Even if the Doctor marries who is the woman he will always come home to: his TARDIS.

Idris (sp?) was brilliant, yet didn't know how long human bodies last? Auntie and Uncle's purpose, aside from being someone to talk to for a couple of scenes before being bumped off, eluded me. Smith's Doctor, while normally top notch, felt a little like he was bringing out a series of actor tricks (very angry, very weepy) instead of performing.<br /><br />Although I'm glad we got to see Rory almost die - again. Boy, that never gets old. I wonder how he will almost die next week.Vincent Trumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537113523783541881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-81434323055537256422011-05-16T18:00:13.239+01:002011-05-16T18:00:13.239+01:00Just beautifully done!

They had me tearing at "Where's my thief?!" <br />The thought that they chose each other is just fantastic and beautiful and everlasting. I've always thought of the TARDIS as a character with her own personality, but this really puts it more into perspective. Brilliant idea!<br /><br />Oh and I just have to say... Poor Rory! Hope the writers will stop picking on him.. He needs a good day.Rosefernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512454992272114168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-44540486355793269102011-05-16T12:08:09.902+01:002011-05-16T12:08:09.902+01:00Finally we're getting episodes that make peopl...Finally we're getting episodes that make people think. We're getting episodes that benefit from repeated viewing and reward those who are prepared to make an effort to understand what's going on.<br />Too often tv shows are nothing more than noisy background wallpaper that people half watch whilst chatting or eating. This new era of Dr Who is so much more.

Having watched the revival of Dr. Who with my family, I've been impressed with the series inclusiveness - every family member (kids 5 to 15) has enjoyed something. Lately, I feel the series is starting to alienate it's younger audience. Sure, have the occasional new concept but this series has been over-complicated and wordy. The stylish, vibrant and challenging series that crossed many genre border lines seems to have been replaced by a more niche sci-fi programme. Simply having Matt Smith's wonderful 'ancient child' Doctor can't make up for confusing narrative that merely rewards die hard fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-16237620922428588662011-05-16T04:08:21.279+01:002011-05-16T04:08:21.279+01:00What more can I say that hasn't been mentioned...What more can I say that hasn't been mentioned already? The episode was pure perfection, one of the best in the show's long history. I'm glad that the stars and planets aligned and allowed Neil Gaiman to write for the show.

This was one such, and it was wonderful.<br /><br />A simple concept, executed with the "dark fairytale" feel that has become the hallmark of the Moffat era so far.<br /><br />How wonderful it would be if the Doctor and the TARDIS could talk like that all the time! As things are, he can talk, and she can listen, and that must be enough for the both of them.

It's not something I've ever been particularly keen on as an idea, but it would totally depend on how they implement it. It <i>could</i> work.<br /><br />Overall, an awesome episode.Pat Galeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456709409908373297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-73918472485184967952011-05-15T18:36:55.204+01:002011-05-15T18:36:55.204+01:00A brillaint fantastic episode.
