Doctor Who — Page 4

According to that list of options, the only choice not matched up with a previous companion is obviously, "left behind", which would make sense for the Ponds since tonight's episode is the weeping angels. Guess we'll find out for sure tonight!

I'll have a longer opinion on the episode later.

But for now, how did the Statue of Liberty leave its island, emerge in Manhattan, and make it to the building without a crowd of people gathering and just staring at it in shock?

AND I liked how River brought up how The Doctor was wiping himself out of history and databases.

I just finished watching "The Angels Take Manhattan" and I am still wiping the tears off my cheeks. That was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL send off to Amy and Rory. Was it perfect? No. Do I really care? Not at all. The Angels were *finally* scary again and I loved the film noir feel to the episode. But, of course, this was Amy and Rory's episode and they were never better. This will go down as one of my favorite episodes and Steven Moffatt really did knock this one out of the park.

To Amy and Rory......goodbye old friends!

Fantastic episode; I was crying from the moment Rory reached the roof of the building and climbed on to the ledge. A beautiful send off indeed.

And The Doctor's last "Come along, Pond" to try to get her back to the Tardis.

I agree that the Angels were scary again. To me, they were not scary in the Byzantium/Forest story. They were violent, and we saw them move instead of just appearing moved. Not as menacing.

It was a good send-off and a good episode. For me at least, it was a surprise when Rory was zapped back at the cemetery. The story made sense (I understood why the apartment building existed more than why the boxes were here). River was great as always. Amy and Rory on the rooftop were so good. I wish The Doctor could have called out for Rory too, but I know his connection with Amy is stronger. I do feel for Rory's dad, but at least he can maybe know that they lived good, long lives.

"Melody, you look after him. Be a good girl, and look after him."

Yeahh, this is around the point that I became useless to the world.

To quote 'RandomAndMad' from the YouTube comments:

"Omg. Jeezus my ovaries? just exploded."

Thanks Josh!

I don't Tumbl, so it's new to me.

I take it as an expression of an overwhelming, lustful desire to copulate and reproduce with the person in question.

While I don't have the organs in question, it gets at the kind of insane, blinding, physiological response I had to the revelation of this heretofore-unknown and incredibly attractive (to me) aspect of Darvill.

If the expression is offensive to those of you with ovaries, I'll look for a more suitable way of expressing myself. (After I listen to him sing again...)

Me too. At first, it kind of annoyed me that they were duplicating the Rose template so far as to give Amy her own version of Mickey Smith--the befuddled love-interest.

Instead of following the Mickey arc of keeping him as a kind of bland, bumbling comic-relief character who then suddenly turns up all capable and brandishing a weapon just when we needed some firepower, they just kept adding layers to his character. To give Darvill credit, he made the most of the role--he was able to give nuance and texture to Rory even with episodes in which he was given minimal dialogue. And whenever they gave him some meat, I thought he was fantastic.

On second thought, ^^^^that's all blah blah blah. I'm a sucker for a red-head with a Roman nose.

I did know he sang, The Josh, but I'd never heard him. Thanks for the link.

A lovely conclusion and closure for Brian. Cried all over again. Really wished they had filmed this.

When is Xmas special?

Will I get the special with my Amazon Season Pass? If not, it may be time to give in to the Darkness and get cable...

Christmas special airs in the US at 9pm on the 25th on BBCAmerica.

I don't know if it will be available on Amazon. The previous two christmas specials are not listed with the previous two seasons (they're available separately as collections of specials for the various doctors), but if it's not included it will probably be available separately to buy and stream.

One thing that could make it more likely to be available is that unlike previous seasons, the christmas special is essentially part of the season since it is the official introduction of the new companion.

Production wise, at least it appears like it's being considered a part of the season which is different from previous Christmas episodes. It's being counted among the announced number of episodes they are doing
