Sheepie Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I saw that last night and had to stifle a scream. It's the whole silence thing, them not speaking, not doing anything, but just being there. (have they always been there?)I'm too excited for tomorrow. I'm also loving the Beeb for the viral marketing they're creating for Who. Are Real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Users Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I found the pacing to be pretty slow for an opener but then reflecting back to it, a lot was packed in. Beats the mass amount of chase scenes from RTD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Pritchard Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I really enjoyed last weeks Season opener, the new aliens are a really creepy creation. Looking forward to tonight's episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Mmmmmm, after having watch last night's episode I can't really say I got into them... There seemed to be a lot going on, too much in fact for an opening lot of episodes... It may be cos of being used to the more 'generic' Who style storyline opening the series since the reboot, but I just didn't really connect with the two episodes because it was all this that and the other... Wayyyyyyyy too much going on when usually it gets teasered in the background for a few episodes before the big reveal...Back to basics next week at least... Bring on the Pirates! And yet another alien species the Doctor has condemned to death, he's an arse... And the girl regenerated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Mate, since when did the doctor bang amy? Or how on earth did that happen. Coarrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 If the whole 'Silence will fall' thing from the last series was only built up for these episodes, then that's kinda disappointing... other than that I still really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 The Silence will be back, for sure. We're still yet to find out why they wanted the Tardis explode in the last series amongst some other things. I think they play a larger part in this series.It does perhaps elude to how all those aliens managed to form an alliance last season- they were manipulated by the Silence, and then they forgot.Watched the episode a second time last night, after missing little bits of the episode before. I thought it was fantastic and a cracking two parter for Who. There were some amazing River moments in this episode that was really touching.... that is the last time she will kiss the Doctor and it was his first. Aww. Confidential was also a cracker too. So glad it's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Load of tripe last night. I'm getting a bit fed up with this timey wimey stuff now and Moffats "throw everything into the pot and hope the audience works it out for themselves" approach. The constant story arcing everywhere is making some stories irrelevant like The Beast Below and Victory of the Daleks last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPGG Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 This series has been so crap so far... the new script-writer was awful last series too with cop-out endings and absurd stories which are difficult to follow which makes it harder to watch and thus enjoy. The bad script-writer does Matt Smith no justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 One word to describe that episode.Beautiful. Sheepie and Phill Pritchard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 That was certainly gorgeous!I was quite freaked out during the Tardis Corridor scenes as well. Wonderful, rich set design and atmosphere, top quality acting from both the main cast and guest cast. Well done Gaiman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 The token Ood was an annoying feature in my eyes.It is certainly a better episode, but this is what I feel should be the 'average standard'. It's definitely not up there with the best.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 It was a very expensive episode; it was pushed from last season to this one because they couldn't afford it last year after the Beeb cut the show's production budget. The Ood was used to save some money after splashing the cash on other areas in this episode.Saying that it's not up there with the best, is of course, your opinion, which your entitled to.

Benin Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Might as well make comment on last week's episode...Much improved over the terrible pirate one, what with an actual interesting story and actually challenging the canon of the past series... I doubt we'll see Idris again but I hope we do...The corridor scenes were pretty well done even if the budget could only stretch to one... That should be done more in the future, more scenes in the actual OTHER parts of the Tardis and not just the control room... Oh, and finally...

Phill Pritchard Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yes it made a nice change to see some more of the TARDIS but I personally think it would probably be best not to go there too often as you could kinda see they were using the same set and I think I prefer to imagine what the rest may look like. It was great to see the old control room though. Oh and... "Did you wish really hard?" Best line of the new series so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
