Re: Doctor Who
It was good, I liked Matt's take on being...well, for those who haven't seen it...such a good actor.
Spinning a poor plot point like taking a little girl and boy onto the TARDIS worked so well, Gaiman did a better job in this one than he did with 'The Doctor's Wife'. It ticked all the boxes and kept within the parameters of Who perfectly. I'll need to watch it again but it could be one of my favourite Eleven episodes.

Re: Doctor Who
I thought it was very, very good, except for the acting of the two children which I thought was disappointingly weak.

Re: Doctor Who
I think we'll see them again. The TARDIS seemed to want to see the little girl again anyway by giving her a new phone.
Spin off show?

There's one thing that bugs me in the trailer for the finale though. There was a tombstone that said "River Song" but River died in a big explosion thingy when the Doctor first meets her in the Library. And then he puts her into a computer, so why the gravestone?
I thought that too. Perhaps sentiment? Alternative Timeline? Really with The Doctor it could be anything.
Is next week the season 7 final?

Re: Doctor Who
^Yes it is.
Another thing I was thinking of is, we hear the Doctor say "I'm going back on my own timeline", so what if he does that and gets River killed for good?

Re: Doctor Who
I know what you mean, she did look like the twins (either, since they are identical). Nice to hear from you Skitty. Miaow!

Re: Doctor Who
OK I have taped the episode finale but I haven't watched it yet. I had a visitor yesterday, and she posed this question---"Could Clara actuallly BE the TARDIS?"
As River Song would say, "Spoilers, sweetie!!"
AAAAAHHHH!!! She is STILL saying that!!! Now we must wait till November 23rd to watch the 50th anniversary movie......
OK now what about them bees? I hate bees. but tell me anyway.

Good bees those!

Re: Doctor Who
Spoiler if you haven't seen it.
"Run you clever boy." Loved that line from the Impossible Girl . She's really wonderful. Also loved the kiss with River and his line afterwards. First tension then romance then tension-breaking-humor. Those writers know how to do it. Big grin on my face. Caught the bee reference, too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: Doctor Who
Matt Smith has quit Doctor Who. He will appear in the 50th anniversary episode and the Christmas special but will not be in the 2014 series.

Re: Doctor Who
No big surprise to me.
I like Dr Who and I love Matt, he's been my fave Doctor.
But he really is worth more than this, such a fine actor.
I thank him for his time and wish him all the best...
Can't wait to see his new projects.
Do we have a book on for 12?
Oh and the last comment is a joke, I don't gamble!

Re: Doctor Who
So gutted. Matt's a brilliant Doctor but he's suffered from bad scripts. I wanted him to stay for at least another year.
.........................................................................
He does love to be dramatic.
Well, thank god you're above all that!

Re: Doctor Who
Oh I think he's had fine scripts.
He has to move on when he thinks it's right for him.
I've loved his other work.
