A Whovian's Reaction to 'The Name of the Doctor'

So, let's just say I've been a Doctor Who fan since '05, then I stopped when PBS (I'm an American, but I do have BBC America) showing Doctor Who. I don't remember why, and I don't remember if Rose was still the companion when I stopped watching. 

Now, I caught up with every series (the British term for season) so I've watched the ninth, tenth, and eleventh doctor in action. Rose is still my favorite companion and I can't wait for the 50th anniversary special with David Tennant and Billie Piper! 

Big question here - who's my favorite Doctor? Uh, Christopher Eccleston. Yeah. *BOO, HISS* Oh, shut up. I do love David Tennant and Matt Smith. I love them all equally. My Mom posted this thing on FaceBook about Doctor Who and I have it as a pin on my Pinterest.

9 - the one who introduced me to The Doctor...

10 - the one I fell in love with...

11 - the one who became my best friend... 

But the Ninth Doctor will always be my favorite and my love. 

Tonight is the night we find out the Doctor's name. The name we all don't want to know but it's definitely one of those things that you want to know. Plus, this is my first Doctor Who reaction post! I'm happy beyond belief to know who the Doctor really is and to have Clara be the first to know. Plus, River's back!!

8:00 - This is going to be great! I love hearing Mark Sheppard's voice before the episodes! WTF? Already saying that? 
8:01 - Clara knew every doctor? "I was born to save the Doctor." EPIC ALREADY!! 
8:02 - ROLL TILTES! 
8:03 - That is a very creepy song. Hey, it's the lizard woman, at the moment, I can't remember her name. Sorry! I'm a bad Doctor Who fan. 
8:04 - That had to hurt...
8:05 - A conference...call? With who? 
8:06 - A souffle! Souffle girl!!! 
8:07 - Damn right. HAHAHAHAHA Time traveling through dreams...sounds good! RIVER SONG!! 
8:08 - Nice...awkward...conversation between companion and Doctor's wife. 
8:09 - "Which is?" "What is his name?" "He doesn't like endings. 
8:10 - Oh, River no likey that word! WHAT?! NOT JENNY!! 
8:11 - Oh, no... not good at all! 
8:12 - "What's wrong?" I love Matt and Jenna's chemistry! 

COMMERCIAL BREAK #1 

8:15 - "An old...friend of...mine?" "Like an ex?" "Like an ex." 
8:16 - Matt is incredible! The TARDIS looks so cool on the inside. 
8:17 - "It won't hurt a bit." "Ow!" "I lied." Grave. Oh, dear lord. HE'S BEEN BURIED!! 
8:18 - I LOVE CLARA!! "Apparently by breaking into my own tomb." Crossing the Doctor's own timeline!
8:19 - Interesting. "We fall." We fall? 
8:20 - OW! That had to hurt...sorry Clara. 

COMMERCIAL BREAK #2 

8:23 - Oops? Of course his grave is the most dangerous place in the universe. 
8:24 - "My TARDIS from the future." 
8:25 - River is...dead?  "She's not dead." "Yeah, I should have mentioned that." "But I met her." "Her grave cannot be here." 
8:26 - "They'd never bury my wife here." "What?!" Nice way of putting it, Doctor. Just out of the blue tell Clara you're married. 
8:27 - And Jenny's alive... No one dies forever in Doctor Who. 
8:28 - Dead wife. "I sorta made a back up." WTF DOCTOR?! 
8:29 - "You're supposed to stay that way." That wasn't creepy at all. 
8:30 - CLARA!! 

COMMERCIAL BREAK #3 

8:33 - What's wrong with Clara? "I know. How do I know?" "Have we done this before?" "We have down this before." 
8:34 - Clara remembers everything! "What do you mean I've died?" 
8:35 - "Open your tomb." I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE DOCTOR'S NAME!! 
8:36 - Don't do that again! "Doctor Who!" How the hell is the tomb open? "I didn't do it." RIVER! WHAT THE FUCK?! 
8:37 - Clara and Eleven are too cute! I love them! DON'T GO IN THERE!! 
8:38 - "A body's boring." "What is the light?" 
8:39 - All of the Doctor's memories. DOCTOR!! "It will kill me. It will destroy you." 
8:40 - Please, don't! NO! 

COMMERCIAL BREAK #4 

8:43 - "He's being rewritten." "He's dying all at once."
8:44 - Clara remembers everything! All her times with the Doctor. 
8:45 - Oh, no! This is bad! "I have to go in there." 
8:46 - "I'm the impossible girl." 
8:47 - "I'm souffle girl after all." "Run. Run, you clever boy. And remember me." 
8:48 - Clara is too amazing! My second favorite companion. 

COMMERCIAL BREAK #5 

8:52 - "We are not all restored." "I have to get her out." "Me." 
8:53 - Listen to River! Good boy! "You're always here for me." A KISS!! I MISSED THEM TOGETHER!! I hope we see River next season.
8:54 - "It's hard to leave without saying goodbye." Does he love River? "Well then."
8:55 - "How can I still be here?" "Okay, how?" "Spoilers." "Goodbye sweetie." 
8:56 - Into his timeline he goes! But your story isn't done, Clara. "I can see you." 
8:57 - "What's wrong? What's happening?" THE LEAF!! "Let me save you." 
8:58 - "Clara! My Clara!" "Who's that?" "It's me." "I've never saw that one." 
8:59 - "He is my secret." 

John Hurt - The Doctor. 

November 23rd, 2013 - mark your calendars Whovians. 50th anniversary is coming in 6 months. 

We are done with Hell Week, my friends. Finales are still coming up but no more of this week! I'll write soon! Possibly for the Motive premiere or you may not see me until June. 

Steven Moffat is a clever, clever man. Very clever!
