New Series of Dr Who

[belboid]

well yeah, has to be doesn't it? Struck me as immediately obvious.

Which means it must be bollocks...

(hmm, and Amy was fiddling with the key earlier, in the WW2 one...)

 

[fogbat]

there's some proper excitement on other forums about the crack appearing this week: some reckon it's the keyhole for the TARDIS:

if so, that would be AWESOME. but of course, it's a pretty big IF..but it owuld explain the pretty weird piece of editing for the final scene.

The shapes don't really match, though

 

[danny la rouge]

Does The Crack match the shape of the Tardis lock?

 

[Augie March]

Have we established what Rory might be yet? That exchange with him and the Doctor where he knew about different dimensions seemed to be hinting that he had knowledge of things that perhaps he shouldn't have.

There was definitely an arched eyebrow from the Doctor...

 

[Cid]

It was in New Scientist.

 

[janeb]

He said he'd looked it up after prisoner zero

 

[Augie March]

He's up to something...

 

[mrsfran]

All very Alice so far, complete with cheshire cat dream lord.

[yardbird]

I'm just identifying the keyway *locksmith mode*

 

[spanglechick]

"...the clothes designed by a first year fashion student..." fucking lol-apalooza.

also: love Moffatt's ongoing mission to make kids scared of stuff. After today kids everywhere will wet themselves in terror of OAPs... tis attack of the OAP zombies!

 

[mrsfran]

This episode is like the libidinal unconscious of Last of the Summer Wine.

but by Simon Nye! One of the better episodes too so far

Or, he's made them scared of falling asleep - parents across the nation will thank him for that one

Liked that one, possibly my favourite so far. Rubbish baddies, but I'm a sucker for a puzzle, and a puzzlemaster

 

[mrsfran]

Loving Amy. Love that she doesn't choose the doctor. Excellent, and such a relief after the last 3.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I was guessing that the Dream Lord was the Valeyard, and I don't think I was entirely wrong. Anyway, faultless.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Loving Amy. Love that she doesn't choose the doctor. Excellent, and such a relief after the last 3.

I actually thought she was a little weak in this episode - still had some good moments but certain bits fell a bit flat.

Maybe she was tired, being pregnant does that

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I actually thought she was a little weak in this episode

Something of a relief. The Doctor worked out what was going on and blew up the Tardis. He knew all about psychic pollen and clocked the Dream Lord for an id. Meanwhile, Amy simpered, for all the world like Rose.

Well, that's how it should be. Roles restored, after all the superAmy nonsense of the first couple of episodes.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Sorry, I meant the actress, Karen Gillan, rather than the character. Just thought her acting was a little below her usual standard.

 

[belboid]

excellent, Confidential confirms it was Nye's idea to make old people the baddies.

And a great line from Karen - "I've got gigantic breasts made of lentils"

 

[gnoriac]

Great stuff, love plots where you've no idea what's going on and liked the Dreamlord a lot, hope he gets used again at some point in the future.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

So, Simon Nye was an excellent Who writer.

Perhaps Richard Curtis will surprise us with Vincent and the Doctor, in which the Doctor and Vincent Van Gogh battle a giant severed ear which finds itself trapped on Earth and wishes only to return to Auralia 5. I mean, surprise us by it not being shit. But any hope of this is slender.

 

[Stigmata]

As far as i'm concerned they haven't put a foot wrong this season. Very good.

 

[killer b]

it's not a cunting season. it's a series.

 

[Stigmata]

it's not a cunting season. it's a series.

This whole series has taken place in Spring

 

[Lord Camomile]

This whole series has taken place in Spring

But it'll finish in Summer

 

[Stigmata]

Well that's next season, who knows

 

[FridgeMagnet]

*blinks* That was actually really good. Also, last week's wasn't bad either.

I wish they'd stick to either being shit or being good. Choose, BBC, choose.

 

[DexterTCN]

95% brilliant with a 5% wtf (in a dumb way) at the end to make us forget about it.

No doubt they'll come back to it. And good on them...actually a bit edgy for DW imo.

Amy got the absolute best lines....'are you calling me a boat?'....'whack her!' and 'I was starting to like it' in particular.

Was anyone else hoping that the the universe where the boyfriend dies was the real one? Annoying little prick.

 

[spanglechick]

ok - there was a red braces/bowtie / blue braces/bowtie thing going on as he hopped between realities in this episode, and i remember thinking that in the second part of the blink storyline.

i know this seems like a standalone episode, unrelated to all the crack in time stuff but i'm not so sure.

(and yes, i am watching it again on iplayer)

edit = now i'm not too sure. maybe it was blue all along...

edit - ok. red(brown) in real reality only. blue in false realities.
