I LIKE Amy, I just don't think she's right as a companion. And I agree about the legs. And pretty much everything else about her. She's gorgeous.

Definitely agree.

[John22]

So she visits him then? How does that work when they are actually meeting at different points in time? She said as he gets older he knows her less how can that be?

They visit or see each other at different moments in history because they can both travel in time and space, just in different time in their lives. And as he gets older SHE knows him less because as he gets older he's met her more times but she's getting younger so she's met him less. It's like the Curious Case of Benjamin Button just with time/space travel thrown into the mix.

You might want to seek out a 2 parter from 2008.

"Silence In The Library" and "Forest Of The Dead".

Explains it a bit better.

Am I the only one young enough to remember Arthur Darvill, then known as Tom Darvill, presenting CiTV between 2000 and 2001?



I used to love the CiTV jingle. Dun, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, DUN!

I remember him on there all those years back, when I saw him for the first time in The Eleventh Hour I though "I've seen him somewhere before", weren't until someone posted that same clip that I remembered who he was, used to like seeing Danielle on there though for obvious reasons

Must remember to watch this/tape this on Friday, I was up t'North on Saturday & the DVD was disconnected as the room was being decorated so I missed it.

[McGuinness-89]

Blimey!

[yummytummy]

confusing it was tonight

[McGuinness-89]

I understood pretty much everything till THAT last scene. Just wow.

(there's no spoiler code on this forum, so that'll have to do for now)

Yeah, does that mean because that was the first time he kissed her, it will be the last time she will kiss him as she will be going further into his past, before they were together or something?

[dreamer1978]

All i can say is WOW and i am totally confused. Sorry but i think its time they got rid of Rory he gets in the road in my opinion of great Dr and Amy moments as well as adventures.

That's the vibe I got, which surely means she's his wife, which means they probably had a child.

Hence regeneration kid.....Argh my head may have just exploded!

[Yudster]

Well the child being River and The Doctor's makes more sense than the child being Amy and the Doctor's, or, even more unlikely, Amy and Rory's but somehow genetically affected by the gestational time-travel (as hinted at in Amy's conversation with The Doctor which Rory overheard, and the inconclusive pregnancy scan which The Doctor appeared to be running on Amy without her knowledge).

I really like River, and more to the point I really like River and the Doctor as a couple - surely if they were married at some point, and The Doctor as we have seen him so far isn't aware of it, we will see an episode or two at some point where they are actually together? Presumably when we do, the episodes we have just seen with River won't have happened yet, so - Jeesh, its confusing. Daleks were much simpler. I miss Daleks.

Anyway, last night I dreamed that Matt Smith was my maths teacher. It was a really lovely dream, although the only detail I can remember clearly is that I failed my exam.

[DevilsDuck]

Its a time travel fettish isn't it?

[Yudster]

No, and it certainly isn't a maths one either.

[DevilsDuck]

Phone boxes?

[Yudster]

Ew no.

[Johnny 1989]

Fez's are cool

I must watch this one back tonight, haven't actually watched it yet.

[Munki Bhoy]

Right, question because it's been annoying me. Not quite a spoiler if you've seen Matt Smith's first series.

Rory was a robot, right? He did the whole thousands of years looking after the Pandorica when Amy was inside it. But, didn't that timeline get erased by the end of that episode? If so, isn't the Rory we know now a real person again - ie. human, not a robot, didn't have to live through thousands of years, he just got married to Amy and she somehow remembered the Doctor back into existence.

If that's all the case... how come Rory stated in the most recent episode that he remembers the thousands of years despite being human and not a robot? Has there been some sort of timeline leakage when the Doctor came back into being that means human Rory remembers his own life AND the robot's?

[chrysostom]

great question : i'd need to watch the finale again to make sense of it

*goes off to the tardis wikia*

edit :

Ultimately, the Doctor was able to pilot the Pandorica into the heart of the exploding TARDIS, which restored the universe, but in the process rewrote aspects of history. The Doctor, for one, was removed from history. And with him removed from history, the Auton version of Rory was likewise removed from history as the original, human Rory was restored, his death having never occurred.

Despite the fact the Auton Rory never existed, elements of his memory remained within the human Rory. After Amy was successful in restoring the Doctor and the TARDIS through her own memories, Rory likewise remembered having been an Auton, uttering "I was plastic!" at one point. Also, the Doctor himself considered the human Rory to be a continuation of Auton Rory, privately admiring Rory's devotion to Amy over 2,000 years, dubbing him "The Boy Who Waited".

Aside from remembering he was plastic, it remains to be seen whether the human Rory retains any specific memories of the Auton replicant over its near 1,900-year existence.

The real Rory somehow obtained his Roman armour from this incarnation (or he used the armour from the picture seen in a photo in The Pandorica Opens) and used it during his Christmas adventure.

[bmstinton93]

Blimey! I've seen episode 2 and to say I'm confused would be a massive understatement! I'm giving it one more week then giving up again if it doesn't improve

[chrysostom]

by improve, do you mean explain the mysteries which they'll be setting up for the finale?

or do you think the first installment was poor?

[DevilsDuck]

Doctor Who is poor

[Yudster]

Oh what a dopey Duck you are. Plum sauce is your best bet for greatness.

It was poor. Not a patch on the series' with David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston

[John22]

This series has been an improvement on the last for me, since the show returned in 2005 I would rank the series as such:

Series 2 (2006, Tennant)
Series 1 (2005, Ecclestone)
Series 6 (2011, Smith)
Series 4 (2008, Tennant)
Series 5 (2010, Smith)
Series 3 (2007, Tennant)
And the specials in 2009 were really good too, they would come in the top three four.

And Ecclestone has been my favourite Doctor.
