I hope that doesn't mean that Amy is in some sort of Matrix-like dream state and that all the episodes of the season will turn out to be one wacky dream she's having while being held under sedation or something.<br /><br />That'd be very "Life on Mars" but it would kind of suck for Doctor Who.M.

Well, not as much as catching a glimpse of Jon Pertwee's Royal Navy tattoo in Spearhead From Space ;-)<br /><br />@Steve: I expect you're right about the Rory/River situation. I just hope piling mystery on top of mystery doesn't put off the casual viewer ;-(Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-35601288802635709682011-05-02T09:11:25.845+01:002011-05-02T09:11:25.845+01:00I've got a horrible feeling that the reason we...I've got a horrible feeling that the reason we got the big gap between the end of last week's show and the start of this is contained in Rory and River's baffling escape.<br /><br />They were clearly "got" by the Silence at the end of last week's episode but were running around free and well at the start of this. It seems unlikely that Moffat somehow forgot about what happened to Rory and River before he wrote this week's episode, so you can only assume that something vital happened in the wake of that scene, which he's choosing to keep from us in order to do a big reveal about it later in the series.

Wouldn't he have insisted on being with her? <br /><br />As for the bearded Doctor…I'd prefer to think he wasn't captured all that long before we saw him, and the beard was just something he adopted while carrying out the same intelligence gathering mission as the others were doing. It's more Doctor-like than having him just sit around while the others are on the run. But most of all, I don't want a Doctor who needs to shave in the TARDIS lavatory every morning. I can accept him inducing a beard to grow in order to look like he's trying to disguise himself sooner than I can accept a stubbly Doctor with five o'clock shadow. There's such a thing as humanizing the Time Lord too much…Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.com
