Doctor Who Series 6.2 'Day of the Moon' SPOILERS

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

1 thing

He should keep the beard

This.

OT: The woman in the asylum was bloody confusing. I think the girl is amy and rory's...waitaminute. Amy and rory were seen as being happily married in the episode with the silurians in the near future. The photo with amy and the baby is in colour and looks like it was taken by a modern day camera. If it was amy and rory's and concieved in the present how the hell did the girl get into the '60s???

Also, is steven moffat going to do something about the whole being dead in the future thing?

 

[TimeLord]

I'm pretty sure Rory became non-plastic when the Doctor threw himself into the exploding TARDIS in 'The Big Bang'.
Otherwise he would have used his gun hand against the Silence and/or the FBI and/or the Spaceman when it kills 1103

He stills remember being a Roman Centurion at times...when he lets that little door open in his mind...

But then, Amy isn't really human either...

Yea, but memories are different to being plastic.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

My first thoughts on this episode, beyond the obvious "OMG WTF SHE'S REGENERATING???", were "poor River". While they're not exactly back-to-front, she realizes that her love will never know her enough to trust her for the remainder of her life. For her, it's all downhill. For him, though, he gets to learn of all kinds of things. Though, for her, he does still have one last date to take her on, before she goes to the Library.

The child is Amy and Rory's... somehow during his ressurection Amy's memories of him and the Doctor got mixed up so he was reborn as a Time Lord and noone knows yet.

Amy Pond, the girl with a crack between two parts of time and space in her wall, who remembered the Universe, gets something wrong...sounds like an alternate timeline of all events was created. But, in saying that, I realize that when 'Big Bang 2' happened, an alternate universer was created. It could be something simple though. Everything else is the same, but that Amy/Rory has a dash of Timelord DNA. Or not. Rory still remembers being plastic, so clearly that's gonna come into effect.

 

[Encurtidos]

Thats true, because the Doctor did ask Rory if he remembered being plastic. So it might have been a little bit of foreshadowing for next episodes to come...

 

[Sonic Doctor]

It was retconned, in the Sarah Jane Adventures (spin off show) of all places where he made a cameo appearance. Basically he now has unlimited regenerations.

Oh what the actual fuck!? Who retcons important info like that in the young kid's show? They won't appreciate the data and the adults won't all want to watch it!

Adult here, I watched the Sarah Jane Adventures. As I am a Doctor Who fan, I watch and read anything and everything(I can get my eyes, hands, or ears on) that has spun off from or has a connection to Doctor Who.

Real fans don't discriminate and write off a show because it was sort of geared to kids. Though it didn't feel all that much like a kids show, and some of the connections and things they made to the Doctor Who series are things that many kids wouldn't know about unless they had watched a good bit of the old Doctor Who series. Sarah Jane is of course from the 4th Doctor's time, and when the 11th Doctor appeared in an episode they also brought in an old companion from the 3rd Doctor's time.

The writer's knew that even the adults would be watching it.

Besides, when the show was first starting out, the SyFy channel picked it up so that people not in the UK got to see it. When did they air it you might ask. Well they aired it at 8pm, a time when most "young" kids are being sent to bed. SyFy new that the Doctor Who fans no matter the age would watch it, they did have it air just before they aired a new episode of Doctor Who, when it as well ran on SyFy.

Hmm, somebody needs to get them to change it back to Sci-Fi, "SyFy" is stupid.

Eh she was dead when he left

But her regeneration didnt change her appearance unless that wasnt a proper regeneraton

She was healed by the effects of the teraforming device according to RTD

I know Jenny was healed by the terraforming device, but I would add that the machine that cloned her only used the Doctor's DNA.

It cloned a Time Lord, so wouldn't it be possible that like all other Time Lords, she can regenerate as well.

I'm still thinking that the little girl is Jenny, because if I'm not mistaken, I remember that I read somewhere that it was confirmed that Jenny would return in this season.

I wish I could remember where I read that.

See that whole back to front thing makes NO sense. She has no way of knowing that hey won't meet 100 more times. With two time travellers they order they meet in should be semi-random - which is where the diary comparision thing came from. There is no logic in 100% reversed meetings.

I would say it's more a fate/coincidence thing. River has noticed that her and the Doctor's lives are meeting in reverse for most of her life so I would say she is assuming. But she is still right though.

 

[Flying Dagger]

Well I definitely called it being jenny nearly a year ago (though it's not, but when river asked if her old feller had seen her i got a little excited)

which leaves it being rory as her old man, amy as her mother, and the daughter has a time head, is incredibly strong, and will doubtless be foreshadowed in some of the coming episodes.

also i am throwing my lot in with the people calling next weeks episode a dissapointment, though i'm expecting all sorts of things to happen to amy to affect her pregnancy.



Another question people have to ask, is in the circumstance that you and a member of the opposite sex are safe and in a position to start repopulating, most people would, and this would be the situation if it was jenny, and they could have little timelord babies and repopulate the race.

But they're not in complete reverse order. They do have the journals, so there will be times when things are just about aligned, or slightly mismatched. There will be a time presumably after they have both known each other a great deal that they will meet for the super date. There will be a time he trusts her so much and she trusts him so well that he tells her his name. And, even after the first time he meets her, he could see her again, knowing a little bit more about her.

And, you know, he still has to give her the Diary.

Something's nagging at me now, when the Doctor died they said he was 200 years older than he currently was but he showed no signs of aging(David Tenant was aged into Dobby the House elf by the master and the master was aged at the end of the universe), the Doctor also has no control over his appearance after regenerating (otherwise he'd have been ginger by now) so how come he hasn't aged in those 200 years?

My guess for the child is that it's an artificial time lord created by The Silence and implanted into Amy whilst she was captured, the reason for her being sick is because the DNA is incomplete and she completes the DNA by taking it from the future Doctor, allowing her to leave the spacesuit and regenerate into a stronger body.

I'm wondering if the Female time lord is going to replace Matt Smith since he dies fully apparently.

Super Snip

This is why I liked last season of Doctor Who. In the first episode he managed to scare off aliens planning on destroying the world by simply telling them who he is and in the Pandorica Opens, its shown how he is regarded as one of the most dangerous people in the universe. He even says it himself when reciting the legend (paraphrase) "There was a trickster, a warrior, someone who would drop in and destroy your world" Its a nice reminder in a show about good and evil that Good is not Nice [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodIsNotNice]

In this episode she pretty much says its 100% reverse. That's the part that annoyed me. It was his first kiss so she got all gloomy becuase it must be her last. Doesn't make senes.

I'm just going to use the same answer I give whenever anyone says about how something weird always happens when The Doctor lands somewhere. A Tardis is both semi-concious and runs on Narrativarium and as part of its programming is required to make things interesting for the Time Lord in charge so they don't get bored. The Tardis is purposely making The Doctor meet River in the wrong order because it knows that will keep The Doctors interest going.

That is a good explanation of what could possibly happen. But a female timelord?? I'm trying not to be sexist, I am female as well, but I don't think the show would be as good with a female. He did die fully, and how can they avoid the paradox from happening while not letting him die?? In this series I am really hoping that "Time can be rewritten". Thouroughly dissapointing if the next timelord is a girl...

Also; STOP with the two-part episodes, you're just padding them out with crap to make them last longer. Some of the best episodes were single parters, and very few of the double parters are nearly as good. Having a week long gap halfway through an episode kinda destroys the inertia.

The vast majority of Doctor Who's history, including most of the most highly regarded episodes, consisted of multi-episode serials. Four- and six-part serials were common in the 1960s and 1970s. There was also a twelve-part serial during Hartnell's time, and a fourteen-part serial during Colin Baker's time.

Yes but 'Trial of a Time Lord' was basically 75% flashbacks!

Allow me to refine my comment a little. What I said above, I apply to the current series, aka the "modern" doctors.
