Doctor Who

[Space Gibbon]

I can't believe they cancelled Doctor Who Confidential. Just how much money do they expect to save cutting a show that was basically just full of clips and interviews with people who they didn't have to draft in specially, who were all there for filming Doctor Who?

She seemed a bit put out when her fake child turned into a puddle of goo a while back. Maybe it just messed up her dress.

My wife was a bit put out when Amy's fake child turned into a puddle of goo. Doesn't matter whose baby it was.

And surely they'll still end up on the DVDs anyway (although probably less in-depth).

Who will be there to tell us that every single episode is the best thing ever, now?

Spoilers for the final episode

Time has frozen and the Doctor knows that only his death can save the universe

All of history is happening at once because time has stopped at 5.02pm on 22 April 2011 – the date of the Doctor’s death

Emperor Winston Churchill has the Doctor locked up in the tower

History has gone haywire with Winston Churchill, Romans and Pterodactyls all existing at the same moment

The Doctor knows that to return things to normal his life must end

The Silence are keen to prevent his future

The Doctor makes his final journey to the shores of Lake Silencio for his death…

…River, in a spacesuit, has been sent by Kovarian to kill him, but can she pull the trigger?

River thinks she can save the Doctor and the universe

The climax of the episode takes place in a giant pyramid and Amy and Rory battle The Silence there

The Doctor meets River, who reveals there is someone she loves and it appears a wedding is on the cards

Can River bring herself to kill the Doctor? And who will she marry?

We discover the truth about the astronaut at the lake

Watch out for a brief glimpse of an old favourite

*Edit* Also

We have Minis suspended by air balloons, pterodactyls attacking school kids, a train emerging Magritte-like from London's Gherkin building and Charles Dickens (Simon Callow) discussing A Christmas Carol with Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams on BBC Breakfast. Add to that Winston Churchill hailed as Caesar in present-day London and the Doctor shambling about like a bearded apostle. And all this in the first few minutes.

"Something's happened to time," spots [Churchill]. It's as if "all of history is happening at once". The time is two minutes past five and the date is 22 April; so it has been for as long as anyone can remember. Can the Lord of Time sort things out, or did he cause the problem in the first place?

[Garwoofoo]

I have to say that sounds utter bollocks. RTD must be so proud.

heh, figured THAT much from the trailer at the end of the last episode...

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I can't help but think they could use someone to tone down a bit of the stuff moffat comes up with. His standalone episodes are great, he writes brilliant dialogue and his ideas for monsters are second to none, but I can't help but feel that his ideas for the big arc, and what he wants to do with it, how it's going to be structured, could have just used a bit more direction and forethought to even out pacing and maybe make it a bit less muddled. I'm sure half the audience have forgotten that the tardis is meant to explode at some point. And of all the stuff they had that would have been a good 2-parter, we got the ganger episode?

[Flub]

I'm sure half the audience have forgotten that the tardis is meant to explode at some point.

Did you mean to post this last year?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

No.

[dismembo]

I'm sure half the audience have forgotten that the tardis is meant to explode at some point.

At least one member of the audience has forgotten that the tardis did explode at some point. It was last year and became 'Big Bang Two'.

Not this time, my hands have died :<<<<

Which has yet to be explained, or caused, etc.

I'd forgotten that this "silence will fall" stuff was wrapped up in that, and they never really gave a reason for it.

[Flub]

Which has yet to be explained, or caused, etc.

And not what you said but your point (When you got around to making it) was fair. It would surprise me if Moffat forgot to tie back to that.

[Alex W.]

Maybe he'll tie it right back to the start of the first series and explain what the echo of "fish fingers and custard" was really all about.

[dismembo]

Which has yet to be explained, or caused, etc.

I'm hoping that some of that will be explained in the next episode. Maybe blowing up the tardis was a way to pardoxically create the silence in the first place, unless they really are supposed to have been everywhere running everything in secret for all time.

[Eighthours]

Finally watched Torchwood ep 9 last night (the wife made me), so only one to go.

WTF, the big bad is a MASSIVE SPACE VAGINA.

[JohnC]

And that's not even the least nonsensical thing about it.

[Harsin]

EDIT: Wrong thread.

[Meh]

Surely the most terrifying thing in the known universe to RTD.

[scottcr]

So - in first ep of this part the poisoned doc comes out of the Tardis in a tux, he's just back from Rory and Amy's wedding???

[Alex W.]

Regarding eyepatches:

The Radio Times cover seems to confirm this, seeing as it's everyone in the cast wearing an eyepatch.

I almost laughed at how one the nose it was.

[Hexx]

10 minutes

[Gregory Wolfe]

Doctor Who?

[Jack]

Lovely tribute to the Brigadier there.

[Hexx]

Rory is fucking awesome.
