    did you know that the doctor knows when river is going to die and is not telling amy or rory about it.

      I don’t think the Doctor will tell Amy and Rory when or how there daughter will die.

      well i does seem a bit sad that he does not but when you think about it all those things river has yet to do will not happen.

    No offence anyone but I loved every other episode but let’s kill hitler was not my favourite but the way Mels was Amy’s daughter and that Steven finally revealed river can regenerate was amazing so overall a pretty good episode

    The episode was enjoyable but only partly recognisable as Doctor Who. It’s now time to close the River Song storyline and move on.

      I think there are abit too many twists- its supposed to be a kids show and i know for a fact my bro and my cousins didn’t get it. I personally loved it but maybe they should lessen the twists and focus on monsters for a while.
      Overall I give that episode 8/10 because I make twists out of everything but now I have them in front of me!

      it’s a family show. plenty of adults watch it too.

    First I thought. How are they going to shoe horn this new Mels character into the group then. Two minutes in I bought it Showing how she grew up with them. Then when they really show us I was loving it. Good idea for why she didn’t regenerate in the Library. Nice closure.

    I think I may need to watch that again – I got a bit lost at the end. It was good, but considering the title, the lack of hitler was disappointing. Also, the robot tentacle creatures were a bit unrealistic. But, it was alright 🙂

      Well the title was more of if you had a time machine what would you do.. i know lets kill Hitler… you sort of got that from Mel’s flippant comment in the corn field “ohhh Time machine let’s kill Hitler”

      The story was never ever going to be about Hitler.

      So many older fans are stuck in the past….ironic isnt it.

      I’ve been a fan for about 32 years and I feel this is the best series by far – it shows up those 70s and 80s scripts up for what they really were.

      August 27th, 2011 - 9:12pm

      This isnt dr who. what a disapointment. I think steven moffet should rewatch the old stuff again to see what made this series one of the longest running, best loved scifi series ever.
      I know its sci fi but come on, How unrealistic. Hitler unguarded in his office, windows exploding, in the middle of berlin at the height of the third reich. Where were the german army? Gunfire in the capital and no nazis running to find out whats happening?
      Robot spaceship, Total rip off from the movie DAVE!! They should sue the bbc for copywrite infringment. I cant wait for this series to end. I love dr who but this spoils it for me.

      Agree with everything you say – Show is now incomprehensible

    • lepter

      August 27th, 2011 - 9:16pm

      What was the point of the crop circle thing? Cant the doctor just turn up without long winded convoluted instructions? (pretty much sums up this series though,,,,,long winded and convoluted)
      Its not matt smith, I like him. Its the plots. Bring back dr who as we have loved it for 50 years and stop trying to be clever. It will get cancelled again at this rate.

    • lepter

      August 27th, 2011 - 11:13pm

      sorry dark side, not really. david tennent was awesome. his stories were cool, well scripted, still enjoyable. 9th docs stories were cool too. I havent watched any of the series 6 stories again since transmission. series 5 was a mixed bag.
      I just like well scripted stories that entertain both me and my 7 year old son. this season isnt doing it for either of us so far. moffet has lost the plot on what it is to be dr who. shame really. girl in the fireplace, blink were 2 of the best. he is too fixated with river and weeping angels for my liking. get back to good ole storytelling. im bored of river, amy pond is too 2dimentional. How many times do main characters have to die, only to be brought back from the dead? love classic who, long for more awesome new who.

      Guys, you really have to move on. The show has. I was a massive fan pre 2005, but for me it is still great. Doctor Who has always changed over the years. I have no problem following the plot and it annoys me when people moan that it’s not as good as the classic series or David Tennant should come back. The change in DW is the reason it’s lasted so long. We’re lucky to have any DW at all.

    • booboo

      August 28th, 2011 - 1:14pm

      We dont have to move on if we dont want to, i like much of the new series but still prefer the classic series – there is nothing wrong in that, you cant expect everyone to like stuff just because you do.

    • lepter

      August 28th, 2011 - 4:43pm

      The show got cancelled cause ratings dropped….Have the ratings dropped this season??
      The show has lasted cause it works to a formula, a style. Change that style too much and people stop watching. I dont want tennent back, I just want inteligent stories that dont drag on for TWO YEARS!!
      I say again…have the ratings dropped this season???

      onone came to help hitler because the room was sound proofed like the man at the start said to hitler so dont call for help so nobody heard the crash

    • lepter

      August 30th, 2011 - 1:26pm

      No amount of sound proofing will shield from a blue box exploding through a window of hitlers HQ. No sound proofing outside when river was shot repeatedly by the nazis. No sound proofing when river shoots a gun and orders the nazi officers to strip down to underware in the resteraunt. They were there for ages but no german soldiers to disarm her.
      This is berlin at the height of the german empire!

      that is because she uses all her remaining regenerations to save the doctor thus meaning she can no longer regenerate.

      Awesome, everything now clicks in place! River was born as Melody, taken, regenerated in America (6 months after DOTM), grew up as Mels, met the doctor, regenerated into river, killed the doctor, got put in prison, had adventures then died in the library.
