New Doctor Who Series

[telecat]

Clara Oswin as she will be known according to some sites. In "Aslyum" she was known as Oswin Oswald. Surely some relative?

Quick question.

Has anyone ever seen these two in the same room together?

That's just ruined her for me

Really? I can't even see a slight resemblance. Ok, they both appear to be "normal" human, but that's about it.

2) David Lynch moment when Pond is in the room full of Daleks. Surprising, and I thought it was great. Especially since Pond herself is a sociopath worthy of Twin Peaks.

1) Yay for more Oswynn, she looks like she was really enjoying that role.

3) Zombie Daleks!

When she was told to wait by the door, started to flake out and went through the door and saw the people in the room. Doctor came to get her and the 'people' were Daleks.

Ooooh Mr....Manners!


Excellent jolly jape

"We do not have tantrums"!!

I liked that one, proper adventure stuff with the spaceship, dinosaurs and space pirate. And a bit of series ark with the computer having no records of the doctor, so it's not just the Daleks that the data on him got wiped from by Oswin. Possibly

Just me that was disapointed then?

I guess I expected more

[FourWheelDrift]

The idea of a Silurian Ark full of animals that escaped the extinction event 65million years ago is good. This episode wasn't.

There's always a duff one. This was written by Chris Chibnall who's previous episodes were, guess what. The Silurian 2 parter from last series and.......................yes you guessed it "42" the one about the spacecraft crashing into the Sun.

He just combined the two.

Nope, I was deflated too.

Lets hope next week is a return to form.

Me three.

The Tantrum droids were risible.

Nefertiti was nice

Riddell was good.

Rory's dad was superfluous.

Storyline was weak.

My little girl loves Dr. Who, she identifies with Amy, loves Rory & thinks the Doctor is a nutter. Tonight was a rare occassion where she could follow the story & understand the gist of what waas going on whilst still hiding behind her fingers when the dinosaurs appeared.

To my mind, that is a successful episode for a show defining itself as family entertainment.

Has " the doctor daughter " made a reappearance yet??

Yep, it was a good episode from a kids perspective, no doubt about that.

Actually, I didn't

...but I see how it could be construed that I had.

[Justin Cyder]

My bad. But to be contrary I do think that Dr. Who should appeal across the board & I feel it misses if kids don't get it.

I'm unhappy that they're screening it an hour later than last year for example. It's a late night for little kids & there is & always should be a grand tradition of children being thrilled by evil baddies in tv serials and that schtick should be on when the kids can see it.
