I'm only going to put this one more time, but every time you say wibbly wobbly timey winey ball, I think:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWizardDidIt

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.
I can use the term "Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey" because it is a quote. If I made that up on the spot, then I would agree with you
I'm not saying you can't use the term, I'm just saying that the term is becoming the new Doctor Who version of the wizard.

Whatever way you cut it, whenever you have to save anything with the explanation 'don't think too hard about it' we've reached the realm of Austin Powers and MST3K.

I believe it's even called the MST3K Mantra

YES- the best episode of the series (so far). "Look at me, i'm a target!" HAHAHAHA, the smartest one as well. I agree, that was a brilllliant twist at the end, though i figured it out just before :/ It made me sad that all the 'bad guys' are so afraid of the doctor that they.... ugh i don't want to spoil it for anyone

Good lord, what an episode.
But what will happen next?
Is this the end of Doctor Who, as people speculated?

Look at me, I'm a target!

Gaah, it's so awesome. Can't put it in words.

I really enjoyed that, and although i kinda saw what happened with Amy coming as soon as you found out about Rory, I surprised about everything else. Can't wait to see how the universe is saved now, considering it basically... well you know, what happens every finale.

Who thought the mysterious roman who turned out to be Rory was someone else?

I thought it could have been Jack...

The end was a bit like an intervention. "Come on Doctor. You're out of control. Let somebody else save the world for a change."

Also, as soon as those autons grabbed him, you knew the Doc was doomed. Not even Eccleston could escape their kung-fu grip.

I had an inclination that it would be Rory, partly because of the biuld-up, partly 'cos of the romours about him coming back. Except it wasn't Rory, was it. *sigh*. I actually liked Rory, he was good.

Oooo! Excellent Star Wars reference there. You're right though, I mean c'mon that whole speach the Doctor gave was so painfully ironic by the end of the episode, *sigh*.

My dad thought so too, I instantly said Rory followed by yelling "Called it!" as soon as he took off the helmet.

I didn't really know who it was, but I hoped it wasn't Rory. I believe they killed him in a really good way (as in an emotional way), and seeming how much they stressed that he can't return, when it was Rory I just thought "Oh, no.."

But now it all makes sense. It wasn't Rory, and what theyve been saying, that you can't cheat time, still holds true.

Yea, it is a shame that his awesome speech to the ships was basically made redundant
