all I gaf about are my victorian silurian girlfriends and a sontaran declaring war on the moon, tbh. I would take an entire season of vastra and her sidekick fighting crime.
autophanous 27th-Nov-2012 12:51 am (UTC)
oh fuck what a terrible way to start the page
jackiemust_die 27th-Nov-2012 12:54 am (UTC)
tbh, i want new aliens now. Not that i don't like Vastra and crew but c'mon. The whole of time and space and we're still stuck in our own backyard
autophanous 27th-Nov-2012 12:55 am (UTC)
I would kill for a new alien companion rather than young white british girl who has complicated feelings for the doctor. :|

at least we're out of quarries, I guess.
hateistoodark 27th-Nov-2012 01:05 am (UTC)
I need a break from daleks and cybermen.
celtic_thistle 27th-Nov-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
It physically pains me how little of a fuck I give about the Silurians. Moffat's aliens/villains are terrible.
vehiclesshockme 27th-Nov-2012 12:53 am (UTC)
I wish they would bring back Canton.

I was about to ask you why you're using a halloween icon but then it dawned on me.
vehiclesshockme 27th-Nov-2012 12:55 am (UTC)
It's multi-seasonal!
violue 27th-Nov-2012 12:54 am (UTC)
My mom started watching this show on Netflix about a week ago... she'd somehow never heard of it... I never liked it though so we can't even bond over it(;_;).

She came out of her room all horrified when they switched Doctors this weekend.

My mother was furious when Nine regenerated into Ten, lmfao.
angelmonster 27th-Nov-2012 12:56 am (UTC)
So are we getting more recycled aliens? I am tired of the machine men, Daleks, angels, etc etc. lets move on.
_thirty2flavors 27th-Nov-2012 12:59 am (UTC)
Well, the Snowmen~~~ are new. Vastra and Strax are returning characters so they're recycled aliens I guess, Moffat Who keeps trying to make Silurians happen.
bodyline 27th-Nov-2012 01:03 am (UTC)
Moffat's obsession with the Silurians is baffling.

I doubt we've seen the last of the angels

I mean they're his creation and (one of) the only reason(s) anyone thought he was worth anything back in the Don't Blink era

He'll never let them die for the sake of his own legacy

HAY GAIZ I KNOW I'VE RIPPED THE VERY SOUL OUT OF WHO AND EVERYTHING IN THE SHOW SUCKS NOW, BUT REMEMBER WHEN I WROTE THOSE AWESOME STANDALONE EPISODES? HERE, ANGELS, REMEMBER?? PLZ LOVE ME
celtic_thistle 27th-Nov-2012 01:15 am (UTC)
Moffat's aliens and villains FUCKING SUCK. The Silence isn't scary. The Angels aren't scary. (They were kind of creepy in Blink but then he drove them into the ground just like EVERYTHING ELSE.) I can't even think of any more off the top of my head because they're so dumb. The "good" or "neutral" aliens are annoying and forgettable as well. no1curr about the Silurians or the blue head in the box.

I get so heated about this shit.
squirrels_oh_no 27th-Nov-2012 01:00 am (UTC)
I only watched this season for Ben Browder and they killed off his character within 30 minutes so I really DGAF about the rest of it.
yurasama_love 27th-Nov-2012 03:32 pm (UTC)
Same here. I was not here for that shit.
tankmachine 27th-Nov-2012 01:03 am (UTC)
can we just get rid of Moffat first
exlenne 27th-Nov-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
bless your perfect existence
manubibi 27th-Nov-2012 01:03 am (UTC)
She looks like Oswin.
_thirty2flavors 27th-Nov-2012 01:06 am (UTC)
lol it's Jenna Louise Coleman, it's the same actress.
manubibi 27th-Nov-2012 01:26 am (UTC)
Oh, now it's clear, thanks xD
then here's the reason why she was called the next companion and everybody thought it was trollfat killing the companion on the season premiere BUT
bodyline 27th-Nov-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
Same actress.
x_rose_tyler_x 27th-Nov-2012 01:06 am (UTC)
I honestly didn't hate series 6, I wasn't too keen on the first half of series 7 (I did like Asylum idgaf) but I'm looking forward to Oswin/Clara. Maybe cause Jenna-Louise Coleman is adorable

_thirty2flavors 27th-Nov-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
Same. Like in my heart of hearts I know it'll probably be as much of a mess as I thought s6 and s7 were, but I'm really excited for JLC to mix it up. I was getting really really bored of the Matt/Karen/Arthur combo even though I love KGill.
x_rose_tyler_x 27th-Nov-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
Aw, I love Karen and the Babes but tbh I agree that it just couldn't go on for any longer. I mean, I even got bored of Tennant, I'd eventually get bored of them too. Which is why I hate people who are stuck on old companions/Doctors so much. Like, you can love someone a lot, but the whole point of Doctor Who is that it changes, you know?
hateistoodark 27th-Nov-2012 01:09 am (UTC)
Their chemistry can make it enjoyable tbh.
adam_pally 27th-Nov-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
IA I think the first half of S7 lacked because everyone including the actors were ready for Amy/Rory to move on. Just basing on the CIN intros and Jenna as Oswin in AOTD sh'll be a great companion.
belladonnastrap 27th-Nov-2012 01:21 am (UTC)
She is so damn adorable.
adam_pally 27th-Nov-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
The 1st part of S7 has been kinda lacking but looking forward to Clara being the new companion.

Even in those intros from CIN you can tell Matt and Jenna have good chemistry together.
hateistoodark 27th-Nov-2012 01:07 am (UTC)
Hot ass mess promo poster as usual.
I really want Clara to be awesome.
I will laugh myself into a coma if there's ~tension between her and Eleven because i know the fandom will rage.
x_rose_tyler_x 27th-Nov-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
I kinda want it to be just to piss off the Eleven/Amy shippers tbh. LOOK AT HIM, HE DOES IT WITH EVERYONE, haha.
hateistoodark 27th-Nov-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
It would also work for River/Eleven shippers so it would be entertaining as fuck.
empirebird 27th-Nov-2012 01:09 am (UTC)
I hope she's awesome. I don't need another woman whose main job is to cry or yell "doctor" or fall in love with the doctor cuz he's so mysterious~ and awesome~. Just get him a mate! Donna was perfect!
exlenne 27th-Nov-2012 01:11 am (UTC)
Donna :(

I WILL NEVER STOP GRIEVING
empirebird 27th-Nov-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
Donna was legit PERF!
exlenne 27th-Nov-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
I had a wonderful dream last night.

It turned out that an evil witch had cast a spell on half of the Whovian fanbase that made them blind and deaf, but the Doctor came into our dimension and destroyed the witch and so everyone woke up to what a hack Moffat was and he was fired and laughed out of the industry never to be seen or heard from again. Matt Smith, loyal to the end, chose to step out of the shoes and make way for the 12th Doctor rather than continue on without Moffat. The new showrunner, a true hero to all, retconned the fuck out of Moffat Who and restored peace and order to all of the galaxies in all of time and space, and Doctor Who finally had a soul again.

And then it became a nightmare, because I woke up. And cried. I'm still crying.
jackiemust_die 27th-Nov-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
Is that the Capital building in DC and Big Ben? so is this going to take place in the US and in London??
_thirty2flavors 27th-Nov-2012 01:17 am (UTC)
I think it's St Paul's.
mistyraven 27th-Nov-2012 01:15 am (UTC)
I can't seem to get excited for this. I think I only stuck around this long because I enjoyed the dynamic between Matt, Karen, and Arthur, even though they had to deal with a lot of shit writing. I just wasn't feeling Clara/Oswin/whatever in the Dalek episode though... I mean I'll give this a shot, but eh.
hateistoodark 27th-Nov-2012 01:17 am (UTC)
Also i think River shouldn't show up too soon.
Eleven should get to know Clara and so should we, before making it complicated with River/Ponds baggage.
_thirty2flavors 27th-Nov-2012 01:18 am (UTC)
I think River's going to be in the finale and I'm so pressed. Can't we just have one finale where Clara gets to do her thing without River there, River-ing.
hateistoodark 27th-Nov-2012 01:22 am (UTC)
What i love the most about the doctor and his companions is when they build their trust and friendship tbh and i think having her around will fuck shit up.
x_rose_tyler_x 27th-Nov-2012 01:29 am (UTC)
This is exactly why I didn't like the series 4 finale where everyone was showing up or Rose showing up on all over series 4 (I absolutely love Martha and even I thought her episodes in s4 were useless). I feel like if you have a companion their series should be THEIR series and I hate people showing up. I didn't mind River in these three last series because she was related to Rory/Amy but now that they're gone she needs to gtfo.
celtic_thistle 27th-Nov-2012 01:18 am (UTC)
If we never saw River again I would not even notice or care.
toilandblood 27th-Nov-2012 08:25 am (UTC)
personally i like river but her character got really... needy. i think clara definitely needs her time alone with him though so people can accept her as the new companion.
