Just finished watching the episode.  Definitely one of the best Matt Smith episodes and probably one of the best episodes ever.  There were just so many cool ideas about the TARDIS crammed into one episode, and I thought they were all brilliant.  It definitely lived up to the hype.  Neil Gaiman's writing style seems perfect for Doctor Who and I hope he writes more episodes.

We need to start a betting pool on how he's going to kick it in the next episode.

My bets on lasers, after which he is resurrected and then drowned.

 :lol  That response is worth "killing Rory" in 75% of the episodes so far.

EDIT:

EDIT2: Oh!  I figured out what the cryptic last message from the TARDIS refers to!  "The only water in the forest is the river."  It has to refer to River Song Forests of the Vashta Narada, aka the Library!  I don't know what it'll be used for yet but that has to be what its referring to.

That was my interpretation as well. But whatever it is, I'm reasonably confident that it relates to River.

Also :rollin at that gif!

Also also, I think this episode has one of my favourite Doctor Who lines ever:
"Are all people like this?"
"Like what?"
"So much bigger on the inside."

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Neil Gaiman is apparently awesome at writing one-liners.

:lol That's another great line. Also:

"You just want to be forgiven."
"Don't we all?"

EDIT: Also, only noticed on second viewing that as she fades away near the end, you can hear a very faint "I love you". :'(

Absolutely sublime from start to finish. Easily one of the best episodes of the modern series, and had so many excellent moments, both funny and moving. Just.....awesome.

Somehow, working out the anagram is the most exciting bit. Or it is when you get it right, anyway.

No idea. Just a hidden video on the BBC website.

Have you been watching from S1E1? If not, what've you caught so far?

My friend told me if I plan on just starting now, I'm kinda better off starting with S2E1 to start with Tennent. First I've ever watched of the series. But I must say Tennent is absolutely fantastic.

Favorite aliens? I loved the look of the Cybermen, but they ended up being pretty weak. And the Clockwork Aliens were pretty awesome looking. Same with the Ood. Also the Carrionites, just because they were essentially using science that was basically magic. IT was kinda the shit.

I figure that's prob included in the Silurian one - but you are right, that's two separate deaths.

SO tempted to update my avatar. But that'd kind of be spoiling a cliffhanger, perhaps? Might wait a day.

Ace episode, though. Really, really liked it. But then I love Matt Graham, I love Marshall Lancaser, I think Raquel Cassidy's ace, and did I mention Muse!

Yeah, that bit with SMBH playing in the background was surprising, but interestingly cool.

Very cool episode, interesting to see where it goes in the second part. There was so much tension throughout it, pretty relentless!

Because I'm not cool and caught up like you guys, I just finished the Family of Blood episodes. When he gets the watch and doesn't want to go back. Fucking spectacular. Such a great actor.

And now I'm starting Weeping Angels. Which I've heard a lot about.

I love this show.

Oh oh my god!

Voyage of the Damned aside, you are entering a golden era.

The last six episode of series 3 are glorious. I've got maybe one scene I don't like in the very last episode, but it is brilliant.

And then series 4!

Ohhhh, tell me what you think! And yes, Human Nature / Family of Blood is perfect. Although, the second two-parter of a series always is, in the RTD era.

I don't think you caught series 1, but The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances was the gem of Chris Eccleston's era. Last series, Impossible Planet into The Satan Pit was the moment where Doctor Who truly arrived for me - the moment they set the watermark unnecessarily high - and Human Nature into TFIB, you just watched.

Oh, and just wait till next series...

Yeah Human Nature/Family of Blood is probably my favourite overall story. Not so fussed on the rest of the family, but the son would of made a brilliant reccurring villain.
