Think Timelord was held back by the Forums being borked.
I don't know.
Amy: Warrior Princess was cool but....
Meh.
Maybe it's just because I've seen that plot used so many times, but this season seems lacklustre.
It's not BAD...just very disjointed and the aliens/robots actually look worse than the rubber suits that they used to be made of. Both the Antibodies and the Healing robots just look laughable.
Just think there's too much Joss Wheedon slipping into Moffat's work. Little scary child, Ninja Hookers, Dumb/Dependable Men, Stumbling Zombie Monsters...
Not impressed.
Not wanting Davies' monstrosities back, but you can do so much better than this Moffat.

On the other hand. Two Amy Ponds!
Great episode.
I quite liked it actually. It was good to see a more character based episode with cool Doctor Who-ish elements in it. The only thing that bugged me was why wouldn't Rory say which button to press at the beginning if there were two? A small complaint really, and I'd forgotten about it after 5 minutes but it did bug me a little at first.
Fantastic episode. Acting was amazing, really dramatic - excellent. Will have to see whether next week's will compare.
Also, on a more geeky note, noticing a couple of patterns with the monsters in the episodes so far in this half of the series that I felt were significant:
1) They are always trying to be kind. The electric jellyfish were all "Please remain calm", the kid just wanted to fit in (and the dolls to "play"), and the monsters in this episode speak for themselves. "This is a kindness."
2) Their touch is deadly. The jellyfish were an instant kill, the dolls were an instant transform, and the robots were an instant anaesthetic.
I wonder if it's meant to be a metaphor for what the Doctor does to people. Think about what characters are starting to say, think about how his reputation preceded him in AGMGTW, and think about what we're building to.
Of course, I could be wrong. I just think it's interesting.

Does the presence of a katana make future Amy even sexier than her 36 year younger counterpart?
That's a question that I will have to ponder for a while.

Eugh... A well presented episode, I guess, but the central moral dilemma was a piece of shit.
So, life for the past 36 years has been utter hell?
Would you sooner have never experienced it? Great! Let's get "past you" out of here/now without it ever having happened.

This episode was good, kept out ALL of the river/doctors death bs and went for a nice, well thought out story. But what IM excited for is the next episode, it looks very nice and it looks like it could be a bit like the episode Blink (it does have weeping angels in it).
Yeah it was a pretty awesome ep, probabbly the best of the season. I'm amazed that Rory and Amy are still traveling with the Doctor after that one though! And How come they never get to just visit another planet without killer robots appearing!

It's commonly known as Waif Fu [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WaifFu], and is why a Stripper who dresses like a Police Woman can build a Sonic Probe and shred robots without actually swinging her surprisingly effective and wellbuilt Katana until a man comes along, where she gets all emotional and falls into his arms.
