Instead of getting started on the hours upon hours of TV that I put off during school, I decided to rewatch the Series Six opener of Doctor Who. I mean, I have plenty of valid reasons! Well, a few, I guess. Well, one. Moffat is very, very careful with his episodes. RTD writes energized, exciting stories that whip straight from start to finish, but ( Read more... )

YAYYYY good commentary.

I love the Moff, but he seriously needs to stop recycling!

I still think this has to tie in somehow to SitL, because of River and the spacesuit and the Silence....

trololol, the car is totally the tardis... but I don't want the chameleon circuit to be fixed :/

To be honest I hated the whole death scene... it was overdone. He's not really gonna be dead, and ugh, it just bugs me. The baby bugs me too... I can't help think it's like Amy's Gwen, ahaha...

FAKE TARDIS! Yesss, I caught that too.

I really want to rewatch this episode now :)

The rewatch was almost better than the first watch, to be honest.
The spacesuit! I stumbled upon a picture of the moon landing randomly today and saw the spacesuit and got a little creeped out. :P It has to be River in the suit, though, because if she actually does kill the Doctor, well, there you go.
You know, I'm okay with the car being the Tardis, but I'm not okay with the fact that it's not BLUE.
Seriously not happy with the pregnancy storyline. DW is supposed to avoid plot cliches like 'oh hey I'm pregnant'.

Sometimes I feel like I'm tolerating the Moff's irritating stories because the scenes are pretty and colorful and the dialogue is clever.
