Doctor Who Season 6 (SPOILERS :p)

[Mark Hope]

"The only water in the forest is a river" refers, I think, to River vs. Pond.

Perhaps we will see a return of the Forest of Cheem?

My bet is that it refers to the Library (from Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) where River's e-ghost ended up.

Loved this episode to bits and had to work hard not to blubber like a baby in front of my three kids.

Fave line: "Biting is like kissing except there's a winner." Gaiman is a genius, pure and simple.

The Master ALWAYS comes back, no matter what.

It may even be a completely different Master.

But he always comes back.

So do the Daleks.

And so will the Cyberment.

 

[Fast Learner]

Fantastic episode! I initially assumed (as was the intent, I imagine) that "The Doctor's Wife" referred to River, but am so glad it referred to his "real" wife!

 

[Remus Lupin]

Good episode last night. I liked the idea of "The Flesh" and "Gangers." It'll be interesting to see how part 2 spins out, unfortunately, here in the U.S. at least, we have to wait two weeks.

By the way, did anyone else think at the end that we may have gotten a potential explanation for what happened at the beginning of the first episode?

 

[Thunderfoot]

I think what is interesting is that it appears that the two female gangers have switched personalities. Not sure what the deal is there, but it's odd none the less.

By the way, did anyone else think at the end that we may have gotten a potential explanation for what happened at the beginning of the first episode?

I thought about it but almost immediately wrote it off as a Moffat misdirection due to the 200-ish year age difference.

It was a good episode for Rory. The whole "we need to hate you now" bit felt kind of contrived but oh well. Mini-cliff-hanger to be followed by a mini-conclusion to be followed by the big cliff-hanger. The wait until September is going to suuuu-uuuck.

 

[Herschel]

All hail the Moff. Holy crappin' mind frak. Looks like Matt Smith gets the Channel David Tennant at the end of Human Nature/Family of Blood.

Doctor Who Season 6 Episode 5/6: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People

SPOILERS AHEAD!

LIKES

- The two Doctors. Don't you just love it when the Doctor manages to be brilliant and unpredictable, even when he's two people? The fact that he and his 'ganger' got along so well and were able to plan accordingly shows what strength of character the Doctor has. He's not going to let a little thing like an identity crisis or cloning blues get in the way of doing the right thing.

- Guest stars. This two parter had the benefit of pretty strong supporting cast. From Sarah Smart (Wallander), Marshall Lancaster (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes) and Mark Bonnar (Paradox). The fact that the one off characters in this story are memorable is because of them.

- The twist ending. HOLY S**T! Amy's been a ganger this whole time? And now she's in some weird sterile cubicle ready to give birth? WTH is this? The X-Files? Can't wait for nxt week!

DISLIKES

- The rotting fleshy bits. Flesh that's still fully conscious but rotting? Eyes on the wall? Ugh. Give me a weeping angel any day. My stomach at least can take that.

 

[Remus Lupin]

Wait, I thought there was no episode last night?!?

 

[Pseudonym]

Wait, I thought there was no episode last night?!?

Not aired in the US or Canada, which I'm sure was a torrential disappointment.
