Doctor Who resumes tomorrow. I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what the big twist is going to be. But if I’m right, it’s too spoilerific to mention here. Let’s just say …
"Austro" as in Rothbard and Wittgenstein, "Athenian" as in Aristotle and smashing-the-plutocracy.
About Roderick T. Long
The Empirical Me
I’m Roderick T. Long, Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University. I’m an Aristotelean/Wittgensteinian in philosophy and a left-libertarian market anarchist in social theory. (More about me here.) This blog, Austro-Athenian Empire, is a continuation of my earlier blog, archived here.
… nomen omen.
I WAS RIGHT!
Ohh so there’s going to be a huge musical episode, with tons of musical numbers? I can see it now “Doctor Who the Musical”
They don’t call her River Song for nuthin’.
Here’s a preview of the musical goodness.
You know, a musical called Let’s Kill Hitler! would be pretty awesome whether or not it’s Doctor Who. Especially if it starred Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.
It’s death time
for Hitler
in Germany ….
The big twist: River Song IS REALLY HITLER.
If they killed Hitler and he regenerated into River Song, that would certainly count as an exciting twist.
I can approve of that. I mean, “Once More With Feeling” single-handedly made post-season 4 Buffy worth watching.
In this drawing, the caricatures of Amy and the Doctor aren’t especially good, but Rory’s is spot-on.
Well that was a rip-roaring good time. I was let down by much of the season’s first half, but this was a lot of fun and next week looks enjoyable too. Just no more boring ganger business.
I am a little concerned that Amy and Rory didn’t have much to say about not getting the chance to (traditionally) raise their daughter, but perhaps Moffat will get back to that.
