Doctor Who: Episode 13: The Big Bang (Spoilers) + TimeLord 5000!

[LostTimeLady]

Spoiler: My 5000th Post

It has finally happened! After nearly 2 years in the making. I have reached 5000 posts and (if I haven't already got it) my Neo badge.

I have only two things to say to everybody.
[sup]It is technically one thing but to two separate groups of people... [/sup]

First:
To my group, The Escapist TARDIS Crew [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-TARDIS-crew]:

I love you all for allowing me to be myself, my insanity fueled, Doctor Who mad, self.

Thank you

Spoiler: Because I love this picture

Second:
To you: The Escapist.

You all have inadvertently changed me. For the better. Alot better! Every time I feel down or something ruins my day. I know I can just come here at the end of a long work day and forget about everything and have conversations with anyone about pretty much anything.

So to all of you:

Spoiler: I love you

Spoiler: Actual Doctor Who: The Big Bang. Thread topic ;)

Series 5 is over, way too soon for my liking! Matt Smith surpassed all expectations and is an excellent Doctor!

[HEADING=2]The Big Bang[/HEADING]

Epic is one word I would use.
FAN-tasic is another.
Molto Bene is a third!

Time Travel used just the way I like it!

What do you all think?
A Dalek saying "Mercy"? Whodathought?

Who was controlling the TARDIS?

Quotes of the Episode:

"This is where things get complicated"

"Not just your face, but your heart and your soul"

"It's a fez, I wear a fez now
Fez's are cool"

"Big Bang 2"

"Why do you have to be so human?
Because right now I'm not!"

"I only came for the dancing"

[HEADING=1]GERONIMO![/HEADING]

Congrats on the 5000 posts TimeLord!
It's been an honour and a privalidge to be part of your crew!!!!

As for tonight's episode all I can say is....

Spoiler: tut, tut, spoilers

We're on our way your majasty

 

[TimeLord]

It was really good, I'll admit.

But something that's bothering me is this:

How did The Doctor get out of the pandorica to tell Rory to let him out the pandorica?

I just can't get my head around it.

The Doctor started the time loop for the first time when he got out of the Pandorica, thus creating the loop of himself freeing himself in the past.

Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey!

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Wow. Just... wow.

The man who gave us "everybody lives" managed to pull off an story with a negative bodycount!

I... wait... Dr. Who with more people alive at the end than the start? My head hurts...

For those not keeping score:
Deaths: 1, Dalek, debatably doesn't count
Recreations/new lives: 2, Amy's parents.

Bodycount for 2-part episode: -1.

How did The Doctor get out of the pandorica to tell Rory to let him out the pandorica?

Rory let him out and then he went back with the Vortex manipulator to tell Rory to let him out.

Come on, that whole sequence was shown twice to make sure we'd get it. Also wibbly wobbly ball of timey wimey stuff.

Technically the sequence had to start with the Doctor getting out first as Rory needed the sonic to get him out in the first place. But it's a flaw I'm willing to overlook.

*points upwards* He needed himself to get out of the Pandorica first before he could free himself as the sonic was needed for it. It's a minor frak-up, but who cares?

rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver, rory used the sonic to let the dr out of the pandorica, the dr then picked up rivers TVM to leap into the future, where he recieved instructions from rory to do what, in rorys opinion, hed already done, he went back in time to gove rory the screwdriver,

something like that XD

 

[not_the_dm]

Am I the only one wondering why when the two Amys touched our little piece of reality diddn't implode due to the paradox? Aside from that, a fantastic end to what has been, on the whole, a brilliant series.

Yeah, you could also count the Doctor touching the Dead Doctor, but with the Universe collapsing, I think it "may" have offset the Blinovitch Limitation.

I'm willing to overlook that.

As am I

Agreed.

I am fez'ed!!!!!

Don't assume that time is strict progression of cause to effect...

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Great! No, brilliant! Bring on series 2!

errm, i think youll find the next series to be no. 6

I think you'll find it's series 33

And that's not including the 4 episodes counted in the adventure games.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Utterly epic finale, the "something blue" line had my crying! Something tells me waiting for next years will be hard. Especially since NEIL GAIMAN WROTE A FUCKING EPISODE!

 

[Cookiegerard]

I found it to be confusing and disapointing. I guess I'll wait for next year then.

EDIT: Matt Smith is one of the best doctors so far and the shitty writing has destroyed his potential.

I agree with the first part, but to be honest I kind of preferred Tennant.

well, i was closer than 2 (anyway you know what i mean!)

[Cpt Corallis]

Wow. Loved that, especially the fact that we have a continuing story arc for the first time in about twenty years!

Also, did anybody else have a moment of horror when the museum guide said that the Pandorica was hit by incendiary bombs? All I could think of was Rory, made of plastic, and the inccedible heat...

 

[Nerf Ninja]

Matt Smith is the worst doctor ever, even Colin Baker was better than him. I honestly hope he gets killed off in the christmas episode and it turns out he regenerates into Riversong or something.

My opinion of the last episode: Meh, This is supposed to be a finale?

 

[Cpt Corallis]

And that's not including the 4 episodes counted in the adventure games.

Those are canon. Confirmed by the grand Moff himself.

I'm pretty sure that is really low down on my very small list of issues with series 5

yeah that one never gets old, the embarrasing about my post of course is that my typo came up over and over again T~T

 

[ZeoAssassin]

ok i am NOT looking at any of these posts in fear of spoilers, but can some1 link me a website of something that i am assuming i can watch this and catch up on the other Dr Who (sense BBCA is ONLY up to the Vincent van go episode)...really don't want to wait for this shit any more lol?

 

[Loop Stricken]

Surely it's not even an issue.
The Doctor got free because Rory freed him after the Doctor told Rory how to free him after he'd been freed.

 

[Disaster Button]

For a moment I thought he would have died and that would've been it for him, this made his return all that more triumphant for me. I really hope they keep him around as a regular. It would be a nice change to have a long term 3rd TARDIS occupant, even more so if its Rory. I think I love him.
