South Lanarkshire Jag Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I didn't really like it. I can't quite put my finger on why i didn't like it though. The new companion wasn't originally meant to be cast as "Oswin". Moffat was impressed with her and came up with something on a whim. There are so many wild theories out there that i guess we'll just have to wait until Christmas. The new companion's name is Clara I'm not sure i'll like next week's episode either. Rory's dad is in it!! Along with the Egyptian woman and the hunter guy, Seem's like it's one of those "gather up people with a debt" routines, similar to the AGMGTW The ship they are on is a stolen Silurian ship. Then we have the Pond's exit to look forward to Rory get's "caught" by a weeping angel and sent back to the 1930s. The Dr. can't save him so Amy gets "caught" by the same one and goes back to live with him happily ever after 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The sooner the abomination that is Amy is gone the better - cant act for toffee and a fucking horrible character. Bring back Dodo and Zoe says I. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Wait a minute...I'm confused. The hot Dalek woman is the new assistant? How? I mean, she's not real. She used to be , but she just imagines that she's real now. Three possibilities: 1. Same actor two characters (see also Karen Gillan). 2. She already knew the Doctor but feigned ignorance to avoid a paradox: she met The Doctor for the first time earlier in her time-line but later in his (see also, River Song). 3. Something happens that leads to The Doctor saving her at a later point in his own timeline (but just avoiding crossing his own) or there was in fact a cryptic "de-Dalek" thing going on that nobody spotted was possible because of the way the scenes were crafted (see also implemented ideas like the defective nanogenes in Ecclestone's series or Amy Pond disappearing from space-time then having her whole life-story rewritten with the crack) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Three possibilities: 1. Same actor two characters (see also Karen Gillan). Don't think they'd make it quite as obvious as that. Most people wouldn't have recognised Karen Gillan from her role in the Pompeii episode, given it wasn't a big part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Option 4 - its a repeat of The Massacre but inverted so the companion JLC is an ancestor of the dalek dead JLC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drs Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 No its not, karen gillan was playing two distinctive characters, option 4 is that the characters are related ala The Massacre and lets not even get started on the theory that Steven is actually the other ancestor of Dodo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no distinction to be drawn. Option 1 simply stated that the same actress played two (no mention of "distinctive") characters. That is what happened with Karen Gillan. That's what you've described in option 4. Desist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Emergency Temperal Shift... Daleks do it all the time!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm going to go for her memory was erased for some reason before she became a Dalek (Donna Noble style) Just watching Ecclestone's final The parting of the ways. Amazing the difference in the how between then and now, also I'd ride chavy looking Billie Pipper, looks like she's give a fantastic gobble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 matt smith is off putting, simply because of how fucking ugly he is, and not even in a intresting grizzled ugliness if i want to look at an ugly fucker, i'll look in a mirror. get him off my tv None of the old-school doctors were exactly pretty boys either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shire Voice Of Reason Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Here's a crazy thought (re:new assistant): Maybe the doctor's new assistant is a Dalek? She escapes and helps him (geek wise) from inside the metal Dalek body? A friendly Dalek in the Tardis? Has there been any shots released of the two of them together in the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Cracking episode, that, nicely-paced and a reasonably tight plot. And the best thing about it was the new girl, or at least her sparring with the Doctor. Which bodes well. (Amy has been a pretty good companion over the piece, but I've had enough of the Amy / Rory slushiness and won't be sorry to see the back of it.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Another excellent if apparently "light" episode. Hopefully we'll get some series development soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Another excellent if apparently "light" episode. Hopefully we'll get some series development soon. Not bad. Only significant moment was about how often the ponds were visited by the doctor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thought Matt Smith was on top form last night. Had me laughing near constantly and a good inclusion of David Mitchell and Robert Webb as the robots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Okay slight theory as to why oswin can't remember the doctor. She meets the doctor before she gets turned into a dalek. Something happens which causes her mind to be wiped just before she leaves the doctor (Donna noble-esque way) The doctor drops her off home before sending her away to the company that she begins flying for knowing that changing her timeline will dramatically change the future. Also believe that Amy is turned into a weeping angel (she almost was 2 series ago) and she sends Rory back in time before asking the doctor to end her suffering. Should really put spoilers up for the last bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ah I'm posting from my phone permanently and have yet to figure out how to put spoilers in. Shall keep in mind for next tome 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1888bhoy67 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Better episode last night i thought, much lighter and more 'traditional', hope they stay along a similar note tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
