Doctor Who Discussion

[Marilen Yoshida]

Terrible, stupid episode in my opinion, I found myself just wanting it to end from about five minutes in.

Scarier than the Weeping Angels my ass. Offsetting, yes, but not scary.

Next week is Doctor-lite; looking forward to it.

REX!

Oh my God! Rex!

Ha! I just ...

And ...

Eeeeeee! That episode was BRILLIANT! Ren was right xP

[Kengo Utahoshi/Yuuki Jojima]

I'd rather have had Esther live, even though I love Rex's actor from Lie to Me*.

That...that finale...love, hate, love, hate, hate, hate. Basically that's the cycle I followed watching it.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

I thought how they stopped it was fairly epic, when they transfused Jack's blood into Rex =D

[Thoma Hirako]

I immediately thought "ass pull", but they had time; whatever. I'll buy it.

I was swearing at my computer when Esther died, though. Then happy Rex lived, then swearing when he died, then confused when he got back up, with a mixture of happiness and anger at the revelation.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

So, that's Torchwood over then?
With Rex immortal and the Three Families working on "Plan B" ...

what's the next DW episode?

[Suzie Miyazaki]

Just seen The Girl Who Waited, it was very sweet Rory's shaping up to be my favourite companion ever. Especially how he'd rather take the harder way and save Amy before she gets older so she doesn't have to "die". And calling the Doctor out on "checking if there's a plague once in a while" and "Turning me into you," which was really obvious when he starts apologising to Future!Amy. Also: He can pull off those glasses so well.

It's nice that Amy and Rory really do love each other =)

Old Amy was awesome in so many ways, especially that armour cobbled together from bits of handbots.

It was an interesting look into past and future versions of people, do they want to end up dead? Or wiped out of time, or whatever.

And as I said: The Doctor's new coat is very cool.

I still can't tell the difference between two Amy's in the TARDIS this episode and the two Amy's back in Time and Space.

I can't tell, who's playing that bald alien guy in the next episode David LLewyn or David Walliams. I'm sure it's one of them.

[Yui and Retsu]

Hated the episode; just bored me. Nothing new about their relationship, really.

So far the last good one was War.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

In answer to my last question: It's David Walliams ...as a mole monster using his Lou voice from Little Britain. I loved that little second of glee when he imagined a basket of kittens.

I liked the idea, of a hotel of nightmares. Not as in "scary stuff" but literally your worst dreams. So it was cool how it affected some people badly and those who weren't the target were just a bit "what ...". Mainly because it allowed people to be kind of art-studenty and reuse old outfits for the Angels or simpler make up and outfits for the more mundane fears like parents, PE teachers and being made fun og, which was very effective. It wasn't scary but it was cool. And I found myself trying to recognise every alien photograph, Judoon, Sontaran, one of those fly thingies from Planet Of The Dead.

And minotaurs in a maze, so you know, Greek Mythology! Hurrah! Speaking of which, it was really cool when the minotaur passed under the low ceiling was ... not impressive but ... y'know, cool. And the creepy bit where you can see it moving on the other cameras.

Again, they're using that TARDIS translates everything but it's a little difficult if they don't have proper vocal chords. Like they did in the episode with Van Gogh and the "Invisible Space Chicken".

I just noticed, when the Doctor goes into his room the Cloister Bell was ringing, I'm going to assume that it was The Master ... or Susan ... or Jenny ... or Rani ... or *Goes on forever*.

Next episode the return of three things I like: James Corden, proper, good old fashioned Mondas Cybermen and that AMAZING coat!

[Simon]

Best episode yet since the show came back from break. Really looking forward to next week.

And Amy and Rory are back for next season, at the least, if not the finale this year. They both said they were in a few episodes.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

I hope so, Karen Gillan's cute and Rory's amazing =D

[Yui and Retsu]

Not bad, not great, but pretty damn good, I felt (just short of great).

Looks like for the 50th anniversary next year, we're delving into the Doctor's origins and stuff. Awesome.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

... The Marriage Of River Song was pretty bad.

So, the first five or six minutes were the worst, though it was great to see Churchill, Dorium and that Silurian doctor again. That whole "Oh no the doctor's dead! We're trapped in a weird parrallel world we need to get rid of to save the universe!" was done for last years series finale, and this time it was much worse because it was just one episode to focus on it, no follow up, no nothing.

Minor point of grievance: A beard is NOT a good look for Matt Smith. But a soldiers uniform and high-tech eyepatch is a GREAT look for Arthur Darvill.

I didn't like how they used the Tesselecta, not because it wasn't a good idea but because they already had the Flesh as a perfectly good cloning mechanism, and one that had been a major (Though unreferenced!) point.

I was so f*ck*ng annoyed at the so called "Question" not because of how narmy it was but because of how Moffat's trying to get a third. F*ck*ng. Series. Out of the Silence. Thankfully that episodes poor reviews have apparently killed the Silence Arc deader than dead.

... Ugh, the christmas special had better be good ...

[Nago Baudelaire/Hikaru Kagawa]

I'll admit that the Silence arc is pissing me off due to two years of learning very little, but your point on the Flesh. The Flesh was the obvious, ass pull answer to escape death. The Tesselecta, while an ass pull, isn't as bad.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

Aye fair point.

I'm dissapointed with Moffat, we need to have a series with no arc words or series-wide plot.
