Torchwood, as a TV show to tide you over, can you ask for much more?TimeLord said:
Didn't realise Sherlock only started filming last month though - can't wait for that in the autumn...and I'll give you that one, Blink was good. As was Turn Left. It's more the principle that I disagree with.
EDIT:
I saw that but as it was in the Radio Times I think it was just referring to a minor character and not THE Jenny.FinalDream said:

I also noted on IMDB that there were uncredited listings for "Silent" (which would have been in the flashback, presumably) and "UNKNOWN" (presumably the little girl)
Good episode. Predictable but good.
Also. I dont think that Doctor will really try to kill Adolf Hitler (as much as i would like to see it). I suposse that name of next episode refers to this old time travel related question "Would you kill Hitler, when he was a child, if you could?" So it will propably be something about changing history.

Well now that we know that River shoots Doctor in the future, and that Doctor made out with his friends daughter that he met when she was an infant (Making the matters 100% not creepy for ANYONE).
I have to say this is quite underwhelming as to the whole (Rise Highest/Fall Greatest). The Doctor certainly did much more amazing things before. And he most certainly failed even more (Like that time when he lived with a bunch of sentient jellyfish for hundreds of years and than caused their species extinction along with destroying a planet by acting stupid) Seriously, that was underwhelming.

It's definatly not a total 'do-over,' for example when Christopher Eccleson changed to David Tennant Rose noticed (to put it mildly) the phsyical change. The Doctor himself's also said that his personality changes between regenerations, so it wouldn't make sense for Tennant to be so compasionate if he had actually been/had Matt Smith's more brutal personality.Generic Gamer said:
As for Timelords having to concentrate to do it, I'm not sure. This is moving onto my opinion, but it seemed to me to be something that happens naturally upon a Timelord's death, however with concentration can be stopped as was the case with The Master forcing himself to die to spite The Doctor. However, I seem to recall something about the origional series where Timelords can concentrate and start a regeneration when not dying. There's something about the high council of Timelords havin gto 'allow' regenerations too, which is why Timelords can only regenerate 13 times, but now my memory is starting to fail me.
It'll be interesting to see how the writers handle River's/Melody's (that's a point, which do we call her by now?!) regenerations, whether they'll do their research on the old series or just throw it out for something simpler. I'm guessing which they do will be decided for them by how The Flesh is going to tie into future episodes.
Personally, I hate Amy and I hate that she is related to anyone as awesome as River Song.randomrob said:
=P
When we first met river, she told us that she was imprisoned for killing someone. Someone very great. She didn't say who.
...
I think Dr.Song will be the next Dr.Who. She's enough timelord to regenerate, and this gets around the whole issue of the original only having so many regenerations on the 'ol body clock. It'll also allow us to have a female lead. That could be fun.

To be honest I really thought Rory came out of his shell in this episode and cemented himself as a BAMF by not looking at that explosion. Also "Let's Kill Hitler" might be the best episode name for any show ever.
And it was all gonig so well...
Seriously, it had the first funny since this new series began, it had Rory not being a complete ***** and getting murdered every single episode, it had lesbians, it had an actually reasonably interesting villain (though nothing spectacular) it had the Doctor showing, well it was still only anger or funny but I've decided that Matt Smith will never show more emotion than Sontaran (ironic given that the sontaran in this episode showed some emotion but shut up I'm trying to make a point here) and then it makes a determined attempt to shit all over itself right at the end.
I thought we'd finally reached the point where it was going to passable, I thought we made it to the level of 'one of the worst episode from the previous seasons' as opposed to 'the worst thing on British television', but Moffat apparently couldn't resist getting in a final blow.
At the very least I had fun laughing at the pathetic attempts for drama in this episode, but beyond that, why is it that Moffat and his team of writers are so consistently awful?
And once more, let me reaffirm just how much I hate River Song. I mean, the woman is about the worst fictional character I've ever seen. I know Grand Moff At is apparently in love with her, perhaps he has a big writer stiffy for the actress, but can he please stop making her the centre of attention whenever she shows up?

i'm watching through this series, on Ep 2 right now, dont care about spoilers, but i remember a film or something: "they never look UP..."
i saw part of the 6th episode beofore the 1st, "hello, i think your about ready to pop!" being a strange thing to hear, i might get to that one before sleeping but probabaly watch it tomorrow, i dont care about spoilers!

You're joking right? You think Amy is better than River as a character?randomrob said:
... Wat.
orgasms aplenty! that however has to mean that the spacesuit at the start of the series that kills the doctor can't have been river/melody because otherwise older river wouldn't be so confused about what was happening... or...something iunno, i think im lost now
Okay if the writing for this series is so bad... Then what have the past series been? Absolute shit? Moffat wrote the better episodes from the past what... Three series?MelasZepheos said:
The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances
The Girl in the Fireplace
Blink
Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead
All great episodes. Better than half of what Russell T. Davies ever put out.
