“The tracks of my tears.”

crawling_in_my_skin.mp3

I’m interested in the possibility that the ‘crime’ Doctor Hurt committed might be something other than the use of The Moment to wipe out the Daleks and Time Lords.
My reasoning:

• The Doctor has certainly felt guilty and lonely about how he ended the Time War, but never (at least I think) to the point where he’d disown/mentally repress the entire incarnation of himself that did the action. Think of the times he has cited the Time War for badass cred (“Fear me. I’ve killed all of them.” “I watched it happen! I MADE IT HAPPEN!”) I don’t think he’s ever designated it as “breaking the creed of the Doctor” “it wasn’t me who did that” etc. before.
• Interestingly, Doctor Hurt says he did whatever it was “in the name of peace…and sanity.” The mention of sanity makes it sound rather personal. His own sanity? The reason he ended the Time War was to save the lives of everyone else in the universe, not just their sanity or his own sanity. So why the emphasis on sanity? I’ve said sanity too many times help.

Rumours aside, it seems fairly obvious that Doctor Hurt will slot in between 8 and 9 as that’s the only place you can really slot in a missing Doctor. This way you’re only fucking with New Who rather than Classic Who (*cough* unlike, say, explaining the Master’s malicious behaviour throughout the series as the result of a psychic signal put in his mind by the Time Lords as a child *cough*). And given that the area between 8 and 9 is largely an unknown variable anyway, you’re not even fucking with established New Who that much.

People need to quit moaning about numbers btw. The Doctor doesn’t feel the need to include Hurt in the count*, so neither should you.

*(EVEN THE DOCTOR SKIPPED NINE. HAHAHAHA)

Awesome episode. Might be my favourite of the season, and if not it’s at least in the top 3. I have some mystery things and other assorted reactions.

hey here’s your doctor who blu ray a week before the last episode airs

hey here are some extremely spoilery promo photos for the last episode

What is wrong with the world this week?

The Doctor unceremoniously dumps Clara’s unconscious body on the floor, runs to the TARDIS doors and hauls them open, to reveal—

Adric, riding the Kandyman.

As the Doctor claws his own face to pieces in sheer horror, Adric bellows into the camera, “I know the Doctor’s name! It’s————”

Cut to black.

TO BE CONTINUED NOVEMBER 23rd

THE TWIN DILEMMA 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

“If everyone keeps the secrets safe until next Saturday we will release a special new clip featuring material of the Tenth AND Eleventh Doctor!”

HAHAHAHAHAHA BBC YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

Amazing. This is going to be the shitstorm of our times. It almost makes me wish I hadn’t blocked myself from viewing any Who discussion places

My favourite moment of the new Cybermen in Nightmare in Silver was when they were reaching out, in that almost longing way, to softly take Clara and co. by the necks and upgrade them.

In fact I might even say this was the one point at which they really had the creeping, off-human chill to them, rather than the clunking battle robot feel NuWho yet again refuses to shake off.

Ugh, god I’m so scared. What if some shitty little twunt at one of our trash-ass British tabloids finds out about some controversial plot twist and they spoil it like it was a soap in their worthless little rag and I see it mentioned somewhere in some place somehow

The paranoia is consuming. I’m going to scream.

‘…spoilers are spreading like wildfire…’

I just felt my heart quicken. This is intense, I feel like I’m in some kind of shelter and if I open the door even a crack the zombies will get in.

To top it all off I’ve got TWO EXAMS ON FRIDAY.

This isn’t going to be a good week for me, is it?

Doctor Who TV has closed down comments until the 18th following the TNotD leaks.

Major, major respect.

Adding the ‘the name of the doctor’ tag to that list and I have no idea why I didn’t to begin with because jfc jfc jfc

Dark times. Still safe but I feel like I’m walking a fucking minefield.
