specific strip of an out-of-print newspaper comic (Some people got it!). I grew up with video games and television (people like this are rare, I'm sure) and am currently employed as a jeweler CAD technician. Quite often those two things interject.

It’s no secret that when Doctor Who does auditions for a new companion or Doctor, they often have them audition under a secret nonexistent show.
So if anybody is related to, or friends with, someone auditioning for a show that mysteriously anagrams with “Twelfth Doctor”, such as “Crowd Theft Lot” or something, please do the responsible thing and tell freaking everybody.
Has it ever occurred to anyone that when Clara was first asked when and where she wanted to go she drew a blank so she just ending up going everywhere at once?
I think as an funny Easter Egg the credits of one of the Doctor Who episodes should say the part of “Please” is played by Matt Smith.
I have forgotten the exact message I sent, but this was in response to the idea of a “The Silence” movie involving a group of people (in pre 1969) completely unrelated to the Doctor trying to figure out The Silence on their own.
So… Did anyone else get their pre-order early? This is a HUGE mistake via BBC America, one I’m very happy to be victimized by. I get to see Nightmare in Silver AND The Name of the Doctor early!
So, I feel like I have the awesome power of being able to spoil something really really big in the palm of my hands but I refuse sir, I REFUSE! Just know that The Name of the Doctor is a seriously game-changing episode. And that Clara’s explanation will BLOW classic Whovians out of the water.
You have a stronger will than I. If I were in your position, I would have posted a bunch of false spoilers all day.
“Doctor’s name is ‘Whom’, M faded on ID badge”
“Clara turns out to be Doctor 8.5, Soap Opera style amnesia is why he doesn’t remember.”
“River has no clue who the Doctor is, was expecting face of Doctor 12—part played by Gilbert Gottfried”
“Chameleon circuit fixed, TARDIS now in shape of DeLorean”
“Matt Smith has new catchphrase. ‘Skit scat scoodle-doot, flip flop FLEE!’”
On Saturday I went to a Doctor Who discussion panel committee congregation of whovians at DePaul university in Chicago. Basically there were panels of people, who thought more and deeper about the show than I ever did, discussing pretty much all aspects of the show. Like 45 minute episode plots vs seven 22 minute episode plots (ala Old Who). What they mentioned was the Old Who format allowed for more character depth and mystery solving (none of this nilly “let’s convince the bomb not to blow up through the power of love” nonsense). However, the smaller broken up episode format created too many cliffhangers, and padding episodes in the middle. They agreed that the 45 minute episodes would do better if the show wasn’t cranked up to 11 all of the time.
Alien Entertainment was there. They’re always there, they’re never not there.
At least two of the editors (I don’t know how many there are) of “Chicks Dig Time Lords” were there. I’ve never read the book, but I assume it’s about digging Time Lord fossils. Also, John Barrowman’s sister was there (Captain Jack Harkness’ Actor’s sister) with some funny stories, at least two of them involving John’s naked ass.
Then there was the writer of the Dalek episode (the episode with Rose and Nine first encountering a Dalek) with live commentary. A couple of highlights are:
All in all, a good day. Plus, there was a Chipotle attached to the building.
Also, there was some geeky standup at the variant stage. He was funny. Should’ve taken video.
So I hear its Sonic Sunday.
I think the BBC should make a released in theater scary movie based on Doctor Who’s monster known as “The Silence”. A movie that doesn’t involve the Doctor at all. It’s an entire species; I’m sure “Bother the Doctor” isn’t everything they do. In order to appeal to a wider mass audience you could remove the time travel and just make it a movie about Earth and an alien species that has been here forever.
It would probably have to take place before 1969 for reasons obvious to DW fans. The way I imagine it, it could start when a psychologist tries to find out why we forget why we forgot why we walked into a certain room (later discovering that we were usually trying to get away). Or it could take place after 1969 and the previously unmentioned characters come across documents from Nixon’s presidency.
Fun fact: The original footage of the first moon landing is missing. I would most definitely incorporate this into the movie.
The Silence are being murderlized (a word I just innovented) left and right so obviously they would destroy the footage causing them problems. Then you’d have a population split between those given the command to kill and those who have not. I do not believe the movie should mention that the Doctor spliced the footage and the characters merely believing the government did it.
Thoughts?

I’m sensing a pattern.
What on earth did I just see?? :’D
We just saw what 5,000 years of human civilization was leading up to.
This quote leads me to believe that Moffat isn’t in charge of what spoilers the Doctor Who blog posts and doesn’t post. I mean, we knew about the departure of two companions, name and face of the new one, the alleged “distant Doctor”, what the new TARDIS interior looked like, that recent spoiler about Neil Gaiman’s episode being about a human Sonic Screwdriver, etc. weeks in advance of the new episode.
Still, without a new name or face to replace him, I shall continue to place all the blame on Moffat for every spoiler I hear about every show on every network.
