Then, Yorick Brown's long journey through an Earth populated only by women comes to its dramatic, unexpected conclusion.
Another epic trailer. Didn’t watch it until after recording, unfortunately. Still: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtdzGYissdA
Must watch.
Oh my God, Randy!! What the Hell?!?!
****SPOILER ALERT****
But did I just see River Song in a blond wig get sucked into space in that preview you linked? I’m about to cry!! Surely, they wouldn’t show something like that in a preview clip. But you can see it’s River Song as she blows a kiss just a few scenes earlier, then she gets sucked out of a space door. Say it ain’t so!!
I doubt that’s a major thing. We already know that she’s a major character. And if she’s already died once, how much worse can it really get? :)
Also, a look at the Tardis’ interior: http://io9.com/5504881/first-images-of-doctor-whos-new-tardis-interior-its-glam/gallery/
The new Tardis interior has managed to surpass all my expectations. I think it’s gorgeous. I’m also excited as it looks like we’ll have much more to the Tardis than the single “bridge” set. That always bugged me with the RTD era. The only other part of the Tardis we ever saw, was that spiraling closet in The Christmas Invasion, otherwise no one ever left the console room.
The new set is definitely an improvement, IMO.
While I really want to click on that link, I think I’ll wait to see it revealed on the show.
The cutaways for the harmonies in that “Blink” video crack me up. The song isn’t half bad either.
I have to admit, I thought the song was pretty good. Well strummed melody. My wife and I were cracking up. Funny kid.
Only one more week
I started thinking about how River Song came to be. Suddenly I thought, what is Amy Pond is the mother of River Song. Also, what if amy Amy dies and ask the Doctor to protect the child at the end of the season.
Also, after watching Gina Bellman’s work I think that she would a really good option if they are thinking on bringing the Rani back. Also, I wonder what would happen if we see a character with the last name Rain :P
Amy being the mother of River Song is a really great theory that I’d definitely never thought of before. Wow, did think of the Rani, but you’re right, Gina Bellman would be a great choice for that character. I kind of hope that happens actually…
As for your last question? I think the world would probably implode :)
Hey now, don’t be passing off derivatives of my theory as your own. I get 10% of all profits, should my theory, or any spin-off theory come true. :P
Awesome Ep as always ^_^ Good questions too!
It’s strange that you can’t view any of the I-Tunes reviews in the UK, i gave a check just now and your currently on 4 (all 5 Stars).
Whoop Whoop!
Thanks for the heads up!
One more day!
The excitement!! It’s unbearable!!
Great, and I’m working when it’s on. Boo
Oh… Oh… Oh!!!! So good, it made me feel so happy! What an opener!
It was Awesome! ^_^
Wow. So this is what geek nirvana feels like? I want more. A lot more…
Man, from the “Coming Soon” preview at the end of the episode, it looks like we will definitely be getting a lot more. :D
I enjoyed it, it could never of lived up to the hype id built it to be in my head, but I felt like it was a good intro for smith. It’s been my favourate new doctor episode.
Brilliant. I thought the first episode was utterly brilliant. Matt Smith is going to be an awesome Doctor if his first episode is any indication.
It wasnt on BBCA so I have to wait 2 more weeks that sucks .
