There was that air, and also, the expository dialogue after he'd crashed in which he explained to the woman that the suit was repairing his body so he could not remove it yet.

The Christmas specials oftentimes rip off other stories. Last one was a rip off of the Scrooge story. Remember these Christmas specials are for the whole family, not just for Who fans...

Neil, that would be interesting -- they could indeed have the 11th fall and start to regenerate, but instead of showing who he transforms into they could just switch back to Smith and have another 200 years of adventures. It would also be a convenient way of forcing Smith to accept whatever...

I've got to say, that while I still enjoy the show very much, I am disappointed that this appears to be the third time the show is using a warning about the Doctor's demise to focus the writing staff. The "bad wolf" thing with Tennant's doctor (though i don't recall exactly what that was about...

I can't believe that all the talk about the double Doctors was wrong (the second Doctor being the one made of goo in that bad goo 2-parter, who presumably has gone on to live a goo-d life). I mean, I can believe it, because this season was so scatterbrained, but, the producer could have told...

I agree. There is no reason for them not to live very happily ever after. Rory has hundreds of years of experience and Amy is sharp and gutsy. This is also the first time the Doctor has bought people a house and car, but hey, why not -- a wedding present. -- I forgot, he bought a winning...

Now that's more like it, Duplicates are always a fertile ground for emotional sci-fi. The (new) Outer Limits did it with an episode starring Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars' dad), and Doctor Who did it well too. This is how every week should be! It is so unsettling not to know whether you'll be...

Oh, I think Matt Smith has done plenty with the role. His Doctor has the same depth of loss that Tenant had, but unlike Tenant he doesn't put on a pouty face to show how sad he is about losing the timelords, or grit his teeth. Instead, he shows obvious pain via posture but deflects attention...

I started with Tom Baker, so I never thought of Doctor Who as having fun and escapism -- not often, anyway. It was bleak, often hideous, and the only parts that gave it a lift was the massively inventive dialogue and Tom Baker's delivery. Every place they visited had a horrible, dark secret. The...

Wow, I am surprised a story that lame made it in. Thanks for the correction. Compare Neil Gaiman's story to that one... well maybe that is unfair. But wow.

I assume the doctor who is killed on the beach is the ganger doctor, maybe.

I feel the same way. I had this feeling with the mid-season cliffhanger too, where we join the story as the Doctor is recruiting forces to rescue Amy, and there was massive time compression of his and Rory's quest to find out where she was. Rushed. This episode felt like it was rushed simply...

She was always the prettiest person in the DVD extras!

She'll be giving her side of the story soon, I think she's scheduled for Comicon... I watched Sherlock the other day (all 3 episodes) and it was ok. Kind of Doctor Who, if the Doctor were creepy and uncaring.

Insane. This pissed me off about Futurama, too -- when they take one (short) season, and split is across TWO YEARS. TWO YEARS. The actors will essentially be gone from the show for *almost* two years before the final episode airs. That means that if the show was to return in late 2013 or...

The "50th" hype is silly. So there might be an hour tv special of clips from old episodes. Who cares? I think we here on HTF are not so naive as to think this kind of anniversary means anything,

Or maybe the dying Doctor's regeneration energy went into the girl in the spacesuit, and the regeneration see saw her experience (we did, didn't we? I have to watch it all again to make sense of what sequence we saw these things) was the girl-imbued-with-the-Doctor regenerating into the next...

I am upset by rumors that the BBC is experiencing its amateur-hour antics again, with the possibility of no Doctor Who in 2012 except for a few "specials" -- which, if they are like past specials, are LESS special than regular episodes. :(

It is starting to make sense. I'll assume everyone somehow managed to watch last week's episode? Or is the US still a week behind? I'll spoilerize just in case. So the baby, Melody Pond, gets abducted by the eye-patch lady, raised by the Silence, imprisoned in the space suit, kills the...

I think so. Just look at him on the Confidentials, where he has nothing new to say. A real let down after a fantastic season one (er, season 5).

Yup, that was a worthy moment. Makes this episode essential even if you hate the rest of it, as I did. If this episode and part one had been edited down into one episode, it would still be a pretty bad episode but at least there'd be fewer repetitions of people running around corridors...

P.S. I hope Matt Smith sticks around for at least four seasons. As much as I love Amy Pond, it would be ok if he found a different companion for the last season, just to change things up. But I hope he does not overstay his welcome like David Tenant. The last couple years, Tenant looked...

But it is only being used to create a long-arc. The individual stories are still present, but now there's an added level of depth which other Doctor Who series didn't have. I like it a lot, but I like long story arcs. I guess the last time Doctor Who did a long story arc like this was the...

Ah, thanks.

What is this "Amy Pond Show" opening I keep hearing about?

The similarity of the names Amy Pond and River Song are notable -- just move the letters ahead a bit Pond |q e |r f Song And then hit you over the head with the water association by naming her "River"... But Amy and River don't have any family resemblance.

Just saw the first 2 episodes of the new season. It did not top the premiere of Matt Smith's doctor, but to be fair that was so outrageously good that I did not expect it to. I did not like the very dark tone this season started out with. I also do not like the way they put humanity...

The US as a foreign partner is extremely dangerous, since the US cancels shows willy-nilly.

I wonder if it may be something like what happened on Farscape mid-way through one season or another (I don't recall which), when the show ended up with not one but two John Chrichtons, each having their own separate adventures.

The Doctor cannot go back upon his own timeline (with the exception that he may go back upon the timeline of his other incarnations now and then -- the latter mostly because it is fun to have guest star visits from former Doctors). That really shouldn't stop him from going back to a situation...
