Doctor Who

[Mr Cochese]

Haha. What the actual fuck is going on there?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Actually he looks a bit like krauser too.

Is it just me, or are they down?

Do you think we've got another situation similar to what we thought was a continuity error with the doctors jacket with this new coat he's wearing - he never had it before and now suddenly he's got it most of the time. Is this a Doctor froma different time, or a different doctor all together?

I think someone earlier suggested this - we don't know how long the Doctor was traveling between AGMGTW and LKH before he went back to Amy.

The new coat comes and goes though - and surely Amy/Rory would notice if the Doctor switches.

IIRC:

LKH - Long Coat

NT - Jacket

TGWW - Long Coat (but only in shirt for most of scenes in TARDIS)

TGC - Jacket

Next two - Long Coat based on promos.

Nothing's been mentioned about his changing jacket in the show has it?

The Zenphoto object you are requesting cannot be found.

*Edit* oooooh.

Stormageddon! We're off to a remarkably strong start today.

[Hexx]

I'm so naming my firstborn "Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All"

[Jack]

I can't be bothered with this at all.

[Hexx]

It's a bit naff - especially as it's the one before the finale. Remember "Pandorica Opens"?

[Alex W.]

I dunno, sometimes it's just nice to spend some time with the Doctor being a Doctor.

[Jack]

I'm watching The Fifth Element on the other side. Everyone looks like they're having so much fun.

[Hexx]

Completely random last 5 minutes thrown into to try and give some lead up to the finale.

[mdn2]

This weeks: Meh. Next weeks looks like it will either be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever.

[Space Gibbon]

I thought that was amazing. It was great to see the Cybermen used as a plot device rather than the central concern of the episode.

And I loved the lead-up to the finale.

And I'm convinced Hexx is right about the eyepatches.

Well I really liked that, as usual the Doctor interacting with babies is just entertaining to watch and now we're all ready to see how things fall apart next week. Anyone else get the feeling this might not all wrap up neatly next week but give us a lead in to the next series?

[Herbalizer]

I think it will end with us thinking the Dr has died.

[Space Gibbon]

I'm remembering that image we got after AGMGTW with the skeleton buried underground with the sonic in its hand. How does that relate to his death at Lake Silencio?

Also DALEKS!

[cassidy]

Stormageddon just made me laugh everytime he said it. Thought smith was fantastic in tonights episode.

No because we have a Christmas episode coming.

Pure speculation about the finale deriving from the iconography of the final scene of this week's:

Interesting iconography in the final scene. The space-suit almost seemed to be evoking a wedding dress, with the colour and the ceremonial way it was brought into the room, with River being forced in. Plus the Silence standing behind her in suits, like ushers. Along with the title of the final episode, perhaps all this suggests that what we thought was a death, was actually a wedding?

And then, in Episode One, we saw the Doctor open the spacesuit helmet, see who was inside, and say 'of course'. This is like pulling off the bridal, erm, veil. And perhaps he says 'of course' not in recognition of who he sees beneath the veil/helmet, but because of a question mouthed at him by the person he sees. Like 'will you marry me?' or something.

Which defeats the Silence's plans and so means they themselves fall!

[mdn2]

Hmm.. That seems so plausible, I'd spoiler it if I were you.

[Captain Novaforce]

Enjoyable one again, liked the bit when he saw Amy and Rory in the shop.

Really looking forward to next weeks one!

[Nick R]

Some funny bits like Stormageddon but jokes like that work better in small doses. A whole episode of that wackiness just became tedious, especially with things like Craig's cringeworthy talk to the lingerie shopper. Slightly too much of Steven Moffat's Gay Agenda^TM, too - if you're going to include a joke about a case of "oh, we're not a couple" mistaken identity, it had better be a good one!

All that was disappointing, as I enjoyed The Lodger.

There were some good scenes though, like the Doctor spotting Amy and Rory, and his talk to the baby after turning the nightlight into a planetarium. I also liked the seamless first teleportation, and the line about the difficulty of booking a glazier on a Sunday.

Petrichor nice touch

[Harsin]

It looks like whoever said that the eyepatch was to stop forgetting seeing Silents was bang on.

[locke_211]

Well my theory above isn't all right, the scene in The Impossible Astronaut wasn't quite how I remembered!

[Space Gibbon]

Yeah, it's River that says 'Of course'. The Doctor says 'It's okay, I know it's you.'

Also - I think we have to assume now that between AGMGTW and LKH, the Doctor was travelling for a long time. Since he got his Stetson (which is cool) and his blue envelopes at the end of this episode.

[BackAgain]

Was the line about humans needing to protect their genetics (or something along those lines) important or just a throw away line? Would time lords need to do something similar if they were about to die?
