Doctor J
October 1st, 2011 - 10:03pmDW S6 Finale was a really good episode to watch there where some dissapointing bits but still more better than The Big Bang. It did answer most of the questions that we wanted to know but there are others that still need answering. Dorium was funny although he was a head in a box but still alive for him to make an appearance and a new mystery that he said to the doctor The Fields of Trensalor. If that is how it is spelt

October 1st, 2011 - 10:00pmEvening guys…jeez, it shows how much i know when i’m confused by things like “lodger tardis” or how far back these arcs go 🙁 I need a sit down with one of you that knows everything lol
So, questions for now :
1.) Christmas special i know about, will it be within this story or a stand-alone like that terrible titanic one?
2) when, usually, do the series start…what stage is the 2012 series at in production? how do these things move…
If any1 can answer those i will reward you with 100 Internetz 😀
booboo
October 1st, 2011 - 10:03pmThe Christmas special will i’m sure be stand alone and they Havant even stated on the 2012 series and it will be shown towards the end of the year rather than the beginning

October 1st, 2011 - 11:01pmThe only episode made of the 11.3 series is the Christmas Special. The other 13 episodes begin filming in February for Autumn broadcast.

October 1st, 2011 - 9:44pmI ABSOULTEY LOVED IT I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INJOYED IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH IT WILL GO DOWN AS THE BEST SEASIONS 5 AND 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!! u
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:15pmthis episode was quite good, i loved the way the silence broke out, and i loved the way river and the doctor talked on the pyramid, it was quite sad. amy and rory were cool. but how did amy suddenly remembe that she and rroy were married? how did river capture kovarion? How did they create the eyepatches? what did river say to amy? the thing is, steven moffats episodes are complicated, which i like, but with the ending it was not good. i wanted to know what happened to Amy and rory! are they just gonna sit there?? i have to admit t was clever the way he was a tescelecta, BUT IF IT WAS A FIXED POINT IN TIME WHY DID A ROBOT TAKE THE DOCTORS PLACE? TIME SHOULD HAVE DISINTEGRATED!! we have all caught steven moffat out in the last 2 years, i prefer russel t, watch journeys end and then watch this, tell me, what is better?? do tell me if you agree on what i have said, i want to know your opinions!
beep
October 1st, 2011 - 9:46pmUm, a robot didn’t take his place. It was always the tesselecta, always would be, always will be, we just didn’t know that
Nigel M
October 1st, 2011 - 9:49pmDisappointed. If it was the Teselecta that was shot at Lake Silencio, how did it start to regenerate ? Remember the hands started to glow – a robot wouldn’t do that no matter how good a copy it was !
bowtiemadjacob
October 1st, 2011 - 10:03pmbecause it has all the same functions as the doctor
lepter
October 1st, 2011 - 10:42pmyeah, a robot replica programed by the doctor would know what to do to simulate his death. Just what would be the point since as soon as he appeared to the daleks/cybermen/zygons/a million other monsters in the monster allience created at the pandorica extraveganza, surely the news would spread like wildfire….wait a minute…THE DOCTOR ISNT DEAD!!!!
CG
October 2nd, 2011 - 11:22pmLepter, have i missed something???? It was the teselecta at the pandorica?
1
October 1st, 2011 - 9:11pmi now understand why river know’s what the doctor looks like with out any early doctor knowing her, river’s an archeologist studying the doctor so she doesn’t need to know any of the early doctors
lepter
October 1st, 2011 - 9:08pmMY TWO PENCE WORTH
Nice explanataion of the doctors escape from death BUT……..
NO EXPLANATION OF WHO BLEW UP THE TARDIS! (yes im shouting) cause we were told that this would be explained this season. So now we have to wait ANOTHER year maybe to find out who did it, or maybe not.
All those races answered the distress call…NONE helped, (what was the point)
Time doesnt move…yet it seamed to in the story. One word is followed by another…therefore time has passed.
I had mixed feelings about the brigadier mention. (fitting tribute to a legend but but isnt he in a time machine, everyone dies to the doctor eventually. Travel 150 years into the future and everyone will have died from your starting point)
So the doctor is married now….guess someone has to repopulate the new gallifrey..lots of little time lord feet in the tardis then?
To be honest, I got what I expected. Little closure to so many unanswered questions.
1. Who built the lodger time machine and WHY?
2. Were the silent a race of big headed aliens or a religious order..(confusing)
3. Ganger doctor….dead or alive?
4. Didnt the cleric who was with river song know about rivers crime, did he not know the doctor was dead since the byzantium happened after her imprisonment? If the doctor can be found at any point BEFORE his death, it wouldnt really matter if he did die eventually cause you just would have to look for a PRE DEATH doctor like river did, All 11 regenerations of him.
5. When was the epilogue with river and amy? after the doctor left them with a house and a car? when did amy and rory get back with the doctor for them to see his death? so the season was all mixed up. the first episode was actually at the end of the season……WHY THE CONFUSING TIMEY WIMEY CONFUSION.
I have to say this was the WORST new season of new who yet.
Ruined cybermen, confusing arcs, little resolution to those arcs.
silence did fall…on any explanation that would have left us thinking AAAHHH…I GET IT NOW.
DISAPOINTED…..but still love doctor who. You have to take the rough with the smooth
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:17pmganger doctor defo dead! he dissolved! but i agree with what you are saying!
Thetasigma
October 1st, 2011 - 10:23pm@ Lepter – I completely agree with everything you’ve said here ! I came to tonights episode hungry for answers and left it behind STARVING for them !
Way to conveluted plots and arcs and far to many questions left unanswered…time for moffat to move on before our fave show is sent the same way as confidential !
Anthony Harding
October 1st, 2011 - 9:01pmSeems to me River married a machine and not the Doctor!
Kinky 😉
Justininferno
October 1st, 2011 - 8:54pmThe wedding of River Song
WAS THAT IT????
What utter nonsense – complete rubbish. Moffat needs to go NOW, he has ruined the show.
Merlin on the other hand was genius. Lets swap production teams.
DW – 2/10
Merlin – 10/10
James of Gallifrey
October 1st, 2011 - 9:05pmUnfortuantly I agree, I liked him upto tonight, I thought all questions were supposed to be answered and they weren’t, still many questions remain and proably wont get answered till next year (if that), and he is ruining the show by making it confusing, I wouldn’t have minded if all questions asked got answered in the same series like the davies era but there not and it is making my head explode trying to understand it !!!!
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:06pmi watch merlin!
James of Gallifrey
October 1st, 2011 - 9:14pmOh Yes I also watch Merlin and it was a fantastic episode
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:18pmbut the thing is, they showed merlin dead, then in the preview of next week they showed him alive, you have to admit that type of spoiler doesn’t happen in doctor who trailers
doctor stu
October 1st, 2011 - 9:31pmIf amy, rory, The Doctor or a key character dies in doctor who at the end of the episode they usual say to be continued
Anonymous
October 2nd, 2011 - 9:27amOh I understand what you mean about merlin dead but we all knew he wouldn’t die because we have the rest of the series and a series 5 yet to come !!
cyberleader199
October 3rd, 2011 - 5:28pmlook this is a site for doctor who,SJA,torch wood and K-9 ok so talk about merlin somewere else(i also watched it it was a good one)
King of the weevils
October 1st, 2011 - 8:44pmWasn’t the best ep but it was still brilliant. The silence(or silents if you want) were on the roof again though(grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!) Next year according to Moffat will be less arc heavy though meaning some questions could be answered earlier on the series.
The Supreme
October 2nd, 2011 - 9:25amI looked on a website and they said Jack Harkness would be back for a episode
King of the weevils
October 2nd, 2011 - 12:28pmThose are just rumours though. John Barrowman has spoke with Moffat about a possible return for the 50th anniversary in 2013 and matt smith said back in July it could be possible for jack to return.
JuanFran
October 1st, 2011 - 8:44pmIm not so sure the question was Dr Who? (Question Mark) I think its more Dr Who! (Explanation) as if knowing his name is incredible/frightening.
Great ending. Roll on Santa Time
Joel
October 1st, 2011 - 8:38pmGreat episode, but i’ve got a question… WHY DID THE SILENCE MAKE THE TARDIS EXPLODE IN SERIES 5?
Nik
October 1st, 2011 - 8:33pmI know he was gonna be a teselecta ever since I learnt the the teselecta was. As for the question, yea, i was wrong, i thought it was gonna be “Will You Marry Me?”
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:07pmi thought that too!
tom
October 1st, 2011 - 9:15pmi thought he would be the avatar?
doctor stu
October 1st, 2011 - 9:32pmme to didnt even think about the teselecta until i saw it in the middle of the ep disguised as the dude with the eye patch.
Commander Strax
October 2nd, 2011 - 9:10amme too!
Anon
October 1st, 2011 - 8:26pmi found a loophole in last series! if rory got erased from time, how did river appear in the pandorica opens/the big bang? how stupid does steven get?
Nik
October 1st, 2011 - 8:28pmBecause amy brought him back through memory.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:07pmmaybe, they are all in different time streams??
Silence Will Still Fall
October 1st, 2011 - 8:23pmAnother prophesy for the doctor, probably will be his regeneration story (really really hope not). Would be furious though if the doctors name is revealed (unlikely), but thats something we should NEVER know. Liked the teselecta twist but in my view series 2 finale was still better. Although i think the moffatt era is better both finales havent been breathtaking more kinda rushed than anything.That being said Is it christmas yet lol
Thetasigma
October 1st, 2011 - 10:27pmWe already KNOW the Dr’s name and have done since at least the Tom Baker era…its all in the name…hidden in plain sight in this message ! lol !
Silence Will Still Fall
October 1st, 2011 - 10:59pmlol!!! Theta sigma isn`t the doctors name its just another alias the doctor has used over the years like john smith
Thetasigma
October 2nd, 2011 - 5:12pmIf thats the case why does Drax call him that in the Tom Baker era and why does the Doctor not put him right on it !
Silence Will Still Fall
October 2nd, 2011 - 8:57pmIt was a knickname he went by in the timelord accademy as stated in the happiness patrol. But if you remember the doctor reminded drax he was the doctor, then on thats what he called him
DOCTORWHOSBIGGESTFAN
October 1st, 2011 - 8:22pmWOW! That episode was epic! I loved the bit where the silence started to crack the tanks! The Silence are my favourite monster and I would never of expected that the question would be Doctor Who? AND THE DOCTOR AND RIVER SONG GOT MARRIED! She is now River Who!
the TARDIS
October 1st, 2011 - 8:22pmgreat episode, but not the best. I think as a finale, A Good Man Goes To War was way better. I think that the Doctor has no name – it is unpronouncable, and yet River whispered it in his ear. It is also said that it ‘burns in the medusa cascade’, so… maybe…
forever dalek 1323
October 1st, 2011 - 8:17pmi loved the episode but i think the silence will be back for the christmas special as you can hear one of them breathing.
the doctor
October 3rd, 2011 - 4:56pmiagree
cyberleader199
October 3rd, 2011 - 5:06pmyea i told all my friends and the said the silence were a one season thing i said hell no what do you lot think?
TARDIS DUDE
October 1st, 2011 - 8:10pmAll questions answered new ones asked. Brill,fab and great
lepter
October 1st, 2011 - 9:06pmSo who blew up the tardis and why?
who built the lodger tardis and why?
ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED? I think not!
TARDIS DUDE
October 1st, 2011 - 9:50pmThey are series 5 questions. I meant series 6 questions answerd. Well the big ones at least. Sorry if i upset you lepter
TorchwoodGuy05
October 4th, 2011 - 9:01pmWhy were the Silence building the Lodger TARDIS in Day of the Moon?
Niall
October 1st, 2011 - 8:10pmI thought it was a brilliant episode and Amy and Rory is going to come back(most likely)! I would never have guessed the doctor would be in the teselecta and I think the question is going to be asked in the 50th anniversary episode and we might find out the doctor’s name!
TARDIS DUDE
October 1st, 2011 - 8:15pmWE WILL NEVER FIND OUT THE DOCTOR’S NAME! If we do. Doctor who whould’nt be the same anymore.
forever dalek 1323
October 1st, 2011 - 8:22pmwe could or we could find out if doctor who finishes i would love it to keep on going so future generation could see the most fause sci fi show
doctor stu
October 1st, 2011 - 9:35pmI think ‘The Doctor/Doctor’ sounds better than his actual name. If we found what his name was it would not be called Doctor WHO anymore.
Thetasigma
October 1st, 2011 - 10:29pmSee my previous post…we’ve known the Dr’s name since at least the Tom Baker era…
TARDIS DUDE
October 1st, 2011 - 11:14pmNo dude. I’m sure that was a nick name. Theta sigma
Thetasigma
October 2nd, 2011 - 5:14pmNot if what Drax calls the Dr is anything to go by it isnt…?
TARDIS DUDE
October 3rd, 2011 - 4:21pmYeah. Thats what he called the doctor. A nick name
TARDIS
October 1st, 2011 - 8:08pmwow doctor who? great question
TARDIS
October 6th, 2011 - 5:02pmnice name
paul
October 1st, 2011 - 8:08pmWell i never saw that coming! a lot of questions answered and i guess more questions still not dealt with? possibly one of my favourites! 😀
Tardiscreation
October 1st, 2011 - 8:07pmRubbish episode. Worst finale ever.
videogamemad00
October 1st, 2011 - 8:18pmtotally agree there
Thetasigma
October 1st, 2011 - 10:30pmCompletely agree ! Never thought I would hear myself say this but Moffat has to go NOW !
TARDIS DUDE
October 1st, 2011 - 11:22pmWell i don’t agree. That ep was fab. But i do think moffat should go. JUST DON’T GIVE IT TO THE USA!
RATIONAL
October 2nd, 2011 - 8:46amMOFFAT TO GO? – ARE YOU INSANE?
Granted some of the stories have been weak, But some of them have been brilliant. The whole tone of the show has become more exciting and full of twists without relying on the same baddies over and over again.
Russell Davies brought the show back but most of the shows were, weak and overly sentimental – Eccleston and Tennant spent most of their time chewing the scenery in an effort to prove they were quality actors – Garbage!! The only good Davies episode was “Blink” and that was written by Moffat….
TARDIS DUDE
October 2nd, 2011 - 11:17amNo i am not insane. A bit werid but not insane. I don’t feel moffat has put as much heart as daves did. Soz about spellings
Jerry
October 2nd, 2011 - 11:48amHated it. Hated it last year too, when it was called The Big Bang. A lot of effort to go back to the self-indulgence of the McCoy stories; more concerned with wallowing mythology than telling a story. I do hope the brilliant Matt Smith gets a chance to shine in some less encumbered episodes.
Anthony Harding
October 1st, 2011 - 8:06pmWith Madame Kovarian dead in an “Alternate Reality”, does this mean she’s still alive in this one?
She’s one baddie I’d like to see return!
booboo
October 1st, 2011 - 8:07pmgood point
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:09pmi think she had all the cool lines! i liked the way she was so sinister! how did river capture her?
hayden7257
October 1st, 2011 - 8:01pmdoctor who? brill question bit obviouse all the companions asked it like ian barbara rose donna But amy didnt.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
October 1st, 2011 - 9:09pmshe did in the trailer
BOOBOO JR
October 1st, 2011 - 7:59pmI thought all our questions would be answered!!! It better be explained at Christmas! But still, a great episode!
NotADalek
October 1st, 2011 - 7:58pmGlad that episode sorted everything, but really, it should have just aired as a 4-parter with The Impossible Astronaut, Day of the Moon & Let’s Kill Hitler and not been spread over 5+ months.
Thetasigma
October 1st, 2011 - 10:31pmSorted WHAT ???
NotADalek
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.
DRWHO is GREAT
October 1st, 2011 - 7:56pmOh I can’t believe I was right! I told all my friends that the oldest question was DOCTOR WHO?
I told some people online aswell! Great Episode, the Best, loved the ending.
DoctorWho4Eva
October 1st, 2011 - 8:05pmI didn’t really like the ending, I thought the question would be a better one than one we all want to know anyway.
Commander Strax
October 2nd, 2011 - 9:12amI wanted a tribuite to liz sladen in the episode
jimbob
October 1st, 2011 - 7:53pmi know bit of a rubbish ending but apart from that it was great i think the main character should always get the last line of the series but dorium getting it thats rubbish the question doctor who? what people figured that out ages ago!
drwhocbreviews
October 1st, 2011 - 7:52pmAaaaaaaaargh !!!!!!!!!!! hate that there still leaving questions unanswered!!!!
Thetasigma
October 1st, 2011 - 10:33pmCompletely agree ! Series closers should be just that…CLOSERS ! All questions answered and all lose ends tied up, but this didnt get anywhere near that 🙁 VERY poor and time for the Grand Moff to move on before Dr Who goes the same way as Confidential !
cyberleader199
October 3rd, 2011 - 5:12pmthats the whole point of doctor who
yogi bear
October 1st, 2011 - 7:40pma brilliant episode the best
K-9 mark 2
October 15th, 2011 - 12:27pmI DONT LIKE RORY WILLIAMS CAPTIN JACK IS BETTER THEN RORY AND IN A GOOD MAN GOSE TO WAR WHEN RORY WAS BLAMING THE DOCTOR I WISHED JACK WAS THERE SO HE COULD PUNCH RORY IN THE FACE
P.S WEEPING ANGELS AND SILANCE WOULD LOSE AGENST THE DALEKS
cyberleader199
October 16th, 2011 - 9:08amthe daleks would forget the silence when they turn away
