Unfortunately I found the episode a bit tedious and boring, nothing about it ticked any boxes. It was naff.

 

Next week's episode looks a hell lot better.

Loved it.

My favourite NuWho, ever.

I must agree with Mikey, I didn't find this episode particularly thrilling. Suranne Jones did a good job, even if she was a bit Bellatrix-esque (:kink:) and I thought that the episode had a good theme, it just didn't click with me. That said, next week's episode looks spectacular. I am very much looking forward to it.

Again, I didnt really enjoy this episode a great deal either. It was actually quite tedious, as good as Suranne Jones was through out and I dunno, I think it just lacked something.

 

Or maybe I was just too hyped for Eurovision to be interested in anything else. Who knows.

This episode was just a giant bucket of WTF. Really good and effective in parts, and rather lame and just plain confusing in others. I loved Suranne Jones but then I knew I would, and casting her as the TARDIS was such a good move. I really enjoyed seeing the Doctor interacting with the TARDIS after all of this time but it all seemed a bit random/pointless/silly as a plot, especially because I'm pretty sure (though I'm no fan of Old Who series') that pretty much EVERYTHING that happened in this episode is impossible.

Loved this episode, definitely one of the most interesting episodes in the 5th/6th seasons. Nice to see the Tardis talking, loved her ramblings.

Because Doctor Who is usually a show full of the plausable? :heehee:

The thing is what annoyed the most about the episode was Rory and Amy been stuck in the tardis and running like headless chickens going round in circles most of the time going nowhere, was it really relevant to the episode. At one point I nearly doze off.

Brilliant episode. Something amazing about it all. Suranne Jones was fantastic, and I loved the implausablility of it all.

Completely agree with this...

 

If you put impossible and Doctor Who in the same sentence you probably deserve to be laughed at.

Thanks for being clever dicks (I appreciate it), but I meant impossible within the limits of the series. Rose absorbed a bit of the TARDIS before and couldn't handle it, Donna absorbed the Doctor's knowledge and couldn't handle it, yet Suranne Jones coped fine? (and was only dying because House left, as far as I could see.)

You don't know how House transferred the tardis into Suranne Jones. Couldn't it have been different than how Rose & Donna absorbed it? At the start of the episode it said something about her receiving a new soul. Maybe it had another way of incorporating the tardis inside Suranne. Like how he used the time lords body parts to repair uncle/aunt.

 

Sorry if I came across as jerk, I didn't mean to sound like that. It just annoys me when people try to bring logic into shows like Doctor Who because when it comes down to it the writers can make up new rules when they like. The show allows for new possibilities to appear since we don't have any real world reference to say hang on this isn't right.

 

It's good to question these things though I guess, better than just going blindly along with it.

on DS, they were calling it one of the best episodes of the Moffat era and the best Matt Smith has done :o seems quite lukewarm on here :(

I wonder if we see dead Rory again. :lol: Amy's Choice, Cold Blood, Day Of The Moon (albeit faked), Curse Of The Black Spot, and a hallucination of an aged and dead Rory last night. I so wouldn't be surprised if we see Rory die in another dream/hallucination/some other weird timey wimey way next week!

^You didn't have to spoiler that.

 

 

"The only water in the forest is the River"

 

I wonder what that means and what it has to do with River.

I adored that episode, by far my favourite Matt Smith episode and potentially my favourite New Who episode. The chemistry between Matt and Idris was amazing and the story was fantastic too. Loved every second of it.

:lol: I'm so used to posting things in spoilers in here :lol:

 

Anyhoo, it has to be something to do with either The Angels in the forest, or the very first River episode double header, Forest Of The Dead.

 

I just can't work out what it means in relation to either yet!

Might have something to do with Amy Pond too......

 

No pond in the forest.....just a river.

I absolutely loved that, by far my favourite episode this season. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the voice of the planet but the rest of it was great, the Doctor/Tardis bits were the best but even the Amy/Rory stuff was okay this week.

Oh yeah you have a point about the 'soul' being transferred instead of absorbed. No problem, I was just feeling a bit tetchy. Ignore me.

 

The best bit of the episode, which was on the whole definitely one of Matt Smith's best (on par with the two-part series opener for me), was bizarrely nothing to do with the actual plot :lol: The TARDIS woman telling Rory "the only water in the forest is the river". That bit literally had everyone in my flat like :o :o and speculating!
