So guys... "The Doctor's Wife"? This ought to be a lot of fun. I'm enjoying the fandom implosion, and I think this calls for a friendly wager on what will and will not happen in this episode. My initial theory was that there's a married medical doctor somewhere and his wife is important to the plot. I'm pretty certain there will not be an actual marriage, though it's harder to be all semantic with "wife" than it is with "daughter." So, instead, I am wagering that the Doctor will end up married to the TARDIS, and it will be a story about the TARDIS itself. Anybody else?





Here is some space in case you were worried about being spoilt by the title somehow and were just trying to reply or something.







You think it's a long way to the chemist but that's just peanuts to:

















Also, I wish I wasn't overcommitted for writing right now, because there are some awesome prompts over at sharp_teeth's current round of prompting. Maybe one of you is bored and wants to write a Toy Story/"Blink" crossover. Or, better yet, Sesame Street/House of Leaves. (Me, I'm seriously considering the This American Life prompt, because apparently I am fixated on fictionalized NPR... and podfic, though that doesn't seem to technically be a category I will make it so.)

I am not so much enjoying the fandom implosion. "It has to be a fake title, because River isn't in the episode, and it's been practically confirmed that she's his wife."

Ok. First of all: this is Doctor Who. "Practically confirmed" is meaningless--only slightly more so than "actually confirmed".

Second: NOT EVEN! I wouldn't mind for River to be his wife, at some distant unspecified future date I never have to actually witness for more than a moment of montage. BUT the show has in no way confirmed her to be the Doctor's wife.

Thirdish: it pretty much has been confirmed that the Doctor's had other wives. He supposedly married Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth I. And unless the LOOOMS turn out to be canon, he very well might have procreated with a female lady wife-type character in the past. (No, he never mentioned marriage in connection to being a father, and he doesn't need to have been married to have a family, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that he was.)

People at doctoreleven were speculating on a Firefly, "Our Mrs. Reynolds"-style marriage mishap, and I can only say: I highly approve. I want to see the Doctor and cultural miscommunication/accidental marriage hijinks.

There is nothing sacred in my life. Except Sesame Street. THOU SHALT NOT SULLY/CREEPIFY SESAME STREET! The end. :P
