Dr. Who - The Water of Mars Party

When we arrived at the party, we discovered that originally everyone was supposed to dress up for this party, but that it had changed.  Unfortunately, some people weren't told.

The host's niece had the best costume and greeted us with "are you my mummy?"

And the cake no longer looked like a vibrator or penis, but more like a stubby sonic screwdriver.

The episode was pretty good, and the ending rocked.  It was a surprise to see this Doctor become so arrogant but it really made the emotional punch thrown at the end work.  Our host is now looking at throwing another party for the Christmas episode, but I don't think I'll make a cake.  Maybe I'll make cupcakes with no fondant instead.

Here's what it looked like this morning... 

 
...and yes, I know exactly what it looks like here, AND I've heard all the possible jokes about it from Snarkyboy already.  Obviously, there's still a lot to do to it before it's finished.
