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

[PoliceBox63]

I read it, but a catalyst for the time loop needs to be there, there should at least be a reason for the catalyst in the story somewhere.

It begins in Rory's timestream... eh no look it's called a time LOOP. Like a circle. There is no beginning nor end. /

Just like this discussion

:O we have created a monster

Also, who the fuck wears their bridal veil thing at the reception >8.

Amy's mother at one point, in the same sentence, had a Welsh, Irish and Scottish accent

EDIT: hate the way Gillan needs to add a sound on the end of words "...you are late for my wedding-GAH."
and why does she keep trying to get it on with the Doctor

A: "You may definitely kiss the bride."
D: "From now on I'll leave the kissing to Mr Pond"
R: "That's not how it works..."
D: "Yeeeees it is"

Anyway... Gotta love the Doctor's remark when he wakes up: "No fez... I can buy a fez." In the middle of saving space-time, he's worried about fashion. But surely he has one in his wardrobe. The wardrobe does have outfits from every planet and every era ever.

But that leaves a MASSIVE gaping hole. It causes the entire episode to be a massive plot hole, I understand a time loop, and it's a huge paradox, but I 'd prefer that somehow he got out, and then did something to create the tome loop rather than it jsut going unexplained. Theres no plausable reason for him to be out of the box, because his place in the loop involves him being outside of the box in the first place...and and....oh dear.

That is going as my profile title!

Great! No, brilliant! Bring on series 2!

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

anyway, my own opinion! i loved it, towards the end i was a bit worried they were gonna encounter their elusive TARDIS jacker and give us a huuuuuuge cliffhanger so im glad they didnt

a bit dissapointed in YOU timelord for leaving out these quotes

"something old..... something new...... something borrowed................... and something BLUE!"
"i guess this is goodbye then? definately goodbye, *opens door* GOODBYE!!!"

Sorry, I count every series after a change of doctor to be a new show. The revival was Series 1, and Series 2, (with Tennant) was Series 1 as well. This season was also Series 1. It's just easier for me to remember that way. Although, if you really want to be serious, this is probably series 20!?

 

[Shemming]

I actualy didn't like it *flame sheild* it didn't really seem very end-ey, it felt like it could have been put in the middle of the series as a normal two parter not the final.

But some bits were good, using time travel like that

 

[Tharwen]

I liked it. That bit where he was zipping around time with the thing-whose-name-I-can't-remember was brilliant!

The one major issue I have with Doctor Who now is that they can't do emotional scenes very well, because the audience already knows which parts of the cast are expendable. The doctor isn't, so seeing him about to be erased from time only prompted a 'how is he going to get back'.

Very good conclusion. I missed the first 10 minutes though =(

Here you go

That is, assuming you live in the right place to watch it...

Look this whole season has been a plot hole enthusiast's wet dream. Just roll with it. As I've said before, there clearly aren't any physicists advising the writers. I mean Gallifrey being that close to Earth in The End of Time with no consequences? Roll the fuck with it is my motto... saves on the bp ;/

Touche, yeah okay lets just roll with it, I'll watch the next episode with a big fat spliff so I don't notice them.

Aye suspension of disbelief kicks in for when he's saying "goodbye" to amy in the museum but in her room you're thinking "oh shut up you'll be back in a minute."

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

Same really. I remember that news article here on The Escapist saying Terry Pratchett "attacked" Doctor Who for failing at the "science" part from science-fiction. But at the end he said: but why worry when it's entertaining? I couldn't agree more. Sure it's nonsense, but my gods is it fun.

Also, woohoo, I've been fez'd!

 

[Cpt Corallis]

I'd like to know what River Song has on her records if she can get a Dalek to beg for Mercy...

Ah yes. Thanks.

Brilliant...

I think it was more that she could kill it and the Dalek didn't have enough power left to take her down in time before it restored

"No fez... I can buy a fez."

That is going as my profile title!

Ooops... The No fez bit wasn't meant to be in quotation marks...

snip

Why the quote?

Because you were talking about how Amy's always trying to get into the Doctor's pants...

 

[TimeLord]

"No fez... I can buy a fez."

That is going as my profile title!

Ooops... The No fez bit wasn't meant to be in quotation marks...

I thought it was more of a statement than a question. As in:

I have no fez... I can buy a fez
