"You, me, handcuffs... Must it ALWAYS end this way?" 😭😭😭
And it did. For her, in the Library, though River doesn't know it.
@@ABrecher That made me think: Did she used the handcuffs before with the Doctor? A future Doctor I mean...
@@cargo71
That’s the implication.
Soo good.😆
Katrina maintaining her composure and not giving any commentary while Paula talks about Amy throwing herself at the Doctor is life.
The day of her wedding, is... was also the original broadcast date...
ready to bareback her not finance 1 day before her wedding with the reason being that "tomorrow is a long time away"
are doctor who say this is who all "strong" women act?

11:00 haha don’t worry River. You, Doctor and handcuffs. It Definitely WILL end in that way 😭😭
(Silence in the library & Forest of the Dead)
Who doesn't love River Song?!?!?! I love her so much. Her story so much. all of it. Oh, gosh. There's so much coming. I can't wait to see Paula respond to this. Moffat is so good at telling these stories.
And I agree. I think the thing that I love about Smith is that he's able to handle the BIG GOOFY "LOOK AT ME, I'M BASICALLY A KID" humor that he pulls off so well, but also those real intimate moments, the love of Amy that is like a deep, loving older brother's love for a sister. Then also have those intense angry moments or magnificent speeches. Like, I love last week's episode there he goes "There's one thing you never ever put in a trap... ME!" It just gives me chills. I need to watch this season again. I just do.
I've never liked River, always thought she should have stayed a one off and not returned after the library two parter. For me she always bordered on Mary Sue territory (a phrase I don't like and do not use often). On the other hand I freely admit that part of my dislike of her comes from being a biased Rose fan.
SweenyTodd98 fair enough. Rose is possibly my least favorite companion. But I think that’s the beauty of stories like these. We can all come at it from a different perspective.
River Song will forever be my favourite Doctor Who character, period (Romana II and Missy are very close seconds, but River takes number one). I absolutely love Matt and Alex's chemistry too, my favourite episodes of DW are the episodes River is in, and especially the ones during Matt's run. I can't imagine anyone else playing River except for Alex!
What a coincidence, your name being Alex Song and all :) BTW, you have good taste in Doctor Who characters!
@@ftumschk Haha yeah that actually is intentionally related, at least in my 7th grade mind many years ago. Back when I was in middle school, a few friends of mine and myself made a set of triplets who were the daughters of River and the Doctor. My character's name was Alexianne Song, or Alex for short (She had a full timelord name too but I can't remember what it was. Alexianne was a shortened version of the full timelord name).
me too! she's been my favourite ever since i first saw her
I wish I remember Classic Who better. I haven’t seen it in a generation. River and Missy are definitely top tier characters.
Amy’s countdown is wonderfully dramatic. And rewatching this season has made me realize just how amazing the music is. Every single episode has music at least once (usually more) that compliments the scene SO WELL.
Love your reactions! Super excited for you to see some of my favorite Smith scenes.
Good luck, stay safe, and stay healthy!
I love the detail still of him wearing his coat when talking to Amy I noticed it when i was young and was confused but it’s just perfect!
Remember to watch the minisodes, they are really good during 11s run
What are the min epoisde called
I like to see them
@@deggsymarley they're so short there's probs a playlist on UA-cam
@@deggsymarley "Meanwhile in the tardis" The second one takes place right after this Episode
CANNOT WAIT for Vincent and the Doctor!! Paula's gonna cry, Katrina's gonna cry, I'm gonna cry, everyone's gonna cry 😭
Remember, the Doctor was both a father _and_ a grandfather at one point. Not to mention Queen Elizabeth the first.
Never assume anything with Time Lords.
and almost dad to rory and amy potential child, which ofc amy would say was rory's, she is not a woman would would ever admit she had cheated if she did
Another fun fact about the episode: they had to refilm the ending a couple times because Matt kept kissing her back!
When Amy was feeling around for the communicator, I started thinking about Velma and “my glasses! I can’t find my glasses!”...
I just noticed that she’s wearing an orange sweater. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence. Now, if the Doctor said ascots were cool, and River were wearing purple camouflage, that would be a different story.
Remember to watch the Little mini episode that comes inbetween the this and the next episode !! Its Really Important for the doctors motivations!!!!
Seconded
All in favour, say Aye.
@@MrDarkwing78 Aye...!!! (Two words: 'Space Gandalf'...)
AYE
Yay, the internet stayed stable so we got a reaction without video distortion! Now i have seen this and GOT multiple times but never put together the "Jorah turning to stone" connection. Great insight Katrina! Now all i need is a "grumpy snuggle" and i sleep comfortably
I completely agree with Paula on this. I had no problems with Amy wanting the Doctor in a sexual manner, but if the Doctor had responded in any way other than brushing her off, it would have been super weird. The Doctor has always been asexual in my mind, but I think a lot of that might be to do with the fact that we're watching him after he lost his family. Thinking you blew up your home world with your granddaughter still on it is liable to make you think things like sex don't really matter.
I know this is a really old comment, but Susan was left on Earth in series canon.
@@caitlin329
I’ve wondered about that. No Time Lords remained in the universe except the War Doctor who ended it and the Master, hidden in human form. So I’m guessing Susan may have been pulled into the Time War along with everyone else.
@@zemoxian Late ass reply here. But I believe it's mentioned in either a comic or Big Finish Audio that when the Time War broke out all Timelords were called and Susan went back willingly. Her fate is currently unknown and no-one has decided anything still.
There is an important thing to know about the Doctor. To him Amy is more like a member of his Family, he met her when she was a child. What does a Father do when his Daughter is worried about something? He lies to remove her fear or worry. That was why he said about the crack at the end.
"Everything's going to be fine."
I think with Amy at the end is a mix of things, not least she just went through something pretty terrifying and thought she might die, twice. Sieze the day and all that. I like 11's reaction to the very suggestion however, basically horrified at the idea - "But your Amy!" I would also highly recommend you react to the minisode between this episode and the next as it leads directly on as well as directly into the next episode and I think makes more sense of that last scene.
what's it called?
@@Gada101 ua-cam.com/video/UeJ4Ak2xCkw/v-deo.html
I think Amy is basically horny all the time. It’s pointed to a lot. It’s part of her character. You can’t have a fiery character without them being fiery in all aspects of their lives. Gillan’s an excellent actress.
@@Uatu-the-Watcher I dont think its just that, she certainly has a healthy drive, but there are other things at play in her personality but its way too early in the run to venture into speculation in that area as it would inevitably veer towards spoiler territory.
There's a real clash of tones in Series 5. There's the whimsical fairy tale of a girl and her imaginary friend, then there's Amy serious wanting to bang The Doctor. It all comes off a little odd and is especially weird at the end of this episode.
I found this channel a few days ago, actually probably about a week ago now. I watched your first few Matt Smith videos on this channel and it made me want to go check out the videos you did on the previous seasons on the Fan Theory channel. So now I'm all caught up and ready to watch this video (I have A LOT of time on my hands, because quarantine.)
Welcome!! We are glad to keep you company right now.
Omg thank you for making that Jora Association. It's surprisingly hard finding people who have seen both shows and who care enough to notice that stone affliction for him.
Watching Katrina cry at the secret in this episode right there with with ya
Rose didn't really react much at the time to David Tennant with Madame Pompadour so I didn't really notice much that Amy didn't seem jealous. She really doesn't have a relationship beyond friendship and infatuation with the Doctor anyways. Personally, I loved that Amy hit on the Doctor, and not only because she's incredibly sexy when doing it. It would be natural for her to wonder if she had simply settled for Rory, believing that she would never see the Doctor again. On top of that, she's just been through a scary, life-altering situation with the Doctor. This is going to be a great starting point for Rory's character arc, where he will go from castoff to hero.
How is Paula so quick with all these guesses? Almost always spot on! Props to you, Paula.
River can feel like she's always written to be SO COOL AND MYSTERIOUS every time she shows up. Even Jack has plenty of dark moments in his Who appearances, whereas River is more "I have secrets but super chill about it while knowing too much". The fact she's the only character who knows so much of the Doctor's future sort of taunts both him and the audience. Because of her limited availability she doesn't show up as much as the main cast, so there's no time to let her feel more "human" - unlike companions and even the Doctor. Not a problem with her personality or acting, just how she fits into the story.
You two have the best doctor who reactions.
i feel you really get into the groove of 11 after this 2 parter, along with the first episode. by the finale, he IS the doctor.
Okay, so Paula is starting to be won over, but her cat still seems pretty indifferent. 😅
Colin Baker (the Sixth Doctor) said "It's said of a cat that you never own it, and that it's never predictable. That's true of the Doctor."
Something I think you can say is, Stephen Moffat definitely writes female companions differently than Davies did.
That really big thing that happened in this episode that we'll look back and see later ... timey wimey :)
Two angels watching a Doctor Who episode with angels in it. Great stuff gals
The best thing about Alex Kingston's performance is she was told at the very beginning ("Silence in the Library") exactly who River Song is so she could put the proper nuance on the performances.
13:10 oh god yeah Rose would have been so jealous of River & sassy.
& Martha too probably would just be silent & sad.
My favourite is Hide. The amount of running around he has to do in that episode. Lol
My guess why this was the first episode was filmed first in this season with Karen Gillan and Matt Smith had to do with Alex Kingston (aka River Song).. Steven Moffat had to pre-book shooting dates around Alex Kingston's schedule. Alex Kingston is signed only to do individual episodes of Doctor Who, so if the writers want to get her in an episode there is a lot of phone calls to make arrangements to get her in studio for filming..
I love this 2 parter, and this season is one of my personal favourites. That said, I’m embarrassed to say I never even made the connection between the title of the episode and Jorah!
You know, I love the idea of one fan and one newb, but if I can make a suggestion, if you both want to watch something new for both of you while the quarantine is going, try Farscape. One of the most underrated sci-fi series of all time, but one of the greatest for it’s overlying story arch. If you want a reference, James Gunn said it was his major influence for Guardians of the Galaxy. It will make you cry, it will have you on the edge of your seats, and through it all, the “Crightonisms” will have you laughing out loud.
“Welcome to the Federation Starship S.S.Buttcrack!”
Paula, I have totally thought that those were Amy's motivations for her behavior at the end and you seem to be the only reactor who sees it that way.
I'm shocked to heat Katrina's note that Moffat said that Amy jumping him was a "cheap laugh". I honestly have trouble believing it - I could easily see those who didn't like it reading a little extra into his comments, which might've been more along the lines of "could've done more with it/done it better somehow" without being bad/cheap. It was kind of shocking and not-sure-I-feel-about-it at first to me too, but after seeing how things play out, I think it fits really well and is a really striking character moment for Amy. And it didn't PLAY as a cheap joke in the scene - just confusion and some things that need working out! Paula's take is very insightful, as it often is.
Yay!! Finally, someone reacting to this show that instantly gets what was going on with Amy at the end
I just hate and love the angels. My favorite villains of DW.
I love your guys reactions and I appreciate the current situation but I wish we could get more than one episode a week but thank you for all your hard work and getting us all through lockdown 😂😂😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Of all the places the post-episode conversation could have gone, I didn't think you would be discussing the various Doctor's sex lives lol. People didn't like River? What the hell??? She's great. Great reaction as always.
I’m just sitting and waiting for you two to experience series 6. It’s my favorite.
Ahh, the episode that got me into this show. Good times.
I love Alex Kingston SO MUCH.
When the Doctor Who Experience existed, it had a room of weeping angels. They'd flick the lights on and off.
Genuinely really scary
Did they move the statues when the lights were off? That would be beyond terrifying!
Diseases turning people to stone is pretty common in sci-fi and fantasy.
In the 2nd Season of the New Who episode New Earth (Tennant, Rose, hospital, cat nurses) the Baron of New York (yes, I am leaving out all of the extra New) had a "turn to stone" disease.
The Doctor not doing it? Come on, Paula! Ten, in The Girl in the Fireplace, appearing in the ship with the clockwork men, with the tie in the head? Or maybe was just my head...
Just subscribed. Love watching new folks watch this series.
I love, love, love River. Just sayin’
This is for Katrina...

Okay, are you aware that there is a photo on Amy's wall (In that last scene it is visible, and visible again in another scene down the road, of Rose? Popular theory is that Amy and Rose were friends... Not sure myself, but I have seen the photo. Though, it could just be Moffat being Moffat...
Foreshadowing 101
Amy: "What happens if the gravity fails?"
Doctor: "I've thought about that."
Amy: "And?"
Doctor: "And we'll all plunge to our deaths. See? I've thought about it."
Pretty solid conclusion to this two-parter if I'm honest. It's not as good as the first part, mostly on the basis of two things. Firstly, seeing the Angels move was a bad idea. It's a well directed scene and very tense, but seeing them move does undercut their menace a bit. Secondly, the final scene between Amy and the Doctor feels wrong. I get the reason that scene was included, specifically for the reasons Paula suggested, but it feels wrong to play this scene for comedy (also for bonus heartwarming, a script editor took Moffat to task for writing this scene, and he would later give her a promotion specifically because of that).
Other than those two things, this is a great episode. It's scary, funny, action packed and emotional in all the right measures. Matt Smith's portrayal of the Doctor being under immense amounts of stress was fantastic, and the small tender moments he shares with River and Amy were wonderful, as was his final scene with Father Octavian. On that note, I think it's fair to say that Iain Glen is definitely one of the best guest performances on the show, he makes the character feel kind, authoritative and incredibly useful during a crisis. The way the series long arc of the crack was worked into the narrative was brilliant, and helps build up the anticipation for the rest of the series
i still cant understand how any one can have reservations about matt smith at this point. For me the scene at the end of the eleventh hour, basically ................. run, had me sold on him instantly. Then again i only started watching doctor who tail end of season 4 so i guess hes my doctor and im biased. Hopefully paula grows to love him because hes goes from strength to strength from now.
Yo, the Angels in the muzzle flashes.
Yo.
I liked Paula's self-censoring with the Doctor's sex life. "The Doctor... ...did it."
Clearly the first doctor was such a stud that he didn't feel the need to do it any more in subsequent regenerations.
Coming back to this one, the more important point isn't that Amy doesn't seem jealous of River but that River isn't jealous of Amy. Then again, maybe it's because River blows Amy out of air airlock, or ................ who knows .... Wink.
Sometimes I try to hold off to watch an episode but then I realize this can be blocked any moment. I rush right over after said realization
That question about if the Doctor has ever had sex was once brought up to David Tennant (a full-on "Doctor Who" fan anyway) as he was hosting a game show back in 2009 (the expression on his face when he gets asked a follow-up question is hilarious [I mean, he was the son of a prominent Church-of-Scotland bishop]):
ua-cam.com/video/Q-Bpot4BZsA/v-deo.html
this was an amazing episode, the only issue i had with it was the fact that the angles, didnt know if amy was looking at her or not?! they are quantum locked! at besed they would have been so scared of the crack theat they would have ignored her
Btw River and Tennant had more offscreen adventures before he turned into Smith in big finish and the books. When she went to the library she met 10 just before the end of time or waters of Mars ep tried to get him into a hot tub in the tardis and then left him a note about how she got a job in the expedition into the library and how she would call him if it gets interesting
This is the most important episode of this season, maybe ever. At least a dozen things from it show back up, later in the season, and thru out Matt Smith run.
OH HOW I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSS 🌊🌊🌊🌊 loved the reaction you guys ❤
Possibly my most stressful days work ever
Well, ok third or fourth actually... After HMS Valiant, Srebrenica and Sarajevo
I didn't like Amy's thing at the end at first. But then I realized that to her, the doctor is kinda like her imaginary friend becomes real once every few years.
It's basically a continuation of the threads From The Girl in the Fireplace, but I can better picture and understand if the Doctor and Madamme de Pompadour ended in bed together. That felt much more...real?
Dang. Your talking about Game of Thrones makes me want to see a Gallifrey Gals Go Westeros now
Sounds like Paula's view on Amy was spot on. 😀
The end scene was filmed around the same time as The Eleventh Hour. Months after the rest of the episode.
Future doctor talking to Amy😮
just subbed :) i liked your reaction i will watch all the others hehe. also this is just what i thought about the doctor and amy's relationship out of all his companions she was the one that felt most like family they were pretty much best friends, yeah the other companions also were friends but amy isn't like most yeah this scene she's in makes her look hot blooded for the doctor but she only had this moment unlike other companions we're they are all like oh i love him and they want something romantic but that's just me.
She has no idea! Can't wait!
If you think the idea of the Doctor having sex is weird, then you might want to stay away from episode 6 of Secret Life of a Call Girl. The Doctor goes home with Rose. (Or at least Matt Smith's character goes home with Billie Piper's.)
I'm not going to say anything or spoil anything but I really wish Paula had noticed certain something in this episode
Most people don't though. I'm rubbish at seeing things like that 😀
I just thought it was a continuity error and then later was like!!! Woah!!!
If its the moment I was thinking of... I noticed it the first time around but obviously didn't know why.... but now shes seen its... You talking about "The Chat" where the Doctor has his jacket back? :)
So the doctor defeats the Angel with the trick River used last episode. Watching the episodes full length I didnt notice. Cool.
Any chance of us getting Torchwood reactions?
River and the Doctor..........it always ends in handcuffs, River here and the Doctor in the Library
Knowing something that's revealed in later episodes makes the scene where Amy kisses him and tries to do things with him REALLY weird to watch 😂😂
Oh come now, that's a very popular genre on certain websites.
Amy wanting to bang the Doctor at the end I was like 'uh okay' not really knowing what to think about it once it first aired but it's really bad and gets worse the more you think about it. Nevermind the fact Amy cheats on Rory the night before their wedding and tries to go further, but it's also sexual assault and played for laughs. Look, I get Amy's feelings about being terrified and seconds away from dying before the Doctor saves the day, not to mention she's known him since she was a kid, this handsome, funny, strange, impossible hero and after all that adrenaline and relief at being alive, she decides she wants the Doctor. And we can debate on the complexities of that and Amy as a character til the cows come home.
But there's no excuse for the sexual assault. The Doctor, repeatedly, pushes Amy away and tells her to stop and clearly doesn't reciprocate Amy's advances. Yet that doesn't stop her and she persists and that's a problem. Yet it's supposed to be funny, why? Because the Doctor is being awkward, or cause he's flustered and doesn't know how to react? Is it cause a gorgeous woman is throwing herself at him and yet he doesn't want her that way?
Whatever the reason, it's a problem and another one of the countless scenes/moments in movies/tv showing how sexual assault on men is funny or not that serious. And to do the classic but very damning thing of saying 'Imagine if the roles were reversed', yea, the Doctor being the one to persistantly kiss and try to have sex with Amy who is unwilling and uncomfortable. It's rather disgusting. I am at least glad Moffat admitted he regreted that scene later on and would have done it differently, but it's still sad it got through the writing, filming and production with nobody raising this concern (at least none we know off).
I think the supposed humor hinges on the power differential. Physically larger/stronger, man, older, Time Lord (!) all play into it on various levels.
I'm with you on the Not Okayness of it, but that's my interpretation of the intention.
This of course means that the humor in women physically and/or sexually assaulting men - which has been a trope for millenia - very much depends on the backdrop of a patriarchal society in which women are considered weak(er), less(er).
Role reversals and blatant exceptions to a rule are important comedy ingredients.... And say a lot about the roles and rules they are a reference to.
Wibly wobly timey wimey stuff hmm cant still figuire out how to get it out of my head its TOO GOD DAMN FUNNY
Amy kissing the Doctor like that at the end of the episode becomes even more uncomfortable after a revelation from a certain episode from series 6.
I loved the writing during series 5 but I was having a hard time adjusting to a new Doctor and new companion. It took me a good while to like Amy and it wasn't until the very last episode of series 5 that Matt Smith became the Doctor, in my eyes at least. Rory was the only one I liked for the longest time. Happy to say that I grew to love both 11 and Amy.
For me it was the shift in production value. I had gotten so used to the low budget practical effect driven show of 9/10 that all the bright cgi, was off putting. Same how I felt with the first couple of seasons of Black Mirror. When they got big money and hired big Hollywood stars, it lost its appeal.
River Song (Ph.D.!) is one of the best characters in the franchise. And such a complex role!
I think this is a very good episode with just a few things holding it back. Bringing the crack into this story is good for advancing the larger, overarching story arc, but it marginalises the Weeping Angels as villains imo. Perhaps another villain would've been more suitable for this story? The resolution to the story is also a little weak because the Doctor didn't need to be there. The Angels would've kept draining the power and fell into the crack no matter what. I also think it was a mistake to show the Angels moving too. It didn't make sense that they were still stone while moving either. I also really dislike the scene between Amy and the Doctor at the end. It's safe to say that scenes like that didn't endear me to Amy that much early on.... However the rest of the story is spot on. The setting is fantastic, the character interactions are great and Matt Smith is particularly on fine form. The pace and tension are constantly being amped up. Amy being forced to keep her eyes shut is a brilliant idea! I also really like how Moffat is dropping in clues to advance the larger plot of the series and how he fairly seamlessly ties all of that in with this story. It's especially enjoyable to watch in retrospect because I know where all of that stuff leads. No spoilers though....
Agreed on the angels moving. One thing I don't like is that they move slowly here, and their first appearance stressed that once they're free to move, they're FAST. That's the whole point of "don't blink"; they can cross the room and get you in the split-second your eyelids close. The second thing is that they still look just like stone, the same as when they're statues. They way they were explained before is that they're not stone, they just turn into it while they're being observed.
@@Dasharr I understand why some dislike seeing the angel’s move, but I saw an explanation somewhere about why they look like stone when Amy was not looking. We (the camera) is the observer. They are moving between the very short flashes so they look slow. Your mileage may vary about the trade offs, but I do think it is a cool idea.
Never noticed his jacket on in that one scene👀the series man
@PaulaDeming Yeah, fact is the putting off of people towards a new Doctor in the first few episodes is very common. Though, canon-wise, it can be said that the Doctor is still kind of in transition to their new form, so there will be some off-putting behavior (If you think the way 11 was in those first two episodes was bad in terms of his behavior, the Sixth Doctor [and @KatrinaAlysha will back me up on this if she's also down with Classic Who] is so erratic with his behavior in his first episode that at one point he tries to strangle his lone companion).
She did say "you're very sweet doctor but I wasn't suggesting something long term", she really was just looking for a hook up
Amy is Scottish and totally in character.
she didn't notice
I honestly really didn't like what they did with the angels here. I didn't like that they went from sending people back in time to merely snapping their necks. I didn't like the whole "act like you can see" stuff. I liked how in Blink, the angels were said to be "quantum-locked" and that it was just a fact of their biology that they turn to stone whenever they are directly observed. Here, it made it sound like the turning to stone is a choice. I also didn't like that we saw what the angels actually look like and that they literally just look like living stone
I still HATE the fact that they made us see the Angels move. It takes so much away from the scary and mystique of them.
I hated Amy’s behavior at the end of this episode. gah! It was a long time till I could like her again. I don’t think she had romantic feelings for him, I think she’s running from her wedding and looking for a fling. The doctor in the classic series was very asexual. Even tens affection for rose was strong affection- but could he do romantic sexual love? I don’t think so. That would be too human and what rose could never understand was he was not human. Only the part human doctor could love Rose in that way. And ten wanted her to be with him but he knew he was a time lord and he could not love her that way. As far as Amy, the doctor always sees her as Amelia, the child.
Yeah I was like "woah woah woah, you're getting married. Chillll" eventually I loved her character again, but honestly her fiancee is one of my favorite companions.
I forgive it as it sets up one of the best episode openers in new who
i rly liked it xD
@@Dannydarko27 Love Rory
Matt Smith is my favorite Doctor, but I agree that it took a little time to really catch on. His personality is both unique and familiar. He has that "fun" personality that Tenant had, but he's a bit more all over the place and is a bit child-like early on. The reason I say that is because out of all of the Doctors I feel he is the one that shows the biggest growth from beginning to end. It's like watching a child grow up, but not losing that zest for life in the process. So yeah...I really enjoyed his version. But when it comes to things I disliked I really hated Amy's performance at the end. It just felt so out of nowhere. I feel that it was her trying to forget about her wedding while also being amped up on adrenaline from being on the verge of death constantly. It's like she had no idea what to do and had to take it out on someone and the Doctor happened to be in the way. I'm just glad they made the Doctor feel the way the majority of fans did and not really be into it. He is kind of a child after all (even though it's the Doctor at his, current, oldest age). Anyway, I still really liked this episode and the chemistry between Katrina and Paula is amazing. The fact that you can watch together from a distance and still make it feel as if you're in the same room together is fantastic.
That was a good one. Stay safe.
3:28 just wasting bullet if you against the weeping angels
The only thing I didn't like about this story was the fact that we saw the angels move as that diminished their uniqueness a bit from other villains. Besides that a great 2 parter.
Unfortunately Moffat overused the angels and bogged them down with too much inconsistent lore, to the point that the lost their scary nature.
There is the argument to be made that we don't see them move still. They are only stone when being watched, and they were still stone when they were "moving."
And a video isn't actually a video, it's a sideshow of images advancing really quickly. So they're actually just moving between frames. They are really fast when they are allowed to move, and they didn't move very fast at all. So we the audience actually saved Amy from dying by slowing them down just enough for the Doctor to teleport her.
I think it's so funny that Paula can see Nine having sex over the others. That scene where he's "dancing" with Rose, it's smoldering. They've had tensión before but that was the most amount of sexual tension I could imagine from the Doctor.
I think 11th sees his grand daughter Susan in Amy.
What is Matt Smith's best episode as the doctor and why?
I'm hoping y'all react to the minisode between this episode and the next.
katrina I know why you were crying when the doctor was talking to river in the forehead to forehead scene. Spoilers!
Technically Amy kissing the Doctor at the end of the episode like that would be considered S*xual assault.
But I have a feeling the show won't treat it that way in the next episode.
If 11 did that to her he’d be a rapist.
BLACK KITTEH!!! =D
I wonder if it is the doctor who writers saying that all women is willing to cheat IF they can get away with it, or it was just this amy character they wrote like this?
