jjpor | The Final Countdown...

To sort-of quote one of Eleven's more embarrassing friends, this isn't the end. It isn't even the beginning of the end. It's merely the end of the beginning...

Or to put it another way, it's the last part of Pond Life:

In which all is not well in the House of Pond. I think this is our direct intro into the beginning of S7. It has that sort of to-be-fully-explained-later vibe about it, I think.

Personally, I think the events of this part probably stem from a disagreement over that poor Ood and his predicament. I still can't get over that...

I may have promised more nonsense relating to the impending series tonight. I may have lied, a bit. Instead, content yourselves with marvelling at the cutting edge Doctor Who 50th Anniversary artwork the Beeb has commissioned (I was alerted to this by listening to the extremely droll Radio Free Skaro podcast - check it out if you've got some time to kill):

I was going to offer my carefully considered critique of said artwork, but on reflection "huh, could've knocked that up in Photoshop* in half an hour and who on Earth decided which monsters got in?" probably about covers it. ;D

Oh...and ONE DAY TO GO!

*or its free-to-download near-equivalent, anyway

EDIT: As lost_spook points out in the comments section, I could almost certainly not, in fact, produce better artwork than that myself even with the best computer graphics programme in the world with all the bells and whistles, and certainly not within a thirty-minute time frame. Nevertheless, I still don't think it's that good. Something about the differently-scaled Doctor portraits jumbled together like that is just unpleasing to my eyes, or something. Apologies for any confusion caused. ;D
