Well I didn't see the clone baby or River songs identity. Wow amazing. I thought we were going to find out why she is prison finally.

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.

Soooo very awesome about River's identity.  That was NOT what I was expecting.  Completely great though and it explains why River knows sooo much.  Also, what's up with her being in prison.  That's going to have to be explained soon.

I read a comment before I should have so the clone thing was a given.  :/  I knew ahead of time.  So glad the Doctor called in his favors, and they all came without a moments hesitation.

Gotta wait til Fall!!  That sucks.

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).

Welcome to the ranks      I have been a fan of Dr Who since I was a kid, watching it on PBS.  Think it is great that the new series has revitalize the following.  The older series isn't very slick in special effects and costumes, but I find it very enjoyable.

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.

Wow what a returning episode that blew my mind if previous episode was great but this twist with mel i couldn't believe how that played out that's just amazing. The sideline story-line was good but it didn't distract from the twist. The fact they did so early on in the episode was great because you got process it while the episode continued. Alex kingston is always great, now we have got full story of River Song.

arksongbird80

We know where the "spoilers" come from.  And how she goes about learning who she is.  My only concern is where is the baby.  Can they save the baby so River Song isn't brain washed to begin with.  That would be great.  The hitler part was just, there.  Whatever....

Loooved Matt Smiths performance.  Great job.

Who cares they raise their daughter

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.

waterlilybarb

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

sanggye

Interesting, River Song was Pond's best friend her whole life.  A fixed point can't be changed, with him dying now, does not change that he is going to die in 2011.  So this is the last Doctor, if they say that he can't be regenerated.

And Arksongbird, you should know that the DR doesn't change history unless it has been changed already.  For him to go back and change River would change everything and he doesn't do that.

i don't know how they can top this episode

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.
