    There is obviously a loop hole to prevent the doctors death, for one thing he still has to meet river song before she dies in the library with the 10th doctor so he obviously survives, further to this the tardis matrix pointed out that she had all the future tardis consoles stored meaning that unless the doctor re-decorates about 17 times before he goes to Utah he’s got a few episodes to go yet.

      i forgort to put this.
      River killed a diffenrent person not the doctor . Steven moffat has a plan to escape the doctors death. the valeyard was beatween 12and the 13 doctor so his future regenerations has to come

      it’s River, anyway it was proven in the latest episode that River was forced to kill him.

      hey guys i have an idea how they will save the doctor. do you guys remember the episode The Almost People. there is a clone of the doctor. Yes i know he liquidfied but if he was as real as the doctor he would regenerate wouldnt he. so on astronaut he clone died.

    the doctor cant die because the doctor will always exist in another time as in when he was killed in this episode the younger version came to that time so even if he does die there will always be a version of him somewhere to come back

    Well, I think its a bit annoying that we won’t see a change in doctor for 200 odd years… because the Doctor That died on the beach was a future one but was still the 11th Doctor… And also my Dad had a cool idea, Is the child in the astronaut suit Amy’s son/daughter??? Who knows…

    One thing that didn’t add up for me is that if Amy knew she was pregnant, why was she drinking a glass of wine at the picnic? Maybe the silence is making her think she is pregnant for some reason? Also the astronaut suits are very much like the one that River Song turns up in Silence in the Library, plus all the people on that trip were Americans, so could the little girl be CAL?! Just a theory!

    When Steven said it would come back with a bang, he really ment it! In the first five minutes of the episode, the doctor was dead, burning on a canoe in the sea!

    So that was a pretty strange experience, but the one thing i loved about this one was the monsters, they really are scarier than the daleks, cybermen and sontarans! Yes, they are the monst scary and freakish looking monsters i’ve seen yet!

    A good cliffhanger to, but just because Amy shot the girl, doesn’t mean shes dead, because shes still alive in the ‘NEXT TIME…’ trailer.

      Er…what were you watching my friend…maybe you had ITV on 🙂
      a) The Doctor died – how on earth did you miss that…haha.
      b) It wasnt really confusing…it was just about time travel…funny that 🙂

      Yeah, thats pretty insane, the doctor died 5 minutes into the progam, the new monsters blasted all the old monsters down to the bottom 10 and I agree with ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ it wasn’t that confusing at all

      No death , The future Doctor died and the woman called Joy got killed by the silents in the restroom. It wasn’t that confusing in my opinion the Big Bang was more complicated than this episode. I Agree with The Dark Side of the Moon you must have been watching ITV 🙂

    April 25th, 2011 - 11:27am

    A brilliant start to the new series, I havent read any of the other comments her but here is my guess on the new series. Amy is pregnant, and she has a little girl. That girl grows up to become River Song perhaps??? and it is River Song in the spacesuit that shoots the doctor in the opening episode?? She has said she killed a good man to be put in jail. Thats just my theory, looking forward to episode 2.
    I enjoyed episode one more than ever as, when I turned to look at my 3 children, they were all clutching a cushion to hide behind when the Silent creatures came on . Doctor Who at its best.

    The thing I don’t get about the Impossible Astronaut is that nobody died. Amy shot the spaceman before it killed the Doctor meaning he doesn’t die. That was the only disapointment of the epsiode. It scared me half to death with the Silence and I had to check the room in case there was one in the room. There wasn’t luckily.

    Interesting that Amy has a sick stomach and is now telling the Doctor she is pregnant. Did you also catch that River has the same upset stomach? Hmmmm

      April 25th, 2011 - 10:58am

      It is becuase that seems like what happens when you forget the Silence. I don’t think Amy’s sick stomach then was due to her pregnancy.

    This episode was just ‘meh’. I don’t particularly like Stephen Moffatt’s episodes (he should go back to writing so-so sitcoms) and I’m having a hard time warming to Matt Smith. And for god’s sake get rid of River blimmin’ Song. She adds nothing and is too smug for her own good.

    Ecclestone was good, Tennant was better, Smith doesn’t come close. I’m enjoying the repeats of Tennant’s episodes on digital TV better than the new Doctor’s stories. In fact I’ve taken to watching ‘classic’ Who lately – Tom Baker & Peter Davison FTW

    Looking at the clip, I THINK the ood are returning in ep2 and amy said “wait till you see what’s coming for you now!” Though she might be talking about someone or something else. 😕 ❓ ❓ ❓
