Doctor Who series 6 (spoilers)

[charliepanayi]

In the next series, Rory takes on Stalin and Chairman Mao.

I really enjoyed that episode of DW. It also explains why River Song was willing to give up her life in the Library. She has no more regenerations left. Also, I still can't believe that the Doctor is going to die at River songs hands. I wonder will the flesh be used as a dummy?

[charliepanayi]

Last night's episode took too long to get going I think, and was an OK but not great episode. But I liked Rory's rather resigned reaction when he thought that he had died again!

Some people have pointed out you can tell the episode was originally planned for the first half of the series - (SPOILER)no mention at all of Melody and the Doctor rather pointedly saying that he, Rory and Amy were all back together 'in the flesh' at the end of the episode

It also explains why River Song was willing to give up her life in the Library. She has no more regenerations left.

I don't think it was really a way to explain why she would die for him since that was pretty obvious. If he died in the library then not only would she never have met him and had her relationship with him, she wouldn't even have been born. It felt more like an attempt to explain why she didn't just regenerate, even though she said in the library that even the Doctor couldn't regenerate from that.

I agree with you Charlie that it seemed the last episode took a bit to get going, but it was still quite creepy and I enjoyed having a nice monster episode again. Feels like it's been forever since we had a good creepy monster.

i don't think that the episode was meant for the first half, just because melody wasn't mentioned, and by him saying "in the flesh" may have been just a little joke, or maybe it's just him hinting that he is a flesh and not the real doctor........ but then again who knows......

[charliepanayi]

Actually it was planned for the first half of the series originally, though the things I pointed out may have been just incidental.

[Bastian]

I thought that last episode was appallingly awful. It took WAY too long to get to the meat of the idea. The first 3/4 weren't scary at all, just boring. Ugh.

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah that episode was somewhat underwhelming. The idea was pretty neat, but they spent too long mucking around at the start and not enough time in the actual meat of the thing.

Also I may have just missed something but I did not get what it was about the Tenza that made him able to do that stuff. I didn't get the vibe that it was their usual thing, and I thought there was something about the closet that was special, but as I say I may have missed a line or something.

[blackmage_nuke]

I liked kid Rory in the flashbacks but the rest of it was rather adequate in my opinion

[Psychotic]

Well THAT was depressing! I do like his new long coat, but it's made the Doctor into a real dick you know.

Also has there been an episode this season without one of them dying?! (this question is rhetorical, stop it)

[ScottyRedXIII]

the first half,

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!

The second half,

I kept leaning forward in my seat, really pulled me in. How hard must it be to chose between the wife you promised to save, or the wife you promised but left her for 36 years and she makes you feel bad for it? well it would have been easy for me, take the younger one!

But I digress, another running theme in this series, apart from a member of the trio being killed, is how many things are they gunna leave unexplained? Where did Amy get the samurai sword from? where did she learn to make a sonic screwdriver from? do one of the rooms lead to the library from tennants last series? please writers, EXPLAIN

But still a good episode once you get part the first half.

[Psychotic]

Hahaha yeah I asked the exact same question about the samurai sword.

Mind you, she was basically living in the Golden Saucer from FFVII so I suppose there must've been one lying around somewhere.

[charliepanayi]

I thought that was quite a sweet episode really. And Amy had been stuck there for almost 40 years, I imagine she had plenty of time to find stuff!

[ScottyRedXIII]

actually saying that, it would have been funny to see Cait sith just popped out the door saying "woops, wrong room" xD

[Shoden]

I honestly think things are dragging this series, the stories seem half arsed, the writing of the characters is iffy but the acting and the I WOULD factor of Amy Pond makes up for it I suppose. Been alright this week I suppose XP
