Doctor Who Series 6 Fall run

This one was all about making choices and the relationships between the characters. The plot was irrelevent and wasn't meant to be the focus IMO. Amy getting out-of-time could have happened any number of ways. I think it also sets up Amy & Rory's departure from the series.

Oh, I agree the character work was excellent. And the makeup on future Amy was incredible.
 



Amy's definately a gal you'd like to grow old with, yum! ;)
Ok, so I'm an old romantic...with a thing for redheads :p


Good way they showed her having become so bitter because such isolation would drive you insane...which also played back on the Doctor: he knows he need companions to avoid similar issues.

Morrus
well we'd have had no story if it was that easy and
a) Doc was afraid of lethal disease with no cure
b) Murphy's Law still rules even in the future! ;)

Possibly my favorite episode of the Who 2005+ era, if only for the "You're trying to turn me into you" line, which I never expected to hear on the show. They've done horror many times before, but never quite like this.

I liked todays episode for the modern twist on Minotaur in the Labyrinth, and for the compassion the Doctor feels towards Amy and Rory at the end.

Thinking back on it, I don't think I really 'got' the whole point of the 'praise be to him' conversion thingy that victims underwent, nor the explanation for how the other four ordinary people ended up there, so I find it less satisfying in retrospect than I did at the time. I did like the Doctor in it though.

I wonder what the doctor might have seen in room 11 (11 for 11 regenerations?). I'd suspect that the thing he might be most scared of is himself. After all, he has been responsible for a couple of effective genocides (or more), and he realises in this episode how dangerous he is to his companions - a theme which Rory amplifies too.

Yup, I figured it was himself. "Of course. Who else would it be?" Not "what". Definitely himself.

So, what's up with the Doctor liking apples again now? Or was that just a replica of an apple?

I wondered that too. I'm thinking it's another Moffat non-continuity error setting up something, like the jacket in the Byzantium. Maybe the 'ganger is still in the Doctor's place or some such.

When he opened the door, you could hear the TARDIS Cloister Bell ringing. So I figured his bad dream was the TARDIS in mortal danger. Like the Doctor said: "Who else?" The one thing that's going to freak him out is putting his wife in danger...

I think the question that would be even more interesting than "Who/what does the Doctor most fear?" is "Who/what does the Doctor have faith in?"

The maze kept him in the game, it knew that he had faith which the minotaur could convert and feed upon. I wonder what, after all he's seen, the Doctor still believes in.

He prefers to be called Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. :)

Cute episode with the ending being the most interesting part with the set-up for next week. It could be tremendous or a colossal mess. When The Doctor said 'it's time to go' at the end it looks like he really meant 'it's time to go to the lake meeting after about 37 more minutes of screen time.' I'm curious to see how Moffat ties this one together but then another season/series will be in the books.

But didn't the Impossible Astronaut say something that the Doctor at the lake who dies being several hundred years older? I don't see how the Doctor at this age can be going to the lake, unless they're mixing Doctor timelines and not telling us.

The Cyberman episode was 200 years after the previous episode. He spent 200 years travelling around.
