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.

Is that good or bad?

Not a bad conclusion to Torchwood although it was obvious what would happen to Rex....

Fair enough. I never think to far ahead when I'm watching a show, only in the downtime between episodes, if that makes any sense.

Same, but they kept teasing, and by the end I'd convinced myself he was dead so that they could just start afresh again with the next series. So it was a pleasant and amusing surprise!

My only problem with recent Torchwood is that it's kind of hard to believe it's taking place in the DW universe, but I'd put that down to the differences between RD and SM.

Yet another brilliant episode tonight. The scene where the Doctor deducts the real reason why they were all in this place and where he reveals himself completely to Amy were particularly strong in my opinion.

I found the thing with the room numbers to be quite a nice touch. The references were quite obvious, but still, I liked it.

The ending left me a bit guttered, though. I still hope that there will be some kind of a better, concluding resolution to this.

Yeah, I'm guessing the Doctor himself was in his room.  Either that or River.

Anyways, did NOT see that ending coming this episode.  Made me the saddest panda, but I figured this would be the last season with Amy/Rory.  But Craig and the Cybermen are showing up next week.  I'm pretty excited. 

But in the Doctor's goodbye speech he should have said "What's the alternative?  Standing over your grave?  Standing over your broken body?  Or Rory's?  Again?"  :P

The Doctor: Drop it! Drop all that. I know who you are.
Dream Lord: Of course you don't.
The Doctor: Of course I do. I've no idea how you can be here, but there's only one person in the Universe that hates me as much as you do.

Bear in mind who the dream lord turned out to be.

James Corden is a pretty big name in the UK, and some of the stuff he's been in (ie. Gavin and Stacy) is hit or miss.

He is *so* not funny.

His "impression" of Ricky Gervais is just an impression of David Brent. A CHARACTER

I think they were more pointing out the fact he cant do a Ricky Gervais impression isn't relevant to his efforts on this show. Point in case: I hated the Catherine Tate but she was awesome on doctor who.

Kotowboy, wtf are you on about? Yeah Corden isn't a very good comedian, but neither are lots of people. He is however an excellent actor, and was great in the part of Craig last series. I'm really looking forward to this ep!

Wasn't the most exciting episode in the series, probably one of the weaker ones overall, but it was still very entertaining and had some really funny stuff in it. And Matt Smith was brilliant, coming across like a really old man again, same as at the start of the first episode.

The last few minutes were fantastic as well, so excited about the finale next week!

This episode wasn't one of my favorites.  The reintroduction of Craig just didn't work very well, first of all.  I really liked The Lodger, and I thought Craig did a perfectly fine job in that episode, but he sort of felt like the kind of guy who should only show up once.  I know this sentiment sounds silly, (it is, I guess) but it makes much more sense in my head.  Also, his character was a bit too ridiculous at times in this one; nothing too offensive but slightly over-the-top.  I liked him much better when he had more of a "normal guy" thing going in The Lodger.

I've also never cared for the Cybermen.  I know, classic villain and all, but the whole confrontation near the end was way too cheesy, and I'd place the blame on them for that.

However, despite all of my criticisms of this episode, they did a great job with the last few minutes.  Lots of excitement towards the finale.  From the little preview, I am mostly wondering how the hell they are going to tie in Daleks, Pterodactyls, (or something similar) Churchill, the Kovarian, Chess, giant pyramids, and whatever else is going on in there.

For this episode it seemed like they came up with the end first, then a throw-away plot to fill in the rest of the 50 minutes. It was decent, not terrible, but that's how it came across to me.
