33 Week Challenge Week 4: Doctor Who

Challenge no. 20 Become a Doctor Who fan – I was going to edit this post and make it a bit more rounded out, but I’ve decided I love it just the way it is, nawww.

The intrepid journey of a (potential) brand new Doctor Who fan…

I thought that the best way to document my foray into the world of Doctor Who is to keep a word document open as I watch and just jot down anything that comes to mind. So here goes. What follows is the account of a Doctor Who virgin throwing herself into season 5 and all that Matt Smith can offer her.

Episode 1: The Eleventh Hour

Isn’t that a title usually reserved for the end of things? I feel like that’s probably important.

Ok, Doctor falls from sky into child’s yard. This kid is unusually brave – I was convinced there were scary things in my backyard all the time when I was her age. If a man in a police box landed there and started raving about apples and vomiting up magic dust I would be cowering behind my mum, not inviting him inside. Lucky her, I wish I was brave.

Great. She doesn’t have a mum. I’m a terrible human.

Hahahahaha – the Doctor just voiced my concerns.

….

Wow I got enthralled so intensely I forgot to write stuff down for 40 minutes.

Notes: Amy is hot. Also I totally knew she was a fake cop.

Oooo wedding dress – predictable but also dun dun dunnnn

That was amazing.

Episode 2: The Beast Below

This show is the master of catchy opening scenes

*I* want to fly in space with the Doctor holding my ankles…

Surely the monarchy wouldn’t last this long?

The Tower of London? Nice.

I want a starwhale! How can this show make me want so many not real things?

Episode 3: Victory to the Daleks

DALEKS! They’re somehow adorable

Churchill and The Doctor, comrades in bowties

I take it back; Daleks are the most irritating ever.

Amy is left alone with Winston Churchill – now if that isn’t interesting conversation, nothing is.

Doctor threatens daleks with a jamdrop… that is a man I can respect. More problems should be solved with jamdrops.

The Daleks use words like paradigm and continuum – it’s like there are year 12 English teachers trapped inside those metallic bodies somewhere. “Marginalise. Foreground. Discourse. Exterminate.”

Don’t think I haven’t noticed the reoccurring crack in… Space? Time? Spacetime?

Hooked. Should probably eat some dinner, it’s 9pm.

Episode 4: Time of the Angels … I’ve heard about this one, apparently I won’t be able to sleep. Going to risk it.

I’m boiling pasta while watching, who’s this wench? Will she make Amy jealous? Is Amy meant to be jealous? There’s something weird going on there but I’m not sure yet if it’s actual awkward sexual tension.

Everyone speaks English – babel fish?

If I blink it will come out of my mac…

Also, good pasta Lizzy, nice work.

BUT WHAT IF THEY’RE ALL ANGELS?

Guys going off on their own? Yeah… they’re going to die

Yep. Dead.

Fucking picked it! Oh my god I’m never going to sleep.

To be Continued?! But I need to go to bed. Hmmm… maybe one more would be ok… (this is clearly a trap).

Episode 5: Flesh and Stone

Ok, so I went to bed. I rejoin you now, a few days later, to continue my journey in the world of the Doctor…

The crack! The crack is back. Hello there crack!

Seriously, these angels are terrifying. AND they took his jacket. That was a nice jacket.

*I* want a forest in a space ship.

Is the crack following Amy?

Also that was sweet… I hope they love each other some day *squishy face*

Haha the soldier’s name is Marco and they are trying to find things… Polo?

My mum called, I don’t think she understands how important this is.

AHHHHH!!!

Oh, kisses! But weird, not good kisses. Now I feel all sorts of things.
