I've really been enjoying this season.  I watched last season the weekend this one started, so am liking the new Doctor better now (I didn't watch much last season as I wsn't ready to like him).  I LOVE Amy though...and I find Dr. Song quite an intriguing character.

I just watched it.  I hate that it's to be continued AGAIN, but I love the story arc.  It didn't air on the space channel last night (I was totally bummed out) because it's a holiday weekend in the US.  SO glad I didn't have to wait another week to see this week's epi.

I'm wondering not only how did Amy get there, but where is she exactly (or maybe the better question is WHEN is she)?  Very cool.  Now I wait again.

BTW, I wear bow ties now.  Bow ties are cool. ;P

waterlilybarb

LOL!  And don't forget fezes...they're cool too - maybe not.  hahaha

I didn't see it coming that the baby was a clone, but as soon as I saw her name, I knew who she was.  I just hate that we have to wait months to find out what happens next.  

waterlilybarb

I've been wondering if she's the one who "kills" the doctor...even before I knew she had Time Lord genes in her (which is way cool, just like bow ties. lol).  

I'm now catching up on the series since the reboot.  I wasn't a faithful viewer, so have not seen all the episodes, and haven't seen them all in order.  I'm on season 2 now.  So glad I HAVE seen the Christmas specials already (they reaired Victoria Day weekend here), since we haven't got those on the site.

Well had a long post, lost wifi right when I was posting a couldn't get it back... Episode was cool, I liked it alot, knew melody was River as soon as name was shown.  Liked seeing all the old enemies ...

I HATE when that happens!  I enjoyed all the old foes coming to help too.  I'm immersing myself in Dr. Who these days - and might even rent some of the old series' through the summer.  I like being a neo-Whovian, but think I could easily become a full-fledged one.  My Mum would be so proud (she was the one who got me interested in sci-fi).

I kind of like the lack of "slickness".  It shows the times, but also the imagination and ingenuity of the creators.

I'm so excited that it's starting again in a couple weeks.  I have 2 episodes left of season 4, which I never saw in order, so I'm trying to drag out watching them, but I don't think I'll be able to.

SPACE had a Doctor Who-a-thon on Saturday, so I watched all the epis of this season again and picked up on a few things I missed the first time around.  I LOVED "Let's Kill Hitler".  How Melody/River was reintroduced was SO cool.  So we know that the Doctor's death is a fixed point, but since River killed him already (then resurrected him with what was left of her regeneration power), I'm wondering if she is imprisoned for something else.  I LOVED the Doctor leaving her the brand new notebook - which has been so old & tatty previously.  The beginning of River is quite interesting.  I SO wanted another new episode right after watching this one, but I also want to stretch it out, as there are only 5 more regular epis this season.

BTW arksongbird, I totally agree about Matt Smith's performance.

Just noticed that clip.  There was a special about the monsters on too.  I think creepy clowns would be good monsters because I already find clowns creepy. lol

waterlilybarb

But in "The Impossible Astronaut" (which showed the Doctor being killed), wasn't the Doctor 200 years older?  So 2011 isn't necessarily the year in our timeline.

waterlilybarb

Those dolls were creepy...almost as creepy as clowns.  Sure glad I didn't see that as a kid.  I've always had a very vivid imagination, and that would have freaked me out more than I already freaked myself out - I used to always think my dolls came alive at night, just not with big creepy heads.

waterlilybarb

Maybe because the Doctor is so old?  As for the dolls - no idea why they had to have such mangy hair, but it DID add to their creepiness.

waterlilybarb

Looks like you & Tina are geting your wish.  You'll see what I mean after watching "The God Complex".

waterlilybarb

Definitely not, but there are only a few more epis this season, and I don't see that she's in them - just from the little blurbs in the tv guide.  I'm curious to see what brings her back in and also am looking forward to an epi a few weeks from now for a returning character.

waterlilybarb

Not yet.  One more season of Amy.  She's been my favourite since Rose, and I liked the others.  Very spunky.  Plus, I think Karen is great.  i'll miss her when a new companion comes along.

waterlilybarb

I loved this episode!  Loved the humour as well as the the story.  The ending has me wishing next week was here already, but also wishing we had more episodes to come this season.

waterlilybarb

I'm wondering if River will die.  That creepy chick with the eye patch was singing that song - it said the doctor must die, then she remarked that they made River a doctor, since she was wearing her graduation gown.  I know it's supposed to be OUR doctor who dies, but that might be a way around it.  

waterlilybarb

Don't worry.  Won't post any spoilers sweeties, but I LOVED this episode!  Great season finale.  I AM bummed it IS the season finale, but I'll get over it.  Can't wait until everyone has a chance to see it to hear opinions.  I WILL say, I was surprised, which isn't always easy to do to me, so that made it even more enjoyable.

We've been requesting them since Doctor Who was added to the site.  If you haven't already done so, the best place to put that request is in the New Show Suggestions Thread.
