BAH! You sit there and beg me to spoil the episode you're watching!
And THEN you get irritated when I refuse xD
Emili, personally it didn't turn out as creepy as I thought it was going to be. And I'm the girl that finds the Cybermen scary. So you can trust me to inform you if something in Who scares the pants off me.
:]

...I found it more scared. I didn't think they looked monstrous at all - and it would have been FAR more potent if the kiss had happened while she was a monster/creature. ; / They just looked old/a bit unwell. { -- Don't highlight if you don't want spoilers! }
I'm totally digging the Gothic locations - seriously! the literary Gothic is the BOMB - and the strong Frankenstein vibe. Even more the bomb!
My Mum reckons it has something to do with the Time Lords. (I know nothing about Looming - I'm not even sure if Looming is considered cannon by some sections of the fandom... but then, Doctor Who's internal consistency is as freaking screwed up as Pokemon's at times, I think!)

I immediately made the connection to the Autons and the Nestene Consciousness--but of course those are plastic, so they're likely just meant to seem related.
It's kind of nice to see--wait, can I even mention Rory?
I suppose that's spoilerish for Narcisse, too.
So it's kind of nice to see Rory getting romantic attention and Amy being a bit jealous/insecure. xD
Also: finally an episode where he doesn't seem to die in any way!
I don't know a whole lot about Looms, either, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense to me.
I'd think the Doctor would have been more excited about it and less "ooh, bad, not especially good--maybe we've possibly got a chance to fix this, but really probably generally bad."
I've been hearing that the US doesn't get an episode next week 'cause of the holiday weekend.
That darn well better not mean I'll be a week behind for the next two episodes. =P
And doing that in the middle of a two-parter? ;_;

Having a break in the middle of a two-parter with a sequel that looks really promising is just a cruel, cruel course to take. >:

"Dear BBC,
I thought you liked us now.
Really, your ratings won't drop because we're all barbequing.
I don't even have a grill.
Love,
America"
Admittedly, I'll probably be out of town and at the house of my friends' parents, but they watch Doctor Who, too. ;_;

According to some of my American friends it is indeed off next week.
Which kinda sucks.
All I can suggest is, watch it online?
Also, erm... Looming?

Were you demanding spoilers, Narcisse? For shame!
Or who wasn't supposed to know what now?
Looms.
Apparently they showed up in some of the novels, but they've never been mentioned on-screen and they've often been contradicted on-screen.
So . . . I'm assuming they're sort of like the Doctor's half-human statement--we're just ignoring them.
@Frothy
I finally have a Gen 5 Feebas for you!
So you can have one on each, if you like.

Guys, I wont be on for a while -- at least, on this account. Basically -- recently, my Dad has called, stating he will no longer be paying the mortgage (or a percentage of it) to keep the roof over my mum's head. (They're not together -- haven't been since I was twelve.) However, my mum cannot afford to keep the place on her own -- so I am having to pay the mortgage too -- as well as save for my own place to live in the meantime, working all the hours I can get a hold of. I don't really know why I'm unloading all of this, but I guess I just need to get it out in the open? There's loads of complicated issues going on here, and somehow we're just going to have to struggle figuring them out. My Dad wants to take over the deeds to the house (and continue to pay the rent) only if the house is in his name. He wants it for my sister's and my inheritance, for when their both dead -- but wont believe me when I tell him "when my mum is old, how will she afford this house?" Somehow, he believes she's earning plenty, when I myself know she does not. What with my sister going to uni -- at least she'll get some money from the government to help keep her -- but that's not even enough. It's all come to a head -- my mum can't even bring herself to speak to him. So -- as a result, I am once the again the middle-man of this s**t storm -- as I have been since I was a kid. I don't really know what to do -- I can't control either of their decisions and I certainly cannot start picking sides. On top if it all -- my cat is getting no better -- and I will be heartbroken if she goes. Honest and truly -- and I'm not much of an emotional person. I just thought I'd fill you all in -- because, I don't really know what else to do -- and I was told "writing things down" helps your mental state of mind. Everything is so ********, so I apologise for just ******** off and leaving. I wont always be gone but -- right now I'm not in the mood for anything. Hope everyone is well, either way. You're all good people -- I hope you're having fun.
Again, I apologize for unloading. I just needed to write this somewhere. I don't have a gaia journal. Maybe I should have just made one instead. Oh. Just c**t, ********>

Oh, hun, I'm so sorry! ;_; That is definitely a shitty situation.
Take as long as you need, and don't forget we're definitely here to vent to when you need to unload.
Don't worry about things here. We'll be waiting whenever you get back. =)

I can kind of feel why you're having that frustration Ma'am BAMFomet. Obviously, you are carrying a huge burden right now. Well...I-I don't really know what to suggest.
If I WERE YOU though, I'd keep faith to God, I'd keep praying to Him to thank He about the great things He has already done for me, like Job 37:14 said. Then I'd also tell He about the big burden I am carrying and seek for His Holy Spirit for strength, because Genesis 55:22 said that we should throw our burden to God Jehovah, and He will sustain us. Also, whatever I'd do, I'd make sure that it would not disobey God's rules, because Proverbs 3:5-6 said that we should trust in Jehovah with our whole heart and we should not lean upon our own understanding. It also said that we should always take notice of Him in all the decisions we make, and in turn, He will straighten our paths.
So...there. I apologize if I annoy someone. Just tell if you guys don't want preachy people, and next time, I'll avoid doing this again.

@Lilith - I don't know if you're going to get chance to read this, but all that sucks, is too much for you alone to shoulder. I hope your father comes to his senses and realises the economic situation, but most of all give cuddles to your cat and give her as much comfort as you can. If there's anything to be done to take your mind of it, ever... Well, look after yourself. <3
@Xerexz - I don't think it counts as preaching if the person you're directing it to also has faith. ; ) I'm beginning to feel like the minority nature-loving agnostic heathen, but if the reminder provides a comfort to Lilith, then it can only be a good thing. SOME of us have come to realise there's no point getting our knickers in a twist, and while I enjoy religious debate, faith is a private matter, and if it's strong, isn't ruffled by such things.

Yeah, seriously, how does Oak know what we're doing with our bikes? D=
Really creepy.
I'm glad they amended that wording in later games. But.
Matt Smith. <3
I just continue to love Eleven.
Each Doctor is awesome in his own way, but Eleven.
I have to point out that there's a typo in it, though: I assume you meant "permanently" rather than "perminantly" . . .
I keep meaning to do something fun with my sig, but it never really happens. xD
Planted my vegetables today!
Now I just have to finish cleaning out my second front garden bed and get it planted--then I'll be done until the weeds start coming up! =D
