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

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Call me a twat, but I hate that very single problem that the doctor gets into has a very easy and roundabout solution.(Steven Moffat should add more subtlety into his episodes)

 

[warthoggunner]

Great episode, nice conclusion.

Why did they have to destroy the fez?... ;-)

 

[Cheesebob]

I swar Riversong had somthing to do with Torchwood in previous series...

 

[LostTimeLady]

multi-seasonal story arch? GUH!

I dunno, it might be quite interesting. I mean, practically the whole of the 10th Doctor's series' became one massive story arch in the end with people, plots and themes crossing over from one to the other like with the bad wolf, the cult of Skaro, New Earth, the Ood, the Master etc.
Y'never know though, the story arch could be solved in the Christmas speical. Having everything sorted at the end of this episode would have just been too much I think.

 

[The Harkinator]

Seriously that bit where the Doctor goes back to 'Flesh and Stone' and talks to Amy was great. I remember he left his jacket behind and then he was wearing it again. I felt the episode was saying 'Remember this? Yeah you missed that detail, feel stupid now? Yes? Good, lets carry on.'

 

[Blackvegie]

I think it's about time the fez was brought back. Now thanks to the Doctor I can wear my fez with confidence.

 

[liveslowdiefast]

Good, but it's incredably easy to visulise david tennant saying all the lines, smith is very simalar in charicter to the previous doctor.

 

[Cheesebob]

ok let me give this a shot...

Go on, set the geekers to stun. It's always good fun.

first the cyberman body was clearly damaged on some level, which would have made it easier to finish off with a sword, not having a head in it would have also made it structurally weaker, which could have been why the Doctor never thought much about it. the part where it moved without a head isn't that hard to imagine, it probably still had backup power to move, cybermen are suppose to augment normal human strength so the exoskeleton would need some motors to move a little bit, at the least enough to get a new host body.

First, damaged or not, a Cybermen is still made of at least two sheets of metal and some innards inside. Rory's sword goes clean through the chest plate, the back plate and a solid wooden door. That is clearly superhuman. I thought of that, why didn't the Doctor (I'll give Amy that she was drugged at the time, so she has an excuse).

As for the Cyberman having backup power... still doesn't make sense. Cybermen couldn't just "eat" a human body before, they needed surgical proceedings to break apart the body and use the parts. They are not armour, we know this because the Doctor cracked one open on season 2, and they are supposed to need a human brain to function. If they can aim and shoot a gun without a head and assimilate a human without one of those conversion booths, why do the Cybermen bother with those things in the first place?

Hoooooooooold on there skippy!

Totally different Cybermen in Series 4 to the one in this series

 

[Danallighieri]

I found the episode was extremely awesome, no complaints about it from me

 

[PoliceBox63]

Good, but it's incredably easy to visulise david tennant saying all the lines, smith is very simalar in charicter to the previous doctor.

Smith's accent sounds very similar to the one Tennant acted with.

 

[EgoDeusEst]

This season of DW was shit.

Series 4?
Anyway these cybermen had Cybus logos on their chests so they are parallel cybers who stayed behind from series 2 finale. I was annoyed they didn't do our universe's cybers.
"All universes are threatnened." said the cyberleader in Pandorica Opens.

Firstly, massive congratulations.
Secondly, wasn't it "Because right now I'm not" ?
Thirdly, confusing but amazing episode.
Fourthly, who was it that suggested that the Doctor in the forest in the Byzantiun was a different Doctor? Whoever it was (Root maybe?), is a genius!

Twas PoliceBox63 in our group

Yes me and all my friends assume the Dr Who crew f**ked up and when it turned out to be that our minds EXPLODED!

OT: Not the best series finale but pretty good and probably the most fun! I still enjoy the show.

 

[TimeLord]

I just watched it in HD glory.

Amazing.

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

I watched it on BBC HD on Saturday! It was glorious!

 

[Zombie_Fish]

But what I always thought was wierd about this series was how everyone thought it was 'cool' (even the nerds) to say how bad the series was. And yet they still watched it, learnt all of the lore, and picked out the tiniest of things to criticise that a normal watcher doesn't notice.

Where did all this hate come from?

Welcome to the wonderful mind of the Internet Hate Machine. The people who watched Doctor Who just to point out the flaws are just like the people who watch Game Dogs to mock the jokes and insult the animation. And to be fair, a lot of other people are hating on Davies as well for his contributions to the show over four seasons.

Probably didn't help that this series got so much anticipation by everyone (myself included, to be honest) going "ZOMG This guy wrote Blink!!1" When a writer of Moffat's reputation with episodes before this series got made head-writer, you're bound to expect people to start nitpicking for examples of atrocity.

Saying that, I have absolutely loved every episode of this series and I do think of Stephen Moffat as a brilliant writer.

EDIT: Did I forget to mention that fezzes are cool?

 

[Doclector]

I liked it, though I do wish doctor who would rid itself of the care bear endings. How cheesy is being bought back to life with a memory? (though, I loved the "something old, new, borrowed AND blue" thing with the tardis) Still, not as logic-ignoringly cheesy as the time evryone shouted "doctor" and suddenly he bounced back with the power of love *vomits*
