Boba Sweat Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 well for the sonic haters, it was touched upon tonight! good episode, written by richard curtis (blackadder, notting hill, four weddings and a funeral, love actually) surprisingly touching towards the end and rather amusing how van gogh's scottish accent is compared to amy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Legend Killa Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I liked this one. Less running about being stupid and more Doctor time. The more we see of that side of the story the more I like Matt Smith. And yes the sonic thing was good! I hope they stick to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 In ten years or a bit more I'd like the Powers That Be make a go at getting Colin Firth as the first "old" Doctor in like... geez what would it be then... 40 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Amy's Choice was a combination of neat and lame. There were several diagloue exchanges that happened with Amy and Company that just made me groan so bad. The worst offender was the absurdity of Amy, who's one night away from her wedding day, says she has never told Rory she loves him. That is a dumb line and as a result it makes the characters dumb. What lame ass moron proposes and then is a night away from marriage when his girl hasn't said I love you to him?! Also what stupid woman agrees to marriage, in that modern time/unbetrothed circumstances, without telling the man she's marrying that she loves him? HOW THE HECK DOES THE TOPIC OF MARRIAGE EVEN COME UP PRIOR TO "I LOVE YOU"?!!!!! But with that said, I like the dark Mr.Mxyzptlk version of the Doctor. So was this a new personality quirk or is it a reassertion of something like... what was it now... the Valeyard? The twisted version of the Doc from the distant future or some alternate future or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep Murderer Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Okay, so I'm watching Season Five again after blasting through season one through four. I'm wondering if they're going to pull a "this is all a dream" at the end of this season. You know how they used birds in Amy's Choice? Well, you can hear birds when the Doctor was waking up after Amy knocked him out in the first episode. Also, in Vamipres at Venice the villian says "dream of us". There are other episodes in which you can hear birds as well. It could all be coincidence, naturally, but I am suspicious. This is the short version of my reasoning. Gods, I'm putting too much thought into this. Someone kill me. Edit: Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention the Dream Lord's reflection at the end of Amy's Choice. There's that too.

FFfreak Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm scared that you have a very valid point. if they pull out the 'its all a dream' excuse i will be distraught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Vincent and the Doctor: Not a bad story. I much preferred the second half of the show. This is how stories should be written. I thought the Doctor was incredibly out of character in the beginning; a bit too enthusiastic about joining in on a fight. But, he did come to his senses later in the show. Am I beating a dead horse with Karen Gillian? I don't care. Her acting and character are the best things going for S5 right now. Seems that the writers and directors are still figuring out what kind of Doctor MS is, which is fine...to a certain extent. It just seemed that half way through the write on this script someone tapped them ont he shoulder and told them to clean up the mess...and they did wonderfully. Final conclusion: First half: 0/dud/crap, second half: 10/4 stars/fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Great episode!You know, if they ever decide to do an old Doctor gain, Bill Nighy would be great.I was thinking the same! Except as the First Doctor. I liked the character interaction in this one rather than the monster-of-the-week bit. I think it shows dialogue can drive the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say I love you this week." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Haven't seen it yet. Will pay attention when I do. Also... My wife and I saw the trailer for the next episode to air on BBC America, yet again it seems Amy is near death or something. Ugh. We're getting so tired of the companion being in fatal danger every episode. It is tiring to see the Doc angry and moaning over Amy's welfare in every damn episode.

Gman Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 The Lodger: Excruciatingly bad story. The writers continue to throw away almost 50 years of history to convenience themselves. This time around, they tell us that this 900 some odd year old being who’s spent centuries on Earth, somehow has forgotten all its customs and how to “act” human and what’s normal and what’s not. To say the least, the rest of the plot was just nonsensical. There’s been stupid and annoying stories before (The Chase, Fear Her), but this is the first time, in my opinion, that The Doctor himself was stupid and annoying. I really think if we weren’t right next to the finale, I’d be quitting this season. Oh yeah, and they were on Earth AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm watching the Earth Eater episode now... it's more interesting than all episodes but for the premiere so far. Nice. However I am hating one thing so much... the Doctor is weaker than a 50+ year old female scientist. This female scientist pulled an overweight grown, old man out of the consuming Earth but good old Doctor 11 couldn't even lift little Amy out of the ground under the same exact conditions. Lame.

The Human Torch Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Why the **** didn't they unlock the door right away when Wesley Crusher was begging to be let into the Church?! They are all sitting there pulling on the door and then when it's too late one of them unlocks the bolt and pulls the door open!!!
