He has faith in Rose.

His companions.

The TARDIS.

This may be the ugliest action figure but I had to get it. River Song is one of my favorite characters. Also picked up the junkyard tardis set.



I used to have the console room they had out a couple of years ago but that was just to freaking huge. Maybe I could customize this one to look like the original console room.

So who else thinks Rain/Melody gave the Doc some of the ol extra regenerations?

Ifyaknowwhathemeans...

IN THE ASS!

Glacier agrees!

a meh ep for me. just serves as a way to lead things to Lake Silencio. Didn't like the overuse of bro-mo jokes.

Yeah, it was a soulless revisit to a Happily Ever After no one needed to see again. It lacked all the charm, sincere warmth, and genuine humor of THE LODGER. Instead, it seemed to think Craig scared of a weekend with a baby was worthy of the Doctor's services, and worthy of a forty-five minute plot. Oh, and hey, when The Doc and Craig are together, it looks like they're a gay couple! Did you catch that? Did you see it? I'm sure you missed it, because it can't of been the only joke of the entire episode, stretched to annoyance.

And finally, be assured that in modern Doctor Who, the two easiest enemies to defeat are The Daleks and The Cybusmen. Both can be defeated.........with love...

This was embarrassing. I feel sorry that Smith had to try and make all of that work, when it plainly did not.

So, yeah, a total 2-out-of-10...

Wow. Some dude UNFollowed me on Twitter because I was bitching about them constantly using "Cybusmen". He was damned convinced these are orignal Cybermen and, once again, the BBC just didn't have the budget for it. Meanwhile, if you tried to shove a day-glo Dalek into Tom Baker's Genesis of the Daleks-era and say it was accurate, just didn't have the budget, I'd laugh and mock you just as hard.

Meanwhile, Rex un-Followed me because I was championing to save the life of an innocent man (Troy Davis). But, you know Rex. If it involved compassion for other races, forget about it...

Pro, I love you, but you don't know if that guy was innocent.

Saying you have doubt is one thing, but saying you absolutely know is another.

reax uses twitter?

No, I got tired of you beardguying twitter. It was a tie between your doctor who and socialism spam.

I thought only fags followed on Twitter.

Yeah, Pro is a dirty commie pinko faggot. It doesn't make him a bad person.

And rex was following him. What does that make rex?

Fair enough. Let me re-phrase: There wasn't enough evidence to kill him. Any reasonable amount of doubt means he should have been given a re-trial and DNA tested. That's what I hate. The possibility they executed an innocent black man because they were too afraid to admit their mistake, or was trying to cover up something else. Either way, it's a tragedy in every sense of the word.

That's what Twitter is there for, moron. It's to say things and post quotes and blog about your day. If you don't like that, then what the fuck are you doing on Twitter? I mean, besides chugging Louis CK's cock.

These damn cops today! They prosecuted a man without knowing for sure if he was black or white!

Not a great episode, but I think it was good for a little pick-up from the downers that preceeded it. It wasn't supposed to be serious or even have a real great threat. It was just a little goofy fun to lighten the mood before the big finale.

It didn't lighten the mood for me. And I find it a waste, since I can see that they're trying to set the ep as a way to show the doctor losing his perspective and saying his goodbye. I would have liked that, and I saw a little bit of it at the end when the doctor gave the speech to the little bitches. But on the whole, it fell flat for me. I liked it better when Tenth lost his perspective. we got the Timelord Victorious bit.

I liked his interactions with the baby. What did the baby call himself? Stormagedion Darklord or so something like that

Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. He refers to people as mum, not-mum, and peasants.

What I find interesting in this episode is that this doctor is 200 years older than the doctor from the last episode. What did he do all this time? Marry River Song? Send her to her death? Visit other people? Do something to save himself? etc.

Posting on the internet using his real name Prometheus!

I thought it was an okay episode. I wish they would do something to clear up the Cybus or Mondas Cybermen thing. Anybody have an idea when this episode took place? Was it in the present or a few days before his death? When in time did he drop Amy are Rory off? Will Amy know to kill the Silence on sight this time around? What happened to the 1103 year old Doctor's TARDIS? What the bloody hell is going on?

I thought it occurred one day before his death. Maybe not.

Timeline continuity can drive you a bit nuts in this show. Unless they say otherwise or it's' obvious I just assume whatever story they tell is occurring in our time.



I don't what you're talking about here...

Rewatched the episode. The date on the newspaper was April 19, 2011. So, yeah, has he changed things? Do Amy and Rory now know to kill The Silence on sight? It seems that the Amy and Rory he saw in the mall are the same ones he left after The God Complex. Unless, despite seeing all that she did through plastic Amy, Amy doesn't fully recognize all of it.




In The Impossible Astronaut, we see the 1103 year old Doctor with a car. The TARDIS doesn't enter the picture until they begin traveling to 1969 with the 909 year old Doctor. Where did he park it? Is it holding a paradox that is allowing him to change things like with the Master and his "lie" about it to old Amy? Is it just fading into the background?

I think he is somehow going to save baby Melody and rewrite time. His speech with Stormageddon was just too much for me to accept otherwise.

If he saves baby Melody, he will rewrite his own timeline. He will never have been summoned to The Library as Ten, and thus anything after that should change for him. Unless it creates a paradox of two timelines, thus giving us a Doctor to be killed off...

That is how I'm leaning. I think this entire season has been the Doctor rewriting things. The kicker for me was when he saw Amy and Rory at the mall. She is a big model for a perfume that has "for the girl who is tired of waiting" as a slogan. It leads me to think that it wasn't the same Amy and Rory who met him at Lake Silencio in the Impossible Astronaut but was the Amy are Rory that made no mention of her modelling career when Petrichor was mentioned as a TARDIS password in the Doctor's Wife. Further, though I'm not sure it matters, the front door to their house at the beginning of The Impossible Astronaut is wooden with glass in it while the one at the end of The God Complex is solid blue. So, to me, either there are two sets of Amy and Rorys out there or he has been actively changing their past leading up to the day of his death. Or, simply put, by sending out the envelopes he has altered everything leading up to Lake Silencio but not the event itself which is at a "fixed point." So, when he sends out the envelopes he got from Craig, he is sending them out to an Amy and Rory that are familiar with the situation.

Amazingly, I'm not stoned and this still probably makes little sense. Long and short of it, this season was never meant to be because The Silence and co. have altered the time stream since the recreation of the Big Bang at the end of last season. He is still going to die in this timeline. However, I think his death is going to set up to bring this wrong timeline to a close. Silence is going to fall on everything as it were.

All we know for certain from the Impossible Astronaut is Easter Island and Jim the Fish. And, as we just saw, Stormageddon.

On an aside, saw an interesting theory that all of this goes back to Timelord Victorious fucking shit up on Mars. By breaking that fixed point, he caused the cracks in time that Eleventh was dealing with in series 5 and, of course, everything this season. Would almost work as it does seem that Moffat has been looking to tear down the Timelord Victorious motif with Smith.

Other odd theory and, methinks, wrong is that the Doctor laid the foundation for all of this due to his excessive regeneration from Tenth to Eleventh. Not sure where they tried to go with this one.

The bit about Amy and Rory's house door, I though the doctor bought the house and the car for them?

I think there's only one timeline in there, it's just that the doctor's been traveling alone (or maybe he went ahead and did the stuff with River off cam) for 200 years, just popping in and out of our present time so it looks like it hasn't been that long from our perspective.

and I hope the God Complex was really the end of the Williamses' time as companions. It's not that they overstayed their welcome with me (a bit, though). But I wanted them to have a happy ending, especially since Amelia's story was set up like a fairy tale. I don't want them to get left behind in an alien planet or lost in another timestream or caught dead in a fixed point in T&S.

Yeah, it sounds crazy with the door thing. I'm only basing it on the fact that he saw Amy and Rory in the mall and it seemed like the post-God Complex Amy and Rory. Hence, her career as model for Petrichor (last mentioned in The Doctor's Wife) and his not talking to them. But, as the paper showed, the episode in question takes place from the 19 to 21/22 of April 2011. So, that would lead me to think that he dropped Amy and Rory off after the God Complex prior to the event at Lake Silencio.

If there is one timeline, then I think he has still mucked it up quite a bit hence in the next episode.

Further, I'll proved links to talk about the unreleased preview and such if people want them.

Some of this is, admittedly, meta. But, so has the date for the Doctor's death.

I'm really bad with dates.

The last one I had ended with the girl's nose stuck in the pepper shaker and her head doused with wine. The next day, my filthy rich rival took her out on a date and proposed to her on National TV. I watched it at home with my three friends, the fat one, and the black one, and the one that's all silent except in times when he provides sage advice.
