Gah I keep forgetting to post this: Let's not forget the heart of the TARDIS / the vortex is inside the TARDIS and if the TARDIS explodes the vortex is exposed. (this isn't a theory just food-for-thought)

Well, it came as a total surprise to me, and in my opinion was a fantastic script. It seems, though, that you can't please everyone. If you didn't like that episode I highly doubt you'll like the next one, as it's a two part story written by the same guy. Also, remember it is a children's show, so even if it's pedestrian in your opinion, it's written for a different audience.Grouchy Imp said:
Well he was referenced in the beginning of the episode... foreshadowing?TimeLord said:Danny Ocean said:Aren't you edgy.Milhous said:
Anyway, I predict that this man shall save the day
Oooooh, that would be goooood!
Details, details....shemming said:May i point out time travel is also breaking the laws of physics?PoliceBox63 said:They're notthey are actual boundaries they're not like "oh don't go over 50mph" they're laws like the laws of phyisics are lawsshemming said:
Stephen Hawking said that time travel to the past wasn't possible. To the future on the other hand...
Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey!
I'm only going to put this one more time, but every time you say wibbly wobbly timey winey ball, I think:TimeLord said:

It's a well known writer's cop out. You can't just claim that something that breaks continuity, established laws of travel, whatever writing fumble you made, is due to a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.
Says who? and anyway the laws of physics as we understand themshemming said:May i point out time travel is also breaking the laws of physics?PoliceBox63 said:They're notthey are actual boundaries they're not like "oh don't go over 50mph" they're laws like the laws of phyisics are lawsshemming said:
Well, to reference another great Sci-Fi entity, you can also look at it in the sense of the WSOGMM, the whole sort of general mish-mash. The impication is that time and space are interwoven and aren't linar but are mearly percived because we don't percive the 'big ball'/ 'mish-mash'.MelasZepheos said:
So, a cop out, possibly, but one with an explination.
That would have been freaking awesome!WrongSprite said:
But damn with The doctor locked in a box with time locks shields etc etc, and Amy presumably dead, how the hell will they get out? And we know that at least the doctor will because Dr Song(sp) survives the Tardis exploding, or something
How about the Cybermen telling Amy "You will be assimilated."? That is one brilliant nerdgasm line paying homage to the Borg. Awesome.TimeLord said:
The episode was a bit of a mind-fuck but, overall, not bad.
I kinda had a feeling at the beginning that the doctor from a parallel universe tried to break into this one,(look at Dr. Who series 2 for more explanation, mainly doomsday)

Matt Smith gets fried in the chair.
Turns into Tom Baker (reverse regenerating....somehow)
Tom Baker breaks those locks, takes a Roman cloak, turns it into a scarf...somehow
Tom Baker then kicks Rory, and tells him to grow a pair...somehow.
Tom Baker then blows up the "Alliance" with his awesome screwdriver that has also reverse regenerated....somehow.
Any questions?

I spent the whole episode thinking the Doctor was in the box.
I was half right.
Absolutely brilliant. I usually dread the last couple of episodes of Doctor Who as, with the exception of the masters return (and even that was a bit wobbly near the end), they are usually a terrible muddled mess. This episode was one of the best of the series however, loved the intro especially.
