Kacey is Leaving the Country...Does Important Things with Jamie...

I'm moving to Abu Dhabi to teach! Big adventure, happening very quickly, very exciting. So what do Jamie and I do together before I leave? Spend a day watching Doctor Who before the season 7 premier… and make fish fingers and custard.

We made a list of episodes we felt were important to watch prior to watching the season 7 premiere (or we just felt like watching)

This was what we watched:

The Doctor Dances: Season 1 (Christopher Eccleston) This episode was mostly chosen because it is part of the introduction of Captain Jack Harkness, whom we LOVE! And this episodes never makes us look at gas mask the same way.

The Girl in the Fireplace: Season 2 (David Tennant) Mostly just a favorite that we wanted to watch. It’s an awesome Steven Moffat creation.

The Shakespeare Code: Season 3 (David Tennant) This is an awesome episode... in large because of the multiple Harry Potter references, plus Shakespeare!

Blink: Season 3 (David Tennant) Scariest episodes ever and best episode that the Doctor is hardly in. Moffat strikes again. And the weeping angels don’t get any less scary when they come back later. (Plus intro to “big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff”)

Last of the Time Lords: Season 3 (David Tennant) Even if you don’t love Martha Jones (I like her... but don't love her), she is total bad ass in this season 3 finale and the whole Master story is pretty great.

Silence in the Library: Season 4 (David Tennant) This is a good two parter, but we mostly watched it because of the introduction to River Song. It’s appreciated so much more after we know so much more about River. However, we couldn’t watch the second part, too sad.

Journey’s End: Season 4 (David Tennant) Defeating Daleks is always a necessary part of any Doctor marathon. Plus multiple Doctors and reappearances of so many great characters. And we had to have a Donna fix somewhere in the marathon, and Doctor Donna is funny (then sad).

The Eleventh Hour: Season 5 (Matt Smith) Welcome in Matt Smith! (We skipped the sad exit of David Tennant, we didn't want the day to be too sad.) This was also the part in the evening when we ate fish fingers and custard (Jamie did mix them and then said “God did intend for that.”)

The Big Bang: Season 5 (Matt Smith) This is an awesome season finale. The centurion that waited, the fez and then the doctor dancing at Amy and Rory’s wedding. Appropriate prep for the premiere.

The Wedding of River Song: Season 6 (Matt Smith) This episode confuses me a little because time is a big ball of wibbly wobbly… but it was important to watch before the season 7 premiere.

Then the premiere, which did not disappoint!

While watching this we also did a puzzle and played Settlers of Catan. The day jammed pack full of Kacey and Jamie fun!

Now we’ve been watching the burger episode of How I Met Your Mother and need to go get a burger (for breakfast)...
