New Series of Dr Who

[Vintage Paw]

I really don't get all this Kingston love. She seems nice enough but shes not all that is she? She looks a bit old and ragged to me. She looked better in this one than the last one.

For you: old and ragged; For me: experienced and dirty.

She's soft and pinchable, grabbable, smooshable, she has wicked curly hair, a sulty, sexy, slightly scary dirty knowing look, and I bet she's got a right dirty laugh.

 

[Stigmata]

God, yes. She oozes dirty sex

When she burgled the Royal Collection her catsuit made me a bit

anyone else notice that the crack was in the tardis' monitor in the eleventh hour even tho it didnt appear until river was trapped inside in the last ep ?

Which would mean that episode 1 occurred after episode 12 (and presumably 13) as the crack was created in episode 12, but was already there in Episode 1.
And in Episode 1 the Tardis was crashed and broken. And on fire.

So could it be that Episode 12 is actually where it all starts? Like Memento or something.

And that's why he took so long in getting back to her? Why he was late? He'd had a bit of trouble with a box.

But, but, but ... doesn't that mean they'll be trapped in an infinite loop?

 

[Vintage Paw]

Fuck me

yes! No! I. Dont. Know! :d

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

nah - Jack says he was the poster boy for the Time Agency / Boe Peninsula & got nicknamed 'the face of Boe', Dr. 10 and Rose jumped to the conclusion that meant he equals the face of boe but it doesn't nessesarily (at self nerd levels)

Yep, that's what I thought.

According to Wikipedia RTD has been very careful to discourage other writers from confirming the link. He's obviously not sure himself.

If it makes you feel any better you can lose some nerd levels as it was Martha not Rose.

 

[fieryjack]

I don't know about PZ being RS, but people have long commented on how the sonic screwdriver was on the table/box when it had merely rolled under the door.

was the point (and the most parsimonious explanation) not that it was on the box because Prisoner Zero had put it there rather than River having smuggled it somehow out of a prison? I mean, the thing was covered in slimy mucus.

*pause for comic effect*

it's Doctor Who, not Torchwood.

In the Eleventh Hour it was just a signal on the monitor that briefly formed into the shape, it wasn't a physical crack.

was the crack not static on the screen whilst a sine wave-y type signal played around it?
edit* see what you mean: it didn't look much like a crack on the screen itself

 

[DotCommunist]

I must be in a minority then, because she annoys the tits off me.

The character is a bit annoying but she is still hawt.

 

[innit]

The character is a bit annoying but she is still hawt.

The character is brilliant and she is meant to be a bit annoying, she's a bossy wife.

So Amy....

doesn't remember the Daleks
her parents are missing
her aunt is never seen or whereabouts accounted for
she has a room full of her childhood books and drawings
she has "too many rooms in her house"
lives in a two-storey house with a second flight of stairs going up from the first floor


And perception filters....

hide the room in Amy's house where Prisoner Zero hides for twelve years
are used by the vampires / Saturnynes
disguise the spaceship on Corden's roof

Other "perception"-y themed stuff -

Liz 10 wears a mask
Bracewell is disguised as a human
the angels' true forms cannot be perceived
hallucinogenic pollen
vincent has visions, and is the only one who can see the monster
the autons are disguised as humans

The only episodes that don't tie in neatly with the theme of perception are the two Silurian episodes, unless I'm just missing the link

I may stop overthinking this now

 

[BlueSquareThing]

Yes, and then it was just Amy waving at the end. Because Rory did exist before he died, but never existed after he died.

Ah - I never watched the second ep...

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Martha not Rose.

I remember those two. Don't they seem super double shit now that new one is on the scene.

 

[holteman]

I find bossy women a massive turn on...my mrs is as bossy as they come....I'm sure Freud would have a field day

It's going to turn out that this is all something to do with the Doctor aint it... after he first met her the tardis fucked up and suddenly she is grown up with no evidence of living past her childhood....

 

[Augie March]

Ah yes. He left and then said he was coming right back, but ended up coming back years later instead. I bet that has something to do with it.

 

[janeb]

Just watched this episode again. Awesome, matt is now my favourite dr, the last 5 mins, his dawning realisation and horror, outstanding. Almost scared to watch next week in case it doesn't live up to this

Lets just hope its not an RTD style ending, but i think it will be.

Last episode was so good nothing will live up to it. As a new-ish convert to Dr Who this series has got me completely hooked. It has a good balance of seriousness, humour and intrigue.

 

[janeb]

Don't even think that-thinking it mght make it true!

 

[Santino]

I'm watching it again now to look for Clues.

 

[Stigmata]

Lets just hope its not an RTD style ending, but i think it will be.

I think as it's clearly going to have a substantial time travel element the story might end with some sort of reset. It's a natural conclusion for this sort of fiction.

 

[Santino]

His tie is definitely red sometimes, and other times it looks sort of blue, but that could just be the lighting.

 

[spanglechick]

Not solving anything but...

"There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it or hold it or... reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world. "

"How did it end up in there?"

"You know fairytales: a good wizard tricked it." (Doctor smiles, broadly)

"I hate good wizards in fairytales - they always turn out to be him."

so - that stuff about 'nameless', 'blood of a billion galaxies', 'drops out of the sky'... he knows he's talking about himself. Must do - it's really very specific. But i think he's the good wizard too. has he crossed his own timeline to get him to this point? is the doctor saying this speech actually a future doctor to the one who is surprised to be imprisoned?

 

[spanglechick]

right. when he says all that stuff his tie is very obviously red. then he goes behind the box, comes out much more confused, and his ie is so dark (no matter where he stands) that you can't make out colour - but is certainly more blue than red. bugger - am going to need to check the dream episode to see whether blue was reality or red was. but not yet. now i must continue my rewatch.

btw. river said earlier in the series 'i'll see you when the pandorica opens' because that was later in her timeline. she'd already experienced this. doesn't mean it will go exactly the same or even that she'll live... but implies there is a way through it that she knows and isn't too worried not to tell him.

 

[CNT36]

I think Amy had the picture as the Doctor said there are always pictures like the ring. There were never any ducks in the duck pond because they no longer exist but a trace remains - the pond. The same maybe true of the extra rooms being the trace people who are gone. Another trace of them maybe the other Pond.

 

[CNT36]

In the eleventh hour why does the camera focus on Rory's pens before the name badge? Why when she traps the doctor by the car does she wear her watch inside out out? Where do clues end and coincidences and errors begin?
