October 26th, 2011 - 5:21pmI guessed that but can you see my point?

October 25th, 2011 - 12:46amThe Teslelecta created a motorbike for the Nazi in let’s kill hitler. Plus having the regeneration energy makes it look more convincing to the companions instead of the doctor just randomly flapping his arms about untill he becomes rupert grint 🙂

October 17th, 2011 - 8:27amYyyeaahhh…I stupidly used “everything” even though it’s very clear multiple things were left unanswered, I was tired, I couldn’t be bothered to state “everything but [insert whatever here]”. Frankly, it’s hugely obvious now there are plot holes dating back to Forest of the Dead.

October 16th, 2011 - 10:59amHope someone can help. I’ve been on holiday and was hoping to watch the the finale on iplayer when I got back this morning, only to find that it isn’t available. Has anyone got a dvd recording of the episode they can send to me?

October 15th, 2011 - 10:40pmWhen the doctor regenerated in The Impossible Astronaut, the doctor regenerated, fair enough. Then in The Wedding Of River Song, the teselecta WAS the doctor. BUT HOW DID THE TESELECTA REGENERATE?
The Moffat Paradox
October 15th, 2011 - 5:11pmYes it’s been said by defenders of Moffat’s writing style why continue to watch it if we dislike it so much?
IT MAY COME TO THAT but that is because we live in hope that combined with better and more affordable effects/CGI we are going to see jaw dropping stories that will blow us away.
The kind of things the makers of the original series might have done if they were making it with todays technology.
Steven Moffat has done good things in the revamped series from 2005 like coming up with the Weeping Angels but when it comes to plotting for the series as a whole I’m not as yet convinced.
Why is it when people claim to be fans of something and then get creative control they often seem to produce a bit of a damp squib compared to what the original makers did?

October 12th, 2011 - 1:49am*Just to clarify. An extra 10-15 minutes may not sound like much, but in episodes like the finale, even an extra 5 minutes can have a huge impact on story and pacing (when in post-production, you’re literlly shaving off seconds here and there to meet the timing requirements).
Mofatt should have gotten permission to make the two ‘season’ finales a bit longer at least. My thoughts anyway.

October 12th, 2011 - 1:43amI also personally agree that the last two seasons have been the most enjoyable/intelligent. The plot holes annoy me though… I think it’s a matter of too much story crammed into too small a space.
Even when the story was ‘chronologically’ following the Doctor (aka, 1 season was 1 year of the Doctor’s life roughly) there were huge gaps in the story, as you only get 13 snippets of the Doctors story per year (although books and audio fleshed that out a lot).
Season 6 basically covered 200 years of the Doctor’s life in a few hours or… a little over-ambitious! (As well as telling the stories of the companions and other major events of course). You just couldn’t close up all the (main) gaps with so much going on.
I’m hoping with Season 7, the pace gets sorted out a bit. The easiest solution would be to make the episodes 1 hour long instead of 45 minutes… but BBC probably wouldn’t approve of that.
The Moffat Paradox
October 11th, 2011 - 5:30pmYes but theres a difference between requiring some thought and not filling plot holes.
If it were possible to work out who,it isn’t the Silence,is behind the Events in the Pandorica Opens to make sense of their anamosity towards the Doctor because they think he is the universe’s greatest threat that would be something.
If this is a puzzle then we are still not being given all the pieces to put it together to the extent that I think we should have been entitled to expect in the run up to series 7.

October 10th, 2011 - 5:43pmThis series was the most intelligent since the series returned and the finale was brilliant.Being an adult who has watched the show since 1963 I like stories that require some thought!

October 10th, 2011 - 1:34am*Provided that Alex Kingston is available for shooting.

October 10th, 2011 - 1:25amI think it’s a given that River will be in season 7. I think she will be around for the rest of 11’s time, or at least while Amy and Rory are still in the show.
How big her part will be however, is hard to say.

October 9th, 2011 - 4:31pmi thought it was a briliant episode that was a lot of fun and had plenty going on in it,it was quite differnt from previous season finsles. Wonde if river will return in season 7 ,i think overall it is a good episode.

October 9th, 2011 - 9:16amThe second half of the series fizzed out a bit for me. I think the fact that we pretty much skipped 200 years of the Doctor’s life had a lot to do with that. Up until now (new series), we’ve been pretty much following the Doctor chronologically from season 1-5 (he was ‘900’ in series 1, 901 in series 2, etc).
Skipping so much left the audience behind a bit, and left a lot of gaps and unanswered questions in the story… which is fine to a point, (you certainly want plenty of mysteries to look forward to), but you need enough ‘closure’ to get that real sense of satisfaction from the finale.
That’s how I felt anyway.

October 9th, 2011 - 9:01amJust had the final episode shown here in Australia. Very, very disappointed with the season finale.
Way too much dialogue.
I love River, but really, no comparison with The Pandorica Opens from last year.
I’m quite sad as I feel the script writing for this season just gone (6) was drifting away from what makes my wonderful Doctor so special. I can’t put my finger on what has happened this year.
I sincerely hope next year we have the Doctor saving the Earth from the brilliantly evil Daleks, Cybermen etc….
King of the weevils
October 8th, 2011 - 6:39pmThat’s the music I was talking about. Only the very end of it features a bit which sounds like “the pandorica” but turns out that was in let’s kill hitler.

Well, this just aired in Australia… a good ‘ending’ but not fantastic. TBH I switched off a bit when we found out for sure that River was in the spacesuit… I was hoping for a twistie ending… like having the ganger Doctor in there or something (speaking of which, I was expecting the gangers to make an appearance in the finale).
And poor River… she saves her man by essentially breaking time… and she gets a dodgy sort-of bowtie wedding on top of a pyramid in an alternative reality. To a robot.
What’s a girl gotta do to get the Doctor’s attention!?
I think more than anything that this episode is setting up for season 7… which I’m looking forward to. (In which case, it works just fine).

October 6th, 2011 - 8:05pmA terrible episode! Personally I would Have Preferred to have seen a proper story with a full plot not a child’s interpretation e.g. So this happened and then this happened and then a big thing turns up out of nowhere. If this is where Steven Moffat’s writing is leading him he should be given his 1 or 2 episodes a year and we should get a head writer who actually knows when he is going to end a plot line!
