Spoilers, Sweetie - Amy, Amy, Amy

Well, I hope you all knew that Amy Pond was coming back to be the NuWho series 6 companion. (If you didn't, I'm sorry.)






What adventures are in store for this Scottish, ginger companion? The answer lies below! (WARNING: Spoilers)

So what do we know for sure about Amy and series 6?

1) She's going to be in it.
2) A pirate's life is for her.
3) Tally marks are going to be all over her face and there will be screaming.

Besides that, not much is known. However, the rumor mill is going ahead full steam.

Rumors:
1) Amy will die at the end of series 6.
2) Amy will survive series 6 but will be mentally cracked by the end. (I cannot find where the link about this went. Why are my bookmarks so disorganized?)
3) Amy will become pregnant before the season ends. Worse, Rory shall accuse Amy and the Doctor of fooling around together once he finds out she's pregnant. (!? Seriously!? I will put my faith in you, Muppet, but I hope this rumor isn't true. The accusation part I mean. I wouldn't really mind it if Amy got preggers, although that would retread 'Amy's Choice' a bit.)
4) Whatever happens, chances are that Amy and Rory won't be on the Tardis full time once series 7 rolls in.

I'm sorry, I had something a lot longer planned out, but the furnace went out and I think hypothermia is about to set in. Time to grab all the cats, put every blanket I own on the bed, and hope it doesn't drop below freezing in here before I wake up and that feeling returns to my fingers. So... Here's Karen Gillan on the set practicing for the pirate episode! (Which will likely be episode 3.)

Only Karen Gillan could pull off BRIGHT PINK tights, damn her and her nice legs. Jealous? What gave you that impression? I do want that coat though.

Thoroughly uninteresting comment I know, sorry.

1) Damn, I hope that isn't true. Not Amy!

2) I could see it happening, but I doubt it. Amy lived with a crack in the universe in her bedroom wall for years, with it slowly eating up bits of her life. If she was going to snap she's probably have done it by now. Maybe she's just a wee bit unhinged, but she's one tough-minded woman.

3) I can see her becoming pregnant (maybe it will provide a reason for Amy and Rory to leave the TARDIS at the end of Series 6) but Rory accusing Eleven? Uh, no. I thought we were over that issue after "Amy's Choice". And Eleven is the most asexual incarnation we've had in the new series, very much in the mold of the classic Doctors. He seems hardly likely to sleep with ANYONE (River Song notwithstanding, possibly), certainly not Amy, who he seems to see as something between daughter and good friend.

4) Aw, sadness.
I have said it before and I'll say it again: I'm super excited about the pirate episode!!!! I was really really really into swashbuckling stuff for a while, and though I am not so enamored of piratical fiction as I used to be- that episode is basically combining a current obsession with an old one, so I will be vastly disappointed if it is not full of win. Though, I'm sure I'll be partial to it anyway. ;)

Those are some terrible rumors, but for once I'm not feeling like I should take too much stock in them. I have actually been doing better (thank you Mark Watches!) at not lurking around the spoiler thread on Gallifrey Base this time around, so maybe that's altering my impression of what's going on, but it seems like the production team is running a tighter ship (har har) this time around? Like, there's more control over what's being "leaked"? Also, aside from River's unintentionally awful eventual fate, Moffat tends to not do terrible horrible things to his characters in the end- and I just don't see him breaking that streak with Amy. Rory, however, I am irrationally scared for. I don't know why I see the Moff cackling over his strumming fingers,"No one will expect him to die a THIRD time, ha ha ha!" or doing something worse (I guess see point 3, but if he's going to make a stupid mistake, I don't see it being accusing his wife of adultry)... but my poor Rory. He went through enough last series, can't we be nice to him this time around?

So. Guys. How was your Saturday.

To make this somewhat on topic: I share a netflix account with my younger brother (he gets the movies mailed to him, but we both use the instant feature). I introduced him to Doctor who last year- once with Rose, which failed at capturing his interest, and then more successfully with The Eleventh Hour. He's kept up with season 5, and I showed him all episodes relevant to The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone (Blink, Silence in the Library, Forrest of the Dead), but other than that hasn't watched any of the past series of NuWho. To my horror, as I'm rewatching via netflix along with Mark, I start seeing Torchwood series 1 episodes popping up in the "Recently Watched."



Now, I've watched Torchwood, and I've enjoyed it, and I will say this with all the love in the world: it's not exactly TV I'd recommend to anyone who isn't a major Who fan. I'm trying to be nice here, I don't want to step on any hardcore Torchwood fan's toes. For me, the show is a guilty pleasure at best. (I do recognize Children of Earth is a different and superior animal from the rest of Torchwood, before you send your disappointed mind rays my way.) And honestly, the aspects of the lesser parts of Torchwood that I enjoy, I don't really see appealing to him. I seriously started typing out a message to him that it isn't worth his time, and he should go back and try to start at Rose again. Then I decided he was a big boy, and he'd figure it out himself.

He's home on break right now and as we were making dinner tonight, he brought it up.

Him: So, I've started watching this Torchwood thing....?
Me: Yeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhh..... I noticed. I was going to warn you... it's not very good...
Him: It's something to fall asleep to, though.

Ah, mystery solved.

He says he wants to watch David Tennant's era of Who, but I really want to convince him to get through Eccleston's first. I think he may have seen up through The Unquiet Dead, but I am not entirely sure. 8( There's so much to love about Nine, I don't want him to miss out just because of soft-focus and silly plots!

Ok sorry dudes and ladies this is totally off topic, but I saw someone online saying that they had purchased the exact floppy red top that Amy is wearing, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it is still possible to buy that thing and if so, from where. Or did I just hallucinate this statement in my mad desire to want to own this shirt for no real reason?

Okay one more thread and this one is fairly on-topic I swear.

Does anyone know what tall ship they're filming on? Google did not give up the information immediately, so I thought I would put it out there. I went to the tall ships show at Navy Pier in Chicago this summer, and if I happened to go on one they're filming on now I will

Um. So this isn't really about Amy, but I found it on tumblr, and it's relevant, so.
This just in: I am either a masochist or really dedicated or both, because I just watched EoT again to refresh my memory for my review. WRRRRRYYYYY. Oh well. I can better bring the snark, at least.
My excitement for the new series bottled up here:
