It arrived on his desk on the 16th. This is a funny thing to procrastinate.
When Eleven knocks on Amy and Rory’s door for the first time, he knocks four times EXACTLY like the Master’s “drums.”
I’m calling another appearance of the Master in the forthcoming series 7.
Oh oh oh I hope you’re right! I want him back so badly.
It’s like they’re not even trying with the slash.
I really do.
But there was a moment that really bothered me in this year’s Christmas special. It’s even still irritating me a couple days later. The scene went something like…
Doctor: How did you meet your husband?
Madge: He followed me home from work. He said he would follow me home every…
I said it in my comment and I’ll say it again, here. This. This is CREEPY behavior. Unwanted. Disgusting. Obnoxious. Harassment.
This bothered me a lot, too. On the other hand, though, I have met men and women before who have told me explicitly that they like this kind of thing, so it does depend on the person. Maybe Madge is one of these people, and maybe her husband did it in such a playful way (giving her an out to say “go away” if she wanted), that she didn’t mind. We didn’t see their interaction, so we don’t know.
On the other other hand, though, this kind of behavior happens way too much when it’s creepy and unwanted, and writers shouldn’t really be advocating it or apologizing for it, especially on a show that has a record for being better than most SF about gender issues.
This said, I was bothered more by the sanctification of motherhood in the Christmas special. I’m kind of tired of seeing mothers portrayed as these holy spiritual vessels. It’s misogynist and very much a bad piece of Victoriana that hasn’t left us.
SIGN AND REBLOG THIS PETITION AGAINST NDAA.
We have until the 30th to get to the 25k mark. That isn’t much time. When I posted this link this morning, there were 7.8k left. Now, 6 hours later, there are 7.7k left to hit the benchmark.
This is a quick and easy thing. Sign it, reblog it, post it everywhere possible.
If you want your civil liberties to mean anything at all (or just don’t like being unlawfully detained with no judicial oversight in general) this is of the utmost importance.
Can someone please help me? I haven’t seen every episode, but I just watched “The End of Time” and I have seen the one where the Master is the Prime Minister. Any rating, but I prefer 10/Master.
But there is zero demand.

Well…Mary and Joseph WERE married at the time of Christ’s birth, but otherwise, yes.
So many people on all sides of the political spectrum (but conservatives more than liberals) are the Pharasees of today.
Children of the Revolution: The French, 1799-1914
Nineteenth-century France was one of the world�s great cultural beacons, renowned for its dazzling literature, philosophy, art, poetry and technology. Yet this was also a tumultuous century of political anarchy and bloodshed, where each generation of the French Revolution�s �children� would experience their own wars, revolutions and terrors. From soldiers to priests, from peasants to Communards, from feminists to literary figures such as Victor Hugo and Honor� de Balzac, Robert Gildea�s brilliant new history explores every aspect of these rapidly changing times, and the people who lived through them.

Thank you! I’ll get this :)
But why don’t you have a Nook version, book?! :(
‘Come now, don’t fire. You’ll miss fire.’
Thénardier pulled the trigger. The pistol missed fire.
