Yeah we're all a bit confused about the story for this series. But all the characters have carried on from the previous series, so you should definitely catch up on that. What was good about THAT series was that it was kind of a fresh start, and so it explains things so that you don't need to have seen anything prior to be able to follow it.

Also it's amazing, which is the other reason you should watch it.

It absolutely seems to be. As I said before, I just love the general humour in the series, which is reason enough for me to watch at least the previous season.

ariich · « **Reply #492 on:** April 24, 2011, 06:33:07 AM »

Yeah the humour and the sense of fun is definitely a very large part of why I love the show. The other major thing is the scale of it and how clever it can be at times.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #493 on:** April 24, 2011, 07:43:00 AM »

Okay I just watched it. Holy crap these are scary monsters.

Did anyone else get reminded of Watchmen when The Silent killed that woman? Very reminisent of Dr. Manhattan's "death" in that machine he gets trapped in.

Yeah, I'm as confused as you are.

I don't have any other episodes to compare; it was a bit confusing (maybe because of it), especially the idea of [it]. Since I haven't grasped the full concept yet, I think I have to catch up on the earlier seasons. But it's very interesting, and I think that I'll like this.

My first episode was Blink, and I loved the element of time travel. I was afraid that they wouldn't touch on it that often. But the cool time traveling bits come up more than you'd think. It's a great show to get into.

Time travel's becoming more common, too, which is good.

Used to be the case that it was essentially the "plot machine" - the premise of the show, but the time travel wouldn't often be integral to the plot's solution. Lately, the "time travelling genius" aspect is becoming a lot more prominent. Last series or two.

It's a good flavour, and I'm surprised it took so long for them to fling it wholeheartedly into the show's repertoire. It's primarily an adventure show, and they don't do time travel paradoxes week in week out, which is good, but I like the added emphasis.

Weird, I can never remember what Rob's avatar is when I'm not in this thread.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #503 on:** April 24, 2011, 04:00:50 PM »

Huh...that's interesting, Ariich. Can you tell me where'd I get all these tally marks on my skin under the words "RobWebster's avatar sighting?"

jonny108 · « **Reply #504 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:33:06 AM »

Wow what an episode, slightly confusing but very excited to see what this series brings. Anyone else think that little girl might be Amy's daughter? And fook me The Silence monster are pretty scary. Love it

Iarwain · « **Reply #505 on:** April 25, 2011, 03:10:09 PM »

Loved it, great episode! Looking forward to the next one.

But now I can't help but feel a bit annoyed that I'll have to wait a week between episodes (this is my first time watching the series as it airs).

robwebster · « **Reply #508 on:** April 26, 2011, 07:03:12 AM »

Incidentally, I've put seven tally marks on my left wrist, just to creep out anyone I pass by who's watched the episode. Particularly children.

I will not acknowledge these marks, and plan to act surprised if questioned. Will add to them throughout the week.

tri.ad · « **Reply #509 on:** April 26, 2011, 07:17:33 AM »

Damn, rob, that's a nice picture.

XJDenton · « **Reply #510 on:** April 26, 2011, 08:11:46 AM »

I await the plot where some mad scientist decides it would be a good idea to cross one of those things with a weeping angel.

10 TEASERS ALERT!

1. There's a touch of the 2000 film Memento about this episode.

2. "You're building me the perfect ****** and it still won't be enough!"

3. The Tardis swimming pool plays a vital role in a daring escape attempt.

4. Watch out for a terrifically creepy performance from Kerry Shale, who plays the disturbed Dr. Renfrew.

5. At least one of the shocking twists from last week's episode is called into question, but who can The Doctor really trust?

6. If you don't feel sorry for Rory at least once while watching this episode, then you're truly heartless.

7. Speaking of Rory, if you've been wondering whether he remembers his 2000 years as Amy's plastic guardian, then this episode provides a definitive answer.

8. "Night terrors...with a hotline to the White House."

9. The Doctor has a new experience, while River does something for the very last time.

10. The final scene contains an absolutely shocking twist.

ariich · « **Reply #513 on:** April 27, 2011, 03:21:20 PM »

OH MY GOD I MUST SEE THIS EPISODE

jonny108 · « **Reply #514 on:** April 27, 2011, 03:59:59 PM »

It's going to be amazing

ariich · « **Reply #515 on:** April 27, 2011, 04:03:25 PM »

By the way, nice to see you also read Digital Spy.

jonny108 · « **Reply #516 on:** April 27, 2011, 05:25:57 PM »

ariich · « **Reply #517 on:** April 28, 2011, 04:29:51 AM »

Nah I go on loads, great for news of geeky British shows like Doctor Who, Merlin, Misfits, etc. Although I should really cut down because I keep reading spoilers!

No, its Sunday for me. Can't watch it on Saturday because I don't have BBC America on campus, and iTunes gets the episodes the next morning. So yeah. Sunday can't get here fast enough.

Just so you know, The Impossible Astronaut is being repeated on BBC1 RIGHT NOW, (7PM)

Also, how is Amy Preggers? Rory is just living plastic? How on earth does he have sperm?

No he isn't, when she brought back the whole universe it put things back to the way they should have been.
