6x04 The Doctor's Wife  
I watched this one with lacunaz and firstofoct.


LOL LOL

DOCTOR/TARDIS OTP 4EVER

I really liked this episode. I was trying not to get very excited for it because I didn't want to build it up, and also because I don't know any of Gaiman's stuff for better or for worse, but I thoroughly enjoyed that, easily my favourite of s6 and easily among my favourites of the Moffat era in general if not my favourite. Idris was awesome and her and the Doctor were cute in a weird "you are the anthropomorphic version of my spaceship" way.

Also, even if it has been a season and a half, ye olde coral consoleroom still = the real TARDIS in my head. So it was fun to see everyone in there.

I don't really have any other thoughts rn. OH WAIT. lol omg @ the Ponds' room having bunkbeds.

In conclusion:

THAT WAS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ENTIRE EPISODE. I literally laughed out loud.

I liked this episode. It's my favorite of series 6 for sure, but I don't know how much that is say ing. I did really like the idea of a personified Tardis, and I loved the idea that the the Doctor and the Tardis kind of stole each other. It was sweet.

BEDS WITH A LADDER!

Yeah best out of 4 isn't that great, but I'll be surprised if anything else in s6 tops it.

Yes! "I wanted to see the universe so I stole a Time Lord and ran away." lol Doctor/TARDIS otp.

I loved that Rory was "the pretty one" XD

And I *loved* getting more emotion out of Eleven. With the boxes ((sniff)) and at the end as Idris is being returned into the TARDIS ... yeah,I cried.

ME TOO LOL. Good taste, TARDIS. And it cracked me up a little that she didn't know either of the companions, like she just can't be bothered to learn their names anymore.

Yes! It was really nice to see him um... have emotions. And Matt Smith was good! He can do it! Just give him the material!

Also, even if it has been a season and a half, ye olde coral consoleroom still = the real TARDIS in my head. This! The saddest part of this episode for me was when House said he was going to delete that room first... I refuse to believe the TARDIS won't recreate it after she rebuilds all the bedrooms. (LOL bunkbeds.)

Also loved the TARDIS believing her name is 'sexy'. XD

LOL I AM SORT OF BELIEVING THIS AS WELL. I don't know why I'm horrified since I had thought the old cosole room was deleted all this time anyway, BUT NOOO. FIX IT, TARDIS. She archives rooms from the future so I am sure she has this somewhere.

YES LOL. "Hello, I'm Sexy."

YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS EPISODE RIGHT AWAY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

I AM PLANNING ON DOING SO THIS AFTERNOON
after re-watching Thursday's Parks&Rec
Kali_thirty2flavors on May 15th, 2011 05:35 am (UTC)
I WAS SO PLEASED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE GIF!

This episode is worth watching. You don't even need to watch the rest of s6 because it's very standalone.
Lizbazcat89 on May 15th, 2011 01:23 pm (UTC)
I shall do so this afternoon.
Kali_thirty2flavors on May 15th, 2011 04:55 pm (UTC)
I approve. I know you've been reading reaction posts but this episode is probably better if you're not spoiled for every little thing (I guess you already know who Idris is, but then tbh you find that out in the first 2 minutes anyway).
lorelaisquared: TARDISlorelaisquared on May 15th, 2011 01:05 am (UTC)
OMG Wasn't it FABULOUS? The Doctor and his TARDIS were just so perfect. I loved how they sort of had this whole sniping back and forth thing going on too. Like the whole thing with the sign on the door saying Pull and him always pushing. I laughed at that because I'm certain I've seen people ranting about that within fandom.

BWAH Bunkbeds! That was rather hysterical! Also, note he didn't answer Rory about whether he has a bedroom? Interesting.

Did you watch the Confidential? If not you should - there are montages of the Doctor and the TARDIS in all configurations - rather epic and awesome. Also, Neil Gaiman is adorable. (And Arthur Durvall wears a horrifically awful shirt).

"Time Lord is just what he is, it doesn't mean he knows what he's doing!" LMAO Amy!


PS _ *snort* LOVE your gif!
Kali_thirty2flavors on May 15th, 2011 04:31 pm (UTC)
Yeah the banter between the two of them was awesome and perfect. LOL @ push vs pull, bwahaha.

The bunkbeds omg lolololol, poor Ponds. Interesting that the Doctor is apparently in charge of bedroom creation. I always kind of assumed the TARDIS did it magically like the Room of Requirement lol.

I did not but I have seen the montage to I Believe in Miracles and it was awesome!

LOL my favourite Amy line was "did you wish really hard?"

lorelaisquared: TARDISlorelaisquared on May 15th, 2011 05:17 pm (UTC)
Push vs Pull was great! LOL TARDIS - oh the things she could call him on. One episode of this is not enough!

LMAO Poor Ponds indeed. I loved that he's like "But it's a bed, with a ladder" completely oblivious to why a married couple may not appreciate this. Yeah I'm with you, I thought it was Room a Requirementy too - although maybe the Doctor can just request things? It seems the TARDIS didn't care much about his companions at this point (Always picking up strays LOLOL) so maybe she gave him more control of their room because she didn't care?

LMAO That montage is AWESOME! DWC needs to do more of them. They amuse me.

LMAO that Amy line was hilarious. I loved the tone in her voice when she said it too! :D LOLOLOL

I like the new TARDIS, it's very pretty, but I LOVE YOU OLD TARDIS, NEVER LEAVE ME. It is the "real" TARDIS in my mind and probably always will be.

Also, even if it has been a season and a half, ye olde coral consoleroom still = the real TARDIS in my head. So it was fun to see everyone in there.

I know, I was like "OH, CORAL, HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!"

And still LOLing about the bunk bed thing. :D

Best episode of this season so far.
Kali_thirty2flavors on May 15th, 2011 04:54 pm (UTC)
Best episode of this season, strong contender for best episode of New New Who, though I haven't decided yet. Loved it.

Me too! Best episode in SO long.

The sad part is that I am pretty sure no other episode is going to live up for a long time, lol.

KALI. I AM IN YOUR S6 REACTION POSTS BECAUSE FOR ONCE YOU ARE CORRECT ON THE INTERNET. THIS EPISODE WAS GREAT. \o/ I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

THE TARDIS. AND THE DOCTOR. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE. omfg why can't every episode have emotions and funny stuff and awesome characters?

Also BUNK BEDS WAS THE GREATEST. VALIDATED FOREVER.

AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE GAIMAN. SO CONFLICTED RN.
Beck: DW - Doc 9 & Rose Fantastic by MRV3000beck_liz on May 15th, 2011 04:12 pm (UTC)
YOU LIKED IT???!!!! YAY!!!! (Haven't gotten to your post yet.)

AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE GAIMAN.

I'm honestly not his biggest fan novel-wise (only gotten through 2.5, and one of those was co-written), but I have always a) liked his comic book series Sandman, and b) his episode of Babylon 5 was my favorite of that season and in my top ten overall. So maybe he just does better outside of novels? IDK.
Opalshinyopals on May 15th, 2011 04:19 pm (UTC)
I WAS SO SURPRISED AT THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I couldn't even watch it last night because I was afraid it might be terrible, but it was GREAT.

Good Omens and this episode are the only things I've read/seen of Gaiman's that I like, and that's not for lack of trying.

also when are you visiting
Kellysweetcherrytree on May 16th, 2011 12:12 am (UTC)
also I'm watching DW Confidential and what the hell is that floppy floral shirt Arthur Darvill is wearing midway through???
Kali_thirty2flavors on May 16th, 2011 12:38 am (UTC)
LOL I don't watch the Confidentials because I don't want Moffat to pop in and ruin everything, but I've seen gifs, and IDEK, he is a huge hipster.
Kellysweetcherrytree on May 16th, 2011 02:29 am (UTC)
I thought this Confidential was pretty great. Moffat had a few gross moments, but they're minimal and you can fastforward through them. Most of it is Gaiman being awesome, and everyone else being awesome.
Beck: DW - Doc 10 & Rose squishbeck_liz on May 15th, 2011 04:15 pm (UTC)
LOVED this episode. So Doctor/TARDIS OTP forever. Loved that she stole him as much as he stole her.

Also, even if it has been a season and a half, ye olde coral consoleroom still = the real TARDIS in my head. So it was fun to see everyone in there.

Indeed. Although I was amused that in the Confidential, people were complaining about how hard the floor grating was to keep falling on. Well, Arthur was, anyway. Karen was "taking it like a man". *snort*
Kali: dw :: amy/rory :: something new_thirty2flavors on May 16th, 2011 01:21 pm (UTC)
OTP! Doctor/TARDIS is really the only ship worthy of being "Doctor/someone" rather than a specific regeneration.

Pffft! Falling on that grating is a noble tradition done by dozens of Doctors and companions before them! And is glass really that much comfier?
