As there seems to be no love for River i just thought i would say................

RIVER ROCKS!!!!!

I am curious to how they're going to pull this off without a paradox, Ever since the first appearance of DR. River Song we all knew how her story ends, but to see her origins this season has been a treat. Now as for Matt Smith, he's growing on me as the DR. at first I thought he wasn't up to the part, but he has really embraced the character with each passing episode. With the Doctor Who anniversary fastly approaching I am hopeful we see past doctors in a very big anniversary storyline as well as favorites like Rose,Capt. Jack Harkness, Donna Noble, Mickey Smith and his awesome wife Martha Jones. and what about the DR.'s Daughter Jenny?

I think they could really do well by acknowledging the passing of Sarah Jane Smith, that would be a very big storyline, as the DR. truly did care for his Sarah Jane.

Don't get me wrong, I've liked the River character it's just been too much for one season. And the whole thing doesn't make since to me - Amy has a baby that's taken from her and she's not obsessed with getting it back because she finds the Doctor will someday find her ( boink her ) and she becomes River? I can't think of any mother that would just go about a normal life and not want her child back. That's why I think this season while there have been good episodes as a whole it weak.

I think they could really do well by acknowledging the passing of Sarah Jane Smith, that would be a very big storyline, as the DR. truly did care for his Sarah Jane.

I agree. I'm surprised they haven't so far but I guess all the stories for the season were already set. There are loose ends there to tie up too. What will happen with Luke, Rani, Clyde, the computer Mr. Smith and most importantly K-9 ( I want him back with the Doctor ). It will be a BIG mistake if they don't do something to acknowledge her death. Maybe for the Christmas Special.

Of course they could always say ( that after all her time with the Doctor and in the TRADIS ) she got seriously wounded and her body healed itself changing her appearance a little ( not a real regeneration ) and then cast another actress in the part. I wouldn't do it but who knows what the BBC might do.

Wow wasn't it great the way he, oh, wait a minute, Spoilers.

Is tonight the full season finale ?

Or is it part-1 of a two part story ?

[Surfsup]

I was getting a bit worried beforehand, that I was going to hate this episode but...it was absolutely brilliant, and very clever! There's also a lovely touch concerning an old character that nearly bought a tear to my eye. It was a fitting end to the series and left us with a question we've all been asking for quite a number of years ;-).

it's only one episode, all the answers are here, well, allmost all, except the ones that don't get answered, oh and the new one.

[jwyblejr]

Had a feeling that's what they would do. I'll wait about a day before adding any more thoughts.

>Had a feeling that's what they would do.

Me too; sort of. I didn't see the EXACT end coming, and I'm curious for next season, since I think we all know what the mystery's gonna be.

And an aside: Is it just me, or has Rory been getting progressively bad-*** as the show carries on?

Spoilers!










I knew the Doctor wasn't going to die but the thing that interested me was how he was going to get out of it. They threw a lot of red herrings and I grabbed every one of them.

The duster coat swap, the gangers etc. I had totally forgotten the shape shifting android ship and that's the beauty of it all.

Really enjoyed it, all the magic was there and the Brigadier thing made me sad as I assume Nick Cortney died waiting for the call as well.

[Mikey]

Ever since Smith/Moffat took over i've been liking the show less and less -- mostly because of River and his never ending complicated story arcs.

I hope the next season starts getting some of the magic back for me

As far as the season finale last night, it was like meh (just glad they finally wrapped up the whole River thing - I hope)

[wolfie]

Even Steven Moffat said last nights episode was " the maddest ever ".

How are the young children supposed to follow what is going on in this show anymore?

Or is it the adults who are confused and we need the kids to explain it to us.

[Mikey]

I don't think young children are following storylines

They're more interested in short "cool" scenes like the skulls attacking the guy etc.

They couldn't care less who River is much less the Doctor himself.

I thought it was really good last nite,the best story from this series,i am not really a fan of River,i wished it was her who got shot instead of Robo Doc I think the Dr does need some new companions,James Corden was good in the Closing Time episode,so he would get my vote or even just Rory.

SPOILERS.

I'm just wondering about the logic of it all.
So the Doctor has to die, because he's...disturbing the natural flow of time? meddling too much?
His death is a "fixed point in time". Whatever that means.
Who wants/needs him dead, I ask?

Let's assume he does have to die.
They kill him, but he's a robot. (can I just add one "yawn" here)
So he's officially dead, and the Universe can resuming going about its business.

So I guess now he totally has to stay off the radar to convince everyone he's dead.
So he'd best regenerate, 'cause they know what he looks like.
He'd also best fix the chameleon circuit, because a blue phone box gives it all away.
And he'd better not save anyone anymore in a conspicuous way, because, again, he needs to keep a low profile.
So he needs to disappear for real.

I find the Deus ex Machina ending (woohoo, it was a robot), a very cheap device to get out of a tough spot. And why did the Doctor and River have to get married? Was this in any way needed?

I know I'll probably get the label "hater", so I'm taking a break and I'm not even going to watch the next season! Somebody let me know when Moffat gets a story editor that points out when his stories just make no sense.
