April 26th, 2011 - 10:26pmWell, 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…

April 26th, 2011 - 10:03pmOne 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!

April 25th, 2011 - 8:03pmShe screamed because she just realised she shot a little girl.
The Dark Side of the Moon
April 25th, 2011 - 7:33pmWell the way it is left, it certainly seems like the Doctor dies in 11th incarnation (Matt Smith)…but I’m sure that between a little bit of timey wimey paradoxing and the crack in time re-writing everything AND the fact the older Doctor sent an invite to his younger self must mean he has something up his sleeve…I just hope its not as lame as the “Remembering him back into existance” finale of last year – sorry SM – I love your writing but I was a tad disappointed with that ended (which was another take on ‘it was all a dream’).
Matt Smith 11
April 25th, 2011 - 7:19pmNo one died , The future Doctor died and the woman called Joy got killed by the silents in the restroom.
Matt Smith 11
April 25th, 2011 - 7:16pmNo 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 - 7:05pmWho says the person inside the astronaut is the same person in 1969 and 2011? You never saw the face of the person inside the astronaut in 2011. I don’t think River is inside the 2011 Lake Astronaut because she would REMEMBER killing the doctor, because she HAS killed a good man, not WILL kill a good man. And if she remembered, she would not be shocked by the astronaut coming out of the lake.
I am very sure that it is not the girl INSIDE the suit. The suit is far too big for her, and her head didn’t really look 3D. It’s like a projection, like the 2D faces they had in The Idiot’s Lantern. She said on the phone the spaceman was going to eat her, so maybe it has by the time they got there in an attempt to save her. I think the suit is completely independent from the little girl who appears to be in it. The girl is trapped because she shouted, ‘HELP ME!’ when she was inside the suit.
I don’t think the little girl is Amy’s daughter, and I don’t think Amy is pregnant at all. The previews have told us that the silence have been here for centuries, but no one noticed because we could never remember. It is also told us that they have been manipulating people’s actions since they came here e.g. that Silent trying to get Amy to tell the doctor about his death. She can’t remember why she said, ‘I have to tell the doctor’ but that idea was put in to her mind by that Silent. So I think Amy isn’t pregnant and it might’ve been another idea implanted in to her head by the Silence. Or there’s something far deeper to it than just a pregnancy. Steven Moffat is clever, and I’m sure this episode has lots of things to throw us off course.
There is the matter that Amy screams as she shoots the astronaut. That might just be that she shoots as soon as she turns around so she’s already shot before realising that the little girl is inside the suit. That might be all there is to that. I will be very disappointed with Moffat if Amy really is pregnant, or if there’s nothing deeper than a normal pregnancy there.
Essay done. Enjoy? 🙂

April 25th, 2011 - 6:54pmYeah, 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

April 25th, 2011 - 6:51pmWhen 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.

April 25th, 2011 - 1:34pmI thought when i was watching it there was a silent in the room… but then i turned away and forgot 😀
GeeDee742
April 25th, 2011 - 1:33pmOH.MY.GOD!!!!!! It was, it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!
But, a little confuzzled at how only Amy could see the Silent on that hill… ? It was a fantabulous start to the series ACTION FIESTA!! 😀
dr daddy cool 67
April 25th, 2011 - 11:27amA 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.

doctorwhoforever
April 25th, 2011 - 10:58amIt 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.
