The Day of the Doctor

So this happened.

My my my.

SO, Moffat definitely changed some primary Doctor Who "mythology" and rules in case any Doctor should meet the Doctor.

The biggest most shocking thing: Gallifrey was NOT destroyed! It's stuck in a picture. A picture with two names: 1) Gallifrey Falls; 2) No More. Now, throughout the special, we see that "Gallifrey Falls" comes from the fact that this is the big battle that was occurring right before the Doctor pressed the big red button that destroyed his home planet and all the Timelords and children on it. It's called "No More" because that's what the 8.5th Doctor says and blows into a random wall before he bust through some Daleks and out of the line of fire to destroy the Daleks so the world won't burn, but Gallifrey along with it.

Yes, I call him 8.5. I still don't really understand who he is. I know he's the one that the Doctor tries to forget, and doesn't talk about, but, there's an Eight and there's a Nine. Nine is definitely after the destruction of the Timelords' home planet. So, Eight-point-Five it is.

But it's odd to see how similar the Doctors are even though they are so different!

I particularly enjoyed when all 13 Doctors swooped in to save Gallifrey---or contain it in a photo to be released when it is safe.

We got to see Peter Capaldi in the show for the first time! Or his eyes anyway. None the less, it was exciting.

Anywhoo...

I can't wait for the season to start up again! Yes, we'll be seeing the end of Matt Smith soon, but that's okay because he was never my favorite...

I'm excited for the new start, and a new personality/age/maturity for the Doctor.

Bring it on!

Happy October/Doctor Who

It's October! 

This is my one of my favorite times of the year for three reasons:

1. My birthday! (The day before Halloween)
2. Halloween: Adults still get to dress up!
3. The day after Halloween marks the beginning of the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years season and Christmas music is right around the corner!

So, in celebration of Halloween, I wanted to carve pumpkins, like I do every year. THEN, my roommate and fiancé say they've never carved pumpkins before. Never. Naturally, I made them, and made fun of their "deprived childhood" the whole time.

They enjoyed it. My roommate made the B.A.B., and my fiancé made the face.

I, of course, had to get more creative and fan-based, so I made the TARDIS shooting through time and space. It turned out pretty good for a free hand design and a rotted pumpkin. (I waited a little too long to pick some up.)

Speaking of the TARDIS, the 50th anniversary

special is coming up next month! I heard they're showing in in theatres in Europe. THEN I heard that they were doing it in America, but only the big cities. BUT one of my fellow newscast workers alerted me that they WILL be showing it in OKC at my favorite movie theater! It'll be a few days after the big premiere, but that's okay since I normally have to wait a few days to see the new episodes later. I'm thrilled. Doctor Who night out!

I'll take lots of pictures. Hopefully people dress up...

Happy October!
