The director of the death camp was a complete waste of a character and so much of it simply makes zero sense what so ever.

I loved the bit the other night when he was formulated a plan which involved...

...ordering the meek army guy to take Vera's car to a shopping centre and then putting the camp into lockdown so that nobody could get in or out. Foolproof. Except he put the call in to security immediately after the army guy left the office, presumably preventing him from leaving the compound.

The whole show is just so incredibly amateurish. I mean, was I having some kind of fevered hallucination, or was there a scene where their computer system was displaying "SEARCHING: THE TRUTH"?

Fuck me.

Edit - Found the spoilers on Blogtor Who. It's actually more spoilerific than I thought - mostly cast (including some surprising returns, if the actors play the same roles!)

• The episode is called The Wedding of River Song.

• It stars Mark Gatiss (possibly as a space~viking, see THIS post), Simon Callow (Charles Dickens in The Unquiet Dead), Simon Fisher-Becker (Dorium Maldovar in The Pandorica Opens and A Good Man Goes To War) and Ian McNeice (Winston Churchill in Victory of the Daleks).

• Includes the lines, "I don't want to marry you," and "I don't want to murder you."

• The Doctor goes to his certain death - and it doesn't work out as well as he expected.

• The Pterodactyls featured in the trailer are from this story (this is from TV & Satellite Week).

• According to What's On TV, the episode will feature "a bizarre world full of children" and a "thrilling climax among strange pyramids

I've still not figured out exactly how RTD will pull it off yet, but there's only a few more episodes until the finale when a massive armada of Dalek saucers will probably appear.

I watched tonights episode on Sky+ and fast forwarded through nearly all the shitty 1920s scenes with their corny music (and rubbish brain-parasite aliens) - did I miss anything of any worth? Despite having a decent enough premise, and being the follow up to the excellent Children of Earth, this feels like something that might have been passable in the 80s, but which just doesn't cut the mustard now.

Q's in the next episode! With Major Kira as well! Who knows, maybe Worf will show up? That would be cool. As long as nobody from Voyager or Enterprise turns up I'll be pleased. But knowing RTD, those are probably his favourite Star Treks.

John DeLancie makes everything better.

It felt a little too neat and could possibly have done with a little bit more running time, but it was amazing anyway.

Quite a few answers in there as well!

Oh and the question is blatently

Doctor Who?

Didn't notice that, but totally makes sense.

And what better time to find out than

The Wedding of River Song

?

When he was in the black suit and crawling up the little steps, calling out to River Song and pointing his hand at the Tardis...did anyone else get the impression he wasn't actually talking to the one stood behind him? We have already had the story that the Tardis can be a person so maybe...

That was quite a masterfully misleading title. Only Doctor Who could get away with sticking Hitler in an episode title only to shove him into a cupboard after ten minutes. :lol:

So! Now I guess we know for sure who was in the space suit, and rather curiously that the Doctor's death is a fixed point. How is Moffat going to get himself out of that one? :unsure: That was fantastic anyway. I'm surprised the Doctor didn't drop a Numbskulls reference with the whole little people controlling a human body thing.

EDIT: Oh, and how ace were the antibodies? "Please remain calm while your life is extracted." :)

"As first dates go, this one had... mixed signals."

That was amazing.

The delivery of that line was perfect too. Matt Smith is an infinitely better Doctor than Talentless Tenant ever was.

Have to admit, thought the episode was a bit CBBC-ish and crap at first, then that plot twist happened, then it really kicked up a gear or five. I was literally :o for the remainder.
