So yeah the theme so far is the doctor comprising his virtue and I'm happy that they made the silurians go into space, it felt right.
Oh and the doctor has killed before, when rory died during the 5th doctor a cyberman was on board the tardis and stop him attaching the doctor used a ray gun and blasted it into his chest.
Characters like Ridell could have been in almost any episode, seeing as that's the nature of the out of place/out of time character, although it was particularly fitting for a big game hunter to be on an intergalactic ark. It was nice to see DI Lestrade again though.
Only watched the first season and a half of Matt Smith, back when they were airing. Never really found the pull to go back and finish.
Recently started watching the new series from the beginning. Watching Love & Monsters from season 2 right now, and I can safely say that no episode of anything is better than this one.
[QUOTE=Echidna666;37594921]So many people on Facebook are complaining about the Doctor kissing Rory, it's kind of sad.[/QUOTE]
what the hell, I even forgot about that
though I now remember laughing at rory's expression after :v:

Exactly, people are making such a big deal over it.

[QUOTE=Alex_grist;37594757]I was expecting/hoping the extremely valuable thing on that ship to be the Tardis.. surely that's more valuable than Queen Nefertiti?[/QUOTE]
I had originally suspected The Doctor used the Tesselator to wipe information about himself at the end of Series 6 so he could go "into the shadows" due to being "too big, too noisy", but because there's nothing concrete that says that, maybe Oswin did more than delete references to the Doctor in the Dalek database.

There have been references to that though.
The Doctor 'not existing' when being scanned by the value-machine-thing, for instance

That's what I'm talking about. Without the Doctor, there is no reference to the TARDIS being the most valuable object.
I'm sure it'll be something that Moffat will lead into with this series though.

the episodes feel more and more like love and monsters, I'm surprised the gang didn't start a band.
I've been thinking
in Flesh and Stone, Amy gets an 'image' of Angel Bob in her mind; an image that can pretty much take control of her if it wants. But as the Doctor said, this Angel-image was destroyed when the Angels fell into the crack.
Then in Big Bang the Doctor closes all of the cracks, restoring everything that was removed by the cracks; Rory, Amy's parents
and the Angels.
So I reckon that Amy still has an Angel in her head

Oh I did say a while back that maybe the dimming of the lights in episode 1 was her angelic powers consuming energy.

When did she dim the lights?
[QUOTE=Maloof?;37597684]When did she dim the lights?[/QUOTE]
when she was kidnapped from her modeling shoot, but it could have been from the dalak controlled human.

Latest episode was great, but I was expecting more dinosaurs to be honest.

I believe the reboot of the universe made it as if the Bizanthian never crashed, and therefore Amy never had the Angel in her eye.
I really wanted omega sneaking into the rebooted universe, seemed like the perfect chance, but I'm really doubting moffat would have done that by now.

[QUOTE=Dan2593;37592137]One thought I had though is single-episode adventures always ends so quick. Really gonna miss the two-parters this series. I understand Moffat wants to set himself apart from his predecessor but you can't do that by making a whole series full of cliff hangers and when people complain make one without ANY. The format we had before was fine, why keep shaking it up? Series 5 and everything before it had a perfect format.[/QUOTE]
Are there no double episodes this series? That's going to be interesting like you said the single ones end too quickly.
I hope the entire first half isn't just 'lets pick the Ponds up for an adventure and drop them home again afterwards!'
[QUOTE=Maloof?;37600500]I hope the entire first half isn't just 'lets pick the Ponds up for an adventure and drop them home again afterwards!'[/QUOTE]
I think it's a developing storyline where they get sick of travelling and want to stay home.
I don't care about the plot holes to be honest, I really enjoyed that episode. I thought Rory's dad was great, and it was just a fun old romp with no complexity which made it so much fun. I disliked Asylum of the Daleks so I'm really stoked because I thought I would end up giving this season a miss.
[b]Dinosaurs on a Spaceship[/b] - 5.5 million (overnight)
As usual the drop is a non-issue until final figures are released. Especially considering how great a day it was over here yesterday. Then the X Snore Factor overlap.
Sincerely enjoyed that episode. Felt like a good old fashioned adventure, something sorely missed from a Doctor whose series has involved rebooting the entire universe and accidentally causing and fixing a temporal singularity.
Though Steven Moffat is well dug in, I don't think I'd object if Chris Chibnall took over after a bit more time because his episodes have been steadily improving over time. This one was just great.
OHHH Dinosaurs/Timelord get it 'last of their kind' WELL DONE STEVEN
I'm joking of course, I love the Moff
It was a good old fashioned adventure and so was Asylum of the Daleks, The Girl Who Waited and The Doctors Wife. In my opinion they were an old fashioned adventure done right. This episode was quite messy there was no sense of threat at all. You see how easy those robots went down? They couldn't even hit a still target. Plus their were no consequences. Everything returned to how it was at the start of the episode, it's incidental that Rory's dad now knows about The Doctor and stuff because we never saw him before and will never see him after.
Chibnall is a totally underwhelming writer. He's not [I]bad[/I]. But nothing special at all. How he got to write Pond Life, this and another episode later in the series is honestly beyond me. Why put him and Whitehouse together is one of my new favourite mysteries. While writers like Moffat and Gaiman and new writers are in the second part which clearly the BBC want to do better as it's a companion debut. Why are we repeating writers without two parters anyway?
Why do Chibnall and Gattis get two? Because the episodes always get a lukewarm to negative reaction. Just because they're all good friends? That's stupid. Where's Tom MacRae? Gareth Roberts? Paul Cornell? Matt Jones? These guys wrote some of the best episodes of Who, why bring back an average writer when you got these guys? Hell Terrance Dicks is still alive and writing Doctor Who books and watching the show, he's legions better than Gatiss ever was. Don't get me wrong, Gatiss has proved himself as a great writer, just an awful Doctor Who writer.
I love Moffat as a writer but as a show runner he chooses the worst writers and directors around.
I liked this ep quite a bit; yeah there were no lingering consequences (as far as we can see at the moment) but does there have to be?
I'm more interested in the Doctor's inconsistent morals; he doesn't like to shoot or have is friends shoot lethal guns at enemies regardless of the enemy's intention but he's quite happy to suddenly decide to blow up an old man using somebody else's missiles just so long as he's not the one pressing the 'launch missile' button?
Who should take over from Moffat whenever he leaves then?
