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.

April 6th, 2013 - 10:25pmThe Silent Silent although this is only the scond episode of this series it is Clara’s 5th episode and there has already been a lot of emotion surrounding her, so I don’t see what the problem is with the so called ‘sobby stories’. Personally, I liked it, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

April 6th, 2013 - 10:20pmwell I’m sorry doctorwho but thats what you get with a show like this, lengthy dialogue. Not only are the actors actions important but also there dialogue. At least it made an understandable story. Just one question to eveyone else reading, in ‘The Wdding of River Song’ the Doctor and River Song got married in an alternate dimension, where the Doctor didn’t die, but are/were they still then when everything went back to normal?

April 6th, 2013 - 10:09pm@some bloke i didnt listen to the diologue becaues i was in an immediate threat of being bored to death.
doctorwho
April 6th, 2013 - 10:07pm@some bloke really? the sun was going to kill us all. im quivering in my boots. also i mean there was no direct threat. it wasnt believble. if the thing in the box (vampire mummy thing) had escaped and tried to kill them then that would have been a threat. the only threat in this was just talked about. Oh and there was also the threat of being bored to death by the long, tedious dialogue.

April 6th, 2013 - 10:03pmi agree
Tardis’nt
April 6th, 2013 - 10:01pmI thought its because she doesn’t have a key to get in, or do they not do that anymore? maybe its too old school 😆
why doesn’t the TARDIS like jack?

April 6th, 2013 - 9:58pmTARDIS has always preferred Emmerdale. Jamie McCrimmon (Frazier Hines) anyone?
Some bloke
April 6th, 2013 - 9:55pmp.s. do you even listen to the dialogue in the episodes?
Some bloke
April 6th, 2013 - 9:55pm@doctorwho there was a threat. The threat was that once the god (the sun) had awoken, it would consume everything in existence unless it was fed something massive, just to keep it in control or put it to rest.

April 6th, 2013 - 9:49pmWell it was quite complicated but you need to make sure that you are concentrating. They will never be 100 % straight forward.

April 6th, 2013 - 9:37pmI totally agree with you 🙂 @) why does everybody think this episode was amazing. maybe there was somthing in the WI-FI 🙂
doctorwho
April 6th, 2013 - 9:34pmthe rings of arkhaten was in my opinion the worst episode ever. the reason i think this is because there was no threat in the entire thing. the episode fetures singing and talking to a sun. honestly, i was like what the hell. it was boring and you can tell moffat and the team are really running out of ideas. some of the episodes with tennant were great but this was just shocking. the first one wasnt that bad but this, it was boring, nothing happened, not one person died or was put in any harm. i normally love doctor who and have watched it since 2005. i hope the other episodes arent as bad as this or i will actually kill the writers, producers, all of them. if theyre like this i will probably stop watching doctor who.

April 6th, 2013 - 9:26pmWell the Clara thing is the series main point tbh . The Clara story seems be good but I don’t understand the hole lets watch Clara as a kid seems to Amy pond to me.
