The Silencios do look kinda camp when doing their zapping thing

The Doctor is always going to get out of it, that's what he does.

Will the whole of the next series be him getting out of it, or just the next episode.

Based on Moffat's form, I can see the whole of the next series building towards one of the doctors friends having to go back to the lake to kill him which will somehow also save him.

the 'oh-noes Moffat will kill the doctor' is reminding me of Batman RIP.

The BatmanDoctor is always going to get out of it, that's what he does. The fun is seeing how he does it.

I feel better now! :)

Moffatt was on Radio 2 talking about how he was plotting out the Christmas special and the next series, so I think we're good!

Of course the rest of the series could be about the Master (called Dr Master, PhDeath) after the Dr buys it

CAST HIM OUT

VegemiteGrrl, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 01:00 (thirteen years ago) link

except Batman doesn't die until after Batman RIP. It's, erm, like the end of Final Crisis and then the alternating issues of Batman & Robin #9-16 and Return Of Bruce Wayne #1-6. Or something.

well, my uncle was a federal agent in the late 60s but he didn't work at the White House

He wouldn't happen to be a contestant on Survivor this season, would he?

actually if they let this mystery stand until the end of the second half-series, it's TOTALLY like the first three stories in B&R just getting on with the new status quo and letting the mystery build!

Got a feeling that the whole Nixon thing was an elaborate excuse for showing the Doctor with his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office.

How does River shoot the Stetson off the Doctor's head from the other side of the road, behind Rory?

Unusatralian (sic), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 09:11 (thirteen years ago) link

With mad skillz?

there was a string on his hat that someone behind the camera pulled.

koogs, Tuesday, 26 April 2011 09:53 (thirteen years ago) link

the bullet was a miniature TARDIS

river used a bullet that curved through space

the doctor knocked it off himself because river missed and he didn't want her to feel bad

the universe is curved, duh

SO GOOD. Thought pantomime Nixon was jokes. The Silence were great. I wasn't sure it was all going to hold together but I try not to care about that kind of thing too much so it all seemed ok to me. Next episode looks a bit silly.

Genuflection X (oppet), Saturday, 30 April 2011 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link

I remained sceptical about the first one but I loved loved loved that.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 April 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link

loved the first half but think it kinda lost it a bit after that as it became clear they weren't really going to reveal anything much of note :/

gainfully trˆᴥˆlled (blueski), Saturday, 30 April 2011 18:07 (thirteen years ago) link

i mean explain not reveal ;)

gainfully trˆᴥˆlled (blueski), Saturday, 30 April 2011 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Reminded me of Ghost Light (this isn't a good thing).

JimD, Saturday, 30 April 2011 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link

(oh and jesus, that pre-credits sequence! Moffat just seems to be addicted to killing main characters then having them turn out fine, and the more he does it the more he destroys any sense of actual danger).

JimD, Saturday, 30 April 2011 21:43 (thirteen years ago) link

But he does it so well!

So, are we automatically meant to think small child = daughter of amy and the doctor?

standing on the shoulders of pissants (ledge), Saturday, 30 April 2011 22:15 (thirteen years ago) link

why not daughter of amy + rory?

Mordy, Saturday, 30 April 2011 22:17 (thirteen years ago) link

Because it had timelord power?

emil.y, Saturday, 30 April 2011 22:17 (thirteen years ago) link

that shit made no sense at all. great stuff, though.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Saturday, 30 April 2011 22:30 (thirteen years ago) link

though we've just been given amy's worry that her and rory's baby might end up having 'a time head' because of her tardisposure?

górecki's zygotic mynci (c sharp major), Saturday, 30 April 2011 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link

OK so there must be weird shit ahoy if babby is conceived in the Tardis, but the pregnancy itself appears to be in a state of flux.

a modest broposal (suzy), Saturday, 30 April 2011 22:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Maybe she gave him some time head.

offee is for losers only, do you not c? (Abbbottt), Saturday, 30 April 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago) link

she's schrodinger's baby

Mordy, Saturday, 30 April 2011 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link

so the reason that ship in The Lodger was abandoned was because the humans rose up and killed The Silence, right?

Gukbe, Sunday, 1 May 2011 02:12 (thirteen years ago) link

I still think the proto-tardis in the lodger was something else, related tech but reconstructed by something other than The Silence. Honestly, I think Omega might be behind it but that's just a pet theory.

no, the Silence are still around, as per last episode at the lake

presumably their numbers have been thinned though

has this been posted? someone going through moments in the last season that the silence might be responsible for: http://westofserenity.tumblr.com/post/4444644536

okay I have no idea wtf happened but that was pretty exciting/scary/cool

still floating the idea that River is somehow Amys daughter. no idea how the fuck to even make it hold water, but it *sounds* cool, lol

although: I have to give a cockpunch to Moff for that sideways Tardis swimming pool bullshit.

VegemiteGrrl, Sunday, 1 May 2011 06:19 (thirteen years ago) link

so sad when River realized this was the last kiss she would ever share with the doctor b/c it was the first he had with her

Mordy, Sunday, 1 May 2011 06:25 (thirteen years ago) link

Alex Kingston is HOT btw

oh yes, Dr. Elizabeth Corday

TARDIS being reconfigurable has been a thing since at least 1980 and shown multiple times in the current series

wicked Nome King, brah (sic), Sunday, 1 May 2011 06:55 (thirteen years ago) link

Dont care, that one was DUMB

VegemiteGrrl, Sunday, 1 May 2011 07:00 (thirteen years ago) link

it was FUN
