Дайри умерли, а я ещё нет.
Восстановила 280+ черновиков, начиная с 2011 года, и пытаюсь что-нибудь с ними сделать 
Может, поспамлю, но это ненадолго!
Ссылки на разборы трейлера 7 сезона - это, конечно, хорошо...
Апд. Сократила до 18!!!

2 Claras - one good, one evil. The evil one ends up good which means the good one ends up.......
(из каких-то обсуждений?)
Про Sleep No More:
It takes the unexplained nature of the monster from Midnight and combines it with both the Doctor leaving the story baffled because he doesn't get the info that the audience does from Girl in the Fireplace AND the implication from Blink that the story's monsters are coming for us. So it's a story about a plot to murder the audience, which the Doctor walks through confused and aware of its fictional status but unable to connect the dots and finally leaves before the villain succeeds in its goal and implants itself into you and me.
[x]
I loved how there wasn't any 'I AM THE DOCTOR!' or cuddly post-adventure finale of the sort we get every single time. It's totally unclear what is happening during the final act, but we're given enough info so on some level we vaguely get it. Then the episode just abruptly ends unexpectedly with this horrifying twist ending in which I the viewer ¤¤¤¤ing die. The ULTIMATE Moffat era fake death ending.

Дайри умерли, а я ещё нет.
I would argue that there's a very strong sense of family and last of one's kind in series 5. In each episode we're given examples of various creatures who are either trying to save their race from extinction or have become the last of their species. Family is a huge theme in series 5....and what happens when you lose them. (We go from noble last of species starwhale who sacrifices out of love for children to vampire fish who would destroy anything for her family to a blind creature who lashes out from fear of being left alone)
There's also the compelling visual in Amy's Choice where the old people seem to never die and we see them feast on the children of the village....this in an episode where the Dream Lord taunts the Doctor for liking the young but then just running away after awhile leaving them to never return. This episode, and the Vampire one where the matriarch taunts him about not saving his people but just running away, seems to suggest that the Doctor struggles with being OLD on an epic scale and perhaps sees himself as feeding on youth's energy. In his mind, he doesn't save them, he uses them. He is the antithesis of all the creatures we meet in series 5. He killed his people, he ran away...and keeps running. He is the monster, not all the scary creatures whom we learn episode after episode are just trying to keep their kind alive.
We then of course, have a parentless little girl and a Doctor who while trying to help, seems to almost become a parody of a bumbling dad who can't quite do anything right but wants to be the little girl's favorite and when a 'rival' comes on scene he's petulent, pouty and all the while starts to approve of the new 'love interest'. Amelia becomes his family without him being aware...he's sure he can run away at any point...but he get's in too deep and realizes that he can't. He's becoming the starwhale.
The themes of family and last of kind IMO were never there for Amy/River and Rory.....it has always been about the Doctor. Series 5(and 6) was about him being the last of his kind, the killer of his people. Someone so tired of just existing and hurting those he loves. He's at a crisis point....what do you do when you're the last of your kind? Do you behave blindly, do you behave badly or do you act with love? Amy saved the Starwhale, she saves the Doctor too.(And now we're facing the Doctor losing family all over again)
[x]
About The Wedding of River Song:
Eleven, in the very episode that's about killing off the Lonely God once and for all, meets River when she is Waters of Mars Ten. He's just decided to lay this part of himself to rest, and there's the Timelord Victorious standing right in front of him--and he doesn't run away, or shove her in a cupboard, or try to kill her, or "give her a choice" to make himself feel better about killing her... he marries her. He loves her and accepts her and that's how he gets her to stop.

Matt Smith's Best Story?
Дайри умерли, а я ещё нет.
Немного диковатых теорий за последние... несколько лет.
(Потому что черновики выбросить жалко, а девать некуда...)
Поиски сайлентов в 5 сезоне
Поиски неизвестно чего в "Одиннадцатом часа"
Первое упоминание 8,5
Не пытайтесь повторить это дома: попытки собрать таймлайн Ривер с учётом аудио и книг: раз, два. (Спойлер: там ничего не работает
Мне особенно нравится, как одна сюжетная линия в аудио кончилась тем, что она застряла в Матрице, и... а чёрт его знает, когда по таймлайну это было
)
With the very odd exception, each episode (including Pond Life) has contained
Either/and/or:
Egg references
References to the Doctor having a hand in a music recording
Flickering light bulbs
References to Christmas
The Doctor being unknown to someone or other
Remembering/forgetting
Hints at the importance of having a companion coupled with hints that he won't have the Ponds for long (obvious)
"That's New!"
But, this could all mean absolutely nothing at all...
Anyone else remember the rubbish about The Moon? That was nonsense. (c)
If there's a mission statement for Moffat's version of Who, it has to be the trailer line, "Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order."
Когда заспекулировали Клару дальше некуда:
...Clara's age when someone important to her died. The year I'm talking about is the year of her mother's death, 2005. She was 16 that year, which is one of the numbers missing from her book. The other number, '23' is probably when he friend died.
On Saturday 5 March 2005 (some three weeks before its TV debut), a rough-cut version of episode one, "Rose" was leaked onto the Internet by an unnamed employee of a third-party contractor to CBC in Canada.
As noted above, Rose leaked that day, and Ellie's birthdate (11th September 1960) was when Pathfinder in Space (by Sidney Newman) started on ITV. But hey, humans & patterns etc.
Ah, just realized what March 5, 2005 is the day of... It's the day Rose joins Nine in the TARDIS as his companion (meets him on the night of March 4)
He could, of course be an older McGann but, as the movie was 17 years ago, so could, eh, McGann....
Paul-is-dead
On that theory The Woman Who Lived takes place after Clara's demise (from the Doctor's perspective), since the Doctor is wearing the checkered trousers. That would explain the Doctor's behaviour in the final scene.
According to legend, the picture of the Beatles on Abbey Road is meant to give us clue that PAUL IS DEAD.
Not Paul is eventually going to die, you see?

Because the world is a sad place & I need some nerding: here's a thread about the man Hans Christian Andersen fell in love with.
According to his own journals HCA was a virgin by choice, but he had infatuations, the strongest for Edvard Collin the son of his benefactor.
Collin represented the privileged world HCA desperately wanted to belong in and always felt on the outside of.
At first they were friends but HCA got... intense about his feelings. Leading up to EC's wedding, HCA starts writing these love letters.
HCA writes to EC: "My sentiments for you are those of a woman. The femininity of my nature and our friendship must remain a mystery."
(This is where I stop feeling comfortable using male pronouns for Hans Christian Andersen)
Collin for his part expressed regret he couldn't reciprocate Andersen's feelings.
The situation escalated to the point that HCA was basically disinvited from EC's wedding and didn't find out the deets till the day before.
The reason apparently being that Andersen had written a song to perform for Collin at his wedding.
Anyway, HCA starts writing The Little Mermaid at the same time.
The original is the tale of a young mermaid who wants desperately to gain a human soul & discovers the love of a man is how to do it.
She lets her tongue be cut out in exchange for feet that bleed when she walks. All so she can get on land, get a man & therefore a soul.
The prince treats her like a pet. She sleeps curled up outside his door. He marries someone else, she jumps into the sea & turns into foam.
Then there's this ending no one accepts where she evaporates & becomes a spirit of the air & if kids are good she can get into heaven and be reunited with her prince there. Yeah. The one who didn't love her, like at all. Makes tons of sense.
Before publication the last line was removed: "I myself shall strive to win an immortal soul, that in the world beyond I may be reunited with him to whom I gave my whole heart."
Yeah, Andersen wrote The Little Mermaid to give herself a way to feel fully human & united with a man who didn't love her. Girl.
So I said I'd get to Edvard Collin's familiar sounding name. Twilight is Little Mermaid fanfic. No seriously.
Bella wants to be a vampire and... everything works out and she's the best at it and there's no drama. It's bad fanfic, but still.
And instead of being actually totally disinterested in her, Edvard Collin... sorry, Edward Cullen... is a stalker.
But yeah that's the background of that particular piece of misogynist Mormon YA fiction.

She lets her tongue be cut out in exchange for feet that bleed when she walks. All so she can get on land, get a man & therefore a soul.
The prince treats her like a pet. She sleeps curled up outside his door. He marries someone else, she jumps into the sea & turns into foam.
Then there's this ending no one accepts where she evaporates & becomes a spirit of the air & if kids are good she can get into heaven and be reunited with her prince there. Yeah. The one who didn't love her, like at all. Makes tons of sense.
Before publication the last line was removed: "I myself shall strive to win an immortal soul, that in the world beyond I may be reunited with him to whom I gave my whole heart."
Yeah, Andersen wrote The Little Mermaid to give herself a way to feel fully human & united with a man who didn't love her. Girl.
So I said I'd get to Edvard Collin's familiar sounding name. Twilight is Little Mermaid fanfic. No seriously.
Bella wants to be a vampire and... everything works out and she's the best at it and there's no drama. It's bad fanfic, but still.
And instead of being actually totally disinterested in her, Edvard Collin... sorry, Edward Cullen... is a stalker.
But yeah that's the background of that particular piece of misogynist Mormon YA fiction.

Он помнит все, что происходило с ним с рождения, потому что айфон хранит по три фотографии на каждый его чих; его память смешалась с фотографиями, и я уже не могу отделить, что он помнит на самом деле, а что — только потому, что все время смотрит на это. Я даже не уверена, что это вообще можно отделить и что это имеет какое-то значение.
Я боюсь: если все фиксировать не в голове, то что же останется в голове? И что есть теперь моя голова? Разве семейная память и история — это то же самое, что «Взгляд назад»...
(далее про гаджеты вообще)
Помню ещё, что где-то был пост Колокольчик фарфоровый на тему...
