What Did You Think of The Girl Who Waited?
What Did You Think of Night Terrors ?
After the summer break Doctor Who is back on our screens with the third episode, The Girl Who Waited. What did you think? – was it one of the best stories yet or just not as good as you had hoped.

September 11th, 2011 - 10:06amA good episode, nicely done. Again it shows that the standalone stories are far better than the rather over compensated arc ones which are now just dull and done to death. Certainly one of the better ones to date of this Moffat era.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 11th, 2011 - 10:05amhave you noticed there have been to doctors and two amys in this series!!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 11th, 2011 - 10:04amthere are some comments about the doctors death below, and do you remember whe the ganger doctor and the normal doctor swapped shoes?? amy thought she was talking to the genger, but she was talking to the real doctor, she said she had seen him die, is tht how the doctor found out??
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 11th, 2011 - 10:02ami thought that too, about the writing, i doubt she would have had a red pen in her pocket back then!!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 11th, 2011 - 9:58amas i said in my comment at the top, i agree, there should have been more fighting and less talking
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 11th, 2011 - 9:57ami do see what you are saying, and i do agree with you, this will become too much for amy, all the times she saw rory die in series 5, what if she saw him die for real and it was irreversable, they would always have that fear!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
September 11th, 2011 - 9:55ami thought the ep was good, but they dragged it out a bit too much, it took half an hour for old amy to decide she was going to save herself, i wanted there to be more fighting and action rather than the last 5 mins, and how did amy get so clever to create a sonic?? but the saddest bit is when the doctor locked old amy out and she died.

September 11th, 2011 - 9:33amI really liked this one because it was different. It was a good story in a good setting and the title could have been Rory’s Choice, to connect with Amy’s last year. lol

THE PONDS
September 11th, 2011 - 9:02amI thought Rory suited those glasses

King of the weevils
September 11th, 2011 - 4:23amGood episode overall. Glad it didn’t do a love and monsters and screw itself up(apart from the clom reference which was good to be honest) if anybody had to be the monster in this one it had to be the doctor

September 11th, 2011 - 3:59amSurely after this experience with the Dr, one for which Rory is aware of the Dr’s choice wrt his wife’s future self, this is rapidly reaching end of road time for Amy, Rory and Doc.
Its like when Martha Jones decided to leave David Tennants Dr, Once you know Travelling with Dr is as dangerous for your loved ones as yourself. Its time to step away from the Tardis.
Rory is pledged to protect Amy whatever, they also have a baby missing somewhere thanks to the Doc connection.
This is a travelling partenership coming to an end! Who will be the Doctors next Assistant?

September 11th, 2011 - 3:45amIts the same scenario as back to the future 1, Mrty Mc Fly knew Doc Brown would be gunned down by terrorists as he escaped back in time. He left a note with the 1955 Doc telling him of future events, though doc doesn’t want it can’t tamper with future events he says. When Marty returns to same scene in future the doc is still attacked by the terrorists he stole Plutonium from but survives because he was warned of his death before it happened….. Looks like same scenario to play itself out in Dr Who, he will meet the young version of River pond in the space suit, while wearing a Dr who version of a bullet proof vest..

September 11th, 2011 - 3:35amI just dont understand why people liked this episode. It was poorly written, overwrought and once again confirmed that Rory is the only decent character this season.

September 11th, 2011 - 1:30amThe glasses were very reminiscent of the I5s from Torchwood.
Fox Mulder
September 11th, 2011 - 1:29amOMG it was a very emotional episode, it was very reminiscent of those Star trek holodeck episode were character have to die to correct a problem. IT WAS AWSOME glasses Realy suit Rory.

September 11th, 2011 - 12:05amIt was what Amy used to write the message on the wall and when she looked at it, it reminded her of 36 years ago.

September 10th, 2011 - 9:50pmWatched this twice now. What a wonderful episode, funny, exciting and moving with great performances from the cast. Loved the Doctor’s face in the final shot.

September 10th, 2011 - 9:47pmI didn’t really like this week’s much – it’s all about Amy/Rory now (it’s just a romantic drama now) and they’ve sort of lost the whole ‘Doctor Who’ feel of the show. Looking forward to next week, a good monster episode 🙂
