New Series of Dr Who

[tangerinedream]

I thought it was ok, it was quite creepy and I'm not obviously seeing either a 'doctor remembers he has a sonic pandorica unlocking device in his y fronts' or a 'rose actually is the pandorica box and lets him out cos LURVE rules and a bit of her breath touched the begining of time or something' type ending...

Though, River Song did say 'oh why do I let you out...' or something like that, so presumably, somehow she knows she's going to release him...

Have enjoyed this series a lot - much less cgi, more thought about writing would be my conclusion. Would be a brave, but probably quite good move to get rid of Amy now, I only hope SM doesn't end up going down the ludicrously long winded almost soap opera style route RTD ended up on, bringing back characters time and again...'Oh look, it's Rose's mum...' 'oh here's mickey!' 'The fate of the world rest with Bernard Cribbens' etc.

The whole point of Who is the limitless world and the endless variety of people of all shapes and forms he can meet, so it seems a really unexciting device to keep dragging back recurring characters...

eta, oh, was the reference to the time device that riversong bought a little nod to Cap'n Jack? A handsome time agent wasn't it?

If so, he now has a severed hand...

 

[BlueSquareThing]

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!

In the first episode of the one with the mine didn't they see *both* of them waving at the start?

 

[pigtails]

well he does end up as the face of bo..... maybe this was the start!

 

[8ball]

He can regenerate big chunks of himself (there was that time he got blown into soup) so should be fine with such a minor flesh wound.

Silly me, yes, of course. Forgot all that.

 

[Kaka Tim]

jsut watched this on catch up.

Very good. The cyber head with tentacles - and a skull inside - was proper scary!

Auton roman soldiers!

Class.

(still dont like the new-look daleks though)

oh yeah!
So how does he end up as a head then!

 

[The_Reverend_M]

cyberman head spidering it was blates nicked from carpenters The Thing

I was thinking facehugger from Alien when it opened up and was trying to get her head inside it.

...a total 'wow' episode - Who is back to it glories of olden days

 

[Lord Camomile]

Finally got round to watching it on iPlayer.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

'Telly', in abbreviation, please, or are you Greek?

Yes that was a silly mistake. I have been hanging round with too many guitars.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

oh yeah!

Do we know for sure that he is the Face of Bo?

I like to think he might be, but I'm not sure it's been confirmed has it?

 

[DotCommunist]

yes it has- cptn Jack is the face of Bo.

Yes, he lived for so long he lost his accent.

 

[punkrockfaggot]

It's obvious now that the new Rory is in fact an android.

Someone- whoever's landing craft was in Amy's garden- took her memories of Rory and implanted it into it.

Cue doctors new assistant- A fucking Robot version of Rory. May God help us all.

Maybe he was always a robot, hence the birth date paradox in the first episode.

(I'm getting the hang of this nerd thing).

 

[Cid]

No it hasn't.

 

[danny la rouge]

No it hasn't.

They muffed a really good chance for this in the first series when they met the imprisoned Dalek. Rose gave it some humanity, but it committed suicide. A Dalek as a companion would have been ... interesting.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

IT MIGHT GET A LITTLE ANNOYING AFTER SOME TIIIIIIIME!!!!

you know when the blood from your ears drowns you

 

[Lord Camomile]

Going on what I know of Dr. Who and other sci-fi/fantasy, I am 85% certain Amy = not dead.

Especially as Rory just came back as a fucking robot.

She isn't dead; the Radio Times said she's in next year's series.

 

[DotCommunist]

it isn't a robot it is an auton. Controlled by the Nesteen Consciousness.

 

[CNT36]

Eye of Harmony? I thought the Tardis ran on Cardiff now. Captain Jack heals but only from fatal wounds apparently. If the arm thing didn't kill him then its gone. Although its the future they could grow him a new one or something.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

unlike the nestle conciousness which just makes you wan to eat kit kats

I win! Give me the keys to the Tardis

it isn't a robot it is an auton. Controlled by the Nesteen Consciousness.

Aye, but "robot" sounds more dismissive and aloof

He's more machine than man, now

Wait...

What was all that stuff from the first ep that made Rory much much older than he should have been? I remember some nerds talking about it somewhere. His staff card or something.

*raises eyebrow*

well your mysterious sources were talking along the right lines he had a NHS staff card with a odd date on it... though when asked the guys at the beeb say it was a screw up not foreshadowing

Or maybe it was deliberate. Perhaps the whole of Leadworth is a simulation, with less than 100% attention to detail eg there's a duck pond, but no ducks.
