Doctor Who Series 7 (yes, there will be spoilers!)

[BlackPuppy]

OOoo. I need to check amazon and see if the episodes are up yet.

Yeah, I don't particularly think Rory is the Master. But he's definitely not 'right.' He's for sure one of my most favoritest companions ever.

OH! One theory I heard, was in the 5th episode with the Angels, he gets sent back in time, and then continues to age slowly, somehow erasing his Rory memories, and he lives to the end of the universe.... (see where I'm going) and along come Doctor # 9. It made way more sense when I read it though, I didn't explain this very well :P

And yeah, the light bulbs and Christmas. All very strange. Someone mentioned the lights could have to do with the Angels in Manhattan episode, like somehow they have control of time or something.

I don't think we have spoiler tags But I could make a spoiler-free thread, or one that at least doesn't include series 7 stuff.

It's okay, Matt likes to ruin things to me with spoilers anyways.

Of all the things I thought would make me cry, THAT caught me off guard. The Brig's daughter!

Happy crying. How humany-wumany.



And that is where my stream froze, so I have to try again later

They are! They go up the morning after they air. I have a season pass type thing so they're purchased while I sleep lol.

Aawwwwww I liked this episode <3

Nothing really popped out to me about the whole Rory thing, and Brian is awesome! He'd be a good companion

I freaking loved this episode. I do wish it was a 2-parter, though. So much was left unexplained - like the face things, the people being abducted from the hospital, the people left on this ship after it blew up...this needed a second part.

I have an idea on order of episodes, now. Mercy happens during Power of Three, when they're gone for 7 weeks on their anniversary - in that episode they mention Rory left his charger in Henry the 8th's suite, and that happened during Power of Three, so Mercy comes after Henry the 8th, but there is the hat with a home from Mercy hanging on the Pond's wall. Dinosaurs comes before all that because Brian knows the Doctor already in Power of Three. So for everyone it seems as if it goes 2, 4 with 3 taking place during 4. I can't tell yet if Asylum is the first story, or the story just prior to the Angels. I still think the Doctor has already experience The Angels Take Manhattan, hence the "I'm running to you before you fade away from me" dialogue - that's exactly what he's doing. They've left him, but he still has time to go back and run to them for a while.

Amy and Rory are so dying next week. I think Rory will get zapped back in time and stuck there so he ultimately dies of old age or something, but I think Amy's straight up getting killed somehow. The more the Doctor says someone won't die, the more likely they are to die lol.

I've watched Power of Three 5 or 6 times now. It's one of those episodes I'll be watching over and over and over - the first of this series that I've felt compelled to watch more than twice. I watched it 3 times just on Saturday lol.

I love all the nods to the past. The Brig, K-9, the TV movie, Eleventh Hour, even the Bad Wolf gets a mention. There are a ton of others too but I can't think of them all right now. I'm SO glad I got into the classics, or this episode would not have been as spectacular. And I really hope Chibnall writes more episodes, I love his work.

I'm trying to come up with theories for this week. Most of them I coem up with end horribly, but a couple end okay. I'm dying to see what happens. It needs to be Saturday, like, NAO.

WHY THE ROLLER COASTER?

This, however, made me the most sad.



And Moffat still can't kill people very well. River was saved in the Library. Now Amy and Rory get to live out their lives, together, in the past.

I'm going to re-watch it now. I rarely cry the first time through, and I'm in a crying mood, so I figure I'll watch it now. If noting else, Forest of the Dead will make me cry. Or the "Last Night" short. Geronimo!


ETA: OMG Matt Smith's face. I didn't know it was capable of looking that sad

[CharlieDog]

I cried. Terrible. I knew the first time though, just sucked.

Also, I'm now terrified of going to NYC. And we're supposed to go in November

Also, you've probably guessed it already, but I'm all caught up, no thanks to the BBCs websites terrible bandwidth problem.
