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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I liked the episode, but I'm going to have to rewatch. Rory continues to be awesome. It is pretty cool to see the beginning of River, but I guess they can't really be done telling the story... assuming she is the astronaut, which I do.
Oh, I thought they did a great job of making the Doctor look really sick as he was dying, all pale and pasty. And Matt Smith was creeping me out a little with some of his movements - I mean, it was good but uncomfortable to watch, which made it good.
Loved the bit where Amy realizes why Rory never shows interest in girls. Heh.

Yeah. Thanks to their daughter.
Yeah. Thanks to their daughter.
Exactly! That and, "You named your daughter... after your daughter."
Anyone else find that animated AT&T Doctor Who thing annoying?
So, I'm slightly iffy on the latest Who, but I did realize a couple things:
First, the reason things concluded that way? was to
close off the possibility of regeneration energy shenanigans being the solution to the Doctor's death. We've seen it do crazy stuff before, and Moffat knew the fans would be bugging him about that.
Second, I'm now
less
sure about River/Melody being in the spacesuit at Lake Silencio. It doesn't seem to
fit her timeline now, with her working out the "kill the Doctor" compulsion Mara Jade-style. Unless the Silence capture her and put her back in the spacesuit after when we see her here.
What if the Silence and Mme. Kovarion knew
when and where and how the Doctor died, and tried to set it up so they were responsible?
I would also say, chris, that it was necessary to make the library episodes work, otherwise River would have been able to regenerate, rather than be trapped in the mainframe (Can I just say that, knowing her now, that seems like a fairly awful fate? The Doctor is really good at saving people in really horrible-for-them ways. Guilt, indeed.)
The person in the space suit was clearly a little girl, so it can't be after this in her timeline, since she can't regenerate again.
I think The Question will end up being important. Not sure how, yet. If The Answer After The Silence is 42, I believe that that will not, in fact, be awesome.
The person in the space suit was clearly a little girl
The person in the space suit in Florida was clearly a little girl (Melody). The person in the space suit at Lake Silencio, we never saw.
Also, if the
Doctor
couldn't survive by regenerating(which was explicitly stated), likely River couldn't either.
