Don’t have much to say about River: I like her just fine but she never really interested me that much. Dunno why.
The Doctor was a bit thick not realising the statues all had to be Angels…or was it a perception field? Perhaps that’ll be his excuse every time he messes up…
The video that came to life: is Moffat trying to discourage kids from watching TV? ;)
I can’t help but wonder if the ‘How clingy do you think I am?” from Amy was actually Moffat having a dig at Rose Tyler. I read somewhere that he didn’t like her, although I have no idea if that’s true or not.
Wow, I really like Amy. She’s fantastic in this. Also, I can’t help but get the feeling there’s something more to her, something a bit timelordy…
Eleven is much, much less tolerant of humans than Ten. I imagine Amy will soon change that though.
Loved Liz, she was great.
Matt Smith really is brilliant, isn’t he? Tennant is the better actor, I think, but Matt just has more Doctorness. Not that Tennant won’t always be my Doctor, but Matt just seems to actually be as bonkers as the Doctor is.
Erm…am I right in thinking that the ending hints that the whale-ship is doomed anyway? That looked like a crack in it. Or am I totally wrong?
Again: really like Amy. Of all the companions she might actually be the one I’m most like.
I’m not entirely sure about the story, it didn’t seem to be much like a Moffat one, but I do like Eleven a lot. Amy too, although her acting inexperience shows.
I guess the Cracks In The Universe thingy is going to be this year’s arc?
Yay for the past doctors!
Looking very forward to seeing where this series ends up.
The last few minutes were so brilliant: Martha! Mickey! (more on that in a minute) Luke! Sarah Jane! Jack (…and Alonso!) Rose! Jackie! I wondered how they would work those last two in, but they did it cleverly, although I do wonder how Rose’s memory isn’t triggered even for a second when Nine regenerates.
Seeing Verity Newman almost made me cry.
Donna’s wedding day was sad because the present the Doctor gave her was basically a present from her dead father, and it’s made more poigant by the fact that the actor playing her father really did die. In fact, that whole sequence was basically a massive tribute to Doctor Who and the people who made it, living and dead.
Martha must have ditched Tom pretty quickly. So the honeymoon she was on during Children of Earth was actually her and Mickey’s? Wow. They are pretty perfect for each other though.
I thought it was nice how we leave Donna in sort of the same place we met her (getting married) except now she’s marrying a man who actually loves her.
Russel T Davies really fancies Russell Tovey, doesn’t he?
The regeneration was so sad. He didn’t want to go…
Er, is it me or was it not explained who the mysterious woman was? There was talk of her being the Doctor’s mother, so…er…was she?
And…okay…is Wilf his father? Obviously only a few people would know that, but they were very strongly hinting it.
Matt Smith was acting just like David Tennant, he practically is basically acting the Tenth Doctor, but I think he’ll be good.
You know, I reckon that in a way I like Doctor Who more for what it does than what it is. It’s a silly-but-wonderful fantasy show, but it’s done so much for so many people. It really is the best TV show this country’s ever made. Kids love it, adults love it, every actor wants to be on it, everyone knows what a TARDIS is, and it was nice to think how many people would be sitting in front of their screens going ‘oooh’ and ‘aaaah’ and cheering. So thanks, all you folks who made it and all you folks who love it. I hope it lasts for a good long while. (I think it will.)
I’m glad I saw that without spoiling myself. It was pretty good, but I think it’ll be better when viewed with the next one. It’s like seeing a movie only halfway through.
OMG, the Master is a Sith!
OMG, how good is Bernard Cribbins? I think Wilfred Mott may be on his way out, though. There’s something going on with him…
I loved Donna in this. She’s like her TRB self except she seems somewhat nicer (probably because her mother has followed the Doctor’s advice). Maybe it will work out with her new bloke?
