Tick Tock Goes the Clock…

So, here’s what you need to know about Doctor Who’s sixth season: An 1104 years old Doctor is shot by an astronaut at Lake Silencio, Utah. Amy, Rory and River witness this and then run into a 906 years old Doctor who takes them to Washington where we meet the Silence. We learn that Amy’s pregnant, but then she’s not. But then Amy really is a ganger and was pregnant. And she gives birth to a daughter named Melody, but who we all know as River Song! River is trained to kill the Doctor and is a Time Lord. However, she gives up her remaining regenerations to save the Doctor. The Doctor learns the date of his death and parts with Amy and Rory. He ages 200 years, has one more adventure with Craig and the Cybermen. And now River is in an astronaut suit at the bottom of the lake.

The Wedding of River Song or “One Heck of a Kiss”

Time has stopped so River doesn’t have to kill the Doctor. So she marries him instead and as a wedding present, the Doctor doesn’t die!

The Doctor’s Swan Song

So, I’ve been thinking about the date they gave for the Doctor’s death in “Let’s Kill Hitler.” It is April 22nd. I was confused because “The Impossible Astronaut” aired the following day, April 23rd. But then I remembered something important—that was the day before Easter. Now, I may be reading too much into this, but this year, April 22nd was Good Friday. And that was throughout Christianity—the Orthodox calendar synced this year. They killed the Doctor on Good Friday, a day about death. Does this signify that like Jesus, the Doctor too will rise on the 3rd day?

Hmm…

Closing Time or “One Last Adventure”

Can I have a cybermat? They look better than guard dogs!

Surprising, Not a Lot of Hitler

In the first half of Series 6 of Doctor Who: The Doctor was killed within the first ten minutes of the premiere. Except it was a future version of the Doctor (I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that it’s really Ganger!Doctor). Then there were Area 51 escapees, President Nixon, an astronaut, a young girl regenerating in the middle of New York and much more Alex Kingston. Later, it was revealed that Amy was a ganger the entire time and was really giving birth in some secret facility. She had a daughter, named her Melody and then had her kidnapped. In an interesting twist, we learned River was Melody. In an annoying twist, we learned River was also a Time Lord.

Time for the rest of Series 6!

Let’s Kill Hitler or “Honey, I Shrunk the Cast!”

Many questions arose from this episode: Does River kill the Doctor? What’s up with the Silence? Did anyone let Hitler out of that cupboard?

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, the Doctor Keeps Marching On

What you need to know before last week’s Doctor Who episode: Amy announced she was pregnant at the end of the first episode. During the second episode, she kept seeing a strange woman everywhere and discovered pictures of herself with a baby. She then tells the Doctor it was a mistake and she wasn’t pregnant. The TARDIS could not determine if Amy was pregnant. Then in the previous episode, it was revealed that Amy was a Ganger! So, Amy’s never been there but rather in some chamber. And she’s ready to pop!

So who wants Amy and her baby? Where has she been this entire time? And how long has Amy been a ganger? I think it was the three month gap between “The Impossible Astronaut” and “Day of the Moon.”
Sorry for the delay. I was out on Saturday and when I came home, I was too tired to recap Doctor Who. So I settled in to watch “iParty with Victorious” (which far exceeded my expectations) and taped Doctor Who instead. And you know how when you have something taped, you tend to forget it because you now have all the time in the world to watch it? Happened to me. I just watched the Tony’s the other day (NPH was awesome). Now, it’s Doctor Who time! Or my friends are going to kill me!

A Good Man Goes to War or “Time to Storm the Barricades!”

The Doctor gathers an army despite 48 years of decrying violence. Despite this, it’s still epic!

That’s One Small Step for Man…

Last time on Doctor Who: Blew. Our. Minds. Within the first fifteen minutes, the Doctor was reunited with Amy, Rory and River in America. He was then shot by an astronaut and died. Then the Doctor—a younger version—comes back. They all go to 1969, where they meet Nixon and former FBI agent Canton. As Amy encounters the Silence, Canton joins the gang in saving the world.

Oh, and Amy’s pregnant.

We can proceed:

Now That’s What I Call a Season Premiere!

It’s no secret that I like Doctor Who. Heck, my most memorable event of 2010 was Matt Smith becoming the Doctor! So I’ve decided to recap Doctor Who. Why haven’t I before? I’m not entirely sure. I know Television Without Pity recaps it, but you can put me in the (apparently long) list of people who HATE Jacob’s recaps. I want to know what happened or laugh at someone’s comment. I don’t want a thesis on existentialism. So, here’s my own recaps.

Elsewhere, I write “The Moron’s Guide to Doctor Who” where I take an episode, rename it and then sum it up in a sentence or two—usually hilariously. I’m going to start each recap with my Moron Guide. Enjoy!

Doctor Who has landed the TARDIS again!
