Doctor WTF?

That is true. Someone should tell Murray Gold to calm down a bit.

I have a wild theory.

The child is both Amy's daughter and Amy in a Red Dwarf style time loop.

I think Moffat is silly enough to suggest that could work!

I also think she's river aswell which would make sense in a convoluted way and add to the twisty nature of the plot thus far

I thought about that. It would explain River's hyper-competence.

The second episode was a big improvement. The Silence are pretty cool enemies, and I loved the Doctor's solution.

I didn't care for the Super River Song bit with her shooting a ton of aliens. She's the GM NPC.

They need to drop the Amy bit during the opening, as well. It doesn't fit any of the show's history, and is also pretty lame.

The pirates episode was pretty good. It seems to be veering towards the "Amy and Rory Show, with their plucky sidekick The Doctor" though.

Thats NOT a 'negative' - thats how the show started back in the 1960s.

The viewpoint characters were humans/folks from Earth and the 'Doctor' was this strange fellow they traveled with who often got them into misadventures and often rescued them out of mishap.

This is the show going back to its roots - with a slightly more mature tone to it all.

This is my opinion, too. I wish the Rose-Jack period would have lasted longer. I'm very happy Amy and Rory are on board. Hopefully, Moffat will do some interesting things with the trio...

(And maybe bring back K-9 now that Ms. Sladen has passed...)

I wish the girl was Romana, but I doubt it. There will probably be some uber-stupid Amy-River thing.

Apparently there are STILL liscence problems with K9. The owners have even sold the character to a rival (hah) channel Five where he's had a bit of an upgrade and an annoying SJA style gang of kiddie sleuths.

Only unlike the SJA gang they're not remotely funny.

Aw, crap! I didn't know there were problems in the first place. What about Romana and the Rani? Could they come back?

Easily. They're characters not props

Finally watched "Curse..." - eh, not bad I guess. The siren was purty.

danbuter · May 11, 2011, 11:47:49 PM

Was anyone else really annoyed when Amy was giving Rory CPR and the Doctor was just sitting there wringing his hands looking helpless? I thought he was going to start crying. This just seems extremely out-of-character to me.
