September 23rd, 2012 - 1:58pmI agree in particular last nights episode was setting the scene for Amy & Rory to leave but the storyline struggled and the end didn’t particular male muxh sense there were six other ships and why were the boxes doing so many different things etc… Brian is great shame to seen him go would be nice to see him bridge the gap of companions – mr Moffat appears to be going from one extreme to the other at the moment brilliant to average and back again

September 23rd, 2012 - 1:46pmmy favorite bit in the power of 3 was “what does this one do?” “Open the door” music starts playing 😆
That Cube over there
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:46pmBoring you?? Boring you??
That Cube over there
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:44pm“It’s like they’ve taken over every statue in the city.”
“The Angels take Manhattan! Because they can. Because they’ve never had a food source like this one. The city that never sleeps.”
I’m pretty sure this’ll be a great episode! Shame it’s only 45 minutes, though. 🙁

September 23rd, 2012 - 1:43pmhes already comfirmed that he is in series 8
The Supreme Dalek
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:41pmThat Cube over There, yes, Matt Smith is great (my second favourite Doctor, go Tennant!) but he’s boring me now. I hope he leaves at the end of the 50th Anniversary Series (not Series 7 Part 2). I always wanted to see Amy and Rory with Tennant for some reason. 🙂
The Supreme Dalek
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:39pmI like your opinions, That Cube Over There! I’m sure though that The Angels Take Manhattan will be my favourite of the series! So basically, my order from best to worst:
A Town Called Mercy
The Power of Three
Asylum of the Daleks
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
Dalek Strategist
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:37pmAsylum Of The Daleks: I only didn’t like that there was so many bronze Daleks. It was nice seeing Skaro again, Oswin was fantastic, and there were some classic Daleks, so that’s something. The plot was good, and Matt Smith is fantastic, as usual. This is my new favorite episode. 10/10
Dinosaurs On A Spaceship: Was kind of silly, but it was nice to have another dinosaur episode. It had great emotional scenes, and Brian was great in the episode. Solomon was a good villian. 8/10
A Town Called Mercy: This was a beautiful episode, no faults I could see. Kahler-Jex was amazing, and the Gunslinger/Kahler Tek was also a good character. No faults, 10/10
The Power Of Three: Not bad, but a little sloppy after Asylum, Dinosaurs, and Mercy. There was alot of good emotional scenes, and the Brigadier’s daughter was a nice addition. Brian continues to be amazing. However, it was too rushed at the end. 7/10
That Cube over there
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:32pmMatt Smith isn’t leaving next year! And thank god he isn’t…
outnumbered
September 23rd, 2012 - 1:28pmim back with another review. first of all it was boring to me the fact that the boxs did not really do alot when opened. also if the doctor makes another silly little joke another stupid tantrume or another big confusing speech i will die.
and what was the thing with amy and henry the 8th
parts where good but mostly it was rushed. im so glad that amy and rory r leaveing and im glad to say i found out that matt smith will be leaveing next year xmas if only steven moffat was leaveing to
then i would really think that someone was peeking at my xmas list

September 23rd, 2012 - 12:56pmI think you’ll find that was the Birdy song. When to No1 in the UK in the 80’s.

September 23rd, 2012 - 12:35pm@Craig No tears, Adric was hated. Cheers went up in my house when he crashed into the earth. Plus Earth Shock was one of thed best cyberman story ever. Only falt with this story was Beryl Reid… ..Why?? lol
booboo
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:32pmVery good start, loved Kate Stewart, bit rushed in places but a let down on the resolution, There was a very big story going on here but just seemed to easy to resolve.
That Cube over there
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:31pmASYLUM OF THE DALEKS:
“Why do they hate you? They hate you so much! Why?”
Good start to the series. Very shocked to see Jenna-Louise Coleman so early. Despite the fact that the Daleks had finally become creepy again, the lack of Classic Dalek action left me with an empty TDTWATW feeling. And Amy and Rory’s divorce subplot didn’t really do anything. These little niggles aside, it was a great episode with some amazing acting, impressive sets, brilliant direction, great music from Murray Gold and very impressive CGI. 9/10
DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP:
“Piracy and then genocide…”
“Very emotive words, Doctor.”
“Oh, I’m a very emotive man.”
Better than expected. It was childish (“Only my balls.”), it was silly (“We do not have tantrums!”), it was disturbing (“I would break you in with immense pleasure.”), but so what? Apart from that disturbing moment, it was a great episode, but not one of my favourites. 7/10
A TOWN CALLED MERCY:
“Looking at you, Doctor, is like looking into a mirror. Almost. There’s rage there, like me. Guilt, like me. Solitude. Everything but the nerve to do what needs to be done.”
Well… What can I say? A truly phenomenal episode with excellent performances from Matt Smith and Adrian Scarborough. 10/10
THE POWER OF THREE:
“There are soldiers all over my house, and I’m in my pants.”
Decent episode, but the ending was a let down. Mark Williams was brilliant once again, though. The “Brian’s log” scenes were hilarious. 9/10.

September 23rd, 2012 - 12:27pmI have to disagree on all points.

September 23rd, 2012 - 12:26pmWhat do you think of the episode Booboo?
That Cube over there
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:13pmThere’s one other thing: The Doctor. Watch the river scene in The Power of Three. Some of the things the Doctor says are…..interesting.
The Supreme Dalek
September 23rd, 2012 - 12:07pmHere’s my Series 7 review so far:
ASYLUM OF THE DALEKS:
Great start to the series, but not the best opener or best episode of the series yet. It was a surprise to introduce the new companion Oswin. She will be great! This episode was dissapointing though. I barely saw ANY Classic Daleks and they promised we would! Plus I didn’t like how Oswin turned out to be a Dalek. 8/10
DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP:
This episode was….different, but good! For the first time, we get introduced to Rory’s dad, Brian Williams. Plus the Doctor had a gang! The Ponds, Brian, Ridell and Egyptian Queen Nefertiti 😀 Solomon was a great villain, he should come back. And the main part of the story… Dinosaurs… On a Spaceship!!! 8/10
A TOWN CALLED MERCY:
I’m going to be honest with this and say….before Series 7 aired, this episode was the episode I looked the least forward too. But now, it’s the best episode yet! No dissapointments! 🙂 10/10
THE POWER OF THREE:
It. Was. Awesome! I just couldn’t help but love it! Although some questions weren’t answered:
• Why were those alien nurses like that? I’m guessing they were previously human?
•What happened to them and the girl?
• How did that happen to them? Was it the cubes? 9/10
The Supreme Dalek
September 23rd, 2012 - 11:57amThat Cube Over There (possibly now That Angel Over There), I just noticed that! I wonder what the Egg one means… The Christmas one is probably leading up to something in the Christmas Special. 😀

September 23rd, 2012 - 11:41am9/10 missed a mark because of unanswerd questions

September 23rd, 2012 - 11:18amThank goodness Amy/Rory & The Doctor together is coming to an end. Their whole story (including River Song) has not been at the centre of my universe (!) This was almost as embarrassing as ‘Dinosaur’s on a Spaceship’ to watch. The plot and set-up for next week were swamped by terrible ‘comedy’ sequences and I’m sorry, but, the childish tantrums and interpretations of The Doctor character really gets on my nerves. One good thing; The Brigadier’s daughter being in it, was a nice tip of the hat to Nicholas Courtney.
That Cube over there
September 23rd, 2012 - 10:23amThat’s not all.
Asylum – Egggzzzz
Dinosaurs – Dino eggs
Mercy – Jex’s ship looked like an egg
Power of Three – Brian mentions alien eggs
Asylum – “It’s Christmas!”
Dinosaurs – “Dad, I’m 31, I don’t have a Christmas list any more.”
Mercy – Anachronistic electricity, keep out signs, aggressive stares. Has someone been peeking at my Christmas list?”
Power of Three – Scene set at Christmas
I LOVE DOCTOR WHO
September 23rd, 2012 - 10:22am9/10 my favourite episode so far 🙂
I LOVE DOCTOR WHO
September 23rd, 2012 - 10:13amif you look,this series so far there is a flickering light each episode i think its leading up to TATM.
Mr Evil Fez
September 23rd, 2012 - 10:02amI noticed that the alien Nurses looked like Birdo from Super Mario Bros! 😆 😆 😆
