Sigh of relief here. Doctor Who, sorry, DoctAAARRRRR Who is quite good when Moffat isn't vomiting his smug, self satisfied face into your eyes.

Lily Cole in Doctor Who? Weird.

The dead lads aboard the space ship were interesting looking.

But where did mister angry brows go after Toby cut him? Don't recall seeing him after that.

And they really should stop killing Rory.

Btw. watched the first two stories of Tom Baker time. Everything else feels quite like what I'm used to, but the action... is... well... bad. People waiting for quite long to be struck by something. :s

Yes, angry eye brows vanishes without a trace - lots of people noticed that. This is why Who needs a new script editor because Moffat is clearly not up to the job. :\

Poor Rory. :(

Yeah, that's down to a) poor direction and b) many episodes under ran so they had to push some scenes to be longer. You have to admit that Tom's character is great. THE EYES!!
You may be A Doctor, but I am THE Doctor. The definite article, you might say.

Tom is great and I like how THE Doctor seems to use his environment to his advantage more than pretty much everyone.
But he is quite scary with the eyes and the gaping mouth sometimes. Hrr.

My mother made the exact same comment about the Empty Child. At least Moffat took a couple of years to bring the same sort of thing back around.

Yeah, that doesn't bother me so much. Five years is long enough to leave between similar themes.

I wonder how many people actually noticed the similarities...

SO MANY MENTIONS OF BEARDS.

idk, I wasn't much of a fan of this episode. It wasn't bad, but nothing particularly struck me. I felt the ending/explanation could have done with some tightening up.

Good catch with the Smugglers connection!

IT'S BEARDMAGEDDON!!

I probably wouldn't call it a fantastic episode, but it was enjoyable and a nice change from the 'OooOooh MYSTERY! NOTICE THE MYSTERY!!!' of the last two.

It was pointed out by BlogtorWho. ;)

YES! And those scenes ARE inside the TARDIS, by the way! WE GET TO SEE MOAR TARDIS INTERIOR!!! OMG OMG! WHY AM I SO EXCITED BY THIS!?!

BlogtorWho does commentaries for each episode and he's got nicknames for different characters. The Silence were "Jimmy Big Hands", the little girl was "Little Anne Astronaut" and Captain Avory was "Billy Big Beard." I suggested he calls the OMINOUS VOICE in the next episode "Barry Big Voice" I hope he does.
