In honour of Faery, lost in cyberspace battling the Verificators, truly evil robots guarding entry to OzPolitic world. Not even the sonic screwdriver can crack their coding. doh!
   Saturday the 30th April 7:30pm: The doc finally comes out and declares he is gay, Amy Pond is devastated, and a new colour of dalek comes on the scene. You heard it here first.
  Max.

EXTERMINATE!

But Amy Pond got married to hubby pond in the last episode... part 2 of the 'Pandorica' episode... so why should she care if he's gay?  8-)

Is faery STILL struggling? Those darn verificators, sure made a mess of the masterplan to infiltrate with psyborgs.

Captain Jack would be very happy if the Doc came out!  ;)

Woo-Hoo!  I finally made it [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] & sooo looking forward to the return of the Doctor tonight.
Big thanks to Max for starting this thread..... [smiley=dankk2.gif]

Not as good as I was hoping it would be... maybe after another viewing or two I'll think differently about it?
Amy is still giving me the irrates, River is still my idol and I'm still half/half in my feeling towards Matt Smith's take on the Doctor.

Looking forward to the story's conclusion next week.  Can I point out that the Doctor can't possibly die as Matt Smith considering River has already met him in the future and he's a completely different regeneration??  ::)

Oh yeah, and HI FAERY!  No ducks tonight, but I'm sure some will pop up somewher e ;)

Wow Katus, that's exactly what I would've said, Hi fairy, great to see you.  I used to lve Tom Baker but i think Ecclestone / piper were the dream team.

Congratulations Katus, I think, Newie to Junior isn't exactly an improvement. Post long and you'll become full :-)

I think River is The Doctor or at least a time lord of gallifray. She knows The Doctor's real name and has mastery over the Tardis. And did you notice that she and he have the same tardis book from which they compare notes of events happened or yet to happen? She also had an upgraded sonic screwdriver which she says the Doctor gave her.

Any one else have any theories.  

What ever the case... we'll find out in this series.

What if the TARDIS is made out of Timelords?  Hmmmm..?
Perhaps when they reach their final regeneration they transform into a TARDIS so they can continue to travel through space and time... That's why there were so many TARDIS' (or is that TARDII?)?

So, is River the TARDIS or is the DOCTOR the TARDIS??   :o
And was his regeneration as the TARDIS the first time she met him, therefore she knows how to "press all his buttons"...

But we already know that it's not made from timelords... Also, TARDIS is an acronym so can't be TARDII.

And that's all I have to say on the matter for now... my nerdiness is making me sick.

Well that buggers that theory!  :-/ lol

Grrrrrrrr.... that bloody stupid Amy intro is really giving me the squirts!  I can't really explain why it bothers me so much, but it grates on me.   >:(

Hi Katus....I'm still waiting for those ducks :D

Hope you get over the "squirts" re Amy ;)  I have to admit that I've liked her right from the start when she appeared in her coppers uniform.....the cheeky girl 8-)

Oh & hi to Grey, I've finally landed :)

g'day fairy  :D

This looks a good place to brag about my modest brush with Dr Who fame. I had a friend whose dad used to build Daleks! He worked in the props department at the BBC. :)

Daleks built in the BBC props, dept ha that's a good one.  

What is it with all this Amy Amy Amy stuff? The girl in Dr Who was always the trusty sidekick who screamed for the doctor to save her.
   I believe the producers are preparing the audience for a female doctor some time down the track, and Amy seems to be playing a role in that.
   Lets face it, the doctor is the last of his species and needs to spawn ASAP. I think he and Amy have done some horizontal folk dancing. I'd like to see a birthing scene like in 'Alien' where the critter bursts out of the guys stomach.

"What is it with all this Amy Amy Amy stuff?"

I'm trying to get be nice about DW & accept it for the silly piece of fun it's supposed to be. However, Ms Pond. I found it most offensive on the pirate show that they had her resorting to pantomime antics in the "storm" scene - no, no, no; I don't mean her alleged escapade with those  footballers. Rather, her hauling desperately on a line to raise a sail. But really, we saw a provocative cheap porn innuendo of the gal sliding her tightly gripped hands [ooer!] rapidly up & down [mmm...] an unbending, unmoving, firmly attached [oh baby!] piece of rope.

Jolly Roger indeed!

I think Moffat is the man who killed Dr. Who. I want more of a story than a string of joined up sound/vision bites.

Couldn't agree more.  That bloody crappy intro they've brought in this year truly gives me the runs, and I can't stand the character of Amy. I'm sure they're trying to play her up as someone very important, but I really couldn't care less.  Love Rory though, and River is the best!  Still haven't warmed up to Matt Smith, but I'll give him a bit more of a chance.

Can you really see a woman like River going for mATTY ? As Dr's go he'd play a good rent boy. Besides River's MINE I tell you :-)

I worked with a hot raven-haired, pale skinned Nurse called Gillian. Reckon she would make a superb Dr Who. The series has become so stale and dependent upon modern Special Effects - which is a laugh because BBC special effects have always been B-grade to C grade. I don't think Dr Who will gain popularity, sincere popularity like it did when it began, until the last Dr incarnation and lets face it ...the last episode will be against the Daleks.

Hoorah for last Saturday's episode!  'Twas fabo!  :)

I agree, 'The Dr's wife' was the best episode for a long time and goes a long way to renewing my faith. Really hit the emotion buttons.

River is a time lord/lady! I knew it. But I didn't know that she was Amy's daughter.

What I don't understand is why the doctor died at the beginning of the series and the reason for that was never resolved... or was it?

We'd all been speculating that River would be Amy's daughter on the ABC website - so I wasn't really surprised by that at all.  I wonder if there is more to her relationship with the Doctor than just being Amy's daughter.  I am kind of deflated now I know the River Song/Melody Pond mystery...  :-/

I've only watched it once, but I'm fairly sure they haven't resolved the Doctor's death yet.  Presumably that will be what the 2nd half of the season is about?

And that season won't start until latter this year.  :'(

Still abc iview is showing a previous series of Dr Who with the actor Christopher Eccleston... so my addiction will be somewhat satisfied.
