The God Complex

EDIT: I keep editing this post because I keep thinking of things to add onto, so I'm going to stop adding on now. I'll be posting and venting about this episode on my Tumblr if you'd like to read more.

So, I lied. I'm not posting about Pottermore or Minecraft in this post, but Doctor Who. All of you know very much that Doctor Who is my absolute favorite show. There was a new episode, The God Complex, on BBC America yesterday and I have to post about it. Spoilers are coming your way if you haven't watched it yet!


For one, I found the episode absolutely terrifying. The beginning, even. "Praise him. Praise him." Praise him is so scary it might as well be the new "don't blink" or "look behind you". I refused to look at any spoilers on Tumblr before I watched the episode, so I had no idea what this episode was going to be like. I'm very satisfied, though, and I can't wait for the next one.

Rita was great. The Doctor liked her. She was brave. I honestly thought she would be a great addition to the companions. Maybe not, though.

Howie's death...that was scary. To see someone beg for death from someone he had been running away from for so long, it was a bit horrific.

Joe gave me the creeps. "Here comes the lighter to light up your bed. Here comes the chopper to chop off your head. Chop, chop, chop." I was actually really amused when the Doctor came out with him on a luggage cart and his mouth covered in black duct tape.

GIBBIS IS PERFECT. He is absolutely perfect. That's all I have to say about him.

The scene in Amy's room was very emotional. When I saw what was in her room (which was the young version of herself sitting on her suitcase, waiting for the Doctor), I was going "awwwwhhhhh". It was so emotional. And when the Doctor said to lose faith in him, I was like, "you're joking. You have to be joking. You cannot know her for so many years and then say that." When he calls her "Amy Williams" instead of "Amy Pond", he's letting go of the girl who waited for him. His best friend. She's not Amy Pond anymore. This is just. Oh my. ASHKFSDHGSA.

Though, I laughed when the Minotaur came inside and threw Rory against the wall with the door.

I'm thinking Rory's room has something to do with losing Amy.

THE ENDING. THE ENDING. NO. RORY AND AMY ARE MEANT TO BE WITH THE DOCTOR FOREVER AND EVER AND YOU CANNOT JUST LEAVE THEM LIKE THAT. MOFFAT, STOP MESSING WITH MY EMOTIONS.

I'm wondering what was in the Doctor's room, though I was excited because his room number was 11. My mom said, though, and I'm not sure how she interpreted it at the end,

"That was his fear."
"What was his fear?"
"His fear was losing them."

Errol and Notch

Hello everyone! I solemnly swear that I'm sorry for not posting in quite a while (I've been busy with school, as I started September 7), but I finally got my Pottermore welcome email! I'm extremely happy and I've been playing since September 6th. It's very convenient that it decided to arrive a day before school began.


Notch has also officially released Minecraft 1.8 (since this Monday!). I've been playing Minecraft since August 22nd. Expect a new post about Pottermore, Minecraft or something extraordinary soon!
