As the doctor ages he gets younger and sillier. He’s over 1,000 now, I think. And – oh, I just like him. His lack of cynicism. He’s like a baby. He wants to sniff, to taste, everything; he’ll never dismiss anything. As we get older – perhaps I’m just speaking for myself – we can get too cynical. If he had a… bath, it would be filled with rubber ducks which could talk or something; he’d find a way to reinvent the common bath. And I admire that. [x]

I didn’t like “The God Complex” because it forced me to have real, stomach-churning emotions about the fact that one day Amy will end her TARDIS tenure and I’m not ready for that.

How I Met The Doctor

gabydunn:

When I was in Los Angeles in June, my friend Jake and I were milling around outside the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater waiting for another friend to put us on the list for his show.

While we waited, we decided to go into a bookstore we’d passed and look around. We’d been in there for about fifteen minutes when the door jangled open. Over a row of video tapes, I spotted a young man in a leather jacket with shaggy hair. He had rushed into the shop and was anxiously going through a few books on the shelves. He seemed to be looking for something and was annoyed when he couldn’t find it.

I watched him. When he looked up, my brain did a flip flop. He looked really familiar. He looked….he looked like someone I knew, maybe? No, that wasn’t it. He looked like a celebrity…he…was he a celebrity? All of a sudden it came at me like a rush. It was the Doctor.

At that point in my life, I’d never seen an episode of Doctor Who. I’d seen .gifs and stills on Tumblr though. His face is unmistakable.

“What’s up?” Jake asked, realizing I was staring at some dude as he rifled through pages in books.

“I think he’s from Doctor Who,” I whispered. “I’m not sure. I don’t watch it.”

“Let’s Kill Hitler” preview | Doctor Who s6

• This, ladies and germs, is why Matt Smith is my Doctor and why the Moffat era is my favorite (so far). People wax poetic about the good old days of Tennant and Ten and blahblah Rose and blahblah Martha (you know I love Donna, in fact I love them all in their little ways), but… Ten would have picked up that phone. Ten would have admitted aloud how upset he was. He would have said, to Amy, how he was sorry he was letting her down and he would promise that he was trying his best. Eleven just lets it ring, has a moment to himself, and it’s so much more real. Bravo to Matt Smith, his acting is impeccable here.
• Amy Pond: the girl who waited. The girl who waited for him, and relies on him, and who has earned his trust and this monumental job he has to do because it involves River and Rory and his Amy. Picking up that phone would be too painful. Too overly dramatic. Too obvious. So we see him here, understated, disappointed in himself but flying off without her just like he did when she was 7, with clear motivations to get back to her as quickly as he can… wanting to deliver good news. So short, so simple, so incredibly touching. Long Live Moff.

My favorite thing about Confidential

is when Matt asks for direction or discusses his mannerisms before a take. I know it’s something most actors probably do, but the polite and specific way in which he does it is just incredible to me. I get all giddy when watching it.

My favorite thing about couples is observing the way they look at one another when the other is looking away. That being said, this is adorable.
