Good men don’t need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many.

Also…
I think it’s testament to Matt Smith’s acting prowess that the very idea of the Doctor mating with Amy Pond to create a super-child is freaking me out now.
I used to ship them, see?
Now I just think the very idea of it is disgusting.
Really? The Doctor and Amy? Pfft.
—> Obviously I am now all for The Doctor and River Song. Also, Amy and Rory. But perhaps Rory and The Doctor is okay, too.
Careful, That’s My Exploded Brain on the Floor
**Alright, here be spoilers**
I just saw Day of the Moon, which is the 2nd part of Doctor Who Series 6’s season opener.
What can I say?
A lot. Really.
I am freaking excited.
So many questions, none of the answers.
**Seriously, here be spoilers. Get out, get out, get out now.**
Well. This is the saddest thing I’ve seen in forever. Excuse me while I continue sobbing.
crying tears of rassilon
Well now I feel like someone punched me in the stomach
Oh my god.
I literally burst out in tears.
…..just when I thought I was done crying…..
Oh ;_;
my heart just fell into my stomach
oh my goodness
Even the TARDIS can’t hold my creys right now.
Goodbye, dear companion.

Wibbley-Wobbley, Timey-Wimey Thoughts Before Doctor Who Returns
There are a gazillion things running in my head when I think of Doctor Who, but writing them down is proving to be much more difficult than I expected.
I’ve attempted a nostalgic look at my foray into the show, but it quickly devolved into a lengthy recollection of how I went from “James Marsters is Capt. John Hart!” to “OMG Doctor Who is the best show ever!!!1!!11!”
Paragraphs escape me at the moment, so allow me to just list things. Just list them, without order or particular direction, because my brain is exploding and April 23 is a few weeks away and goddammit Doctor Who is taking up too much space in my head.
- Doctor Who is fun. It can have the most dramatic storylines in the world, like Human Nature and Family of Blood, for example, but at the end of the day, Doctor Who is always a fun romp. It’s a wonderful exploration, no matter how dark the subject matter becomes at times. It can be painful, it can be melancholy (the Van Gogh episode reduced me to tears) but always there is the child-like wonder that defines the show.
- The Doctor is hot. This is not always evident. I suppose it takes a certain kind of person (me, really) to find Tom Baker “hot”. But Paul McGann is good-looking (the hair puts me off a bit), Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith are all adorable in the geeky/hot way.
- Addendum to above: we should not attempt to sex up the Doctor. Really. It’s kind of disgusting when you think about it. He’s a grandfather. Really. Think about that a bit. Although I must admit that William Hartnell is incredibly sexy, the reality is that The Doctor is kind of not a regular human being (obviously) and is 900 effing years old. That’s like attempting to picture your grandfather in sexually compromising positions.
- I just figured out the item above after Matt Smith took the role. The guy is so grandfather-y you actually believe his objections to Amy Pond’s sexual overtures (I’m straight and yet I would not have said no). And he’s so young. That’s really odd, but great for the show.
- It’s all David Tennant’s fault. That sex machine vibe was all his doing. Ugh. Why do you have to be all up in our sex radars, David Tennant? Why?
- Now that I think about it, another season of Nine would’ve been lovely.
- There’s so much Doctor Who I haven’t seen. I’m still working through Classic Who, and now there’s Big Finish audios? Dear god there is not enough time in the world.
- I love the companions. I love them all. Some I love more than others. I confess to shipping Ten and Rose (I’m awfully sorry, but I am not always a purveyor of good taste), but really my favourite companion of New Who will always be Donna. I wanted to slap RTD because of Donna Noble’s eventual fate. You do not give someone the opportunity to save the universe then wipe their minds after they succeed. There’s some clause about this in the Geneva Convention, I’m sure.
- Donna is the best companion not because she and Ten were romantically compatible. All jokes of “are you married” aside, the chemistry between Ten and Donna stems from their “I just want a mate” situation.
- And that’s basically what The Doctor and his companion should have: friendship. To assume more is to ruin The Doctor like the last few episodes of Ten did. I love you, DT, but so much emo. Ugh.
- This realisation will not stop me from reading stupid fanfics.
- April 23 can’t come soon enough.
THIS QUOTE IS MY NEW FAVOURITE THING IN THE WORLD.
Terrifying Fact Number Two, is that I’ve just watched Matt Smith carrying a flaming torch on screen. Oh, it’s for such a thrilling scene in Episode 12. Really and truly, magnificent and epic. A proper movie moment. But never mind that, it’s Matt carrying a FLAMING TORCH. Look, Matt’s lovely, he’s a magnificent, brand new, hilarious, heartbreaking, heroic Doctor — but the fact is, if that man walks into a room with a coffee then it’s only so long before you’re wearing it. No, really, clumsiest man on earth. He walks like he’s in a constant state of surprise at his own limbs. I remember when he turned up at a Worldwide meeting really early on, and the first thing he did was spill a cup of coffee over a rather lovely woman. Naturally she giggled, flushed and introduced her mother. (Ahh, life when you’re Matt ! I accidentally made eye contact with the same woman — she phoned the police and shot me in the face.) On the way out he apologised to a completely different woman for the coffee incident. “That was the wrong woman,” I said, as he went out the doors. “Nope,” he replied, “That was the second cup.”
Oh, and there was the top secret, very special, extra readthrough for Episode 10 (I’m talking that up, but what the hell) and Matt came striding in with a GUITAR ON HIS BACK. I have honestly never seen a whole roomful of people flatten themselves against a wall with such a high-pitched squeal of terror. Except Karen, of course, who trotted along behind him without a care in the world. Oh, the horror as the Doctor spun and chatted and coffeed a series of delighted women. How that guitar arced and scythed! Swish! Get down, Karen! Swish! Karen, save yourself! Swish! Not her face, Matt, NOT HER FACE!! Ah, the memories. You know, to this day I’m not sure if Matt knew he had a guitar on his back — he might just have collided with a musician.— Steven Moffat, DWM Production Notes

My Tumblr is turning into a Doctor Who tumblr but come on how can you not reblog such adorableness?
Oh god. Matt Smith you can spill coffee on my any day.

SWEET BABY DAVROS ON A DALEK. I should stop trying to form coherent words and phrases right now…I think my brain is burning…
These pictures are almost as mind bending as the trailer. But in a totally different and more confusing way.
Pogi.
