Hint: it rhymes with Karen Gillan's Whipples.

Her pimples? Gross!

But, hot!


Yeah, I know what you're saying. All the build-up and excitement was in the first-half of the season. After LKH, it became real quiet and insular. I've been reading where the two producers besides Moff, Piers "I'm a corporate douchebag who blew half the budget on the single American episode" Wenger and Beth "I'm involved in an embezzlement investigation at the BBC" Willis....both of whom are being "moved on" from Doctor Who at the end of this season....moved episodes around, and ended up fucking up the rhythm of the season. Herr Moff is not best pleased, but you won't hear that but through the rumor mill because he's so professional about these things. However, I think in retrospect, he will re-assess how wise it was to make this entire season 'The River Song Show'. Alex Kingston was brought in last year because management was worried Smith & Gillan...two unknowns...might not be able to hold the show up by themselves, and brought in a seasoned, known-for-the-Brits actress. Once Smith outshined everyone on screen last year, he should have molded this season to touch on her story in a way that kept him front-and-center. What makes River so special is that she just pops-up every so often. Seeing her every other episode gets, well, repetitive.

Hopefully tonight will surprise and please us, rather than "See? I got out of it. Aren't you surprised?"

Sounds like someone wants her to do a little more than squeeze the Charmin.

I want her to fiddle her diddle.

or diddle her fiddle. I get the two mixed up.

Titties.

Last season, the download of DW's latest ep is already up on warez-bb almost an hour or so after it's been shown. Nowadays it takes much longer.

Meanwhile, Big Bang Theory download links are up to date, and there are about 5-6 threads for it at the top of the lists at any given time. God I hate that show.

This was awesome. One moment kicked me in my childhood stomach. I might have even got a little teary. You know which moment I'm talking about. The phone call. Loved it and it hurt, all at the same time.

I have no real complaints about this. I think Moff tried way too much this season, though. He tried too hard, and some of it is bound to feel unresolved. I hope he learns his lesson for next year

Oh, and I fucking called what "The Question" actually was. Boo-Yah!

The skulls eating the guy had me thinking of Tom's era. It was such a cool throwback gag.

YEAH!! That was downright old-school-dark! Was the rat comment an Indiana Jones-reference?

I was thinking a Talons of Weng-Chiang ref.

I like how Moff played with expectations. The 'that's my name' bit as well as River's own "everybody had a theory" speech. The Brig. stuff was a nice bit. It's where the Doctor realizes even he isn't immortal. A nice nod to an old alum as well.

I do think it was kinda anti-climatic; but the whole "I've gotten too big" comment was an indication of why. I think Moff's pulling further and further away from RTD's over-the-top finales and Earth invasions every other week formula.

I just went back in time and told myself to get excited, because HOLY SHIT that was awesome.

Also, I wonder if the "fall of the eleventh" has something to do with the eleventh incarnation's death, or just another red herring like the silents/silence bit.

I think "the fall of the 11th" comes on the 50th anniversary. I bet Moff and Smith peace-out at exactly that point. It would make sense, given where he's going, what with "the question" touching/exploring the very basis of the show. It would be a good end for Smith's run. But, I'm in no hurry, trust me.

Moff does seem to have an overall plan for this incarnation. It started off with the crack in time, but it's never been fully answered. More questions just keep popping up.

Moff's an expert at planting guns in drawers.

Conspiracy!!

"Game show, is it?"

My new wallpaper:

Downloading it now. Hate to sound like a whiny bitch. But, I've been ready for this for awhile and could only watch it in guaranteed HD quality. Thoughts forthcoming.

I watched it three times now. Still a damn good romp.

That was friggin' brilliant. Should've guessed about the Teselecta. :duh: The only thing I was right about, like many others, was the Moffat has been playing the long game in chipping away at Davies rockstar Doctor.

I think it will make for an interesting series seven as I imagine will be seeing the companions having to do more of the legwork to keep up the Doctor is dead charade.

The phone call teared me up. Great nod to the Brig.

Yes. Not only was it a beautiful nod, but it was the very kick-in-the-stomach the Doctor felt that made him realize that it was time to grow up and face his death. He always said Lethbridge-Stewart was the bravest soldier he ever knew. In the end, it was that very bravery--simply facing mortality with dignity--that reminded him he could do no less. THAT made it all the more profound, and summed up everything about The Brigadier in one scene than couldn't have been covered in an entire season. A very, very respectful send-off.

I wonder if they did anything for Liz Sladen on the Sarah-Jane Adventures? I haven't read up on it...

Great episode!!! My favorite parts of it had to be the reveal with the Teselecta and the question. The episode kind of wrapped up this season nicely while leaving plenty more to come later without it being needed to be wrapped up now. Hard to explain.

Jeez Beardguy, just log in if you're going to sit here for awhile...

Yes, Pro, we understood your homoerotic subtext the first time. No need to be a Pariah about it.

DID YOU SEE THE LUST IN HIS EYES?! DID YOU????

The Seven (so far) era's of Doctor Who:



'The Monster Years'



'The UNIT Years'



'The Golden Era'



'The 80's Era'



'The TV Movie Era'



'The Renaissance T. Davies Era'



'The Dark Fairytale Era'



And even some of those, like Baker or Hartnell/Troughton could technically be split into mini-eras, as well...

Iggy called it.

I also found this gem a few pages prior to that one:

Yeah I saw that, too.

So, I was talking to the wife and came up with the idea that, perhaps, the Silence--though creepy as hell--aren't evil. Are they enemies now? Most definitely. But, all we really know is that they want the Doctor dead because of something in his future. My guess is that they may come from a timeline where the Valeyard is actualized. The question is then whether, foiled plan to kill the Doctor or not, they were able to significantly alter things to where the Doctor doesn't become The Valeyard (which, I think, Timelord Victorious was hurtling toward) or simply delay the inevitability of fate as it were?

I dont know what to say anymore no one responds to me

Good theory!! I hadn't really thought of it that way. But, be sure to take into account The Silence have been on Earth "since the wheel and the fire". So, if they're something of a benevolent force, it remains to be seen as an example.
