YOU GUYS I TOLD YOU SO

BECAUSE SHE IS AMY. I FULLY, FULLY TOLD YOU SO. I CALLED IT.

(I'm going to look really dumb if she's not Amy, aren't I)

Series 6 Monsters

So Doctor Who TV has released an updated list (with pictures!) of all the monsters to be found in Series 6. Here are my (very brief) thoughts on each one. Also, keep in mind that I'm just forming my thoughts off of what I see in the pictures/descriptions, and that the Moff might just be his regular twisted self and not throw out any of these in the actual episodes.

1). Greys/"Silents"

First off, nice suit. Second off, this looks delicious and creepy with a sort of Slender Man vibe to it, even though it's far more defined than Slender Man was ever supposed to be. The big "alien" head with big "alien" eyes looks like a throwback to the days of smaller budgets, but I sort of like the whole classic feel of this.

2). Ood

Say what you want about them (I've seen quite a lot of Ood-hate in the forums I frequent) but I fucking LOVE the Ood. I love the dichotomy of what their appearance suggests versus what they actually are, and I love how they can switch from pitiful to terrifying and back again. Most of all I love their polite British voices informing you that they will either kill you or bring you a cuppa. Also, now they are green! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

(In case you couldn't tell, I get excited about Ood.)

3). Clones

Two identical Doctors...I can't even tell you what I'm thinking right now.

Also, rumours suggest that the TARDIS may also be cloned. Does that mean that's where we'll see the return of the duplicate TARDIS from "The Lodger", which showed up in the S6 trailer? If so, my nerdboner would be most pleased.

4). Sontarans

Apparently some filming pictures showed a lone Sontaran on the set of a certain Series 6 episode. Uh...I"m not too psyched about this, to be honest. The Sontarans always seemed to me like ripoff Klingons. I don't mind a couple jokey episodes with funny villains, but I can never take the Sontarans seriously even when they start killing people. Granted, this may be an effect of the Moff's insight into their secret origins...

5). Dolls

FUCKING DOLLS AUGH GET THEM AWAY FROM ME

(in conclusion, dolls are scary)

6). Cybermen

The link that Doctor Who TV gave under "Cybermen" led back to the Sontaran article, so uh... yeah, no picture of Series 6 Cybermen to show you. I'm iffy on this one. When done well, the Cybermen can be terrifying, but I wouldn't mind getting away from the classic monsters more and seeing some brand new ones (exhibits 1, 3, and 5, above).

7). Weeping Angels

Apparently it's not likely that they'll be in Series 6, but the Weeping Angels have been my favourite monsters so far so I'm just going to ignore that. I absolutely adore them and they make me piss my pants in fear. I still think the Doctor, Amy, and Rory should wear special one-way mirror-hats or something...although I suppose it wouldn't be very scary if they were always prepared for an encounter with the Angels, would it?

If they do show up, I will be very happy. But I hope they don't show them actually moving like they did in Flesh and Stone. That erodes some of the mystique, somehow.

And finally...

8). Daleks

Seeing as you already know how I feel about the Daleks, I'm just going to put the picture of the Fabulous Rainbow Quintuplets up here and leave it at that. Speculation about their appearance in Series 6 is still continuing despite the hints that they won't be seen this time. I...well, personally, you know I'd rather go with the hints. Better to leave the Daleks as the unstoppable terror-machines of our memories than the tea-serving, bumper-car-twirling, and subsequently funky fashionable colour-scheming jokes of today, that's what I always say.

What I'm most excited for: Greys/"Silents", Ood, Weeping Angels

What I'm least excited for: Sontarans, Daleks

What I wish I were doing right now: Not going through serious DW withdrawal

Hiatus.

Hello!

So unsavoury things like schoolwork and job applications have come up (ew), coupled with the fact that there's really no Who till Easter, and what all this means is that (as you've probably already noticed) I won't be posting much until Series 6 starts. I could post every tiny little interesting thing I find on whospam and fuckyeahdrwho, but that would just clog your dashes with stuff you're probably already reading.

This is not to say I won't post AT ALL - I have a couple more ideas for discussion posts and may write them on an abnormally unbusy day - but I definitely won't be posting more than a few times a month for the next little while. In the meanwhile, here is David Tennant with a kitty.

 

I'll miss you!

LOLOLOL I died.

Sorry for the Tumblr-ish post but I just had to share this with all of y'all. I guess dreams really do come true. From fuckyeahdrwho.

SONIC SCREWDRIVERS EXIST NOW, WORLD HUNGER IS CURED.

Well, the first part is sort of true-ish and the second part is not. I am sorry. World hunger is not yet cured, but I am pretty sure we could sonic it somehow.

BUT YEAH OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.

This article from the Daily Telegraph states that ultrasonic technology, which has the ability to manipulate physical objects (such as SCREWS FOR INSTANCE), is within our reach. Though it's still at the cellular level, scientists (including someone called Dr. Drinkwater, who I don't know about you but he definitely belongs in the Whoniverse with a name like that) are working on applying that force to larger objects.

In conclusion, SCIENCE!

In which I DO MY PART TO FURTHER THE CAUSE

Hey

hey guys guess what

I GOT US A NEW FAN

now the rest of the world just has to be reeducated

But yeah, the friend-slash-somewhat-boy-ish came over tonight and I showed him 1.01. Being an engineering dork he now A - loves the show and B - wants a sonic screwdriver. I told him to get in line behind all the rabid fanbirls.

"Fanbirl" is a composite of "fanboy" and "fangirl". I like it. Don't you dare judge.

"Are you drunk?" you may ask now, to which I respond "NOT YET MOTHERFUCKERS, BUT GIVE ME THE HALF-BOTTLE OF SHITTY RED WINE IN THE FRIDGE AND END OF TIME PART 2 AND I WILL SOON BE A BLOGGY MESS ON THE SOFA".

This post had a point. Oh yes. Okay. I remember it now.

Go here. Here is awesome.

This is what you can expect from Here:

Alex Kingston is on Craig Ferguson (oo-er)

...is flawless, funny, gorgeous, and likes to have sex with rabbits. Or something.

Here! Watch!

Some musical goodness for your Thursday perusal.

We have the adorably Scottish:

And the quite frankly awesomely kickass. (Doctor Who vs. Annie Lennox)

Hope all of you are having a wonderful Thursday. I am feeling rather feverish so I will either not post much at all or post a bunch of nonsense including Teninch fandrool. We shall see.

In which all our poor fangirly hearts break

David Tennant and long-time girlfriend Georgia Moffett are officially engaged, says The Daily Mail.

"Even by a Time Lord’s standards, it’s a fairly head-spinning concept. David Tennant, the tenth Doctor Who, has become engaged to the daughter of the fifth Doctor, Peter Davison." 

Seriously though, yay! I hope they work out. And I really want an invitation to the wedding.

Good-looking boys.

Today I am feeling rather bored and I'm on holiday so I'm going to treat myself. This is a theme I've been turning over in my mind for a while, and I'm excited to do an actual blag post on it.

Anyway. We all know that the obsession of our lives show we all love has some VERY attractive actors, both male and female. There are entire fansites dedicated to Teninch's ass and Barrowman's eyes and vice-versa. Not to mention that swoonworthy picture of Karen Gillan that millions of fanboys probably beat off to every night (if you don't know which picture I'm talking about, just search it, I'll give you a hint, it's the one where she's in her panties).

But what about the cameos, the one-off characters, the guest stars? Seems like the Whoniverse is littered with scrumptious little morsels of manmeat. (And womanmeat, but I'm a straight female so I tend to drool more over the manmeat.)

Meat. Meaaaat. Funny word, that. ANYWAY.

Here is my top 10 of the hottest male side characters on DW.

10). Thomas Brodie Sangster (Tim Latimer, "Human Nature/Family of Blood")

BEFORE you go all "PEDOBEAR PEDOBEARRR" let me assure you two things.
1 - He is 20, no REALLY, HE IS. I KNOW.

2 - I didn't put him on here because I thought he was hot. I just think he is adorable and the fact that he was the kickass Love Actually kid just made me want to hug my screen when he came on in Human Nature. He's got the best hair, too.

Anyway, he is super cute and awesome.

9). Peter O'Brien (Deputy Ed Gold, "Waters of Mars")

Maybe I have odd taste, but I love me a rugged Australian man. Especially when he was being a hardass to Yuri in the beginning when Yuri was fixing his solar panels. Rugged + Australian + pissed off = instant melting of pants. Too bad most of the pictures of him on Google make him look about 50 (which he is, but whatever).

8). Tony Curran (Vincent, "Vincent and the Doctor")

I may be unique among fangirls in this respect, but when Eleven is in the frame I am entirely capable of noticing other men. And one of those men is Tony Curran. Yeah he was supposed to be a suicidal drunkard with major self-esteem issues - and spent half the episode crying, it seemed - but if you actually look at him physically, you start to notice the gorgeous eyes and the furrowed brow and the tousled hair and you realize that he is actually one extremely attractive ginger.

Or was that just me? Please don't say it was just me.

7). Bruno Langley (Adam, "Dalek/The Long Game")

Yes his character was a meddling whiny prat, but Bruno Langley is the epitome of the cute boy-next-door. You may look at that in today's world of unbelievably attractive celebrity men and laugh, but if you were his friend in college he's the one you'd gather your courage and approach at one of your Calculus study sessions and blushingly ask out to coffee. You know it, don't even lie. 

Also cheesecake.

6). Colin Morgan (Jethro Cane, "Midnight")

He's got blue eyes, dark hair, and he's Irish. Come on now.

Just don't make him smile directly at you.

5). Harry Lloyd (Son of Mine, "Human Nature/Family of Blood")

I seem to have a thing for Victorian-era schoolboys, don't I? Okay that just sounded ten kinds of wrong.

Go back and rewatch Human Nature/Family of Blood. Look at Son of Mine. Remove the painful permanent smirk and mentally tousle that prim and proper hair. Yeahhh, you get it now.

Just look at that little cleft in his chin too...hlurghblurghwharrgarbl

4). Will Thorp (Toby Zed, "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit")

Will Thorp is apparently so little-known that the only real pictures of him (not in character) on Google are tiny little thumbnails. However, the related search is "Will Thorp shirtless". So clearly the ladies and gents who do know Mr. Thorp also know that he is phwoar-worthy.

Admit it, you totally knew he had a rockin' bod underneath that blue shirt and tattooed Satanic script.

3). Danny Horn (Middle Kazran, "A Christmas Carol")

I put a bigger picture of him up because I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THAT GOD DAMN 

GOD DAMN GOD DAMN GOD DAMN

(of course, this later turned into Dumbledore)

but GOD DAMN

2). Michael Obiora (Detective Inspector Billy Shipton, "Blink")

As I move down the list the pictures get bigger because they are hotter, okay? Don't judge.

Anyway. Billy Shipton, with those eyes and that jawline and those lips and that accent, melted my pants from the first second I saw him onscreen. Kudos to Sally Sparrow for coherently flirting with him. I probably would've dissolved into a puddle if he'd told me "Life is short and you are hot" - which is, incidentally, the best pickup line ever.

Okay I have probably devolved into utter rambly idiocy from the sheer sex that is contained in this one post, but I think I have the mental faculties (and a partially-still-dry pair of pants) to introduce to you my number one and the hottest DW side actor I have ever seen:

1). Ian McNeice (Winston Churchill, "Victory of the Daleks")

FUCKIN' A, BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YOU ARE ALL NOW PREGNANT

Ten, Tate, and a puppy.

They all did A Christmas Carol BEFORE Doctor Who and shiny big budgets.

Also, Ten in eyeliner and skinny jeans, that is all.

YOU GUYS I NEED THIS NOW

So my dry spell apparently didn't last very long. BUT LOOK AT THIS HOLY SHIT

THE FIRST PERSON TO BUY THIS FOR ME GETS ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN THE WORLD

I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING

Happy Who Year!

Happy new year, wonderful Whovians!

This from Pidge.

Since there's a dry spell of Who between now and S6, this may become more of a Tumblr-y type deal where I just reblag a ton of cute DW stuff I find on the internet. But if there's anything you'd like me to discuss, let me know in the comments section or at malini.mvk@gmail.com.
