Retro Red Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 "Get in the cupboard, Hitler!"Â Rory gets more kick-ass by the week. Â Best line of the episode, maybe the season. Â "Can you ride a motorbike?" Â "I expect so, it's that sort of day" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The missus wanted to watch it, so sat through it again and once you don't have to factor in the bad taste left in the mouth from the wasted opportunity of 'mels', it's actually a very fun episode..

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 28, 2011 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) The missus wanted to watch it, so sat through it again and once you don't have to factor in the bad taste left in the mouth from the wasted opportunity of 'mels', it's actually a very fun episode.. Â Disagree on 'Mels', 10 seconds after she was introduced I was praying for her to be killed off. Thank god they got rid of her quickly (in a much more interesting way). Â Overall I wasn't massively keen on the episode, it was fine, but I found it quite bewildering to be honest - there was a hell of a lot going on!

Mr_Danger Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 With Mels i was worried they were introducing a future companion, an annoying one at that. Rory knocking out nazi's is up there with my favourite Dr Who moments. I like Amy but without the Rory dynamic im not sure i'd like her half as much.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 When Rory first became a companion I was the only person I know who was happy about it. Doctor Who is generally better for me with multiple people in the TARDIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted August 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 Loved the episode, especially the brief confrontation between Hitler and the Doctor. I hope they meet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamTheGreat Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 River in nazi uniform and a Amy Pond robot, has Moffat been going on fan fuction websites for ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 They didn't really further the 'regenerating child' mystery, they threw it away in a rather unsatisfying fashion. There was lots of little bits of amazing, and potential amazing, but the overarching narrative seemed like a square peg in a round hole. The bit with 'Mels' was mental, and rushed and the 'miniaturisation' was a bit naff for my tastes. Despite being aesthetically Moffatt, there was a heavy touch of the RTD's about that episode.  That said, the last 15 minutes were fairly cool and Matt Smith is still just amazing...  I will agree with you that it was rushed, but at the same time I'm glad they didn't leave me hanging with a generic episode. Lets be honest, after a stellar first half, this return episode HAD to deliver something.  Mind you, did they give EVERYTHING away? Although it may appear so at this point in time, we won't REALLY know that until the end of the series and we look back on it as a whole. This may be the part of some brilliant story telling (or it might end up as shit. We shall see). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted August 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, we still don't know how/why the astronaut killed the Doctor, and whether he really is/will be dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmilne Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 As I posted earlier in the thread, I'm currently in the process of reviewing all the Doctor Who stories from the start. Â I've just finished off the Hartnell Era, and having reviewed them all, I've done a ranking of all the stories (and companions) from the the 1st Doctor's time.

Paid Members FLips Posted August 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Don't know how many of you live round the Stockton on Tees area, but Who-Ray are having a big Dr Who day this Saturday I think. They've got a full size Tardis, and the longest-serving guy who played Davros doing an appearance and signings and that. I think they've got Daleks too.

Mr_Danger Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So has Amy just accepted that her daughter has been kidknapped by aliens and will be raised to be a killing machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 So has Amy just accepted that her daughter has been kidknapped by aliens and will be raised to be a killing machine? Â Yeah she just said "If you see her tell her to pop around to see her mum" Â I think Amy and Rory are only gone for a week next week is the companion lite episode (last week was The Doctor lite one) so it's just an excuse to why they aren't there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Curious Orange Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm guessing the new house they were given ends up being the place Amy & Rory were living when got the letter from the Doctor at the start of this series and it ends up being some kind of time loop where half the stuff in the series ends up never happening.
