And so it begins.
A Good Man Goes to War has officially aired in the UK and US. It’s out there. Floating around the internet like a giant glob of red dye, leaving ugly stains wherever it connects with something else. This week is, for those of us operating in Real Time, not going to be easy.
In the half hour I was on the internet this morning I had two close encounters during which I made a strangled noise and rapidly closed a tab. And I didn’t even go anywhere dangerous. Most of the internet is now off limits.
I have to go to Quidditch on Monday and there’s a seriously high chance that at least two of my team mates will have seen it. The next seven days will feature a lot of singing loudly and punching people until they shut up. I have no doubt.
The Almost People was bad enough. It marks something of a milestone. Progressing from the numerous mental, emotional and physiological scars which he is responsible for, Steven Moffat actually caused me physical harm.
Following last night’s episode I was leaping around the lounge room trying to dispel some of the enormous amount of pent up EMOTION I’d suddenly been furnished with, when I connected with the lounge. I am therefore, holding Mr Steven Moffat Sir personally accountable for the large bruise on my upper thigh.
That right there is some pretty powerfully scripting sir. I salute you.
I really want to go back and watch the full series again. I feel as though, by not being in the right mood for it, I did The Impossible Astronaut a serious disservice. This series has the makings of being the best ever. As much as a adore series 5, and it will always hold a special place, series 6 is already so much more. Moffat (and co) have once again proved me wrong. Never, ever underestimate or doubt him. He is God after all.
THEORY ALERT
This is a week when speculation is both almost irresistible and very, very dangerous. But here’s a few things that I think won’t change by next week.
(WHO AM I KIDDING? NEXT WEEK IS WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGES!)
1- I know there’s absolutely nothing worse than people with theories who feel the need to have their ‘I told you so’ moment but…space midwife. Just saying.
2- I think Space and Time need re-watching. I know they were stand alone mini-episodes but I think there are clues hidden there. They were the first moment when Amy showed sighs that something was wrong.
3- Going right back to the series trailer- the scenes with the creepy dolls do not have Amy in them.
4- The Doctor and his Ganger discussed cybermats. With almost no context. There was just a random throw away reference to a cybermat. Can everyone say PLOT POINT?
