I've been out of town this weekend, so I haven't seen the newest, therefore NOT READING NOT READING NOT READING! ><

So, either a) we have some Doctamy hanky panky. b) Amy gets preggers with Doctor. c) Maybe the Doctor just regenerates this way? OR, is this possibly Jenny? Still, how is the whole Eleventh-Doctor-getting-killed-thing resolved? Or is this not yet clear? Quote:
I know!!! Her face just killed me!!!

So did the Silence destroy the Tardis in revenge? If so, how? If the Silence have spent all of time since 1969 fleeing an ever-expanding, unwittingly-genocidal human race, have they been forced to spread to other worlds? Did they use their post-hypnotically suggestive ways to put together that unlikely Pandorica-building alliance? Just why did they want to get hold of a spacesuit and (assuming it was their doing) strap a little girl in it while giving her the means to call for help? She seemed more significant to them than mere bait.
What did they mean by telling Amy that she will "bring the Silence?". As they had her in the same vessel that was in The Lodger, and that we were told then was a sort-of-TARDIS, presumably they can travel in time - which would explain why they claimed to have had her there for "many days". The woman at the orphanage looking through a non-existent hatch and pronouncing "she's only dreaming" - what was THAT about? As for the positive/negative pregnancy scan - I wonder if that means that Amy being pregnant is one of those turning points in time, one that hasn't been resolved yet? And a full-blown Timelord-style regeneration from the little girl to finish with! Not Jenny's "a little cough of energy and look I'm better" - a proper one. What makes speculation so difficult is that Moffat understands the blogiverse and fandom in general. He know how our minds work and that's helping him generate more questions than answers with every episode, damn him. As for the episode itself - loved it. The opening sequence was audacious in its misdirection, Canton was great, poor deranged Renfrew was great (the orphange sequence was straight out of Call of Cthulhu), the solution was fabulously inventive. As for dead Silence putrefaction - our minds edit out all information about them, remember - so I'm guessing that would include odours etc too!

Yes!!
Dr Who alert - I was watching a 1996 movie called "Jude" because I saw Christopher Eccleston was in it (it's fun to watch the Doctors in other roles), and after about 40 minutes, there's a scene in a pub, and guess who pops up to talk to him? David Tennant!

And Tennant was so Doctor Who there, too! So crazy-energy like!
Anyone see anyone else from the Whoniverse in movies/on tv? Anyone ever seen Rose? I think I've seen Catherine Tate once on some other program., but can't remember what it was. But seeing TWO doctors like that so totally unexpectedly was sure fun I rewatched some Torchwood t'other day - the one about Adam, the memory guy - kind of similar to the current memory aliens. That was an interesting concept, too.

i saw christopher eccleston in 28 days later, and was horrified that the doctor could be so evil. :P i've seen david tennant in quite a few shows/movies.. seeing him in casanova was hilarious and weird, in einstein and eddington he played eddington with andy serkis as einstein and did a really good job, he was the only one that made the quatermass experiment watchable, and i have the dvd but yet haven't seen him in hamlet. it's always weird to see them in other roles, but most of them are good enough actors that you forget about it after a while..

I thought so at first too, but didn't she mention that she met him as a young girl? Or am I mis-remembering? I *am* torn by the whole --it seems obvious-- and how neatly it fits. The astro- girl appears to kill him, and River is obvi in prison for something bad... and then there's the whole weird bit with the tardis glittery yellow stuff coming out of both the doctor and the girl. What the hell? My brain hurts.

I'm guessing the Catherine Tate Show, featuring (among others) the magnificent Nan Taylor.

Catherine Tate was in the Catherine Tate show? You get all the difficult ones, Gwai!
Peter Davison was also in A Very Peculiar Practice which was quite good, and The Last Detective, which I never watched. Rian, they filmed a lot of Jude here at Durham. I often cross the bridge where he had a scene with Kate Winslet. John Simms has just starred in Exile. Both he and it were marvellous. And you're right, Nerdanel, Life On Mars was just about the best thing ever.

I once saw a younger Catherine Tate in an Agatha Christie movie as a paranoid russian housemaid. Rubbish russian accent, was rather hilarious.

Martha is on the UK Law and Order. Not bad show, but they are rerunning many episodes from the original L&O (polished up for UK locale).
