I love 9, I love 10 and I love 11 - but differently. I really don't hate any of them.
The way I see it, it's not Tennant's fault that he made the character into the most attractive drama queen of a Doctor.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Shir is me. (This is not news.)
I enjoyed the pirates episode. I like fun ones that distract from the big complicated arc a bit. What are our theories on Woman With Eye Patch who appears as if from nowhere?
I am having the most fun with a tumblr blog by a big big Who fan [link] who links to the most brilliant stuff. My favourites are the crossovers [link] and the comedy cartoons [link] [link] [link] .

Well, if Amy is both pregnant and not pregnant, I'd say that Amy is also both dreaming and not dreaming. Probably has to do with colliding parallel worlds or something.
Wait, didn't we have that episode, with pregnant and dreaming Amy who have to choose between realities?
Edit: wow, excellent tumbler, Seska! Thanks for sharing.

Maybe she's... still dreaming!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I just want to note the last episode of SGU last night, since evidently I'm the only one still watching. I like that they went out without returning the crew to earth, on a hopeful note, being brave and letting Eli take the risk. And I do wish we get to find out what happens next. SIGH

I thought she was an artifact of the Silence at first, and have not developed a theory to account for her. The little sliding door is pretty ominous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If it turns out this whole season (or season first-half) is a dream, I will be... grumpy.

I think that makes the most sense. If that's the case, I will (probably) not be grumpy.

Heh.
So I wonder what happens to Amy if she gets to the point where she begins to show. How can she show and not show at the same time? Maybe she doesn't show, but if you look where you never want to look, out of the corner of your eye, you'll see preggers!Amy.
Random thought: Amy and River are both good at picking locks. (Evidence they could be related.)

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.
I love that 11 can laugh at himself. No longer is he The Oncoming Storm, but rather he keeps trying on new silly names and discarding them as rubbish.
I'm an old-school Whovian. 9 was so different from the previous incarnations, so incredibly damaged by the Time War. Eccleston was brilliant for it. And? Hot. Tennant as 10 made another brilliant job of creating a more-or-less coherent synthesis of 9's damage and many of the traits, quirks, and mannerisms of 1-8. For my taste, appealing and sometimes compelling, not as hot as Eccleston. While I admit to not being especially enamoured of Matt Smith, I love the Doctor. 11 is that much further away from 9's trauma, and that much more the Doctor that I have loved for two and a half decades.
