Pickles and Who! Pickles and Who!

[apple_pathways]

I made dill pickles today:



I also started the process of making bread and butter pickles. (They have to brine in salt and ice for 8 hours.)

And now, onto Who News. (Cut for those who don't care. )

First, the trailer for the second half of Series 6 which premiered at Comic-Con:

AND NOW, the teaser for episode 11:

My thoughts:

• RORY PUNCHES HITLER!
  
• And rides a scooter!
  
• Amy is a badass! Yes!
  
• Creepy Minotaur is creepy and awesome!
  
• Creepy clown is creepy and...not so awesome. ("Don't talk to the clown!" Wise words indeed, Amy!)
  
• RIVER IS WEARING AN EYEPATCH? What does it meeeean???
  
• The Doctor in a top hat and tails with a nifty cane! Huzzah!
  
• Weeping Angels, whut?!
  
• The Silence are back! And the impossible astronaut!
  
• RORY PUNCHES HITLER AND RIDES A SCOOTER! (With Amy on the back. Ok, that's just...cute! Undeniably cute.)
  
• Ep 11 looks all The Shining, and that makes the horror fan in me very, very happy!
  
• The Minotaur makes the Greek myth fan in me very, very happy.
  
• I'm just VERY, VERY HAPPY, OK?

Please contribute to my happiness and speculate with me! What are you looking forward to? Any crackpot theories? (Wanna make one up on the spot?) Which questions do you think will be answered, and which will be just hand-waved away?

Just NO SPOILERS, please! Only pure fan speculation.

Also: BBC America confirmed the date for the second-half of the series premiere for August 27th!

Also: the magic chemical combination for instant happiness? Is apparently tea and chocolate.

THAT'S NO SCOOTER. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but 'vintage motorcycle' is definitely a better starting point than 'scooter'.

However everything is made better by the existence of Eleven in top hat, tails and a cane. And all the creepy hotel doings. I haven't got much in the way of speculation to offer, only flail at how plainly excellent this is all going to be.

Oops! Sorry--all things with wheels look alike to me. :P And in my defense, it was not the vehicle I was ogling, but rather the OMG FRICKIN' CUTENESS of Amy riding behind Rory on a whatever-the-heck-that-was!

It is going to be excellent, isn't it? We are in no way setting ourselves up for disappointment by over-hyping how excellent it's going to be, because we trust that Moffat and Smith and Gillan and Darvill and all our friends on the Who Crew are going to make it excellent, right?!

Holy crap. When did I become such a pathetic fangirl? :P

I may have been ogling everything including the vintage motorcycle.

I've just been reading part of a transcript of The Eleventh Hour, trying to pin down the exact moment in it when my heart was lost, but I don't think I can call it that precisely. I know I spent a lot of the next day grinning foolishly, though.
