Point, Jon.
I'm reminded of Chief O'Brien complaining about quantum mechanics. So confusing!
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Temporal mechanics? But yeah... very confusing!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Well, we know temporal mechanics gives Captain Janeway a headache, so how can we expect to do better?
And... anybody else fancying a nice crossover with Dr. Song and Capt. Janeway working together?

Art Crawl!!!
Watched the new Who with friends - which is always a pleasure. I really enjoyed it!
Evil cliffhanger!
Can't wait of next week.
And seasons 1-4 of Doctor Who are on sale at Amazon today - 61% off.
I decided to order Season 4 so I that I could rewatch Silence in the Library.

Yes, temporal mechanics, Jon. I blame allergies.

Loved the episode. I only hope they soon drop that stupid, stupid pre-credit narration by Amy. I know they are trying to get new US-ian viewers, but please.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh dear, what did they have? Did they have some weird thing after the teaser but before the credits??

Whoo fun! I loved the episode and got very tense at the end when I realized it was going to be a two-parter. Though the preview for next week seemed to spoil much of the creepiness of the last scene, IMO. (Are the previews different for US and UK viewers? I saw the UK version, which has Amy saying something to the girl in the spacesuit along the lines of, "I thought I shot you" or "I'm sorry I shot you." Sorry for the overcautious spoilerfonting, I'm just not sure if US viewers saw that bit.)
Because I am gullible, I seriously believed for a minute that they were going to kill off 11 and give us a whole new Doctor, but I liked the setup (loved the Doctor trying to figure out why everyone was so upset with him) and am curious to see where it goes. I think we're obviously meant to believe that Amy is pregnant (from the Doctor's comment about her weight as much as from her announcement), but don't yet know whether or not I believe it. Ooh, maybe the little girl is her daughter? I know there's a theory that River is one of Amy's descendants, which could be cool...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kate, I didn't see what you saw for the preview when watching on BBCA. But when I rewatched on iTunes, that had the bit you saw.

We had no idea! I fucking love Doctor Who cliffhangers. We were so totally caught up in the scene and then Amy swung around and shot the girl and then WHEEEEWWWOOOOOO and were like WHAT NO WHAT THE FUCK NO NO NO.
Kate, I didn't catch that bit in the UK preview, but I don't even know what to expect!
I love that the series 6 trailer appears to have used almost entirely scenes from the first two episodes. No idea what's in store for the rest of the season now!
