Well I got to see the second half of the whole Weeping Angels thing.
Two things:
I never thought someone could make just simple stone statues actually seem somewhat creepy. And the episode made the whole situation with the Cracks seem alot more intense now.

That's a classic Stephen Moffat episode for you, something that shouldn't be freaky and scary, made scary in a very clever way! Very Happy

ive only seen the first season and think Christopher Eccleston did a good job

by **Vektrix** Wed May 19, 2010 3:21 am

I'm not sure the current series has as strong story-lines as the previous ones involving Tennent/Ecclestone. They are still amazingly well made and well acted though.

What did people think of the Van Gogh episode, i thought it was pretty cool how they did the monster being invisible for most of it

I've heard its pretty good, though I haven't seen it myself. I am, as far as I can tell, now four episodes behind you guys. (two weeks ago was a long weekend, so they aired something else in its time slot, and then last week I just got my braces on so I was in so much discomfort that I forgot. Last night was the first time I managed to see it).

There was, however, a program after (which focuses on shows on that channel, last night it was Dr. Who), which included a couple tiny interviews as well as some small clips of the finale. Not sure if you guys have already seen most of that or what though.

Certainly an interesting twist on why Van Gogh was so.... interesting.

by **Shrooblord** Tue Jun 08, 2010 2:44 am

Yeah, I liked the Van Gogh episode a lot. Thank Spode for BBC3; I keep forgetting Dr. Who's on on Saturday, until the moment that it's halfway through! >.<
I wonder what other famous actors await roles in Dr. Who. Wow, Bill Nighy, although a small role, it still is Bill Nighy.

The penulitmate episode leaves it on one hell of a cliff hanger, so watch out for that, i'll be interest to see how they conclude it

by **IttehBitteh** Sun Jun 20, 2010 7:14 am

I only like David Tennant, really... Matt Smith is a bit.. yeah. My friend, who is a DW fanatic, calls him squarehead >.>

by **bmpalmann** Sun Jun 20, 2010 7:28 am

You can't deny he's a great actor though, and coming after David Tennant was a pretty brave move.

by **Tyrannigalox** Sun Jun 20, 2010 8:52 am

ugh, I don't like Doctor Who. But David Tennant was the best. Every episode is basically the same, and the mobsters look like some 4 year olds play dough creation.

Agh, I'm sorely tempted to ask what happened yet at the same time I don't want to spoil it too badly...

by **Andeavor** Sun Jun 20, 2010 10:56 am

The debate about Tennant vs. Smith is tiresome and doesn't change a thing. We've had nearly a dozen actors play the part and each brought their own style into it. I find Smith has done a brilliant job thus far and I'm sure if Moffat keeps twisting our minds with his brilliant story writing we'll all appreciate the new Doctor down the line in future series'.

And can I just say "%$#@!" about the cliffhanger in The Pandorica Opens? Surprised

by **MetalStarTech** Sun Jun 20, 2010 1:08 pm

i agree but as i have seen every actor has his own way with The Doctor but if u compare them u have to look at all of them starting with Wiliam Hartnell - Smith and truth is Smith does a good one but if u bring up Collin Baker thats right there were 2 bakers so i am not talking Jelly beans leave that bit there

So what do u make of Doctor seald up by every bad race u know when he gets out it may be a whole new gallexy and Rose may slip through the cracks its a pss u know they said they have plans on leaving a lot behind this may be it

by **Dino589** Tue Jul 20, 2010 2:39 pm

Aw geez, so I am, as I believe I have said, WAY behind and over here we have FINALLY caught up... sorta. This past Saturday's episode was 'The Pandorica Opens'. Pretty insane, with MAJOR cliffhanger ending. Kinda sad to see they set up Amy to go though; I kinda liked her and thought she was a fantastic addition, and would have looked forward to a second season with her. Oh well.
Dang, I am so tempted to ask how it ended yet at the same time I don't want to end up spoiling it.

by **bmpalmann** Tue Jul 20, 2010 6:19 pm

It'd be useless trying to tell you, it' all a bit confusing but very clever at the same time! Wink

Oh, really? All the better then, I suppose.

Ha, well, now that the finale FINALLY aired here, I can see what you mean. I must say, the episode was a bit complicated, but overall quite brilliant. It left a couple little questions for the next season too, which I am curious to find out more about.

by **MetalStarTech** Sun Jul 25, 2010 3:13 pm

2 b honnest the they just caused a temperal time pardox. but if u think her mum and Dad being alive due to The rebig bang is odd consider this

Big question: when are we going to see the doctor's daughter again?!

by **bmpalmann** Mon Jul 26, 2010 7:10 am

I've wondered that too billith as they never killed her off, they just left her.
Anyway as cast members go she should be easy for them to get hold of, afterall she is the daughter of Steven Moffat who writes most the episodes.

Not quite. She's the daughter of Peter Davidson, who played the Doctor's 5th incarnation. His real Name is Peter Moffett, while the current lead writer is Steven Moffat, not to be confused with Steven Moffatt, who directed several serials of classic Who.

In hindsight, Giorgia Moffett really is the Doctor's daughter. Shocked
