The only one of these I’ve gotten to is the sixth one (and… possibly the third, if I’m interpreting hints and the TARDIS Data Core wiki correctly?). But reblogging anyway.

for my partner, who loves eight. <3

i don’t have the time or energy to talk about all of the numerous things that were horrible about the name of the doctor so i’m just going to talk about one thing that probably very few people noticed or care about: the doctor’s name as his identity.

Truth Corner: I have five Doctor Who episodes just sitting on my DVR, and I can’t bring myself to watch them. I could barely make it through the Russian submarine ep…I know Gatiss prides himself on being scary, but that whole episode was a rip off of a Disney Land ride. Booorrriiinngg I just…I find myself losing interest, and that pains me. I used to love this show, but everything about it at the moment…all the Moffat “Gotcha!” and “Ooooh, we’re so clever to think of this convoluted storyline that will eventually collapse upon itself like a flan in a cupboard” congratulatory circle-jerk crap just makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I’ll get around to watching them. I’m not quitting the show, I just need a break. 

they are all absolutely terrible. 

i’m sorry. i’m so sorry.

i’m sorry

but if you liked that doctor who then we can’t be friends

thanks to whatever asshole capped this and spoiled it for the rest of us, i’m pretty sure i’m not even going to watch the season finale because it looks like a steaming pile.

i remember when this show was good.

“What’s Wrong With Stephen Moffat?”
Rebloggable by request

to be clear i don’t agree with all of this. amy was at times an excellent character, and river wasn’t originally as bad as she is now. moffat’s quality of writing and producing has declined sharply since he has been the showrunner. he succeeded in making me hate a showiI once loved, and i will never forgive him for that.

i quit after 8 minutes. it’s even worse than last week. fuck this fucking show, goddammit.

The difference between Ten & Eleven.

THANK YOU. this bugged the CRAP out of me.

Oh right, that. I was actually more bothered by the fact that she couldn’t understand the alien, since we’ve been told on multiple occasions that the TARDIS automatically translates any language (and indeed she has no trouble communicating with anyone else). The door thing I was willing to let slide, but he beat the goon dudes basically through brute force with his sonic, which I feel is pretty contradictory to who the Doctor is. He’s supposed to be the clever one, and there was nothing clever about his actions here.

there is precedent: the tardis also doesn’t translate judoon (the rhino-headed mercenary police people who showed up in martha’s first episode), but that’s apparently because their language is universal law (according to the wiki). i would have been fine if there was a reason the barking wasn’t translated, but like with the brute force use of the sonic, this episode was all about flash and not about character or logic.

ugh okay here is a short summary of why “the rings of akhaten” was terrible, no spoilers.

  • the plot didn’t actually make sense
  • little bits of the plot were confusing and unexplained (not just the story as a whole)
  • weird racism
  • clara has no discernible character
  • the doctor’s character was ruined for no particular reason
  • the big dramatic thing at the end meant to solve the problem was actually so incredibly wrong that it’s an embarrassment to the writers and producers of the show
  • the sonic screwdriver was overused
  • moffat sucks

My brother emailed me to ask me if I had one of my mother’s socks.

I thought this was stupid.

And I’d been watching too much Doctor Who.

…and I had nothing to do on my lunch break

“enjoy” our exchange. 

1. trin is the actual best

2. that sock ain’t never coming home. it’s had a taste of life with the doctor.
