Doctor Who

[Hexx]

Jesus Christ. You knew it was coming, but this is brutal.

[aaronlivo]

Well that was abit.....erm......

[footle]

Cheerful.

[Made of Ghosts]

I rather liked that. Found the deus ex machina technobabble stuff quite bearable since A) it was partly a trick anyway and B) the character stuff was more important by that stage.

Wasn't sure about Old Amy's acting and the ending was a bit overwrought but it was pretty powerful all the same.

[Ravern]

"Rory's Choice" turns out to be even better than the super Amy's Choice? Oh yes.

[mdn2]

It was good, although it felt a bit rushed. Reminded me a little of DS9's 'The Visitor.' although not as awesome as that, of course.

[Hexx]

Yeah KG isn't the strongest actress, but I thought she did very well in the second half.

[Space Gibbon]

I liked it. In RTD-era Who I feel it would have been obvious from the start that there couldn't be two Amys in the end, that you would never have had the sense that both were 'real'. In this one, it seemed possible that other-Amy could've been let loose on the universe. The Doctor didn't come across very well, though.

[Aardvark]

That was rather good, but I wonder what effect it will have on the relationship between Amy and the Doctor.

[michael]

Jesus. That was hard to watch. An excellent episode, but man.

[The Bag]

That was great.

Anyone know what the location they used for the place where she wrote on the door?

Edit: confidential just said it's the millennium center in Cardiff.

[BitterToad]

That was brilliant! Couldn't get one thing out of my head whilst watching it though...

[Space Gibbon]

I can't see how Amy and Rory can be in the next series. I can't see what other limits their relationship can be stretched to. New assistant time, methinks.

[Hexx]

I thought that for next series...

They've both been confirmed as returning?

[Ravern]

Wasn't sure about Old Amy's acting

You mean, erm, Karen Gillan?

[NecroMorrius]

Nice to see the Doctor pull out his dark side a little. We haven't really seen that since Smith's first series.

[Vorgot]

Loved that, and my wife was crying for the last 15 mins. Great to see the darker side of the Doctor appearing again, after the 'the Doctor lies' stuff we have already had. Just a really well done episode.

[Liamness]

Yeah can we have a seperate torchwood thread. This shit shouldnt infect the Dr who thread!

I don't know, I find the bipolar nature the thread has had the last few months very amusing. Besides Torchwood is done now isn't it.

[Space Gibbon]

Best line from the Doctor:

Rory: Two Amys together...Can that work?

Doctor: I dunno. It's your marriage.

Also the bit about jettisoning the karaoke bar.

[Nick R]

Disneyland Clom.

Probably my favourite episode since The Doctor's Wife: there were some great character moments from Rory in particular (calling out the Doctor on his reckless way of time travelling - "look in a history book once in a while!"), that conclusion was quite heartbreaking even though it was clear Old Amy couldn't stick around for the next episode, there was some lovely minimal production design (and some less lovely stairwells), and that lens was a memorable piece of scifiness.

Only thing which didn't really convince me was the plot device to separate the characters which kicked off the whole episode. You're in an alien space station with cryptically labelled buttons, and someone asks you to press the button - wouldn't you ask "Which one"?

[Yartek]

I don't know, I find the bipolar nature the thread has had the last few months very amusing. Besides Torchwood is done now isn't it.

It'd fucking better be.

If due to some hideous twist of fate Torchwood gets recomissioned, I'm going to visit the houses of everyone involved and punch them in the face, who's with me?

[SeanR]

wait, is this ANOTHER

medical mix up

episode, already?

[Eighthours]

I quite simply thought that episode was brilliant.

[lordcookie]

The best episode of the series for me although the only other episode I've really enjoyed this series was the first.

[SeanR]

I liked it, but yeah, all avoided with a single two-word question...

[CactuarBill]

A wonderful episode and one of the best episodes of television I've seen this year. I love Moffat's Who so much, as much as I watched the Davis era, I never cared for it. I now look forward to every episode. A show about time travel should really play with the format and now the show does that.

[Headache]

I liked it, but yeah, all avoided with a single two-word question...

I really liked that though, I thought it was a very genuine way a couple would get mixed up. They're communicating but just not quite clearly enough. You can hear the arguments in the Tardis after Amy's got her head back together can't you,

"Why didn't you just say 'Push the green button'?"

"Well you didn't ask, why didn't you ask me which button to press?"

[Yozhik]

Wow. I sobbed. And there was some bad-ass slow-mo. She was in damn good shape for someone in her early 60s.

[zxcvbnm]

That was possibly the best episode of Doctor Who I've watched since it's return in 2005. Fantastic stuff - dark, funny, sad and beautifully shot. But PLEASE get someone else in to do the music now - it 's just too overblown. Tone it down a bit.

[SeanR]

Wow. I sobbed. And there was some bad-ass slow-mo. She was in damn good shape for someone in her early 60s.

slow-mo... *sigh*

whenever I see it in a dramatic situation I immediately think

they're not going to make it

So, what WAS the first thing to use it to signify

the beginning of the end?

Anyone?
