I have to agree with etiolate, but I still enjoyed the fuck out of this episode. This is setting up to be a very kickass season.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #61 on:** April 12, 2010, 05:04:56 PM »

I finally worked my way to mostly catching up. I watched all the specials that preceded the current season which I hadn't watched and the first episode of this season. I was mixed on those final episodes of the last doctor. Some of it was good and some of it was meh. Which pretty neatly sums up the Davies era in general. David Tennant was a very good Doctor and actor but he wasn't consistently given great material to work with outside of the outstanding Moffat episodes of course.

Too early to really have a strong opinion for me on the new season. The first episode was okay but not really special. The new Doctor hasn't really impressed me that much so far so we'll see where that goes. I didn't like that they seem to be setting up another infatuated female to fawn over the doctor since the Davies era was filled with that theme.

Setup of the episode felt like it needed more time to work itself out. Enjoyed it, but the world and conflict needed more time. They also left a lot of things unexplained. Namely:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Why and when Amy makes that video to herself. The sequence directly preceding her seeing herself on video implies that she saw the horror of truth and immediately hit the Forget button. The message itself felt like something made after other events had happened, and the Doctor making a mistake. For the video to have been made after viewing the information you have to accept that the camera as narrator mislead the audience and that Amy doesn't trust the Doctor to make the right choice, and that she was even considering what the Doctor might do. "Oh this is bad, can't let the Doctor know!" is just kind of a distinguished mentally-challenged thinking that I don't buy. If it's a video she made later in an alternate path of time, it had to be sent back in time somehow. Either way seems iffy.

What mistake did Amy make that the Doctor is upset about? Forgetting what she saw? That's her own choice. Again, this seems to get back to the video Amy made to herself and how it doesn't make sense in the end.

Why can't Britain build its own spaceship if even Scotland can? Is it a giant ghetto in the future?

Why are kids taking scary tests and then being fed to a monster that doesn't eat them?

And back to Amy, she remembers in the end! So much for the Forget button.

My thoughts on the video:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

It makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. Make sense?

She knew the Doctor in the sense that she thought he would do something to ease the pain of the creature (which would destroy the ship) or something else, because he couldn't watch something be in pain like that. So she chose to let the ship keep going, and try to get the Doctor out so he wouldn't have to make the choice, then she chose to forget what she saw. That is why the Doctor was so upset, because she chose to forget and try to hide what she had seen from the Doctor. She made a conscious decision to hide information from the Doctor by choosing to forget, then telling herself to get him out.

As for Amy, well apparently she's just smart. She only forgot what she saw on the video, she pieced together the rest of it from what was seen. She saw that the children were spared, and figured out that the creature wasn't upset with the people, it was trying to save the children, hence them not being eaten.

The one thing I REALLY didn't like about this episode:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

How Smith handled the issue of the Time Lords. It just... didn't seem like a Doctor thing to say. Maybe I'm Tennant spoiled, but it just seemed wrong. It just left a bad taste in my mouth.

[close]

spoiler (click to show/hide)

A friend of mine that watched the episode mentioned that Smith will "come into his own" as time passes. She said he was trying to emulate Tennant at times, and that wasn't his character, but the times where he was being his own Doctor, he was good. I'm apt to agree with her. I think he will be good once he is his own Doctor, and drops the Tennant. Tennant is still my favorite so far, but once Smith makes the part his own, he will be a pretty damn good Doctor.

Hey tehjaybo

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I felt at times that Tennant copied Eccelston at first. And honestly, he copied elements of Tom Baker and Peter Davidson (especially Baker) all the time. I agree that the latest will make the part his own, but in ways, that's hard to do considering there's already ten intergalactic crazy characters in the past canon to emulate.

Watched the second episode this evening.

I don't think either of these episodes have been classics. They've been average although better paced and less silly than the average Davies episodes.

cool breeze · « **Reply #65 on:** April 13, 2010, 12:18:00 AM »

yeah, second episode felt very rushed and there were big things that were never addressed after a point. I'll take them rushing this episode as meaning the rest of the season is so jam packed that they couldn't give up an episode slot to flesh this one out.

I'm starting to think that The Doctor not being able to get anywhere on the right time has something to do with the big baddie of the season.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #73 on:** April 18, 2010, 03:06:55 AM »

Meh. For some reason, it just seems like the exposition in these episodes goes way too fast. Still a good episode, but I would have to say the weakest of the three so far.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I would have to say that this Doctor likes to worry about. Just the "we're so fucked" look on his face when the Daleks got away differentiates him from the Tenth.

"But at least you saved the earth, right?"

"At least there's that."

Yeah, The Doctor should have deactivate the robot, it would have been an incredible emotional scene, give some character development to the new Doctor and shown Amy the kind of decisions The Doctor have to make to save her planet.

Pretty much. The show is going to have to explain why Amy doesn't know what the fuck a Dalek is after they took over the planet three times. At least that was acknowledged though, that way the show WILL explain it.

River a more grown up version of Amy Pond. Amy Pond = River Song

and River did mention not wanting to go back to prison and that crack following Amy around originally lead to that prison.

or maybe it was the person Amy was living with as a child, like her aunt or something?

the theories people are coming up with are amazing and seem totally plausible. seriously some crazy awesome shit if this is planned.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

when The Doctor runs away with River and the other guy while the others guard Amy, we see a second or so later the Doctor come back to comfort Amy and kiss her on the head. Notice that The Doctor that leaves has no jacket, and the one that comforts Amy is wearing one

Also looking back to the first episode, at the end we see the young Amy waiting as she hears the Tardis.

Possibly two doctors with two timelines happening. The one we're following is the adult Amy that grew up with the Doctor returning years later. The timeline is getting erased because the The Doctor did correct his mistake and went back for Amy as a child.

would be pretty fucking awesome if that was what was happening

I like the whole Amy thing. To me it felt like the first time she stopped trying to act tough. I mean, remember the Madame de Pompadour episode in Season 2? her and Amy's situation were very similar except for the Doctor telling Amy to wait and her feeling betrayed. When the doctor returns in Madame de Pompadour's later years, she is all about getting down with this dude who helped her as a child and doesn't seem to age. First thing Amy does is knock him out, then lies about being a cop and how many years it has been since they last me. They even show how crazy Amy is about the doctor through things in her room, the various stories of her youth, and the fact that her boyfriend/fiancée is a nurse. Took her some time to get over the two times he left her to wait for years, but she totally wanted the doctor for a while. And consider she just got out of serious danger and was probably feeling a bit mixed about life.

Yeah, I love that. She just wants the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver.

God, that's pretty unique since we just had four seasons of "I'm in love with the Doctor." Now we have "I wanna fuck the Doctor and ride him like there is no tomorrow."

Which is great because the writers are doing a great job already of differentiating Smith and Tennant. It seems like Doctor #11 is much more reserved in several categories. He seemed almost nervous whenever Amy jumped on top of him which was totally different than Eccelston's (who was more fatherly until the very end) and Tennant's (who fell in love and was a very emotional Doctor indeed)

If anything that shows how much better the production is in this new series compared to the old one. Some of the effects in the last four series are just junk compared to what we have now. Even the stupid shit from the finale with the lighting jump was embarrassing and that was months before this new series. Huge jump in quality.
