What Did You Think of The Rings of Akhaten?
What Did You Think of The Rings of Akhaten?
Having found himself a new companion in the shape of Clara Oswald, the Doctor asks where she wants to go first – and her request for somewhere awesome takes the pair to the rings of the planet Akhaten, inhabited by all manner of amazing creatures.
Clara meets the young queen, who is about to take part in a ceremony called the Festival of Offerings – but what begins as a happy sing-song soon turns very grim. Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman star.
Now that the 2nd episode of series 7b has aired in the UK what did you think?, was it the best episode ever or just average.

The Silent Silent
April 6th, 2013 - 9:02pmWe must be the minority who hated it then. I thught it was two much with the sobby stories to early in the series (from the doctor) and was basically 45mins of dr.who’s section of BBC proms. really disapointed. One of the worst ever episodes of all of dr.who EVER!!
Good aliens but didnt appear enough

April 6th, 2013 - 8:22pmI appear to be in the minority who thought last week was trash and that this week was good! Must be right then….

April 6th, 2013 - 8:06pmYes. I thought the Vampire thing and his servants faded out of the story too quickly
The Cyber Squirrel
April 6th, 2013 - 8:04pmhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p017b9yf They’ve released another trailer for cold war. The ice warrior no longer have whispering voices!
the astronaut of death
April 6th, 2013 - 7:54pmwhat did you think of this episode booboo
QWERTY
April 6th, 2013 - 7:51pmDid anyone think all the aliens walking around was like the market of mythical creatures in Hellboy 2?
EW EWEWEW EWEWE NEWNWNW
April 6th, 2013 - 7:49pmI was disappointed by this episode, sure the scene where Clara aids the Doctor, returning by his side was a high in the episode but the rest seemed too focused on the singing.
the astronaut of death
April 6th, 2013 - 7:47pmhas anyone noticed that since series 7 part 2 started that the trailers have not been as good as they used to.they have been all over the place they need to make them more dramtic

April 6th, 2013 - 7:43pmWith due respect, if your going to continue to complain about Doctor Who, is this really the right site for you? 🙂
itdalek
April 6th, 2013 - 7:41pmI liked the polls on what figures people wanted from each story but as co never listens to what the fans actually want and the fact that I have been put off with the scale change, I not like them I much prefer 5 inch and figures which people want
Professor When
April 6th, 2013 - 7:41pmWell, that was awesome.
the astronaut of death
April 6th, 2013 - 7:40pmI think dalek was a good episode but to me that dose not matter because at the end of that series we got a huge army of daleks but I think dalek was a good episode it had a good story.
but I think everyone will think there is only one ice warrior but a twist at the end we will have an army of ice warriors arrive

April 6th, 2013 - 7:38pmThey may be in the finale, as they are next to “the finale” on the radio times poster!

April 6th, 2013 - 7:38pmone thing i did notice, the logo was the same as last weeks!
wut
April 6th, 2013 - 7:37pmWell, that’s the surprise. That’s why I was dissapointed with the first half of Series 7, I expected the obvious. Now, I keep an open mind and allow the story to open up in front of me, you’ve got to expect surprises. They’re the most important thing to a really good story.

April 6th, 2013 - 7:35pmjust seen the TV trailer for Cold War, and they haven’t ruined the ice warrior’s voice.
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:34pmThe TARDIS probably can sense something fishy about her. I think she’s more sinister than we think

April 6th, 2013 - 7:32pmMaybe it happend in a past of future audio adventure
The 14th Doctor
April 6th, 2013 - 7:31pm^ Yeah Joe, but if Dalek was a flop, the team might have been put off using the Daleks again. But no, because it was so strong it put the Daleks firmly in place for the rest of the series.
The Rings of Saturn (Akhaten)
April 6th, 2013 - 7:31pmA brilliant episode. Matt Smith at the END (MY GOD!!!). 9/10
Cold War looks fantastic.
I think this will be better then Part 1 in my opinion.
the astronaut of death
April 6th, 2013 - 7:29pmto be honest this episode…… WAS ON OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SCENE!
where do I start I really liked the start of this ep with the doctor watching Clara growing up that was very moving . I loved the amount of aliens in this episode that was fantastic
i loved the bits when the doctor communicated with the aliens that was funny the relation ship between the queen of years and Clara was good . also the music was good I think that fitted in with the ep well
but the thing i found most brilliant was matt smtihs speech that was the best acting ive seen him do so far
the only bad thing is i hope the doctor dose not do that thing where he drop the companion back at home and return in 1 month
but other all that was A BRILLIANT EPISODE
p.s why dose the tardis not like Clara?
Joe
April 6th, 2013 - 7:29pmgood, its a bit stupid when they keep changing the texture of the logo to match the episode
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
