If Amy married Rory, and Rory was Melody’s father, why didn’t she call her Melody Williams?
Doctor: Amelia, from now on I will be leaving the kissing duties to the brand new… Mr. Pond.
Rory: No! I’m not Mr. Pond. That’s not how it works.
Doctor: Yeah it is.
Rory: Yeah, it is.
Absolutely. I respect a woman’s decision to take her husband’s name as equally as I respect her decision not to: it’s a personal thing, and we shouldn’t judge women for their decision. I’m so glad to see Amy not only keeping her name, but giving Melody and Rory her surname too. And it’s true, Melody Williams is a Geography teacher’s name.

Who says we can’t have a bit of a laugh in the midst of all this gloomy news?

One of the many stories that has disgusted me.

What’s happened is devastating and awful, yet paradoxically some of my faith in the human race has been restored by such images.

Boris Johnson has never failed to save the day.

TOM FELTON, LIVING EVERY FANGIRLS’ DREAM: BEING PUSHED UP AGAINST A WALL BY ALAN RICKMAN.
“I don’t need protection!”
I’ve never been able to watch Half Blood Prince in the same way once someone pointed out the dodgy way that line can be taken. Hilarious, though.
“Have we enough to keep it together? Or do we just keep on pretending, and hope our love is never ending?”

According to Steve Harris (XFM radio DJ), he always sings one of Pete or Carl’s parts. Does anyone else do this? I think I probably sing Pete’s parts with more gusto.
Day 03: Favourite quote or one liner from Doctor Who?
August 4, 2011 by herbivorousstudent
“Nothing is every forgotten, not completely”
Sorry that this is hideously overdue.
I could never really choose the best quote, but this is one of my recent favourites. First of all, such a simple one-liner sums up so perfectly Series 5, for so many reasons. It gives hope, for Amy who has lost so many who she can’t even remember. Rory is not lost forever, and Amy will remember one day; this is the line that we must keep on repeating to ourselves when the Doctor flies into the Pandorica, to convince ourselves that such a great man surely cannot be forgotten overnight.
And yet, this line cannot, must not, be restricted to series 5. This line gives a glimpse of the Doctor’s past, reminds us with a jolt all that he has lost. When we first meet the Doctor after so many years in series 1, he has a new face, and a whole history of sorrow. The Time War will never truly be forgotten by the Doctor, no matter how many reincarnations, no matter how many years, and the pain and horrors will remain with him. The same goes for the companions that he has had to leave behind- Rose, Martha, Donna, and so many more. When it comes to Donna, for me it gives hope that maybe, on a sunny afternoon, a tiny little bit of that life will creepy into the back of her mind. Of course she will dismiss it, but it will always be there.
All these brilliant and wonderful people that he’s had to leave behind, all these horrific and tragic events that he’s had to live through; this line reminds us that these will always be with him, he will bear the memories every day, and find a way to carry on, for he cannot forget. “Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely”. And it’s not the intelligence, the wit, the bravery, the charm, that I love about the Doctor: it’s that despite all this things, he carries on regardless, and he never ever gets absorbed in his own problems.
