Spoiler: Responses and spoilers

Yeah it's going to be linked, well it's going to follow on from what Prisoner Zero said:
"The pandorica will open and silence will fall"
So no answers yet for the reasoning as to the fish from space side of things, plus there's going to be a big 'spoiler' revealed.

This is why the doctor wanted rory and amy to do what they did, that's why they're both so important. If they didn't do that within that time line then... well what happened in the end wouldn't of happened.

Anyway a great episode from Moffat, and by the way the people that have said about the two worst episodes... just remember he wasn't the one that wrote them. Yes he did approve the power ranger like daleks only because they are closer to how they used to look than the gold plated newer ones.

He's a big fan of the old days, hence the Tardis looking like williams' and showing the older faces, plus he did say this was in his view the 37th series rather than the 3rd.

Time war... please that's destroyed the main appeal of the doctor and I hate RTD for making that up. There's now going to be no unexpected pit stops for the doctor to do what the time lords want him to do, on top of that it's changed how the doctor is. What was once a trap of the universe wondering around doing what he wants is now a constant world hero, something that Moffat has tried to turn away from everyone knowing.

Rename rec room The Tardis, after all it looks so much smaller from the outside.

I've watched it again (Twice).

Rory says, casually to Amy's mother - "I was plastic. He was the stripper on my stag night"

Spoiler

If Rory remembers living through nearly two thousand years of human history, following the Pandorica across Europe, then this opens up some interesting avenues for next series!

Remember though that history was undone and therefore rewritten, Rory only remembered being plastic and doing all of that. Doesn't really clarify if he is still plastic but I don't think he would be.

By the way, off topic completely but what's the posting rules here? Always wondered that what with the double and triple posts going on.

Spoiler

He remembers being plastic - they clarified that it was *him*, literally him that was the soldier and he that wasn't, like, a copy -- but they all remember the events of the Pandorica Opening storyline, so it should stand to reason that Rory remembers most things he did during that time... Possibly.

By the way, off topic completely but what's the posting rules here? Always wondered that what with the double and triple posts going on.

Don't worry: the moderators make them up as they go along.

We're here to have a good time not to look good - without meaning to sound too anarchistic the rules are pretty lax and as long as you don't be an ass or act like one you'll be fine.

It also depends on the context. Twitter thread? Nobody really cares; project thread? well, are they relevant, necessary, and not just bumps or one worders?.

 

[Ellie]

Hell we haven't warned anybody in years. We're just here to have fun!

 

[Ellie]

Heck sometimes it helps. If you're writing a post and would normally add a tilde, or a line break, or several spaces, to break up a wall of text to point out two things are unrelated, often double posting is better.

Back on topic, can't wait for the xmas special. I was a bit iffy because it's such a cliched scenario - but then the xmas specials always are, which is what's cool about them. Splits up the series' with a bit of fun.

I still wish we got to see Space Florida though :cheers:

...and how the Doctor rescued it from Space BP...

Steven Moffat said that Matt Smith grew fond of the fez so they had to destroy it to stop him from insisting on wearing it next series. Matt Smith had also once said that he hoped the costume evolved to include a hat.

[bashful crobat]

Yeah, if you watched confidential on bbc3, they did a 5 minute or so stint on la fez

 

[Holder]

Ah okay thanks for clearing that posting thing up

Spoiler: next series 2011

Just a little insider info, Matt's looking to alter his outfit for the next series though we won't know 100% until we get some sneak photos from shoots on location.

Plus the first time in the new ones that an assistant has carried over with the same doctor ^^

fez ^^ Ah he can buy one later, brilliant how that was the first thing he was disappointed about.

Oh Someone mentioned about seeing another three doctors like movie, I don't think we'll ever see Christopher Eccleston as the doctor again - He really wanted out of that role asap. Tennant would love to as he last said. Tom Baker would only come back as a bad guy ^^ - and I'm not sure about Paul McGann since it was licensed to Fox who knows how long he's under contract with them for that character on TV, but I know that after the film he did flippin loads of Radio episodes and or audio books. So I wouldn't mind those three in a movie together.

 

[bashful crobat]

If he buys another fez, he will run into river and she will confiscate it. It's bound to happen.

Okay here's something that makes it seem no-one likes the ideas and concepts RTD came up with or something deeper...

Father's Day episode, with the events from someone being within the world that shouldn't be. Okay they've done that one alot where people have lived on and those creatures didn't appear.
Now in addition to this those creatures were made incredibly strong when a paradox of one person from each time touched and these creatures would ONLY deal with matters instead of the ones that normally would....>>Theory idea inside

Spoiler

Doctor explains to Rose that her actions have caused a time paradox, which the Time Lords, if they were still around, would be able to fix; instead, the flying creatures are like bacteria, sterilizing the wound in time by consuming everything inside it,

Could it be that they are back? Is this just a big huge mistake or thing they'd like to try and forget, since episodes have had people living that shouldn't and the doctor now re-writing time in a carefree way.

I know it would take a lot of wait wouldn't they have been here and what about this and thats but it's the only thing I can come up with that still makes sense to the whole of the newer series'

I will bring my discussion to the table about The Big Bang eventually about things I loved and the things I viciously hated, in video format as part of my Series 5 review I'm nerding out for youtube. But two things I'll say before hand, thought the episode was great fun and a lot of good moments, The Doctor and Rory made a great team, River forcing a make a Dalek cry mercy was great and Big Bang 2 was great as was the ending as to how they didn't explain everything and that next season is a continuing story rather than the end of one season and the beginning of another, it's kinda how I always hoped the Bad Wolf would play out. BUT sometimes I think that certain "If you can remember me I can come back from the dead and never-never-existed-land" parts were utter bullshit that made no sense what-so-ever as the story currently explained it, DW is always known for the bizzare and wonderful but that was just a step beyond, almost to the level of Victory of the Daleks, "Oh I can deactivate a bomb in my chest by thinking about a girl I had a crush on in my implanted memories".
