SO excited to have this thread up here! It seems like aaaaaaages since we've had a DW discussion thread

I really can't wait until next week

Also, how much do I love that it's called Bowie Base One? Let me tell you, a LOT.

This is up awfully quickly.

Don't know why. Someone's a little excited? Not me, I'm perfectly calm and reasonable. *nose grows a good two feet*

**Mrs.Almeida** · 11-07-2009, 08:20 AM

I actually want to put this up last night but paced myself ... but I couldn't help it anymore today

I cannot believe it will air in 8 days! Took a look at the thread for "Planet of the Dead" and it's really been almost 7 months since that!

stoptheqtip · 11-07-2009, 08:21 AM

I can't believe it either- a week tomorrow! A WEEK TOMORROW!

Seven months is just horrendous!

**Mrs.Almeida** · 11-07-2009, 08:26 AM

But it is over ... if I had known the wait would be so long when PotD aird

Also, can I say that I absolutely hate the trailer's end? That very last line about how it is the beginning of the end?

No need to rub it in constantly!

I know, Frances posted the trailer on her LJ and I was, like, way to state the obvious and pour salt in the wound, BBC Anouncer Lady!

**Mrs.Almeida** · 11-07-2009, 12:00 PM

I was surprised they did not put anything into the actual trailer ... something like that "... and I don't hear anyone knocking, do you?"

Well, I guess we will get plenty of that next Sunday

stoptheqtip · 11-07-2009, 12:11 PM

Or just "DID YOU REMEMBER THE DOCTOR IS REGENERATING? JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT?" Nah, that's the Christmas trailer

I'm looking forward to and dreading this in equal measure.

Someone on Slyv's journal suggested a Regeneration Support Group. I heartily endorse this idea.

**Mrs.Almeida** · 11-07-2009, 12:15 PM

I think the BBC should offer that. Or at least pay for professional help for each and everyone of us

(or at least convince David to get a Twitter account)

stoptheqtip · 11-07-2009, 12:33 PM

Yeah, David getting Twitter and sharing with us all how devastated he was would help us

.

**Mrs.Almeida** · 11-07-2009, 12:46 PM

I am sure the Confidential will do that

- the last one is actually the thing I am dreading most

**speak slow** · 11-07-2009, 12:52 PM

There's Ten Therapy on LJ just for that

but I haven't really been active on LJ for ages now so I have no idea if that's still going on.

But yeah... the last ever Confidential, I can't even think about that yet

**Mrs.Almeida** · 11-07-2009, 12:59 PM

I am a member but it seems to have died

But I am fairly sure there will be more after next Sunday.

I just know they will put some really sad, cheesy song at the end with a montage of his best scenes ... and I will start to cry and not stop for a week. (and whatever song they choose it will be ruined forever). I just know it.

**speak slow** · 11-07-2009, 01:02 PM

Ugh, yes

just like when they played that Doctor/Rose montage, and that was even a happy song, but that only seemed to make it worse, then.. I think I actually cried more over that than I did over the actual episode!
