Should The Doctor have done the thing?

THERE ARE DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS HERE.
So someone sent me a question on tumblr about my thoughts on the plot of The Day of The Doctor, about if the original plan should have happened. They asked me to reply privately to it but I want to share what I wrote back so I thought I'd stick it on my little blog and just share it with my friends. My thoughts aren't particularly detailed but I honestly hadn't given it much thought. It's more of a stream of consciousness.

Wrecking Ball thoughts

I was curious so I watched Miley Cyrus' music video for Wrecking Ball. I'd seen gifs and screen captures of it: a nude Cyrus in a destroyed grey room, an extreme close up of her teary face. It was noticing a lyric that drew me in at last.

Get nerd culture out of my goddamn face.

It's 2013 and it's finally the nerd uprising. For decades nerds, geeks and enthusiasts of books, cult tv shows and movies, and anything considered intellectual have been ridiculed  - or, at least, popular culture has told us so. Teen movies have shown us the popular jock/cheerleader/socialite character bullying and abusing the nerd type character for simply being 'different'. The book reader, the tea drinker, the loner, all social outcasts. But no more! These days, it's almost trendy to be a nerd.

Flowers album review

I like Icelandic music. The majority of my ipod is Icelandic bands - Sigur Rós Björk  Múm, Seabear, Amiina, Pascal Pinion, Útidúr, Sóley - you get the idea. There's something about the landscape, the isolation from most Western culture, the small population, that brings the people of that little island together to make such great music. Though my tastes tend to be fusions of indie, folk, pop and experimental with a touch of instrumental and post-rock thrown in, Iceland produces almost every genre so you can stop stereotyping and judging right now. And it's all very good. Now, for something very special...
