We'll see. He also wrote the series Neverwhere, and it was only OK. His movies have also been OK. There's nothing he's done outside of prose or comics that has really wowed me.

Hey Comcast, where's the third episode in HD on OnDemand?

the character was forgotten as well... my friends and I were like "What the hell, there's a missing guy... "

I enjoyed the episode well enough though, but I really hope the next one is better. Since it's called "The Doctor's Wife", I expect REALLY BIG things from it.

Also, what the fuck is with this intro bullshit? Has anyone noticed that instead of the normal intro, they have some spiel from Amy talking about "her doctor"? The show is "Doctor Who", not fucking "Amy Pond". I do not like this. While I think Karen Gilliam is hot as shit, the show is NOT about her.

Edited for spoiler tags for those whom have not seen the episode yet.

Neil Gaiman. He wrote the next episode.

It will be good.

WOAH. WHAT. This I gotta watch.

The Neverwhere book he wrote after the miniseries is very good. The series itself, not so much. The comic adaptation by Mike Carey and Glenn Fabry is also very good. Maybe it's just that the BBC doesn't spend money on sets, costumes, and effects which are more or less "free" in prose or comics. But the show falls short.

Now I will shut my mouf.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #70 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:12:09 PM »

It's amazing how much quality stuff a good writer can cram into one self-contained episode. Bringing the TARDIS to life is a very delicate and controversial matter, but this guy handled it very gracefully. He should write more Who episodes. I wouldn't even be upset if he replaced Moffat permanently.

Diunx · « **Reply #71 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:53:25 PM »

Damn that has been the best episode of the reboot so far! absolutely loved it, I hope they make a tradition of having comic book writers do Who episodes, bring on Grant Morrison!

Agree on most of this.

I think Gaiman learned something from Neverwhere and used it with this episode, in regards to BBC budgets.

"The show starts off and they go to a living planet beyond the universe!"
"sounds expensive"
"it's made up out of junk from old sets."
"GREAT SCRIPT"

Diunx · « **Reply #73 on:** May 15, 2011, 09:49:19 AM »

Even confidential was brilliant! I wish most of the one off episodes would be this great

Brilliant episode. Definitely one of my top five from the series so far.

new episode is crap

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #77 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:06:05 PM »

A major step down from last week's episode, but nowhere near as crappy as the pirate episode...

spoiler (click to show/hide)

It was ok. It had a bunch of nice ideas, like the ganger-existential ones, but was ruined at the end by the lady-with-zapper plot device. The twist at the end was also predictable, but I'm fine with it.

I'm actually looking forward for the second part, especially if they're going to identify the flesh as Autons, and somehow tie Rory's reluctance with the fact that he was (still is?) at one time one of them.

Funny thought mentioned elsewhere: what if the Doctor that was shot at the beginning of the season is actually the ganger lol? That would be one of the lamest and most clichéd pages to be pulled out of comic books.

I'd been thinking it was going to go a similar route for some time now, actually. Though I can't wait to see what the next episode is going to be, since it's called "Lets kill Hitler"

We don't get BBC America HD until September 20th, so I won't be watching until the episode pops up on Comcast OnDemand in HD.

The second half didn't work for me.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #96 on:** August 29, 2011, 11:57:56 PM »

I liked it, but I've always found Dr. Who to be incredibly campy and over the top, just like this episode.

Groogrux · « **Reply #97 on:** August 30, 2011, 08:02:56 AM »

I actually enjoyed it. I take less to the campy episodes that are off the wall side stories.

Tucah · « **Reply #98 on:** August 30, 2011, 09:25:33 AM »

Just got around to Let's Kill Hitler. I enjoyed it. The River stuff is getting kind of annoying at this point but the episode was worth it for badass Rory.

I missed the last two episodes. Were they good? Better than the rather disappointing Let's Kill Hitler? I only saw the Avclub's reviews in my newsfeed. B- for both of them.

Night's horrors was pretty meh, the last one was excellent.

But they got rid of the ginger, and she was the best looking companion EVAR

Amy was fun and sexy without having to be crushing on the Doc.

Plus she brought along Rory

win win

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #112 on:** September 20, 2011, 07:11:05 PM »

Amy was the best companion since Rose

Groogrux · « **Reply #113 on:** October 05, 2011, 08:04:11 AM »

So I take it that the rest of you are feeling equally disappointed by that finale?

Diunx · « **Reply #114 on:** October 05, 2011, 08:50:57 AM »

Yeah it was pretty meh, I hope they go back to the two parters next season.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #115 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:42:05 PM »

I rather liked it. I was kind of sick of the big epic season endings.

cool breeze · « **Reply #116 on:** October 05, 2011, 02:19:14 PM »

It was fine. My problem is that nothing mattered or made a difference.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

If the Doctor just told River to look into his eye at the beach, she'd kill him as planned and everything would be fine. Instead, based on a misunderstanding, she refused to kill him and that's what destroyed time and blah blah blah she eventually realizes what's happening and we're back to the beginning.

Unless there was a plot point where the suit was recording everything River saw or did, it just felt like a lot of fluff to get to the same resolution.
