I'm a huge fan of Neil Gaiman and Doctor Who, so as you can probably guess, I was fangirl squeeing all through it. SPOILER: The whole "The only water in the forest is the river" thing, reminded me of the first time we saw River Song, in the episode 'Forest of the Dead' (well, that was the second episode of a two-parter but you catch my drift). So it seems that River will be returning soon... Anyway, I thought the episode was adorable, emotional and incredibly clever. I loved the characters and Idris was just amazing. <3

Haven't been too keen on the past 3 episodes, but this one felt like a return to form. Very nice. Also, didn't think they would actually say 'Sexy' in this show. I was a little surprised. Yeah, for an 8 or 9 foot tall, blue box, she ain't bad.

I've been going back and watching the classics (4th and 5th doctors are my favs) and of course watching the new season. This Doctor has taken awhile to grow on me. I really liked David Tennant. Is it me, or are they changing doctors way more often than they use to.

Is it me, or are they changing doctors way more often than they use to. I think it's mostly 3-4 years with the odd exception like Tom Baker did 7 and Christopher Ecclstone did 1. Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann are a bit debatable with their time as the Doctor due to the series being off air and I think despite moving on to new actors McGanns incarnation hasn't had his cause of regeneration written yet.

Yeh I wonder when they'll actually kill him off. That's 3 episodes out of 4 this series that Rory has been (more or less, suggestively) killed. They really don't like him.

I stopped watching when I saw that Matt Smith would be the next Doctor. You didn't even give MS a chance? In all fairness, MS is actually better than DT, because he's fun, rather than mopey and serious like DT was in his last couple of years. The excitable new Doctor actually makes me want to watch the program now.

Oh my god they killed Rory! You ********! Every single episode this series: Ep1: electrocuted by Silence. I wonder how he got out of that? Ep2: 'Shot' by canton. We thought he was dead for about 5 minutes. Ep3: he drowned. Then came back to life. Ep4: He died of old age, or insanity. Then it was undone. I'll bet he gets killed in episode 5, then it turns out they killed a clone of him. Dang, he's persistent.

Ep1: electrocuted by Silence. I wonder how he got out of that? Probably by that not happening, the only electrocution in that episode was bathroom lady.

Probably by that not happening, the only electrocution in that episode was bathroom lady. True but if you remember at the end of the episode it was suggested that Rory was at least in the line of fire, though it was off-camera. Still want to know how him and River got out of that room alive.

A pretty good episode. More traditional, but with a definitely intriguing story. All the Voldemorts, sorry, Gangers were pretty scary. Not scary scary. But scary for Who standards, definitely up there with the Silence. Interesting theory time: The Doctor's ganger survives and is the one shot on the beach in the first episode. This next episode will be the penultimate episode of this half series, and I think it would make a great cliffhanger. I think they've put in some of the underlying plot tones to link it, like the pregnant scan at the start and the eye patch lady showing up.

I stopped watching when I saw that Matt Smith would be the next Doctor. Such a mistake. Matt Smith is arguably the best Doctor since Tom Baker - and may replace Tom as the archetype Doctor. For my money, I think he's probably the best Doctor yet... of all of them.

The standard of writing is much higher for Matt Smiths Doctor aswell... it's like they're finally taking the IP seriously (even if they do still have a laugh with the characters) Fez and a Jammie Dodger anyone?

2011-05-24 16:56:00 Author: Macnme Posts: 1970

Well, I think it's in the contrast, taking the series into slightly darker territory helps to add effect to the humour. One of the many reasons I vastly prefer Moffat's writing over Davies. Plus an episode written by Niel Gaiman?! A-frikkin'-man!

I've been watching some of the RTD era episodes, and it's just not even comparable. Doctor Who has took a massive turn with Moffat, it's more of a true sci-fi show now, and less of a gimmick. Also, tonight's episode will be massive. It's the last episode before the half-series finale, so there will be a big cliffhanger.

Geez, and we all thought the last series was somewhat confusing. I'm really looking forward to this episode, everything just seems intriguing. Eye patch lady? River Song? Cybermen? I just know it will be epic...

2011-05-29 11:42:00 Author: talbot-trembler Posts: 1114

Eye patch lady? River Song? Cybermen? Sontarans, Silurians & a fat bald blue man. http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/a-good-man-goes-to-war-pics-20754.htm

Apparentely Amy's baby is called Melody. Melody Pond. River Song. River = Pond Melody = Song.

2011-06-01 15:12:00 Author: Plasmavore Posts: 1913

So Amy's River's daughter? I thought the cliffhanger was going to be that the baby was The Doctor's and he had impregnated her without actually making love like the bible says Mary was with Jesus? XD

2011-06-02 01:29:00 Author: abyssalassassin Posts: 717

And eye-patch lady looks suspiciously like River Song, maybe a future version of her?

I guessed the twist! (For once!) Can't wait for the next episode: 'Let's kill Hitler' I think it said. The series is getting even better!

I don't read theories or whatever by other viewers, and I don't tend to try to sit around and come up with my own. I never would've seen that twist coming. That's awesomes. I just saw it on BBC iplayer because I missed it when it was first shown. A couple of friends on Facebook had written about how they were surprised, but their words don't even really encapsule just how surprising it was.

I love all the Doctor and Nurse thing going on this ep how he change it to mean warrior, and the Sontaran nurse telling Rory that he like being a nurse more then being a warrior. two healers becoming warriors

Moffat loves the big, epic storytelling stuff. But most of the time the episodes he writes he leaves me behind having to work out what's going on. I still think he's an awesome writer, but it's just a slight annoyance. Let's Kill Hitler? Really? I don't have a problem with them killing Hitler, but naming the episode that? To finish off a massive, epic story arc? Not sure. Plus, want to see more Cybermen. Love those guys.

Let's Kill Hitler? Really? I don't have a problem with them killing Hitler, but naming the episode that? To finish off a massive, epic story arc? "Let's kill Hitler" is the sterotypical response to the possibility of time travel. It doesn't neccesarily mean they're actually going to kill Hitler. Could just be a metaphor (although considering there were Nazi's in the series 6 trailer, it probably isn't).

HOLY CRAP! I just figured out that the Olympic committee has to have at least one Doctor Who fan on it. The same goes for the committee that chose the logo for the next Olympics. How did I figure it out? I was watching one of my all-time favorite episodes, Love and Monsters, on Netflix and saw the preview of the next episode. It referenced the 2012 Olympics. It had the logo, date and even said London would host it. I also looked up when it was decided and it was after that episode aired. It is going to be when and where it said it would be, and it is even using the same logo. I almost fell out of my chair when I figured that out.

Interesting, did we know the Silence organised the capture of Melody? They were never mentioned in that episode, but Matt and Karen said it was them behind it. (There was the whole "religious government" + "monks with no heads" plot points) I love Matt and Karen talking together, they both always end up sounding like escaped mental patients. And that poster is beyond epic...

I watched the first two episodes of the fifth season last night (yeah, I know, I'm way late) because it was the first time they were on a public channel in France (expect a whole year for the translation to be made and add 6 months further for a free channel to broadcast it... I guess I might as well watch it on the web but I have too much fun watching it at night in my bed), and I must say I've been quite impressed! That new Doctor is just... freaking epic. I didn't think it'd be as good without David Tennant and the entire crew, but the new actors are lovely. So, now I think I'm gonna leave forever that thread full of spoilers For the Doctor's sake.

Interesting, did we know the Silence organised the capture of Melody? They were never mentioned in that episode, but Matt and Karen said it was them behind it. I'm going for maybe, they did have her in TIA.

Using the Regeneration Trick as a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card is getting old. The regeneration trick was only supposed to be a narrative short-hand for "we're changing the lead actor", as a means to explain why the Doctor had changed. It's just getting a bit farcical now.

2011-08-27 23:09:00 Author: Macnme Posts: 1970

---

Yeah, I saw the healing coming as soon as she did that bullet thing. Plus they are NOT going to kill him in the first episode of this half of the series! Have the writers been watching that Eddie Murphy film? What was it? Meet Dave or something... So, any thoughts on 'The Question'? Here's mine: What is the Doctor's true name? My question: If the young version of river is in the spacesuit at the lake and kills the Doctor, how come she is still trying to do it later in her timeline? The little girl Melody couldn't be after 'Let's Kill Hitler' since she used her last regenerations to heal him. Any thoughts? Finally, did they leave Hitler in that cupboard?!

2011-08-27 23:17:00 Author: Jedi_1993 Posts: 1518

Yes, there was suprisingly little Hitler killing in an episode titled "Let's Kill Hitler"

Meet Dave or something... I'd say reading the numskulls would be more likely.

There was so many ideas and themes mashed up together, I thought it would become a bit too weird. But it all came together, surprisingly. And not only was it fast-paced and full of action, it was actually hilarious. Amy assuming Rory is homo-sexual and Rory punching Hitler and locking him in a cupboard (of which he didn't return) were both brilliant. And I loved when the start of the episode got all "Sherlock-y" when River is trying to get the gun to shoot the Doctor. But does anybody think next weeks looks a bit underwhelming?

i feel like they rush it a bit too much shower her so soon and only just when you meet her as mels, would had been better if we saw her befor then or got to trust her

Good episode, nice to see a proper Who episode again. I love Moffat's lunacy, but it was great to see things slowed down a bit.

Okay I'm going to comment on Let's kill Hitler first. Firstly, I think that the whole "You used up all your regenerations healing him" was a load of tripe that they didn't even need to put in as in the Library episode the Doctor knew he would die from it before regenerating so it was a bit like they had forgot the entire plot themselves, Secondly i thought River Song became an archaeological after being released from prison. I really didn't like the stupid paradoxes either. Oh wait that's all i'm going to comment on as i am not watching the episode written (I say written, Whether you could call the tripe writing) by Mark Gatiss.

Oh wait that's all i'm going to comment on as i am not watching the episode written (I say written, Whether you could call the tripe writing) by Mark Gatiss. He's not great at Doctor Who episodes, but he wrote the (in my view) brilliant final episode of Sherlock.

Okay i finally got myself to watch it all the way through, and i have 1 comment. It was basically Fear her.

2011-09-06 21:03:00 Author: Kern Posts: 5078

Firstly: Tom Mcrae seems to have a fetish for Robots that can't walk properly whilst repeating phrases. Secondly Rory waited 2 THOUSAND years for her and yet 36 years gives her the permission to be unforgiving to him? On a more upbeat note I liked the fact that when he asked her to think of an idea they didn't immediately run back under Moffats wing with "Fish fingers and Custard" that was nice. Paradoxically having the conversation with yourself about how you can't rewrite time... surely rewrites time anyway? Also the Real Mona Lisa is painted on wood, Not some flimsy canvas type material that can knock out robots. So far this half of the series has been a real disappointment, Next weeks episode looks really good, and i mean really good. EDIT:: Also if you're reading this before watching the actual episode then pay attention to the bit when Rory encounters the "Holographic Wallpaper" only for him to fall through it moments later.

"Fish fingers and Custard" Ugh, hate that too. So cringey! I was impressed with the production design, shows they really aren't holding back the budget.

Have to say I'm not liking the recent series' at all if I'm honest :S It's all so melodramatic and "super serious", why can't they just have a few breathers and make something that's fun? I think the problem they have is a lack of communication between writers, as a result every episode tries to out do the last, and for anyone who knows anything about pacing that a bad thing. The scale of drama should be wibbly-wobbly, not just a flat line.

The God Complex, just watched it, in my opinion it was fantastic. Great ending, all the while I was thinking "come on end it now don't ****ing gip me this is a good ending", improved by the fact that Amy and Rory aren't in the next episode. Don't get me wrong I love those two I just think it was a great ending.

Great episode, random ending, and Craig The reason I think they didn't make the ending as emotional as it should have been is because we haven't seen the end of Amy and Rory.

Christmas. Information about the Christmas Special is starting to emerge and judging from the details below, it's going to be the best one yet with an incredible cast and intriguing storyline... We'll be bringing you more on the story as it emerges, but for now, here's that press release in full... Doctor Who Christmas Special Starring Matt Smith, Claire Skinner, Bill Bailey, Arabella Weir and Alexander Armstrong 1 x 60' drama produced by BBC Wales for BBC One Cardiff, 21 September 2011: Production has started on the 2011 Doctor Who Christmas Special in which the Doctor (Matt Smith) finds himself in war-torn England embarking on a magical and mysterious adventure with a young widow and her two children. A stellar guest cast including Claire Skinner (Outnumbered), Bill Bailey (Black Books), Arabella Weir (The Fast Show) and Alexander Armstrong (Armstrong & Miller), join Matt Smith in the emotional festive special, packed full of Christmas thrills and chills. Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, commented: "The Doctor at Christmas - nothing is more fun to write. Maybe because it's so his kind of day - everything's bright and shiny, everybody's having a laugh, and nobody minds if you wear a really stupid hat. Of all the Doctors, Matt Smith's is the one that was born for this time of year - so it's the best news possible that he's heading back down the chimney." The special, set during World War II, sees Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril, evacuated to a draughty old house in Dorset, where the caretaker is a mysterious young man in bow tie, and a big blue parcel is waiting for them under the tree. They are about to enter a magical new world and learn that a Time Lord never forgets his debts... Claire Skinner said: "I am thrilled to be in Doctor Who playing Madge who is a bit of super-mum. It's a magical part." This marks Matt Smith's second outing as the Doctor at Christmas time and will follow hot on the heels of the successful 2011 series, currently airing on BBC One until October. The Christmas special was commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama and Danny Cohen, Controller BBC One. Steven Moffat is Lead Writer and Executive Producer with Piers Wenger and Caroline Skinner, also executive producing. Filming on the Christmas special will continue until mid October 2011. http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/news/bulletin_110920_01/Christmas_Special_The_Stars

It's probably the first time I've ever properly came close to an "emotional impact" when watching the show, when Craig is thought to have turned into the cyber leader and screams in conjunction with his son. I never came close to crying or anything, but I found it very emotional, which I rarely do for any tv show. But of course "the power of love" or whatever saved the day again... somehow. Also nice to see Auntie Mabel getting work

Also nice to see Auntie Mabel getting work Same, when they put him into the machine I actually thought 'oh no!' The way to beat the cybermen reminded me of the first Harry Potter book. Shame Pippin (The dog) wasn't with Auntie Mabel. The Doctor won't die! He's in a Christmas special. But the finale should be good, there's been so much build-up.

I felt that they spent so much time building up, that the climax wasn't as fantastic as it should have been. I mean, it was a pretty good curveball at the end, but I was expecting more.

I thought the same thing as well, the show came out of the gate really strong this season, but the story arcs of the second half (since the "Hitler" episode) seemed a little half baked to me. Plus, they've focused on River Song so much the past two seasons that they've basically played out her whole storyline (and I liked her).

Plus, they've focused on River Song so much the past two seasons that they've basically played out her whole storyline (and I liked her). The Girl Who waited was actually one of my favorites this season, although I do agree about River Song, she seems so great popping in and out, but her ending was his beginning and his ending was her beginning, although they've got me a bit boggled what with faking his death, yet there's still "The Fall of the Eleventh"? I hope that doesn't mean another season overall directed at The Doctor's death. And yeah, also thought the ending was a bit underwhelming, considering all the wonderful buildup. Also, not that it matters but when I saw the end of "The God Complex", seeing the red car Rory got, I just had to loo up the season premiere pictures just to make sure if it was the same car or not, totally different of course, but that would've been funny x]

2011-10-03 20:38:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208

---

....and his ending was her beginning... Interesting point about River's story though, he remarks that "her nights belong to me"....back in the first episode when the Doctor met up with his friends, he had gone through all of the adventures with River that she had written in her diary. But their version of him was 200 years younger and hadn't yet...so in the period after he drops Amy and Rory off in "The God Complex" and before "Closing Time" (which takes place the day before his supposed death) apparently 200 years have passed for him, and presumably those are the days in which he spends traveling with River. Food for thought.

2011-10-03 20:58:00 Author: Chazprime Posts: 587

---

I'm satisfied, it was slightly underwhelming but I genuinely didn't think it would be the tesselector that would be part of it. I thought they'd work the ganger doctor into it, but I'm glad they didn't. Love how the Doctor is now "on the run" and has to stay in the shadows. Makes the show much more exciting.

2011-10-04 19:06:00 Author: talbot-trembler Posts: 1114

---

I think the finale was a bit of an anti climax as well, but it sets up the next series very well. The Doctor on the run from the Silence and having to keep a low profile (Good luck with that). Could the "fall of the eleventh" when the question is asked be the fall of the 11th Doctor? To be honest I thought that the answer to the earliest, ultimate question was 42.

2011-10-04 20:42:00 Author: sheepysean13 Posts: 27

Speaking of "the question", I still don't understand how "Doctor Who?" is the oldest question in the universe, because the Doctor isn't nearly as old as the universe. And why is that question so important? Is The Doctor's real name dangerous or something?

And why is that question so important? Is The Doctor's real name dangerous or something? He might not be as old as the universe but he can travel to the start of it. Remember, River left the oldest written message in the universe, and she was born in...um...heck I don't know.

What i think ruined this series as a whole was The Silence, I think that instead of just thrusting them into the spotlight with hi visibility jackets on was a really bad mistake on Moffat's part. Especially the charade in the bathroom and that woman. To sum up, The entire series was a load of absolutely fantastic concepts, That were really badly managed.

I haven't seen the Xmas special yet. But so far 3 users on this site don't seem too impressed, and both my Gran and Grandad have told me it's crap. Guess I won't waste 45 minutes of my life watching this, then. Shame. I feel Smith plays the role as well as Tennant did, but the writers seem to be the ones dropping the ball. Past few seasons have all felt a bit lackluster.

Yeah I agree... if was dissapointing to say the least, which is a shame as it had potential. I felt there was a lot of useless scenes which tried to contribute to 'fun factor' that should of been rejected in favor of fleshing out the plot / setting / characters / everything more. I know they have time constraints but it would have been nice if they... how to put this... em... just explained things better. I think last years festive episode was more my taste, at least it followed the story it was mimicing more accurately. Regards Dave

It's 60 minutes. Minus commercials, I assume he meant.

Minus commercials, I assume he meant. The BBC doesn't have commercials. I just assumed it would be the usual air time.

Never in my life have I seen anything quite so hilarious as the previous page of this thread. So many hopes crushed!!! so many dreams shattered!!! Back on topic, I think all the mat smith seasons of the show have been rubbish. they all have good concepts, but the show writers have tried to force them all into 45 minuets, so they're all either really abrupt to end, or explain everything so fast that I have literally no clue whats going on.

"...I'm a doctor, not a physicist!"

This morning (March 21) in Central London, journalists gathered to see Jenna-Louise Coleman (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebrities/jenna-louise-coleman/) (Emmerdale, Titanic) unveiled as the new Doctor Who companion. Coleman will join Matt Smith (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebrities/matt-smith/) in the sci-fi drama's 2012 Christmas special - read for all the details (that we know so far!) on the 25-year-old star's debut, in our full transcript of the press conference. http://i2.cdnds.net/12/12/618x584/pa-13108456.jpg? PA Images Steven Moffat (showrunner), what can you tell us about the character? Moffat: "Absolutely nothing - you're going to have to wait and see! It's not the usual kind of story, it's a very, very different way for the Doctor to meet his new friend, so [I can tell you] absolutely nothing. Not even the name." Jenna, how do you feel about being cast? Coleman: "Beyond excited. Very excited - I want to get started already." When do you start shooting? Coleman: "I believe it's May time, [for] the Christmas special." Moffat: "That'll be her first episode." Are you a fan of the show and do you have a favourite companion from the past? Coleman: "I'm a huge fan of the show. It's actually literally my grandma's favourite show, so she is the most excited person in the world! I think my favourite companion is probably... it's between Billie Piper (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebrities/billie-piper/) and Karen Gillan (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebrities/karen-gillan/), I think. "I've got a lot of memories from the Billie Piper era, and obviously I've been watching quite a lot of the show recently as well." And aside from Matt, who's your favourite Doctor? "It's probably David Tennant (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/celebrities/david-tennant/), because it's the David Tennant and Billie Piper era that I remember the best. But it has to be Matt, of course!" How did you win the companion role? http://i2.cdnds.net/12/12/M/pa-13108455.jpg Coleman: "I first went in before Christmas for a meeting with casting director Andy Pryor and then got called back for another meeting with Matt [Smith]. I just had an enormous amount of fun in the room, played around with loads of different ideas, got loads of things thrown at me - it was great. "Matt was in the audition with me and he made me feel like we were both in it together, which was lovely. And I just left the room on a massive high, with a feeling of, 'This would be great to do day-in, day-out, on set, together with Matt'. "It just felt very spontaneous and fun, and you didn't know where it was going to go next, and we were both playing around. [Then] I went back in for another meeting after and I was excited to get back into the audition - I've never been so excited to go to an audition before! "[The script] was called 'Men on Waves' and I knew Karen Gillan said hers was an anagram [of companion] 'Panic Moon' so I spent ages trying to figure it out, and I found out this morning that the anagram was 'Woman Seven'." Where were you when you got the call? Coleman: "I was in Marks and Spencer's, holding an avocado. I was debating what goes best in a salmon salad, and then I got a phone call from my agent and I was like, 'I can't carry on shopping now...' "So I put my basket down and left Marks and Spencer's, but I couldn't tell anyone! So I just went for a bit of a walk and tried to digest [the news] - it's been quite surreal." Steven, why did you decide to cast Jenna? Moffat: "We did see a lot of brilliant actresses, because Andy Pryor is a brilliant casting director. There was a moment I remember, I think it was the second time she came in. She and Matt were together and they both looked frightened, doing a Doctor Who scene, it was brilliant. "And then the fact that - which we're going to play a lot with - I think she's possibly the only person I've ever heard go faster than Matt. It was the first time we were going, 'My God, Matt's trying to keep up!' - it came to life as a partnership. We were so excited." http://i1.cdnds.net/12/12/M/pa-13108453.jpg Jenna, which monster are you most looking forward to meeting? Coleman: "I think it's got to be the Daleks, but then I don't know what's going to happen, so I don't know who I'm going to meet or who I'm going to be up against. It's a mystery to me." Are you prepared for the change in your life? "I think so. I think it's maybe something that will happen in stages. I feel like maybe I've had a little taste of it, but I'm just taking everything as it comes and being excited about the job. Doing a good job is my focus, really." Steven, was the character fully formed or did Jenna's casting inform the character? Moffat: "Well, it's a bit of both. The scripts were written, but the way it kind of works is, it starts with you telling them who the character is, and when it works, they tell you who the character is. "Just as a lot of the Eleventh Doctor is actually Matt, it's down to him. You have to let it develop that way, so it's both. It will develop and it will change." Were you always thinking that the new companion would be a young female? Moffat: "You don't think in those terms. You don't think, 'We now need to find a young girl' - I had an idea for a story and, as I say, it is quite different... so I can't really answer that without telling what's coming, which obviously I would never do!" Steven, can you tell us more about how many episodes we can expect and when they'll be broadcast? Moffat: "Yes, six of them will come out this year, including the Christmas special and then eight in the next year. Jenna will be appearing first of all in the Christmas special. "It's too early [to say much about that] and I might change my mind. But I'm writing it right now and it does have a notional title." And is eight episodes the full run for 2013? http://i2.cdnds.net/12/12/M/pa-13108473.jpg Moffat: "Oh, there'll be more episodes than just those eight, but these are the ones we're making right now." Jenna, do you feel any pressure about taking on such a high-profile role? Coleman: "I think, on the outside - and I try not to think of it from the outside - there's a lot of interest surrounding the show, which is great. "But what I feel comfortable with is the meetings I had with Matt and how much fun we had so again that's what I'm focusing on and why I can't wait to get on set, read all the scripts and just start doing my job! So I'm trying not to look at those pressures and just be excited about the job in itself." What's it been like living with the secret? Coleman: "I'm so relieved for today. My flatmates have had no idea, I've had so many text messages this morning! My flatmates thought I was going to be going off to do this other job, and it's opened up this whole web of lies. "I've realised that I'm actually quite a good liar, which is terrifying actually! A few members of my family knew, but it's a huge relief today to be able to tell my flatmates!" Have you received any advice from past Doctor Who stars? Coleman: "No, I haven't. But I am heading to Cardiff this week, so maybe I might bump into Karen at some point then. I've had a few conversations with Matt, who's been amazing. "He text me this morning as well, wishing me good luck and, 'We're gonna have the best time ever', I think were his words! So he's been very supportive and excited." http://i2.cdnds.net/11/37/618_cult_doctor_who_s06_ep_11_04.jpg? BBC Pictures Steven, can you reveal more about Amy and Rory's exit? Moffat: "Yeah. Amy and Rory will leave in the fifth episode that goes out, and it will be a final encounter with the Weeping Angels, and not everybody gets out alive - and I mean it this time!" And with their departure, does that mean we've seen the last of River Song (Alex Kingston) too? Moffat: "No, not necessarily." How long do you think Matt Smith will stay with the show? Moffat: "Honestly we don't know. We take it a year at a time and that's the only sensible way you can go with it. It takes a huge amount of time, filming a series of Doctor Who and towards the end of that, you have to consider whether you're going to push on to another one. "So the honest answer is, we don't know. We'll keep him as long as we can, that's the absolute truth. And he hasn't made up his mind yet." Doctor Who will return to BBC One in the Autumn. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a372323/doctor-who-jenna-louise-coleman-the-press-conference-in-full.html

I thought they just sent you back in time to live out your life peacefully and ate your future energy or whatever or in the case of the last angel encounter... make you count backwards and steal your voice =p But thanks for the info Rabid XD

Ah, thanks for clearing that up... forgot about those points. I kinda liked the killing you nicely approach though, was different from most of the creatures they show and in my opinion more interesting.

Yeh they kinda ruined them after that.

Have you also noticed how none of the characters have worked out that they could just alternate which eye they have closed at any one time to ensure they are always looking at an angel...? would ruin the entire threat but still... bet they would be kicking themselves after working that out =p

Too bad they (at least, the original angels) can mess with the lights. EDIT: I remember thinking about what would happen if you exploded them while keeping an eye on them. I liked it in the original episode where we didn't see what they looked like when we looked away, leaving a mystery, as if the angels were perception filters or whatever. That's still possible, but I still would've liked them to not have shown them moving during the scene with Amy.

The trailer didn't get me that excited, they showed far too much of the cowboy story arc and not enough short clips of the others. I know they want the new companion and the stories with her to be 'secret' but they could still show some more couldn't they? Only thing that interested me was the (presumably) Dalek eye stalk at the end, didn't they say the Daleks were taking a break? Or could they not get through customs?

They go a whole season and they acknowledge this remarkable feat with "yup we went a whole season (roughly), that gives us enough reason to put them in the first episode". ANYWAY I'm still stoked for it, it seems so long since the last season ended.

That's still possible, but I still would've liked them to not have shown them moving during the scene with Amy. We still don't know what they look like when moving. Though I agree that watching them move at all ruins their creepiness slightly, I think the Doctor mentions at some point that the angels wouldn't be sure if she was looking at them or not, hence why they remained in their stone form, but watched Amy walk past to check it she was looking at them or not. So we don't know what they look like when they know for a fact they are unseen, all we know is that they can move in their stone form if they are not sure whether they are being looked at. I may have that completely wrong but yeah. I always envisioned the angels looking totally grotesque in their normal form, not looking like their stone form in the slightest. But I'd prefer it if we never found out.

If that's the case, then nevermind. I just thought they were actually showing that when the weeping Angela move at any time, they still look like weeping angels. I do agree, the idea of them being some weird creature, but without them ever revealing what they really might look like.

2012-03-27 21:38:00 Author: Dragonvarsity Posts: 5208

To be honest I think they'd just look like their attacking form, fangs and claws etc but still maintaining traditional humanoid form.

I wonder... if an angel stares at itself will it freeze? Cause then the characters could wear mirrors and the angels would be doomed =p Also, I also kinda like the idea that the angels remain angel like in appearance constantly... it would add a layer of depth to the show suggesting that humans didn't just randomly dream of angels (actually statues =p) and that they have been among us for a long time... but thats just my opinion XD

I wonder... if an angel stares at itself will it freeze? Cause then the characters could wear mirrors and the angels would be doomed =p In their first episode, four of them got stuck staring at each other for eternity, so yes.

He means if one stares at itself, not another angel.

He means if one stares at itself, not another angel. See Boomy gets me XD kinda why I used the wording "Itself" maybe they will answer this question in the next series... would be hilarious if all you had to do was hide in a hall of mirrors =p but then again... if they are gonna kill off some main characters (as indicated by Rabid's posted interview) then that probably won't happen... =/ As for the Daleks coming back in ep 1... well I'd like them to do something interesting, like the Human Dalek (The 50/50 version rather than the budget mostly human one) in Manhatten episode... but sadly they probably won't

Theres a good analysis of the trailer here. http://doctorwhospoilers.com/2011/5270 I guess agressive stares makes more sense but I was hoping for agressive stairs. if they are gonna kill off some main characters (as indicated by Rabid's posted interview) then that probably won't happen... =/ Steven Moffat presents The Boy Who Cried Wolf. After two series of false deaths we're at the point where we really don't believe his claims and they'll finally end up being true.

I guess agressive stares makes more sense but I was hoping for agressive stairs. That's what I thought at first aswell. xD I do agree that I would've liked to see a bit more footage from other episodes, but I did like it when the dalek eyestalk popped out at the end.

Meh... beats the last christmas episode... I'm all for encouraging writers at an early age but maybe primary school kids are too early... they should open these public scripts opportunities up to secondary/high schools or even as far as universities. It would be great to see a story written by the fans who have a sense of plot, characters, progression and all that jazz XD I really hope that that wasn't canon though... it broke the angels too much

Yep, that episode was pitiful. I liked it when Christopher Eccleston was the doctor and Doctor Who wasn't being aimed primarily at children. And the budget was higher. And the acting was better. And, to me, it was actually quite unnerving.

And, to me, it was actually quite unnerving. This is a strange comment to make since a lot of the episodes in the new season are darker than season 1. I agree that Smith does seem to feel a bit childish for the show (bowties are cool, really?), but the scripts by Moffat are not more childish. The acting, meh, I don't think it's bad acting, i think it's weird personalities for the show. Personally I liked the Tennant seasons because it mixed comedy so well with seriousness when Tate was around. I never felt any connection to Eccleston as I found him hard to be serious as I took him as goofy from his begininng jokes and his face that he often made, so when a serious moment came along I was always kind of disconnected from the scene.

Speaking at the TV Guide Magazine Fan Favourites' panel at San Diego Comic-Con today (July 14), the actor revealed that the series's first episode 'Asylum of the Daleks' would be broadcast some time in August. http://i2.cdnds.net/12/23/618x339/tv_doctor_who_matt_smith_jenna_louise_coleman_on_l ocation.jpg? BBC The confirmation comes after news that the episode will be given a public premiere at BFI Southbank (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a389542/doctor-who-season-seven-premiere-title-first-screening-revealed.html) in London on August 14, while it will also be screened at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, which takes place from August 23 to August 25. Series six episode 'Let's Kill Hitler' was given its first showing at the Festival last year and broadcast on BBC One the following day, with Smith's revelation suggesting that this may also be the case with 'Asylum of the Daleks'. However, the BBC has yet to confirm an official air date for the new series. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a393394/doctor-who-series-seven-to-air-in-august-says-matt-smith.html

I didn't mind Matt Smith, but it was like he was told to be disconnected, yet at times he'd have bursts of uncharacteristic angry concentration and it was almost like a contradiction of his own nature.

Potential spoiler alert (sorry but I can't seem to find the tags) Whoa wait a minute... in Rabid's trailer, is that Dalek Khan at 0:13 - 0:14? He couldn't of survived again? could he?

Maybe... would make for an interesting twist if it was him though, it might also make sense since he was kinda against the Daleks in his last episode. It would also bring into question if it's a Dalek asylum or they are seeking asylum, maybe from that time lock bubble thing? I'd like to see him as some kind of Dalek religious leader who is trying to redeem the species using his knowledge of time.

Not a fan of amy and rory, sorry. Donna noble was a far better character, even if it was a bit weird seeing catherine tate do it :L

So. What did you guys think? Spoiler: *Imagine a Darlik going round its cell making souffle-ish motions with its plunger. Just the saddest thing.*

Well... didn't see that ending coming... I was convinced for the longest time that we might of got a new companion. Satisfying episode. Although... didn't they say in the last series that something apocalyptic would happen when the question "Doctor who?" was asked?

Although... didn't they say in the last series that something apocalyptic would happen when the question "Doctor who?" was asked? Yeah, that's what I thought too. Although it's already been confirmed that we're getting a new companion mid-season, and there was actually a picture taken of the woman with Matt Smith. My memory might not be the clearest, but I could've sworn the two were the same. I suppose anything's possible though, but if the Doctor's gonna start going to saving people from past adventures, he's got quite the backlog to go through. Ones of most recent memory would include that woman from the Silurian two-parter during Season 5 who's still waiting to be rescued, underground. (Unless of course, he saves past people offscreen )

Although... didn't they say in the last series that something apocalyptic would happen when the question "Doctor who?" was asked? I think we HAVE seen the new companion! She made the Daleks forget Dr Who and that's going to cause quite the problem. He's going to have to undo that if history isn't going to be altered indefinitely... so, he's going to have to prevent her from crashing on the planet! watch and see. Why is she so good at hacking? Who taught her... (statement or question?) and remember, only we saw her and heard her, Dr Who didn't. He just saw a dalek and heard a dalek Don't you also think that she was very sure of her self, just as Dr Who it? Daughter?

Well just to confirm, I watched the credits again and checked the new companion news articles on the BBC. It is the same person... not sure about anyone else but she certainly proved she would be perfect in the role. Spoilers. so the question now is how the transformation will occur, or how far the Daleks actually transformed her body, the doctor said full conversion but we did see that scene where she was human linked up to Dalek tech so maybe her body isn't actually damaged and only her mind is broken. We know from Daleks in Manhatten that a Dalek suit can hold a human sized body, so it isn't too much of a strech. @Gribble, sure it could be time travel, but surely every Dalek before that point in time would still remember him so history wouldn't be damaged... well that's assuming the hive mind doesn't work across time itself of course. As to saving her, he can't before the events of the episode, if he did then he wouldn't of had a reason to save her and we'd meet our old friend paradox again. Remember he can't travel back and change his own time stream.

Remember he can't travel back and change his own time stream. A paradox only exists in theory or science fiction. Dr Who is fantasy so rules can be bent. It would be more dangerous for the universe (Who talk) if Dr Who left things the way they are. There will be some considering on Whos part but at the end of the day he will risk changing the past in order to secure stability overall. And I still think that Dr Who and the girl are related in some way. That would also be quite a nice dilemma for Dr Who to consider, especially if he found out before then that she was related. That's an interesting double whammy they're often playing on the fact that we don't always know if he has companions for their sake or his. So the theme could be: Did he do it for himself, because she was family, or because he truly wanted to save the universe? In fact there's so much in there to broaden and deepen Dr Whos character that I'm more or less certain it will be along those lines What happened to the Doctor's daughter after the Doctor Who episode “The Doctors Daughter”? http://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/3056/what-happened-to-the-doctors-daughter-after-the-doctor-who-episode-the-doctors Synopsis of 'The Doctors Daughter' http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doctor%27s_Daughter_%28TV_story%29 Back on Messaline, Hath Gable and Cline look at Jenny's body in sadness. Jenny's revival Suddenly, she breathes out a cloud of green gas from the Source and revives just as the Doctor had hoped. She smiles and says, "Hello boys", before running off into the ship. Gable and Cline follow her to find she is taking one of the escape shuttles. Cline asks her what she is doing over the intercom and Jenny laughs if he is going to tell her dad on her, saying she has a lot to see, planets to save, rescue civilisations, monsters to defeat, and an awful lot of running to do.

I always wished the Doctor's daughter would return. Would be interesting to have another non-human companion.

I thought the doctor would meet her sometime in the past, thus giving her an ultimate demise that the doctor knows of while she is a companion giving us some interesting plot . And I loved the episode, I don't care what anyone else thinks .

I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of the new season. *Spoilers* Couldn't help but feel the ending wasn't very... Dalek. I mean, The Cult of Skaro killed Dalek Sec on the grounds he was no longer a pure Dalek, or even a Dalek at all, yet it's perfectly OK to take a Human and turn them into a Dalek. Slight inconsistencies in the rulebook of Dalek conduct I believe.

I was under the assumption that it was the insane Daleks that changed her. They probably wouldn't have cared.

Ok new kinda "out there" theory... but What if Oswin wasn't a Dalek after all? What if when the Doctor took off his wrist band he wasn't totally immune and started hallucinating? From that point, we experience Oswin from his point of view rather than hers and while he saw her accepting her Dalek fate, off camera she was just puzzled at his behaviour and wandering why he is mad? Then she escapes as the planet explodes perhaps as a stowaway in the Tardis... I know it's a quite different theory but it would allow for a successful character integration into the series without the need to alter the past in any way.

I know it's a quite different theory but it would allow for a successful character integration into the series without the need to alter the past in any way. The only thing with that is it would do the one thing writers should never do: 'It was all a dream'. It would devalue the first episode because we'd suddenly realize it didn't happen the way we thought. The consequence of his actions and hers are far more interesting too. The fact that the Daleks no longer have a distraction will enable them to proceed as intended. The fear of the Dr was one of the reasons they never conquered the universe as they wanted. I'm still inclined to think that Dr Who will realise that what she did was terrible for mankind and will go back to prevent her doing it. It being his daughter would also add a new dimension to the motives of Dr Who.
