Doctor Who - Victory of the Daleks - spoilers

What do people make of the woman that broke out in cries because her boyfriend died? Could this be

Spoiler

a ancestor of Amy Pond, and indicate a break in the timeline and part of these seasons's arc? I mean, the scene was short and seemed... kinda out of place, or at least nothing came from ... That makes me suspicious.

I can see the follow-up episode later in the season when the Doctor return to find the remains of the Earth only to learn that the robot guy got really mad one day and Boom!

Seems like after disarming the bomb, removing it would have been the next order of business, even if it was just a few seconds of sonic screwdriver and a line of technobabble. Unless that plot point will be relevant later.

I may be misremembering, but I thought it was his power supply.

That's a very interesting idea, and made me wonder, too.

I'm also wondering about Amy generally. As pointed out, she seems a bit too smart, too quick to pick things up and too on-a-par with the Doctor. Plus, she doesn't remember the Daleks.

Are we absolutely sure she's human? Perhaps, after the events of the last Xmas special, she's something else... maybe another Time Lord? This is wild speculation on my part, of course.

I also like the recurring theme that this Doctor is always late... I hope that becomes important later, too.

Looks like I was over-speculating, at least by what someone mentioned from the Doctor Who Confidential for that episode. Unless they are tricking us...

1) His asssisstant is gorgeous, please do nto forget that fact, it is very very important for some of us *cough*

2) Yes SCOTTISH persons, not just you lot South of Watford, or them Welsh timerift junkies around Cardiff, it was about bloody time!
Though Eve Myles proves how scrumptious our cross-border Celtic brethern can be!
And

3) Spitfires in Space...HOW BLOODY AWESOME WAS THAT!! Whoohooo!

4) "Broadsword calling Danny Boy!"...damn near fell off my chair, no one else get the refference? hehe

5) Yes there is obviously something strange about Amy....she's also got that crack following her across the multiverse...

6) Catherine Tate's assisstant, though at 1st I hated the idea, was best, ever, as folk note, having a foil for the Doc, it was about time, and she was superb

7) what many of you forget is the Doc needs the Human touch! he's lost it, he needs someone to anchor him, and to give practical wisdom which his super intelligence cannot see, that is the point of the assisstants

Only according to RTD in the last year or two. That's a new concept, and not one I agree with; I always saw him as compassionate and loving life, and not needing someone to tell him to do the right thing.

Hadn't seen any comments about this yet, and it seems relevant since Amy is even wearing the same outfit (nice boots!):

You get to run around. You get to push cars. You get to rotate the camera. In other words, it's everything a whovian could ever ask for.

Yeah, I'm kind of leaning that way. My ideal Doctor was Sylvester McCoy because he really captured what the character was to me: one part tweedy Cambridge professor and one part train-jumping vagabod. He was a polymath. a master of the humanities as well as a science whiz. Now they play up the lonely god bit and he comes across as out-of-touch. OTOH, I guess when you're an intellectual giant, you do forget how the ants feel sometimes.

I didn't mind most of the episode that much; the "talking the bomb down" was indeed a bit silly, but I can see where they were trying to go.

My big objection is the Skittles-brand Daleks. What the heck is with the new color-coded candy shells? Looks really goofy.
