[QUOTE='Poesidan [GAG];37860405']*Cube Episode: Very boring. Focused more around The Doctor's relationship with Amy & Rory than about the plot. It felt like they just wrote the episode to be about their relationships and then slapped on a back story about an invasion. The villain was interesting, [sp]but kind of startling how they built him up to be a "nightmare told to children on Gallafray" but then just blew him up in less than 2 minutes. [/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]They didn't blow the villain up, just his stuff, since he wasn't actually there. That'll probably come back with more significance later.[/sp]
[quote][sp]Usually I think there would be some theme to this but apparently not. "You can't keep running" would've sufficed, but they didn't emphasize that at all in the end.[/sp][/quote]
[sp]I think the theme was "I don't like endings", but yeah, that could've been executed better.[/sp]
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;37860789](oh and also there's a set of 4 special episodes in between series 4 and 5, make sure you don't miss those)[/QUOTE]
People ALWAYS miss those and come back confused and crying and we just hug them and put them right.
We're good like that.
Okay I have more questions. They'll be dumb, just like apparently everything I post in this thread, so bear with me.
1) I don't recall the Doc and River getting married. Did I miss something?
2) In theory, couldn't the Doctor go back in time and see Amy/Rory anyway? Just go back to a time in-between one of his other visits so he doesn't create a time paradox.
3) This one's a bit out there, so bear with me. The Daleks don't remember who he is, right? AFAIK they've teamed up with other races before when a large threat was posed. Is it possible, theoretically, for them to team up? This is assuming, of course, that the Daleks have a default emotion other than hatred, and that they don't care that he's a Timelord (which I'm sure they'll remember).
4) Angels are dicks. Can they be defeated or just avoided? Why not just break the statue?
1) Series finale of last series. Was rushed. Stupid. And pointless.
2) Yep. Rushed. Stupid. And pointless. Moffat just isn't very good at this "BIG EPISODE" thing really. Better doing smaller ones
3) I doubt it. They have no reason. They're not really teamed up with anything before unless they were manipulating it for some reason. Like opposable thumbs.
4) Because the stone isn't the real form. It's the thing we can't see. When we look at them they turn into stone. In theory indestructible. Atleast that was the idea in Blink. Since then we've had them heal from Radiation and show visible damage that never goes away.

[B]Because they're not REALLY stone[/B][/QUOTE]
It's not everything you post in this thread. Don't get down. It's just you were wrong and that was fine, people are. But we explained it and you assumed we were wrong instead. It's all dealt with now.

Yes, the season 6 finale.
I watched the finale, I just don't remember that happening. It probably wasn't that big of a deal anyway.
Moffat's starting to slip, if even someone as dumb and uninformed as I am can figure out plot holes in like ten seconds.
oh. bummer, i love daleks.
so if they're not really stone, what happens if you break the statue? can it not break?
Angels enter a "quantum lock" aka drama wizardry godmode when you look at them.

I think his idea while writing this episode was [sp]the Doctor doesn't like endings, and now you don't like ours either[/sp]
As far as I know, no one's tried to smash a statue on screen, no matter how much sense that makes.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;37861027]I watched the finale, I just don't remember that happening. It probably wasn't that big of a deal anyway.

holy shit I've been watching the reboot of Doctor Who since I was 10, damn
Because it's hard to smash stone without a hammer or pick axe. To be honest the idea before was we didn't know what they look like but they became statues. Now it's just "look at the moving statues!". Last time we saw them they actually moved as a statue.
I think the reason Weeping Angels stopped being scary is because Moffat genuinely doesn't remember what they do. Like that episode they sent nobody back in time but broke necks. I wonder if he's watched Blink recently. I want a new writer to do a Weeping Angels episode in the future. And nobody say "ooooh no don't milk them". Sci-fi shows have recurring enemies. It's nice the 2005 remake has actually produced one to hold it's own against Daleks and Cybermen. I live in hope we see on old Doctor face off against them next year.

I wish this music still popped up in intense moments. I like I Am The Doctor for grand victory moments. But this was great when everything turned to shit. I hope some music makes a return along with Tennant (Who let's face it will definitely return next year without a shadow of a doubt, the ratings and marketing would fucking shit a brick).
They make tools that are capable of cutting through stone, I want to see someone remove the head of one of the angel statues (while a crowd of people watch at a distance, of course), and after the head is fully removed, [B]then[/B] blink.
Even though I prefer other Doctors. I'm very excited to see Tennant return as he's been such a big part of the show and I can't wait to see the media and fans literally explode. It'll probably be the highest Who ratings in history and shoot the show in the arm with Adrenaline and new viewers.

Ah the marketing photos will be grand too. All Doctors in costume together. Perfect wallpaper.

If Eccleston also returns then best episode of new Doctor Who.

[QUOTE=alien_guy;37861356]How is tennant returning[/QUOTE]
The usual 50th anniversary rumours, and coy Tennant interviews, I expect.

jesus christ
are you even paying attention to what you are watching?
please, go to netflix, and watch every single episode before making baseless assumptions
The Doctor could of randomly taken them foward to do that as well.
Interesting point though. Might just be the other writer not knowing, 2 seasons back.

Makes me wonder....[/QUOTE]
Til Amy and Rory's eyes have 20x optical zoom.
My guess is maybe time's been rewritten, as it usually is.
At the end of the same episode Rory dies and he's no longer standing there. It wasn't a fixed point. The Doctor explains that.
[editline]30th September 2012[/editline]
Also Amy does tell The Doctor this series it's been 10 years since she met him for her. So it all works out.
[QUOTE=ironman17;37861592]My guess is maybe time's been rewritten, as it usually is.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, because if you cheaply cover up plot holes all the time it totally makes sense and completely deflects any criticism.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;37861356]How is tennant returning[/QUOTE]
It's what you do on Big Anniversaries. All the old Doctors come back. When Moffat was asked if he's started planning the 50th he only said "I had lunch with David Tennant the other day".

If all of the doctors are in the same place then he would know what he will look like and should never be surprised when he regenerates.
Also they would all be like: "where the fuck is #12?"
I expect a Tom Baker return would look something like this..

When they regenerate the brain turns to mush and nothing much works. Plus they're usually too busy to worry. The First Doctor often took the piss out of the second and third. When Sarah Jane told the Third Doctor she saw him regenerate he laughed and said "All teeth and curls?".

The stories are always fun. This is when 5 met 10 which a lot of people haven't seen. It's good. One of Moffats best.

"Two minutes to Belgium"
It's amazing. You can see in this video and the one Grizz put up how easily these actors slip back into the roles. Great seeing them in the costumes again too. David Tennant and Matt Smith will be doing this when we're 50.
