Orphans and Mad Men in Blue Boxes

So, tonight saw a double blow in BBC America viewing public's hearts. First, the break out hit Orphan Black finished its freshman run with massive reveals, spoilers and quite a few OMG moments.  Second, it was announced almost timed to coincide with the airing of Orphan Black that Matt Smith would not be returning to the TARDIS next season.  Wow!  Can we hurt anymore?

First, let start with Orphan Black. If you have not been watching this amazing show, shame on you.  Go back now, we'll wait.  Ok, caught up now?  It’s great, right? So Evil Proclone is the original I think.  I can't believe Mrs. S is evil.  I think she probably worked for the company and had a change of heart like Delphine. That's why Mrs. S moved to the US.  I don't understand why Mrs. S. ran with Kirra, though.  I can't believe Alison killed the neighbor, although I knew the Donnie was the monitor.  Remember Donnie mentioned that he dated in college when he was broken up with Alison? I bet it turns out to be a clone too!  I’m willing to bet Helena rises from the grave or is not really dead, mainly because she's a really good character.  I want to know how Sara and Paul escaped the elevator because that looked really cool and there were guards upstairs and downstairs.  If the clones were made in the US, I believe that the constitution would guarantee their rights based on the 13^th amendment. Okay, I think I got everything. Whew!

Now on to our favorite Time Lord! Allon-sy!  Maybe David Tennant will return.  Ha, but a girl can dream can't she! *Sigh* Now I'm questioning every single word that has come down from on high from BBC regarding the 50th because they had already made a statement saying that Matt was making season 8.  So why should we believe any statement up to and including who is starring in the special?  All names go back in the hat.  Also I had said before that the scenes shot did not seem to jive with what the official press release said.  Also Matt said painting, but Matt said staying so...

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reruns...

Orphan Black returns Spring 2014

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary airs 23/11/13

N.B.
I forgot to mention that both Tatiana Maslany and Jordan Gavaris deserve EMMY's! THEY ARE EXTRORDINARY ACTORS!  I wish them the best of luck during the upcoming award season, not that they need it, they are shoe ins. :):):)

Who is the Doctor?

I was sitting here and had a horrible thought.  The doctor always lies, right?  He never has a girlfriend, except for once when he was kinda sorta married.  He's old and British.  He has a critical thinking mind.  He cant resist a puzzle.  He's very witty and thinks no one knows more then him.  He's unconvential.  No one calls him by his full name.  He's a maverick who doesn't follow the rules.  He has one or more people that he directs to do his bidding.  HOUSE!!!!  Everybody lies.  What a great misdirect!!  House is writing the whole thing as a book while in jail.  What about that?

N.B. I was watching some of the extras on The Key to Time series and they(the prodcures and writers) made references to Sherlock Holmes.  This explains a lot.  The writers for House had said they intended it to be "Sherlock Homes in a Hospital setting".  Also a neat fact, the writers for Doctor Who said that they wrote the Master to be the Doctor's Moriarty.

WARNING SOME SPOILERS SWEETIE NEW DOCTOR WHO REVIEW

So Far-

Clara (Oswin) Oswald-

Born Nov 23,1989/Nov 23, 1886 –Dec 24,1892

Makes her 24 in modern era same age as when Who was first cancelled

Catch Phrase- Run You Clever Boy Run/ Remember Me/ Run Away/ Run Home

Wears rings consistently ( wedding ring?)

Her mental picture from AOD resembled Jenny’s (#10 Daughter) who is not dead, Slept on Kite, had rose in hair, Listened to Haberna Aria, Wore red

Maybe related to the Dalek Puppet that initially contacted the Doctor

Likes Soufflés

Appears Super Smart/ Bisexual/ Flirty (Like Jack)

Master of disguise/acting

No fear of the unknown

She supposedly meets River song this season, so she can’t BE River Song

Has unusual first reaction to TARDIS (smaller on the outside)

She has unusual abilities (Hack the Dalek mind, she found the Doctor, understood complex science)

She seemed to be alone (AOD mother may be dead, No family at grave in Snowmen)

Other facts

The Rose and Crown pub

The Doctor never saw her vision of what was inside the Dalek

If Jenny’s spaceship is supposed to be a clue to the Doctor it doesn't work because only the audience saw it.

DOCTOR WHO-\

If they tells us his name, it would kill the show

The Doctor is on his 13^th regen, not 12th.  He regened during Tenant’s time, just back to himself.  During Stolen Earth, Unless he absorbed some of River’s regen powers when She healed him.

Thus screws the timeline where his 13^th regen is THE VALEYARD, on GALLIFRY and all the evil the Doctor has ever BEEN.  SO by killing himself and surviving the Doctor created an alternate timeline where we have no idea how many regens each Time lord has or if Gallifrey survived the Time War.

River Song-

If the Universe is in Chaos, what does this do to River Song? Since River is Meeting him backwards she should know what’s going on.  She should have a clue who Clara is!

ON BBC Broad Casting Choices

After the Marathon BBC picked specific episodes to run.  I believe they have meaning regarding either this season or the fiftieth.

The God Complex- The title is from a line where the Doctor is told he has a god complex.  We’ve seen the trailer where he says he is very afraid.

Closing Time- Obviously this is reintroducing us to the cyber men.  I also think the baby or Craig maybe coming around again.  I thought I may have seen his face in the WI-Fi.

The Wedding of River Song-  Dealing with Time gone wrong?  An explaination of why River shows up?

The Eleventh Hour- When he crashes the Tardis, Maybe part of the redesign?  Also He said something about not quiet being done baking.  Also giant hole in the time/space continum

The Beast Below- Painting says Matt Smith.  The last place we saw painting beside VanGOGH.  Also SMilers, UGH!

So New Episode-

Cumbria 1209 That might be important

When we meet Clara she is wearing a flight wing necklace.  She is reading a book called Summer Falls by Amelia Pond.(bbc IS RELEASING THE Book) And in her front Hallway, Tom Baker’s Hat and scarf, or a fairly good replica.  I think the book might reference the fall at the plains of 10zalore.  Yes I spelled that wrong on purpose.  I think everyone caught the Jammie Dodgers.  Also this is the first time we saw the wardrobe with the modern Doctor.  The Spoonheads were very repetitive like the Snowmen. They also reminded me of the Library. The Monster from Midnight also repeated as a learning tool.

The writing on the Wi-fi HotSpot seemed to Look alien, in fact Gallireyan.  Why if it is being run by the Great Intelligence’s Agent who is human? The Motorcycle, A Triumph, appears to be the same motorbike from LET”S KILL HITLER, upgraded.  This episode also reintroduces UNIT. The first page in her travel book is LEAVE(leaf). 

Now some of these things are spoilers but I think you might get some more enjoyment watching the episode again after reading this, so I apologize to your friends and family who are as dedicated to Who as you.  They will just have to learn.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Rumours

   

As E Plurubus Unum, that watched on BBC America as the original Doctor Who episode "The Aztecs" aired last night January, 27, 2013. There was a lot of Wiboly-Woboly Timey WiNEY talking before hand, in case you didn't notice. Some of the information on the original series was great, it was LOVELY to see David Tennant, but anyone seriously into Doctor Who will have purchased/viewed at least one DVD with extras that contain similar information. There is also available old interview footage from cast members who have passed away. It seems odd that they choose not to use it.

"The Aztecs" is a good Classic Doctor Who(once you turn a blind eye to the 60's special effects). I understand that The Powers That Be were using it to illustrate a point. They even mentioned it in the pre-show talking points. The Doctors first mentions to Barbara that certain things are fixed in time and can't be altered. Also the Doctor is almost bambozzled into getting married. But as in most of Doctor Who's predictaments, this one is resolved quickly with none of the Doctor's companion lives at stake.

Some things come to mind though. Steven Moffot for one. Another thing is that we were promised a year where Who would take over our tvs. One special a month does not cover that. According to my line up, they're not even repeating this special. My thoughts are as follows. We were promised eleven Doctors in the anniversary special, right? I think River Song is supposed to be involved in bringing them together. I think the episodes/serials of the classic/new who are being shown are easter eggs, thrown out there to put the peices of the puzzle together for those care to find out. The first episode they ran after the first Doctorspecial was "Blink". Maybe a way to retrieve the other doctors without blowing up the universe involves their (the Weeping Angels) quantumlock.

It would be odd NOT to mention the many Gene(pronounced Jenny)/Clara/Suzan mystical connections that everyone is sure will pop up. I'm more inclined to think Clara is something utterly different but that Gene and/or Suzan will show up in the anniversary special.

Is Matt Smith leaving Doctor Who? If he is going to go, what more spectacular way then on the 50th anniversary when the show is at its peak? I think he still has time on his contract, though, so don't start shopping for bow ties just yet. On the rumors about him being replaced with a time lady, hmmm. I don't think that the charector would be the same. I however would be perfectly content with a Time Lady companion, maybe even a relative. His mom, or an elderly madien aunt comes in to boss him around. That would be histerical. Or Gene or one of Suzans children would be a touching return to the original grandfather like charector.

As for all the Doctors still living showing up, your guess is as good as mine. From day to day, each one has a new story. That strikes me as a cover story for what's really going on. David Tennant for instance had said in one interview that he hadn't even been approarched reguarding the 50th anniverasry and there he was on my tv last night in beautiful HD lying color. Granted it was only an interview so he may not have seen it as Doctor Who, but what else is he lying about? Of course several of the Doctors have passed away, but hey Kayne West is on CNN right? I don't know how you would explain the ones that have aged unless they were caught on Apalapucia at different time rates to explain why they aged differently. Or they could have been made to think they were humans like David Tennant did in the 1910's when Martha was traveling with him. I DO have an explaination for the Ghosts of those who have gone before. The suits from the Library when the Vahsta Nerada ate people. It left an imprint. Little easier to achieve then a full hologram and a Time Lord could have left purposful imprints anywhen and where, like a will.
