Watching DW - Beast Below

[lizardbeth]

I just.

it is too late for me to be watching this show.



From "The Beast Below"
Doctor: Children cry silently because they can't stop. *looks at Amy* Any parent knows that.
Amy: Are you a parent?
Doctor: *pause* ... Hundreds of parents walking past...

THE DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW YET ABOUT MELODY. HE CAN'T.
AND YET THAT IS EXTREMELY POINTY IN HINDSIGHT.

FUUUUU MOFFAT

and. Also.

Why does Moffat never have Eleven answer the question? He has a kid/kids in previous regenerations, right? Or were they of uncertain canonicity?

OR,

Is this theory that the cradle is for his and River's child truuuuuueee? Which doesn't make sense because he barely knows River at this point, so he would have no idea about it happening.

UNLESS because River knows his name in Forest of the Dead, he also knows that he will, at some point,in his future have a child with her? I could see that as a reveal that it's not that they marry that reveals his name, it's a child.

or else (a) this show has broken my brain, and/or (b) I just really want adorable Time Babies on the TARDIS.

I AM SO SORRY DOCTOR WHO FANDOM I KNOW THAT IS HORRID AND WRONG. I will stop.

But. But.

TIME BABIES.
TIME LORDS WHO UNDERSTAND "BABY".
Eleven and RIver being parents. Rory and Amy as grandparents (and somewhere the tardis herself just presiding over everything with a fond happy smile)

SHOOOOOOOWW.

So wrong except I suddenly want this LIKE BURNING



Please do not trip over the wacky theories on your way out.

Dude, I LOVE that he plans the long game. I can go back and watch previous episodes and pick up on little things.

Like the Library? River asks Ten if they've done the wreck of the Byzantium yet. Also, the Library's flesh banks are mentioned. (I just watched it. It didn't make me sniffle as hard this time. Maybe because even not knowing her, Ten gave that woman a pretty awesome sendoff.)

....HOW MANY FLESH RIVERS ARE RUNNING AROUND THE UNIVERSE?

NOT ENOUGH.

I bet they email each other. One of them refuses computers and writes long letters--which occasionally go astray, and River is very sorry about the Library at Alexandria, it really wasn't her fault.
