Doctor Who - Fal, 2012

[braex27]

Daleks, weeping angels, dinosaurs, River Song and the last few episodes featuring Amy and Rory!!

Excitement!!

[will_zeis23]

I really don't know what to do? Watch every episode since 2005 or just 11s episodes.... Ohh the excitement...... I wanna see it all now.

I recommend watching every episode since 2005 (...I haven't seen any of the earlier episodes so I cannot speak to them but I have it on good authority they are brilliant).

[goldenmoth]

Oh my god dinosaurs! That's genius! I never would have thought I would see the Doctor go up against dinosaurs! (Although I always kind of hoped)

[braex27]

Since their first appearance in the brilliant episode - 'Blink' - I have absolutely loved every episode in which the Weeping Angels were featured. They were sorely missed from the last season!! Stoked that they will be back in this upcoming season.

DON'T BLINK!

[will_zeis23]

Sally Sparrow was arguably my favorite one off character. And proto Rory in that episode was fun to see almost naked. though I prefer Rory.

[braex27]

I can't choose between Sally Sparrow and Craig Owens (played by James Corden). I know that Craig appeared twice and is not 'one-off' but still...

IMDB reports her name as Clara so I'm gonna run with that and assume the above website contains typos.

Pond Life Part 2



Pond Life Part 3



Pond Life Part 4



Cannot wait until the new season starts! Not long to go now...

[braex27]

I thought the episode was rather lacklustre. Almost designed to show off the new companion and not any of the other characters.

****************SPOILERS!************************* ****************

When I heard it my thoughts was Daleks put their insane in an asylum? I mean this supposed to be a race with no mercy that never hesitated to kill their own before, it just didn't make sense. But they actually managed to explain it and give us a reminder that Daleks are not just robotic drones but are an actual living, if rather evil and twisted, race.

I really enjoyed Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Casting Mark Williams as Rorys dad was a stroke of genius and I loved the "trowel" remark it made me chuckle.

And the dinosaurs were great. They even gave the triceratops abit of character.

[braex27]

Not a bad episode at all. I am surprised the Doctor allowed a human character to die... interesting.

On that topic, I am getting increasingly annoyed with Matt Smith as the Doctor. I find some of the mannerisms just grating.

[ALBiMale1975]

`

First episode was a hoot.
What can beat Dinosaurs on a Spaceship?
What sucks is I missed the meet-up in New Orleans to watch it.
Had to watch it all alone.

i might be the only one but i can't wait for amy and rory to go

Actually no you're not. Although, I have to say I would keep Rory around as he has grown on me more than pouty face.

[unloadonme]

Just watched tonight's episode A Town Called Mercy. Found the plot very shallow and disappointing.

[jumblesale]

Couldn't agree more, both Amy and Rory reduced to background figures.

It all started so promisingly, too. I got quite bored half-way through

[jumblesale]

The fourth episode started very promising, but the ending was so fucking lame.
Where's the drama, it was like an episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures.



The Power Of Three...........my arse.

I feel like there's a common theme developing: the episode's initial concept is very mysterious and exciting, but the pay-off is a damp squib. I really hope next week's Weeping Angels episode knocks it out the park, especially if it's Rory and Amy's swansong.

[broadshoulder]

I am usually hard as nails on NuWho. I hated the RTD/Tennant era for its mawkishness and continuous emo.

But season 7 is really working for me. I have enjoyed every single one.

The ending to The Power of 3 was rushed and easy - yeah but considering some of the RTD finales where the world worshipped the Doctor to turn back time to a big emotional sympthony - I can live with that.

I though Tpo3 was a good suspenseful thriller with Sci-Fi thrown in. It really was leading up to Rory and Amy leaving (both of whom I adore) and each one weaning themselves off the other. Jemma Redgrave made a likeable and elegant UNIT scientific advisor and Smith was incredible. Some stunning physical acting, humour and gravitas at the right moment.

Next week looks good, But with Who a worldwide hit for the beeb why do they go to New York? Everything is set in New York. I want to see an adventure set in Cuzco or Angkor Wat. Both inhabited by aliens.

[braex27]

The ending was anti-climactic. With the unexplained appearances of things, I had high hopes that it'd be like the Sontaran episodes featuring Martha and Donna... but no, this was just a cop out. Most disappointing.

Have high hopes for next week's episode though - Weeping Angels and River Song, two of my favourite Dr Who things...

You like River Song? Everyone I know thinks she's a smug cow.

[Ram]

Disappointing so far. Can't wait for the angels and Dr. Song next week. These zzz episodes need to stop.

[braex27]

You like River Song? Everyone I know thinks she's a smug cow.

I didn't at first, but she's definitely grown on me. I think there is a smugness to her but it's justified given how much she knows of everyone's timeline.

[london12]

Doctor Who would be awesome if River was in every episode. Amy and Rory got annoying after a while. Donna was the best companion

[Ram]

Oh dear what a sad episode.

[borg69unimatrix]

I thought the whole season seemed rushed, like they were looking for excuses to push the Pond's out the door.

I for one will miss Amy and Rory.

Oh... and the "Pond Life" clips? I'm STILL laughing at "There's an Ood on the Loo."

I think Amy and Rory should have gotten their own spin off show.

[ChickenGuy]

They did so many episodes where either Amy or Rory 'apparently' or 'alternate-timey' died or departed, that when this episode finally comes round where they ACTUALLY DO leave, it all somehow seemed strangely unreal and fake and just another temporary problem with a solution.

Anyway, I don't get it. HE'S GOT A TIME MACHINE. And since we're led to believe that they both lived a long and happy life together up to old age, then he can visit them ANY time he wants (albeit except for when they arrived) OR ALSO before the whole episode happened when they were still at home.

I don't get the whole 'permanent loss' and 'grief'.

[borg69unimatrix]

^^^

I didn't quite get this either, or why River could talk to Amy (to finish the book), but the Doctor couldn't.

[braex27]

I think the episode is forced, creating narrative constructs for convenience rather logic. It lacks the emotional impact and finality of Rose and Donna's departures.

I am very very disappointed.

I also didn't understand Grayle... what was his deal? He collects angels and needs information from River, why then throw Rory to the babies?

What an awful episode to end on. This entire season so far has been disappointing.

[ChickenGuy]

Back in the old show (1963-1989) which I'm FAR more of a fan of, they never needed all of these contrived 'permanent' departures, companions just left, either by going home, or by falling in love, or by simply moving on. A brief goodbye was said. That was it. I admit that sometimes it seemed a bit cold, but mostly it worked.

They never needed to be sent to a beach on a permanently inaccessible alternate Earth, and they never needed to have their memory wiped (except once) and they never got 'trapped' in the past at some mysteriously unreachable timeline. The only new companion I've seen get this kind of 'normal' goodbye is Martha.

For whatever the old original series lacks in special effects, it always makes up for in character and atmosphere. But I doubt many would have the patience for the much slower pace nowadays.

[braex27]

Martha's decision was her own decision, unlike Rose and Donna. However, I don't think Martha's goodbye was normal at all... if you recall, she suffered an entire year, travelling the world in secret, spreading stories about the Doctor... That's hardly normal.

I think Donna's departure was the most heartbreaking - moreso because River flagged it in "Silence in the Library" or "Forest of the Dead".

[unloadonme]

I'm afraid I lot the thread of the plot in yesterday's episode and didn't enjoy it at all.

Bring back Tom Baker!

[goldenmoth]

I adore the new tardis interior. I think it looks friendly and very sci fi. Much better than the last one which was too chromey.

Gee Clara is going to be an awesome companion!

[palbert]

.... Bring back Tom Baker!

Yes, please. And get over these teenaged Drs.

[braex27]

I think I have reached the end of my tether with this particular iteration if Doctor Who. I no longer find Smith charming, don't like the new companion and not feeling the new stories at all. I will make an effort to watch the next episode written by Neil Gaiman and the 50th anniversary episode but that's it, I think. Sad.

[cc2011]

so its confirmed billie piper and david tennant are gonna make a comeback for the 50th anniversary!! anyone else excited?
im assuming tennant will play his human, parallel counterpart!

as for Wifi episode - anyone else see the name "Amelia Williams"..

[elioottoani]

[elioottoani]

^ Did you get to meet them ?

Well jealous,

I wanted so much to meet him.
To take pictures with him and perhaps to touch the ass by mistake, actually with intention.
the photo is taken from the web.


The doctor has lost his hair but bought the abs.






Actually Matt Smith shaves his head for Ryan Gosling movie

One more this weekend, then the 50th in November & the Christmas Special.
Can not wait to see what comes of River's Gravestone and where things go with the next incarnation.

I am just not enjoying this show anymore. I don't like the Clara Oswin character. I didn't even like the Neil Gaiman episode.

I reckon I'll just watch the 50th special episode and that'll be it for me and this series, I think.

Such a shame. I so very much enjoyed the show before.

I also look forward to Saturdays.
We already know how to die river so that it can not be his real tomb. Spoiler!
If I'm not mistaken Matt confirmed to be present also in the eighth season so we will not see very soon a new doctor.

I so far have loved every episode, some more some less.
The character of Clara looks cute, all the characters who stand up to the doctor are beautiful. In addition there is the mystery to be discovered in a trailer even if I heard clara say
