Two Amy Ponds Flirting With Themselves ... Do I Need To Tell You Anything Else?

Over in England, they still do Comic Relief. It’s too bad that Whoopi Goldberg killed the U.S. version (full disclosure: I don’t know that Whoopi is responsible for the death of Comic Relief, but it seems a reasonable assumption, although I do recall Bob Saget sticking a camera down his trousers one year for Comic Relief so maybe that’s what killed it) … *ahem*. Anyway, too bad that we don’t get to have a Comic Relief anymore, because the idea of lots of solid comedy in support of good causes is great. And that’s why England is better than us, because they still have a Comic Relief.

Actually, they’re better than us because they have Karen Gillan. …Although, actually, she’s Scottish, so I guess Scotland wins.

Anyway, as part of this year’s Comic Relief program, Steven Moffat gave the world a seven minute Doctor Who minisode, broken up into two parts, “Time” and “Space.” They’re quite amusing, and the time-and-space bit is clever as long as you are willing to ignore the glaringly problematic solution to their little problem. Which you should absolutely, unequivocally ignore because, holy macaroni, talk of Amy Pond without a skirt and Amy Pond upskirts? And two Amy Ponds in the flesh? Yes please. Rory, you are a lucky man.


Shortly after these clips aired, Steven Moffat tweeted: “Okay, okay - THREE Amys next time.”

…I think I just had a heart attack at the mere thought of that.

For the rest of my life, I will never ever EVER understand the love for Amy Pond. Doesn't have that human sweetness that makes you forgive a person when they're actively dry humping to shag someone the night before her wedding to someone else and then try to kiss someone not her husband on the actual wedding day.

Yeah, Amy Pond is totally great. Guys, she's all yours.

I'll watch these when I get home from work, probably with the blinds closed...........

In the meantime, forgive me for getting a little bit irate with you for equating Britain with England. England is only a part of Britain, as are Scotland and Wales.

Having said that, I would happily sever all ties with England........

Laurie: You clearly don't understand how hot redheads work.

They get a pass on anything.

Remember that scene where Mal finds Saffron after she nearly kills everyone? I was hoping he had hunted her down to make her a regular, naked part of the crew. Sure, she tried to murder him, but hey, hot redhead.

Can I get a card with that printed on it that I can hand out when I fuck up? Do I have to wear a short skirt and have a cute accent for it to count? Someone needs to give me the details here.

@Laurie: You Bastard!

Especially seeing as NuWho is a Welsh production

Yeah you do. Who the hell is Amy Pond?

Posted by: logan at March 19, 2011 9:34 AM

i love that!

Ehhhh, I'm glad Inara threw that bitch in the trash.

There are no free passes.

And it's true, Amy's not very nice. I like looking at Karen Gillan, but I wouldn't marry Amy.

Posted by: Jay at March 19, 2011 12:41 PM

Karen's too skinny for me, but the ginger and lilt in the voice are wonderful. And Jay hits it - Amy's not verra nice. Someone called Scott Pilgrim a 'good-natured asshole', and Amy's made from the same stuff. However, I think she's a realistic character, just not one I want to invest in. I've had enough, "I'm so confused, I love you, but I want to sleep with him" drama in my life.

Posted by: idiosynchronic at March 19, 2011 1:01 PM

Well, yeah, I like her, she's fun to hang around and banter with, but she's gotta grow up. Maybe she will!

More blatant time paradoxes?

Moffat once again made it amusing and fun, though, so mission accomplished.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at March 19, 2011 3:46 PM

Yes, I very much agree with Laurie. Mehf to Amy Pond. Also, is it just me or does she look a little too much like a little girl in the header pic (the one on the left)?

Posted by: vdo86 at March 19, 2011 3:58 PM

Count me, also, with Laurie. I love me some ginger - it is no secret - and I appreciate the beauty of Gillan, but I really dislike Amy Pond as a character.

Posted by: Patty O'Green at March 19, 2011 4:20 PM

1. Pond ignore the doctor leave on the skirt. 2. I agree with Rory two ponds no problem. 3. Of all of the doctors companions over the years Amy is the only one that I can remember, who was not instantly in awe of the doctor. She's more sort of bemused.

Works for me!

Posted by: Odnon at March 19, 2011 5:09 PM

Ok, i started watching Doctor Who on Netflix bc you guys were jibber-jabbering about it (Billie Piper was the companion) and it's good fun, but this is the first I've ever seen of this version. And while you guys are drooling over Amy Pond, I have to say that Rory is so hot.

I always thought that Comic Relief died in the USA for the simple reason that the organizers and principal sponsors lost interest. I can't recall any follow-up after We Are the World, so it's plausible - simple loss of interest.

And quite frankly, the current conservative war on poor people seems pretty extreme. I draw your attention to legislation currently making its way through the Minnesota Legislature.

* walks into unlocked Pajiba Headquarters building *

HELLO????? ANYBODY HERE?????

I know it's Saturday evening, but they usually do something even on weekends. I need my fuckin' fix, man. Well, it looks deserted. Might as well have some fun. Ooh, there's an office. Imma check that.

Aaah, books… Chicken Soup for the Soul; Ryan Reynolds: A Candid Look; Baby Goose: Gosling Unfeathered.

Wow, this is Dustin's office. I better not fuck around too much in here, he'll track me down and have me killed. I don't buy that "sensitive" bullshit of his. Next office…

Style manuals and writing guides? Must be Carlson. Whatever. OK, let's check cubicles.

The Urban Dictionary and empty bags of tortilla chips… Prisco. You know, if he self-censored his writing like JoRo does, his reviews would be nothing but punctuation. Wonder if he kisses his mother with that mouth? Next…

A case of scotch? Thanks, TK. Don't mind if I do. He better not try to find me, or I'll tell the FBI about his basement "man cave", which in his case has a literal meaning.

And here's a copy of Ron Swanson's Pyramid of Greatness and a mural of HAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM. I guess I know where Figgy works. And there's a bale of turtles at that other desk. I wonder where Link Wench is? I lurve Link Wench. In fact, she's my favorite wench of all, and I do like wenches. Wench. Wench. Wench. The word doesn't make any sense anymore.

Well, fuck this, I gotta find the garage and see if they got the Murdertank back, because I gotta put a hurt on the Axis of Evil. You know, all those "stars" who've never done anything? I thing I'll start at the Kardashians'. I might be able to get a triple score there.

* sends e-mail to Homeland Security stating that Pajiba is "again" abetting terrorists*

That'll teach the fuckers for not giving us any Saturday content.

Amy Pond is the kind of girl who has no girl friends. She's a be-otch. I want to slap the pout off her face. If she was companion to David Tennant's or Christopher Eccelston's doctors, I would be seething with jealousy. Since I don't care for Matt Smith's doctor, I don't care so much. That said, I think the minisode exhibited a great deal of awareness of how Amy Pond comes across. Her obvious fascination with herself and approval of her appearance were very meta.

Posted by: Colleen at March 19, 2011 11:53 PM

Laurie , agreed. Ugh, I hate Amy. Gillian is gorgeous and I would die for her hair and accent, but Amy is a flighty, ditzy bitch with hardly any actual character other than "sassy when required." I miss the other redhead.

Posted by: dsbs at March 20, 2011 8:39 AM

This is the first stuff for the new Who that I've seen, and I dug it a lot. I can see why people love both Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. And having not seen her do anything shameful, yet (because flirting with yourself totally isn't), I quite enjoyed Amy Pond. She definitely helps the hurt of my hangover, anyway.

@Rusty: You don't need an accent, but it is too bad you had to lose the cast. You don't need it to keep your HRH card, but it was a fun accessory.

Also...

:starts slow clap for Uriah Creep:

Damn right I do, and I'm not afraid to use what I know. Just do as I say and nobody gets hurt. Well, except for TK. He knows what he did.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at March 21, 2011 3:05 AM

Amy Pond sucks.

Posted by: Todd at March 21, 2011 10:47 AM

Hehe, that was amusing. Although, Tom Baker already did the TARDIS within a TARDIS thing, so the Doctor should have known that.
