Or, you know, what River said when it happened.
Quite. Was there anything 'confusing' in the episode that wasn't explained by a character in plain English? Repeatedly, in some cases.

'Objects In Space'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Would like it to be linked to the ongoing mystery about the exploding TARDIS.
Well, the Doctor did say someone was behind that, and then there was all the "Silence will fall" talk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh, wow, that's surprising.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Any word on US ratings?

Oh dear, what did they have? Did they have some weird thing after the teaser but before the credits??
It's like the stupid thing they had on Castle for three frelling seasons that they've only recently dropped.

Last year, ratings were also down in the UK and up in the US, IIRC.

Hmm. It probably was non-newbie-friendly. Not sure that's necessarily a bad thing, but we'll have to see if numbers improve. DW tends to get a lot of plays on the iPlayer, which might help final numbers. (6.4 million still isn't at all bad, though. That would be considered excellent for most UK shows.)
