Paid Members neil's bitch Posted May 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 22, 2011 An interesting episode to say the least, they tend to save some good bits for part two, and i'm really interested in this Pregnant/Not Pregnant scan thing. That as well as the women with the iron eye patch, behind the crazy sliding portal thing. Â Will be interesting to see whats what as we go on, but I'm loving Matt Smith more and more every week.

The Natural Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Early feedback from this episode on Dr Who forums seems to be negative. I enjoyed it much more than the pirate one. And it's nice to see the girl from At Home With the Braithwaites is still alive. Â I wasn't keen on this episode on first watch though I agree that it's not the weakest episode of the series.

RepoMan Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Definitely had 'first episode of a two parter' syndrome. I'm sure it'll work far better as an overall story. Didn't help that it was after a very good episode, but it certainly wasn't 'bad' for me. Just felt like we were waiting for answers I suppose.

mackie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I just felt this weeks episode was poorly written, although i liked the concept of fighting themselves and the questions that brings up i think they came up with that idea and just tried to fit stuff around it. I did not understand what the Solar storms were as they were barely explained while the whole idea of them needing to mine acid seemed like a last minute addition.

Steveo2007 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Even though I was kind of expecting it, the cliffhanger was brilliant. Though it's obviously going to be an emotional second parter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyV.2 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That's been known for some time, BUT having read a breif synopsis of episode 7 it may just be they're not back in the way we expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Snake Plissken Posted May 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 The Good Man Goes To War synopsis also ruins this weeks big surprise cliffhanger ending too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo2007 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Didn't Moffat say a while back that this series wouldn't feature any of the old Dr. Who monsters and would consist entirely of new monsters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Didn't Moffat say a while back that this series wouldn't feature any of the old Dr. Who monsters and would consist entirely of new monsters? SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read It may depend just how he worded it I read that these Cybermen are all new Cybermen they are not the Cybermen from the original show and they are not Cybermen from "Pete's World" so technically you could say they are a new monster/villain  I don't know how true that is though.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) I must admit I didn't see that ending coming  I still wonder if The Doctor we saw killed was a ganger either a 2nd one or Doctor "Smith" as he did say there maybe a way back it may even turn out he had to die to set the other events into motion.  I also loved it when he started quoting past Doctor's catchphrases Edited May 28, 2011 by Smeg_&_The_Heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I wonder how long Amy has been a Ganger it must of been since at least since episode 1 or could they even go back to last year maybe she has never been the real Amy but I can't see them going that far.

GalaxyV.2 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'ld say its from episode 1, remember we didn't see what happened during those '3 months' the Dcotor was imprisoned. Anyway a fantastic ending to that episode. However, her house was ramshackled in episode 11, they used her thoughts to create a trap for The Doctor. Maybe they stole Amy! Â Plus, I don't think the Doctor who was killed was the ganger, it went to regenerate which i'm not sure the gange rcould do. Or possibly it could!! Â Ah I bloody love Doctor Who!
