Woe to the fucking wicked.
Do we know if the BBCA version will be the same as the BBC1?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
David Tennant can convey more with his face that most actors can with the most eloquent oratory.
Indeed. That was excruciating to watch and listen to.
I am continually impressed by Doctor Who's ability to make totally mundane things freaky as hell. Children, stone angels, now water...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Gallifrey still lives on in him because he carries its memory - but when he goes, it's kaput.
Plus, even if he is having decades' worth of adventures off-screen, he is still blowing through regenerations like a kid with a fist full of nickles in a penny arcade. Most Time Lords got to their regenerations through old age of bodies, not through adventures or misadventures.

Really? How strange - I'd heard different. Must check my sources!

Children, stone angels, now water...
That scene where the guy was looking up and one drop of water splashed on his face? I jumped and squeaked. Over a drop of water. It wasn't quite as extreme as my reaction to scenes in Blink, but still—water.

I was drinking water at the time and couldn't help looking at the glass askance.

Hmm. I had only thought of that in a meta context, not a plot-based one. Nothing to lose making him a bit reckless.

Nothing to lose making him a bit reckless.
And at the same time, freaking his shit out a bit, when he stops to think about it.
