New Series of Dr Who

Doctor Who undone by a Coalition. :(

Now we know why they closed the new visitor centre at Stonehenge.

You know what really annoyed me, I mean annoyed me more than it should have done? When the daleks appear, and they are the rebooted ones, I thought the lead Dalek was white with gold studs. I thought imperial Daleks were back, but oh no, fuck old who save slying the odd Hartnell reference in as dutiful respect but no more.CUNTS.
 
One nitpick: would Amy still have that photo of Rory?

This.

If Rory had never existed, why would a photo of him and Amy be in her house?

Unless because she remembered him last night means he had existed after all, and therefore allows a photo to be in her house the week after, allowing him to be recreated last night, which allowed her to remember him, which allowed his photo to be there next week, which allowed him to be there last night ....


ARRGGGHHHHHHH!
 
Apart from that, I jolly well enjoyed last night's episode. Far more than any other this series. Some great laughs (the Cyberman snappy head thing was hilarious), and Smith's acting was rather good.

I'd pay real money to watch Pond get shot over and over again though.
 
He didn't actually have to do all that much, and you could imagine Tennant playing every scene there in pretty much the same way.

His reaction to learning there was a Dalek fleet in orbit was excellent. He conveyed a lot without slipping into melodrama or histrionics, which is what Tennant and even Eccleston would do in similar situations.

Although I still don't understand why the destruction of the TARDIS is such an apocalyptic event. Surely they lost thousands of them in the Time War?

Time Lords were still around to mitigate the consequences. The Doctor did say he was the only one who could prevent disaster.

Perhaps the last TARDIS carries with it all the power of the dead TARDISes?
Or perhaps it's something to do with the Eye of Time?
 
Eye of Harmony. All TARDIS are linked to it- an artificial black hole created by the stellar egineer Omega (he of the hand)

Point, actually. If the Eye is contained within the time-locked reality what is the Doc's type 40 running on?
 
Quick question, we don't get Dr Who here, so I have to download it, that one in which Amy gets killed, was it the penultimate episode of the current series?
 
Was it the light (or just me) or did the doctor's bow tie change from red to blue in some shots? :hmm:

I am pretty sure it was just the light - the extremely cool colour temperature on the shots outside the Pandorica made the colour look ambiguous, which could be intentional I suppose.
 
There isn't a snowballs chance in hell that Moffat is writing Amy Pond out. The backlash from weeping fanbois would threaten to kill him.

Add me to that list! She is the sexiest assistant ever, a little on the skinny side but utterly gorgeous.

Sometimes I use Dr Who as listening and speaking materials for classes, all the males, and most of the female students enjoy the series. I doubt that this is strictly legal but it works really well.
 
Eye of Harmony..
Pedant!

Well, even though the Eye is "sealed", we know that the Dr's TARDIS IS linked to it, so perhaps the question might be: As the only extant device linked to the Eye, could the destruction of the Type 40 cause some kind of temporal feedback to/with the Eye that destroys time and space?
 
Very good twist at the end. I was expecting something unutterably lame like John fucking Simm showing up again, but instead they really have locked the most dangerous creature in the history of the universe away in a big box :cool:

There's still a big reveal to come as well, who's been playing silly buggers with the Tardis? Who is left to save the day? Will the costume department manage to find Amy an even shorter pair of shorts?
