Mark Watches ‘Doctor Who’: Christmas Special – The Next Doctor

Today in 'Watches' land the review for 'The Next Doctor' should go up soon.

Spoilers (and **NEVER** applaud a Time Lord!) below.


Here, have a very early (or very late) Christmas present. John Barrowman in boxers singing for the 2009 Children in Need special.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that likes this special. I dunno, I thought it was cute and fun and an enjoyable sort of cheese, and I really liked Jackson Lake. It ranks about third for me as far as Christmas Specials go, with Christmas Carol and Runaway Bride being #1 and #2 respectively.

I don't know if it's a shame or not that Mark knows Matt Smith is the really the next Doctor. We didn't have that luxury going into this special, but at the same time, it was just kind of a cheap trick on Davies's part. I wonder if he might think Morrissey is Twelve/Unspecified future Doctor or something?

Aaww the first episode I saw live. I'll admit it's not the best one ever but I'll always love it for being my first episode. I don't remember if I thought David Morrissey was genuinely the next Doctor or not (I think I already knew David Tennant was leaving at that point though).

Rewatching it the other day reminded me that Rosita is just AWESOME. Love her.
DAVID MORRISSEY DAVID MORRISSEY DAVID MORRISSEY!!!!!!!!!!



.....I really like blackpool okay.

Miss Hartigan's red dress, and Rosita.

I'm thinking of writing "It's a pity this episode couldn't fool you, but I'm sure that what is yet to come will still knock knock knock knock you out. Sorry, broken record."

Do you think that is too spoilery? I suppose not, because I think he wouldn't have a clue about what I'm talking until the end of of WoM, which sets him up for that anyway. But I am really not sure about this and won't post it if you say no.

From Mark's review:
As the Doctor headed off to enjoy Christmas dinner with Lane, I wondered: How much more heartbreak could the Doctor stand?

Dear god, is he unprepared.

"I mean…a giant Cyberman-shaped robot ship crushes part of London and NO ONE seems to remember that? What?"

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do people think it's okay to post Eleven gifs? *facepalm*

I lol'd at Mark wondering how nobody remembers the Cyberking in Victorian London, though. JUST WAIT, MARK.

Okay, I've got a question.

Now, Mark obviously wondered about the whole 'Victorian Steampunk Cyberman Destroys London' thing, and how nobody remembers. We all know its because of the cracks, who om-nomed it, so people can't remember it. But Amy rebooted the universe, bringing everything to its pre-cracked state. So....should people remember the Victorian Cyberman now?

You guys convinced me to go and watch blackpool. I've been binge watching for a few hours now, and it's ten to one now. I figured I'd stop after this ep (3) and watch the other 3 tomorrow.

Mostly just linked here because of this line: "The new series is due out mid-2012 on Nickelodeon."
