Fact 1: The Statue of Liberty was purposely never trademarked so its image could be the property of every citizen of the USA
Fact 2: It has since been used in millions of photos, pieces of art, souvenirs, and every day objects
Fact 3: Whatever holds the image of an angel, is an angel

She also takes the Doctor's advice about aiming for a Dalek's eyepiece up to eleven

"Ace, did you remember to bring that Nitro 9 I told you not to?"
"Of course, Professor!"
"Good girl."

Just finished watching The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. If you can stand all the (not so) sly digs at the fandom and the BBC, plus all the 80s... 80s, it's a rather enjoyable episode.

OK, I'm slightly biased with Mags (one of the greatest never quite companions, IMO); she looks like a Neverwhere extra, and

was Doctor Who's first attempt at an onscreen werewolf

.

McCoy plays the Seventh Doctor as the buffoon of his first season AND as the cunning old man of later appearances, and slips from one to another with the ease of shedding a coat.

Troughton did much the same, if you've ever watched him, but McCoy took it to a whole new level.

This is actually not an issue because that unhappened. There was a time when the SoL was replaced by an Angel but 'now' that never happened, much like many of the doctor's first encounters with the Daleks never happened because he changed their timeline later.

Of course, some of his early encounters with them DID happen because he changed their timeline...

4. It's the Scarf

Also, Oca Who baby and his scarf are gorram adorable.

Oh, and the 'cross between 4 and 10' was just someone doing 4 but not too accurately. The shorter coat and hat are more 4's style. Plus the scarf, naturally.

That Sylvester McCoy recording is so glorious. He manages to out-ham Matt Smith, which is no mean feat.

Doctor Who poetry

Roses are red,
The TARDIS is blue.
I’m Steven Moffat.
Get ready to hate your life.

Roses are red,
The TARDIS is blue.
The Doctor once said,
“Rose Tyler,”

Roses are red,
The TARDIS is blue.
“Hey Donna, where's the Doctor?”
She said, “Doctor who?”

Roses are red
The TARDIS is blue
Sherlock jumped off a building
Then the Ponds did too

Roses are red,
The TARDIS’ blue is strong.
Please, Amy Pond.
Please come along.

Roses are red,
The TARDIS is blue.
The Angels took Rory;
Amy said, “take me too!”

Roses are red
The TARDIS is blue,
Amy and Rory,
Aged eighty-seven and eighty-two…

There are some more of these on tumblr but these were the best that I've found so far.

Note: The ones in spoilers may be too soon for those of you who have watched those episodes recently. Or in the case of the Journey's End one, may be always too soon.

On a more serious note, Moffat has commentary on "The Angels Take Manhattan". Again, beware spoilers.

Dat Doomsday poem. I actually laughed at that one. :awesome:

But in any case I just finished season three with my roommate. As soon as I got home from work it was jut an all out Doctor Who marathon. haha

I must say, there was some pretty good stuff there. The "Human Nature"/"Family of Blood" two parter was rather interesting, and I do have to say that I felt that

the ending was rather gruesome. Just what the Doctor did to those people as punishment, and the fact that he made sure they would live forever as part of the punishment was rather grim. But that's what I love about this show, how someone so goofy can switch and go to the opposite side of the spectrum so easily.

Also, BLINK. HOLY SHIT. ANGELS ARE CREEPY AS FUCK! That is all.

And then all the stuff with

The Master. He's just as cooky as The Doctor, ecept that he likes to kill things. I really liked their dynamic.

And it was nice to see

Captain Jack again. I felt like they kind of played up his penchant for flirting with everything a little bit too much in Utopia, though I mean, I like that part of his character, but I felt myself going, "Yes, yes, he'll bone anything that moves, we get it, moving on..." But then, they did practically the same thing with Martha all season. Many a time I found myself going, "Yes, yes, we know you want to get in The Doctor's pants and he doesn't care, moving on..."

Mind you, I wouldn't mind getting in the Tenth Doctor's pants, either. :awesome:

I really don't have much to say on that though, I guess. I do like how

Martha didn't have a tragic ending and that her and the Doctor parted on good terms, though.

I feel I should point out that the Human Nature two-parter was based on the writer's own Seventh Doctor novel of the same name. Which might explain its darker tone compared to the rest of the season. :monster:

I started listening to the commentary on Greatest Show, but it didn't have the usual zing of Seventh Doctor story commentaries. Then I realised Sylvester McCoy wasn't present (probably something to do with being a brown wizard in New Zealand).

There's a TVTropes article here about Stephen Moffat's first Doctor Who short story. Interesting to count how many links there are from the article to recaps of Moffat episodes. :awesome:

Oh, and I've been thinking about this for a while. But, if a certain villain returns in the anniversary show, I think they should borrow this line from an Eighth Doctor comic:

"Our time as equals is over. I have walked in the Infinite Wasteland. I have heard whispers that would deafen your soul. You remain only an apprentice...

while I am finally The Master

."

Christopher Jones Comic Art: "I'm amused by how many people have interpreted this piece as some kind of anti-11 / anti-Matt Smith statement. Not so. When I got the toy 11th Doctor Sonic screwdriver and saw it in person next to the 10th Doctor version I was struck by how much larger it was - and that it had the pop-out claw besides! This joke popped into my head and I needed to get it onto paper."

Lies. K-9 Mk 2 is best.

Also, X, I fixed your link. It had a linebreak in it and that was making it act strange.

I'm hoping to have some time to get through some more of the classic series over fall break.

So I watched "Voyage of the Damned."

Sad to say...I kind of hated it.

But that's okay, I'll just move on to Donna Noble as the companion, which I have been heavily looking forward to.
