I have 100% percent confidence that the rest of this season will be an absolute mind fuck.
In the best possible way of course.

Yup.

Wait until you get to the second half of the series. That's when it gets really good.

It's good to be back together again, in the flesh...

Clue, maybe?

Very enjoyable episode, although it couldn't live up to the Steven Moffat episodes and The Doctor's Wife imo. The trailer of the next episode, however, is very intriguing.

I don't know. It could just be a remark towards Amy being one of "them" for about half of the episode, but it could be something about the Flesh, although I'm really not sure about that.

And I absolutely loved Rory's "We're dead. Again!?"

Yeah, it was enjoyable but nothing amazing.

Bonham · « **Reply #1160 on:** September 03, 2011, 09:35:24 PM »

I'm sort of getting tired of the whole, "creepy little girl" cliche. I enjoyed the design of the dolls, but the overdone laughs, singing, and the obligatory "Will you play with me?" ruined any scariness there could have been.

On a more positive note, I love it when the Doctor has to talk to normal people. His dialogue was probably my favorite part of both this episode and The Lodger.

When else did they do it recently?

Anyway, terrific episode, lots of fun and really quite creepy in places. Murray Gold's score was fantastic as well!

I think he means that it's a cliche in Sci Fi/ Horror in general, not just Doctor Who.

For you guys who have Doctor Who music, 3:00 of Doomsday = Octavarium.

What. It's only a similar pad sound, but that's where all of the similarities end.

Implode · « **Reply #1165 on:** September 05, 2011, 01:09:47 AM »

Well a similar pad playing the same chord was enough for me. I mean...It's almost literally the same sound.

Nice to see so many Star Trek actors popping up in Torchwood. First Nana Visitor then John DeLancie. Next week It appears to be Alice Krige.

Although - Gwen Cooper is annoying me a bit. The whole "I'm Welsh" thing is getting really tiresome. So What if you are ? Nobody cares except other Welsh people. Like when a Dog sees another dog on tv and goes crazy

ariich · « **Reply #1167 on:** September 06, 2011, 12:02:44 PM »

That's just Russell T. Davies writing the part to get the American audience on board.

Just watched the last episode of Miracle Day...

Outstanding.

I got to see "Night Terrors" two hours before the rest of the U.S. at Dragon*Con. Matt Smith even recorded a little introduction video for us, but after he said "Hello everyone at Dragon*Con!" the fangirl squeal was so loud I couldn't understand anything he said until "enjoy the episode."

It was enjoyable. Nothing amazing, but there wasn't anything horrible. I loved Rory's "I'm dead, AGAIN" rant.

Damn, they weren't joking when they said that The Girl Who Waited was a tearjerker.

Phwoar, that was top-notch stuff! I wasn't sure about Tom McRae as the cybermen double episode in series 2 was pretty good but nothing special, but the whole idea behind this episode was fantastic and the visuals were great as well.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #1174 on:** September 11, 2011, 06:21:40 AM »

Great episode! The one thing I didn't care for was the slow motion cut-em-up action scene around the end; I don't think that kind of action sequence really works for Doctor Who. Everything else about the episode was really well done, though, notably the acting from both Amy and Rory and the wonderful visuals. The next episode looks weird.

adameastment · « **Reply #1175 on:** September 11, 2011, 08:35:38 AM »

Episode 10 of Torchwood is just fantastic. Really great twist at the end

Wait really? Awesome! *\o

Also, wow this was a doozy of an episode. Very very good.

Also, the voice of The Interface? Dolores fucking Umbridge. I knew I recognized it, and now I understand why I immediately distrusted it.

Yeah, that ending is genuinely sad. The ending of The End Of Time is very depressing as well, but it was made sadder than it should be. Also, the episode ends on a lighter note, so...

Implode · « **Reply #1183 on:** September 12, 2011, 08:47:01 AM »

And Doomsday ends on a "What?" note.

tri.ad · « **Reply #1184 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:01:36 AM »

Yeah, but it can't really lift up someone's mood as the last thirty, forty seconds of TEOT can.

Agreed. My post was supposed to be more of a joke, but it was too deadpan. Whoops.

So. Been working through Doctor Who again. Raged at the finale of season 4 and the metacrisis. Creyd and also raged at how Tennant died. Was pissed at the existence of Matt Smith for a little while. Came to accept him. Strugged to understand the existence of River.

And just now. Just. Fucking. Now. I watched A Good Man Goes To War.

I'm calmer now. But there was about 10 minutes of making a kind of muffled scream. Smashing my keyboard. Raged across my room and back. Fucking. Just. Fuck. Fuck Moffat. Fuck everything. Just. Fucking. I don't even know fucking. God dammit. Fuck.

Implode · « **Reply #1189 on:** September 12, 2011, 08:01:16 PM »

Hahaha. I saw the conclusion to that a mile away. I feel that in the finale to this series, there's going to be so many time shenanigans akin to Flesh and Stone revealed. And I'm going to ~~explode~~ implode.

In other Moffat news, my friend introduced my to Sherlock. Great show.
