Heh, are you watching the rewind or whatever they're calling it? What is it with Karen's hair in a couple of those talking-head clips? It's like all messed up for some reason.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Yup, I am. I.. couldn't say what's up with Karen's hair. Looks like she was trying to go for a "big" look- meh.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I just remembered something I thought was so cute in the Christmas episode: one of the times they come to get Abigail, both Kazran and the Doctor are wearing fezes (fez? I don't know the plural)! I think it's probably from their trip to Egypt.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah, I spotted the fez..es, fezes, I think. I so love the timey-wimey-ness of the Christmas episode. I will always admire the way Moffat plays with time travel.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Amy looks so pretty in the previews. With that little bit of hair clipped back.

ALSO ZOMG IT'S STARTING!!

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

She looks older, it's kind of weird. Pretty, but weird.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

LOL, how many times has River broken out of prison? Really more of a hotel to her.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Aw, I was hoping the Stetson would stick around. It actually was cool.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

I still like the fez more. I wish we'd seen more of him dancing in it in the black and white movie.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

1103, wow it's been a while.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Jeepers, is that what he said? Hunh.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Boy, this episode is trippy...

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

That astronaut was freaking creepy even before it shot the Doctor.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Oh, bad American accents, start filling in the bingo card.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Wow, we've got a good few squares done already.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

That was a weird place to cut it. *sigh* Man, I hope we're not watching some weird edited version.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Somehow having all these little "behind the scenes" things is ruining it for me. Like, it takes me out of the illusion. Plus Stephen Moffat grates.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Seconding the "WTF is going on here?!"

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting. Now Rory and Amy have "spoilers" on the Doctor.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it. That's...interesting.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Ugh, River being cryptic, that should be a BINGO square.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Was that a MINOTAUR?!

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Eh? Must have missed it. Well, something to look forward to.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Would it seriously be River that kills the Doctor? I know people have been speculating that for a while, and it would make sense, but it's...almost too easy.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

It is too easy, but I have no idea who else it would be...

Aw boooo, I don't like Mark Shepherd's American accent.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Oh, Nixon. Better or worse than Watchmen's Nixon?

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Hmm, worse, I think.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

You know, every time I see a commercial for The Tudors I wonder when he's going to gain the two hundred pounds.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I don't think he will ever gain the two hundred pounds, because then he wouldn't be all dreamy and dark and broody.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Heh, "The Legs, The Nose, and Mrs. Robinson"/"I hate you". Favorite exchange thus far.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Not to be...dubious, but something about a black secret service agent, in charge of other agents, in the '60s, with Nixon does not ring super true to me.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Wow. So. That was weird. Jeez, this episode is really.. I keep waiting for all these things to come together... and it's not.. yet. Hm.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

And yet there's only...twenty minutes to go. Hmmm.

Oh, it's a two parter, that's why.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Doctor and River are VERY flirty this episode. I kinda like it.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Right, we can check the BDSM Innuendo off the BINGO card.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Why is BBC America determined to haunt my dreams tonight?

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Heh, "television from the other side," I like it.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Heh, Rory is so the n00b who has to do everything.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

LOL, he looks kind of terrified at the prospect of "you and the doctor, I can kind of see it".

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I'm really not in love with the whole tragedy of River Song and the Doctor's epic romance.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

I kind of am. I mean, it's like someone suffering from Alzheimer's, isn't it? And the spouse watching them slip away.
