It was selection of awesome "huh buh wha..?" moments in a few places this season & I especially like that they've given Rory far more of an active role rather than just sticking with the usual formula of "doctor plus 1 female companion do stuff" - Arthur Darville is a great actor & its letting him show off some of what he can do, plus storyline-wise it adds an extra angle & depth to explore.

In speculation for forthcoming stuff, i still have a nagging feeling about the Silence still hanging around somewhere & that statement "silence will fall" which enemies of the doctor seem to be using as a threat or a taunt - theres a lot of ways that the statement can be interpreted, though:
- everything will become silent, ie they could end up taking over... this seems like a relevant kind of threat, pretty straightforward, which judging by whats happened so far could be a little too easy.
- silence will be defeated, ie fall of empires kind of thing...looks like the doctor defeated them though, so how could that be a threat, or something to taunt him with? unless they were doing something else and the doctor's kind of stabbed himself in the foot by disrupting that?
- or "fall" in the whole "fallen angel" theme...considering some of Moffatt's other twists & turns, this could be a very interesting angle

Regardless, really looking forward to the next batch now!

was D&Ding all weekend. Will watch it. Matt Smith is not my favourite Doctor. NOt even close. Makes it hard to watch the episodes.

As for all the UK peeps out there, I think we see them the same time as you do.

Yes, shown the same time now as Dr. Who was estimated to be the most illegally downloaded series in at least BBC history.

He's not our favorite either, we liked Tennant best...but I have to say I find Smith's performance to be improving.

Not this past week. BBC America skipped showing a new Dr Who for Memorial day weekend, so this past weekend was the episode UK viewers saw the week prior, and this coming weekend will be the episode UK viewers say this past weekend.

Otherwise, they've been in sync.

And Canada skipped on Space to stay in sync with the US schedule (Lord knows why...)

[voidstar2k10]

Who is Dr, Who? Never heard of him.

SPOILER WARNING - HIGHLIGHT TO READ - OTHERWISE MOVE ALONG

When River 1st appeared she did say her crime was killing the Doctor (remember?). In this season, astronaut is shown killing the Doctor and then revealed to be Amy's daughter. So the loop's been closed.

However, we've also seen the Doctor replicated as a Flesh. So who did we see die? Hmm...

[MedicMoore]

My girlfriend and I have been discussing this all season. It came as more of a surprise to her than it did me. I kind of saw this coming especially with the first episode and all.

In response to that (also highlight to reveal)

Actually River never specifically said that she killled the doctor, merely "the best man she's ever known" - that could indeed be the doctor, possibly even the flesh duplicate who died at the start of this season, but was that amy's daughter in the spacesuit that other time though? could have been anyone or anything, just cos someone was wearing a spacesuit at one point doesnt mean that it was the same one later.. Babylon 5 used that trick to good effect years ago in the whole thing with the disappearance of Babylon4 & Sinclair becoming Valen (geeky credentials on show!).
Instead, I think that it could potentially be Rory - especially from the introduction that Amy gives at the start of "a good man goes to war" & considering he was a guy that could endure waiting 2000 years for the woman he loved instead of merely "shortcutting" with the doctor who had already assured him that the pandorica was inpenetrable & indestructable

[ZeroTakenaka]

WOW. It just aired in the states... WAS NOT expecting THAT at the end. Wow.

Rory was my thought as well.
