October 6th, 2011 - 1:30pmI am glad that in the end, the finaly mentioned The Brigadeir’s passing away. It was better to have mentioned it, then to have left it unmentioned. And when I saw the scene that mentioned his death, and seeing the Doctor teary-eyed, it made me feel sad inside. He was a great man, and shall be missed dearly.

October 6th, 2011 - 10:22amThe maority of “monsters” in Doctor who are actualy supposed to be aliens whether terrestial lke the Silurians or Extraterrestial (which includes the Daleks)so why aren’t they called so?
McGann is the Doctor.

October 5th, 2011 - 10:27pmI thought The Wedding of River Song was the best episode. But the tittle doesn’t make sense, because if tieing your hands together with a bow tie and kissing someone is a wedding, what isn’t?

The Moffat Paradox
October 5th, 2011 - 12:27pm“The Series should be moving on, having new threats and new themes, like it has been, and having great new thigns rather than just throw-away kisses to the past.”
I don’t disagree but this is Doctor Who not Kafka or Le Carré and shouldn’t try to be so.
There are plenty of perfectly intelligent people who don’t like the lack of signposting and clearer resolution as to what is happening;paricularly in relation to whether or not the Silence are behind the events in the Pandorica Opens.
How does their vehemence(paricularly that of Madame Kovarian going on about “the eternal war against you Doctor”) toward the Doctor make sense in relation to that? Nonsense.(As far as can seemingly be determined for now.)
When Star Trek Next Generation started they moved it on from the original with “having new threats and new themes” besides the old stagers like the Klingons and Romulans but they didn’t try to mystify their audience (Or too much)as to what was happening or leave them wondering whether or not this is getting made up as it goes along.
It also tries to be a bit too juvenile as well when it should be making Mary Whitehouse want to turn in her grave!The kids should be asking to watch it only if it dosen’t give them nightmares.
McGann is the Doctor.
October 5th, 2011 - 9:51amThe Series should be moving on, having new threats and new themes, like it has been, and having great new thigns rather than just throw-away kisses to the past.
This is a Series that has been going on television, and continuing, BECAUSE it brings new things to it’s mythology, which is how it ultimately succeeds.
More so than just bringing back old monsters, if you want a Sereis that does that, you need only look at the bigfinish audioplays. 😉

October 4th, 2011 - 9:44pmIn the library, River did tell the Doctor his name.
In the week’s episode, he didn’t tell her his name – so that is yet to come. IOW, more River in the future (or is that past?!)

October 4th, 2011 - 9:01pmWhy were the Silence building the Lodger TARDIS in Day of the Moon?
Dalek Supreme
October 4th, 2011 - 8:20pm“The dalek…another throw away monster like the cybermen in a good man goes to war.
So many lose ends and pointless story threads.
Look at RTD stories. Much better overall.”
And the series has such a rich reservoir from the old classic series still waiting to be tapped without floundering story arcs.
I call: The Zygons, the Yetis,the Ice Warriors, Agador from Peladon,the Movellans,The Giant spiders of Metebelis Three,The Time Monster, The Axons, The Vervoids, the Krynoids, the mutants,The Ambassadors of Death, The Fury from the Deep.Oh and the giant maggots.

October 4th, 2011 - 5:42pmtoo many loose ends in the normal reality rather than the alternative, matt smith is great, but needs russell t davies to help moffat to write better stories.
best stories this season were
1 impossible astronaut
2 day of the moon
3 doctors wife
4 let’s kill hitler
5 closing time
6 night terrors
craig owens & donna noble should return to as regular companions & jack in the odd episode just to give the show a bit of character again
the only unpredictable thing in the last episode was a tribute to the brigader, but what about sarah jane the doctors oldest companion.
matt smith is a superb doctor & needs tennent & eccelston style stories to really elevate him as i rate him very highly indeed
oldest question in the universe is DOCTOR WHO?, which is probably the theme of the next series with either river or the tardis giving us the answer or possible a rival timelord (omega) as the symbol has appeared in series 6 several times
let’s hope there are vast improvements

October 4th, 2011 - 11:41amSo if the Doctor did not tell River Song his name, what did she tell him in the Library that caused him to instantly trust her? It can’t be the ultimate quesstion, he did not know it was at that point.
Did he tell her his name at some other time? Does he know the answer to the question?

October 3rd, 2011 - 10:51pmI’m really liking Matt Smith as the Doctor now even though I didn’t think anyone could equal Tennant. But I feel sorry for him under the writership of Moffat because he has not had good enough stories to really shine in the role.
I really am getting bored with these series-spanning, universe-quaking story arcs, can we NOT just have a season of good “Doctor defeats the monsters” stories?
I understand there will be a 2012 season, I do hope we get a new assistant, Karen Gillen is very pretty and a reasonably good actress but with this “childish” Doctor, you need someone with a little maturity – Catherine Tate would have been perfect playing alongside him.
Still, the signs are that maybe the Doctor is going to be working under a lower profile from this point on so maybe that’s the end of huge story arcs.
Oh, and the last episode failed for me completely. Far too contrived, I thought the tesseract robot thing was a pants idea knicked from a 1970s comic like Whizzer & Chips, and hopefully good riddance to River Song who has totally annoyed the hell out of me since she appeared.

October 3rd, 2011 - 7:15pmThe answers are:
To kill the Doctor
It was an early attempt to kill the Doctor and they would have succeeded if Amy hadn’t shot it and Melody escaped which wreck their plans.
That is going to be explained when the questtion is answered.
The TARDIS was a piece of equipment used by the SIlence no explanation is given to it’s purpose but that is what it is a sign of.
Because they are telepathic and can see varoius timelines.
Because the SIlence made it one thinking it was teh Doctor who would be killed.
Time is relative.
He wanted to prove to River that he loved her so that they could actually touch, otherwise she wouldn’t do it.
Because they couldn’t get in and it was only to prove a point so the help wasn’t accpeted.
That’s the point, this isn’t a Dalek story, it is just to explain the plot slightly better and set up the Tesselecta’s apperance.
All the answers are in the programme if you pay attention.

October 3rd, 2011 - 6:02pmok, explaniation time.
there are things that must always happen, and some miner things that don’t make much differecnce.
the things that must always happen are things that make a big deal too history ex: the eruption at pompeii ext..they are “fixed points”
the miner things are things that don’t make a huge difference if they are changed. like the mars thing, if it did not explode, then the thing from this ep would happpen. but it exploded still. the only differece was that some people survived.
now, everyone thought that the doctor died at lake silencio, and on outher planets it would proberbly be history (makeing it a fixed point). if the doctor did not die, then this would happen. now, just because it was a robot does not meen it is not a fixed point.that would be like saying “it wouldn’t matter if R2D2 died in the first movie because he is a robot”. R2 had a big roll to play in the next movies. if R2 did die, a load of things would have happened differently and time would be confusing.
does that help you? hope it didn’t confuse you 🙂

October 3rd, 2011 - 5:43pmmoffet paradox….COMPLETELY AGREE!!
Destroying the universe is real clever. Silence will fall because they made it fall, not the doctor. It is they that are the greatest threat to the universe.
And the lodger tardis. What was that all about?
How did the silent know rory was the man who dies and dies again? He died in the dream lords world, (ie a fictional world) and in the silurian cave, swallowed by the crack that removed all memory of him. How would they know about what happened to him?
Why would the death of a robot be a fixed point?
Why would the doctors death, or preventing the fixed point from happening stop time? It didnt in waters of mars!
Time standing still at 5.02…except it didnt time still passed as one word followed another!!
What was the point of the marriage? They only needed to touch to cancel each other out.
The races said they would help…and NONE DID!
The dalek…another throw away monster like the cybermen in a good man goes to war.
So many lose ends and pointless story threads.
Look at RTD stories. Much better overall.
lepter
October 3rd, 2011 - 5:29pmfixed points?? Wasnt the mars base leaders death on mars in waters of mars a fixed point? She didnt die on mars yet time didnt stop then. She died on earth instead. Why didnt the fixed point just move. Why was the doctors death a fixed point at all? Why is he SSOOO important that Time stops if he doesnt die???
Why would a robots death be a fixed point? That makes even less sense!
