A Good Man Goes to War: well, okay then!
First of all: happy Barricade Day! Hopefully I will have some Les Mis fandom goodies for later tonight.
Second: Who midseason finale. Is it bad that I was way more excited by the one-off characters and the little bits of Gallifreyan backstory than by the grand plot developments? I mean, grand plot developments were suitably grand, I totally called the whole "the Doctor's reputation is pretty damn fearsome and he needs to come down a few pegs" thing, and while I hadn't thought they were really going to make River be Amy and Rory's kid, in the event it was pretty well-handled.
But--VICTORIAN INTERSPECIES LESBIAN COUPLE. With KATANAS. I demand all the fic! All the vigilante crime-fighting shenanigans and the Silurian tongue porn and the full story on Jack the Ripper! And also Time Lords evolved into Time Lords through prolonged exposure to the schism, of course they did! It is now even more my headcanon that some of the humans at the end of the universe discovered a spacetime rift on Utopia that took them back to prehistoric Gallifrey so they could evolve into Time Lords. And TARDIS translation circuits don't do Gallifreyan, how interesting is that? Does that mean the Doctor has been speaking English the whole time? Or is it only written Gallifreyan? And--WEE DOCTOR CRIB, HEEEEE.
Also, going to call it right here right now: the 1100-year-old Doctor in Impossible Astronaut is the real Doctor, but his ganger somehow survives and stabilizes. I've seen a lot of people speculating that it's the other way around (that 1100-year-old Doctor is a ganger) but this would be a brilliant way to give all that "gangers really are the same people as their originals" business some unexpected payoff.
