Take one giant leap for Whovian kind and discuss The Impossible Astronaut!
I am proud to say that I am one of those 1.3 million!!
I wasnt one of the ones who watched it on BBC america… Cant tell you where I got it from but make that 1.3000001 million americans.
Sweeeeet! Not bad at *all* for a cable show that’s still considered a bit “cult” here! Very nice indeed. I was one of the 1.3 million, even though technically I was supposed to be putting the kids to bed at that time.
(I let the more sensitive one play on my computer, while the tougher one watched it with me, hiding behind my hands whenever the Silence came on the screen, occasionally peeping out to sneak a glimpse anyway. It was very cute, and she’s really looking forward to the conclusion. She’s four.)
Proud to be one of the 1.3 million. But then, I’ve been proud to be one of the lucky American fans who’ve watched it since the PBS days. I’ll always be watching this incredible show.
That’s so cute
I’m from England but I’m glad people from America are enjoying it aswell and that Doctor Who is making it’s breakthrough

Nice one American fans
