What Did You Think of The Angels Take Manhattan?
What Did You Think of The Angels Take Manhattan?
The final episode of series 7a has aired so what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.
The Doctor’s heart-breaking farewell to Amy and Rory – a race against time through the streets of Manhattan, as New York’s statues come to life around them…
With Rory’s life in danger, the Doctor and Amy must locate him before it’s too late! Luckily, an old friend helps them and guides the way.

September 30th, 2012 - 4:16pmI did feel a bit like Rory was brushed to one side so that the focus was on Amy. Maybe they could have had a brief scene of Amy and arriving to reunite with Rory in 1938.

September 30th, 2012 - 4:14pmAgreed, they spent a few episodes building up Brian’s character and him giving his blessing for them to travel with the Doctor, so it would have been nice to the the Doctor break the news to him, or he’ll never know what happened.

September 30th, 2012 - 3:23pmHave you seen, BBC Books are releasing the Melody Malone book.
Unfortunately it is only an e-book.

September 30th, 2012 - 3:10pmWhen I first saw the ending I instantly made a link between this episode and the final episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Both the doctor and the main protoganist(Simon) lose the people that they love ( with the Ponds sent back in time and Nia fading from existence) and then t both the doctor and Simon travel alone with just 1 other person(the doctor with river and simon with boota). If you have seen TTGL you’ll know what I’m talking about.

September 30th, 2012 - 1:13pmand one more thing, why would he go back in time to tell little amy whats going to happen to her, then all the episodes with amy woudl be different! she would already know! maybe her whole life before he come back for her twelve years later would be different if she knew that he would come back, she wouldnt be a kissagram, maybe she wouldnt be dating rory at all, if he actually went there to tell her all that stuff, he could ruin everything they experienced together…i think…:)

September 30th, 2012 - 1:04pmEcactly! I absolutely agree with you. It was a very good episode, and I really was crying when she said “good bye” and disappeared, but i honestly wasnt sure why it was such a drama. Okay, the doctor cant land the tardis in new york in that year ever again again, but he can just wait one year, so new york doesnt get ripped apart, and go there to pick them up. or, obviously, they can use rivers vortex manipulator (hope i got the spelling right) to go there, river will, definitely, cause she has to give the book to amy to publish it. so, yes, didnt make much sense to me. sounds like mister moffat thinks that dr who fans are stupid or will just buy anything he gives to them…quite disappointing.

September 30th, 2012 - 1:02pmAm I the only one who jumped when the angel in the graveyard touched rory?

September 30th, 2012 - 12:59pmI really hope the doctor goes dark/angry on the angels. They deserve it. The thing is how can you punish a creature like that?

September 30th, 2012 - 11:44amI really enjoyed this episode but was left thoroughly confused. As far as I understand the quay building was destroyed so Amy and Rory weren’t held captive in that room. I think they were just transported back to New York and lived a normal life together. But the Doctor and River talked as if they would never see them again by why couldnt Amy and Rory just leave New York and find the Doctor again? Also River can get in contact with Amy to get the book published which doesn’t make any sense either. It didn’t feel like a definitive ending to me like when any of the other companions left. It sounds like I hated this episode but I really did like it! It was just the plotholes left me confused.

September 30th, 2012 - 11:39amThis episode happened a bit to quickly for me. The gang were happy, Rory got send back, they chased Rory, the ponds created a paradox and then the ponds got killed.
They shouldn’t have done it so quickly.

September 30th, 2012 - 11:34ami was a Doctor Who fan, untill Steven Moffat took over.
Mr Evil Fez
September 30th, 2012 - 11:28amAnd anyway, where did you get this information Tomuuu?
booboo
September 30th, 2012 - 11:27amno they haven’t
John Smith
September 30th, 2012 - 11:26amIt seems that all of his Weeping Angel episodes are quite good. Let’s hope that the Angels will make a return sometime in series 8. Oh god… I’m already talking about series 8!
The TARDIS
September 30th, 2012 - 11:24amOh good. I shouldn’t have thought Steven Moffat would have left an end untied.
John Smith
September 30th, 2012 - 11:22amWait, What? What?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Dumble dee dum dumble dee dum ooooooooweeeeeeeeeoooooooooooo.
John Smith
September 30th, 2012 - 11:21amWho said that Weeping Angels have to be made of stone? I’m going to avoid those evil looking, plastic Garden Gnomes that my next door neighbors have!

September 30th, 2012 - 11:18amI completely agree with The 14th Doctor and Classic. If you don’t like it, leave it. Matt Smith is my favorite Doctor alongside David Tennant and Tom Baker. Steven Moffat is a great writer but sometimes I think that he get’s a bit carried away and expects everyone to understand what the heck he’s going on about! HE NEEDS A RESTRAINING ORDER FROM DOCTOR WHO SCRIPTS! LOL.
booboo
September 30th, 2012 - 11:05amno the angels had been defeated and the building gone, it was lone survivor that sent him back in time that’s why he and Amy were able to to leave a normal life.
The TARDIS
September 30th, 2012 - 11:02amIt’s just struck me – the Angels weren’t defeated! Rory was sent back and what was meant to happen happened! So the Angels took Manhattan, but the Doctor never took it back.
Classic
September 30th, 2012 - 10:57amIt’s not Matt Smith’s fault, it’s Steven Moffat, he is such a bad writer.

The 14th Doctor
September 30th, 2012 - 10:43amMy suggestion would be to stop watching it and leave us who still like it alone.
