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.

WHY MOFFAT, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE CLOWNS? *hides behind sofa* Childhood nightmares aside, the next episode looks very The Shining-ish which I approve of greatly.

Confession: Matt Smith in his tails & top hat made me a little weak in the knees.

Here's my theory about River, which I have been mulling over since the last episode aired: I think she lied. I mean, think about it! It seems just like Moffat to let us think we finally know who River is, and it turns out she was lying all along and we still have no idea. I think Regenerating Girl = Melody, but Melody =/= River, basically. If she is, why doesn't she remember the events of TIA/DOTM? Also, remember what she said the first time we saw her in Silence in the Library:

MR LUX
Who is this? You said we were the only expedition, I paid for exclusives.

RIVER
I lied, I'm always lying.

Seems like it could be a clue, am I right? Even if I'm totally off, I can't wait to see what happens next.

Eee, sorry love! In the LJ fail of doom recently I missed your comment in the shuffle!

How are you??? :D

And about your theory, I was all: "NO! No way! River lying about being Melody makes NO SENSE!"

But who am I kidding? This is Doctor Who! Anything is possible.

All I know? I want answers. NOW!

*sigh* Is it August 27 yet?
