I think Amy's pregnant with Dr. Who .... he gets reborn that way instead of regenerating.

No, wait, though - there was that pic with Amy with a baby among the other pictures of the girl ... maybe Amy was pregnant with Rory's kid, but the Tardis affected the baby, as she said?

Anyway, it seems pretty clear that the little girl is of Time Lord stock, because of the regeneration. But poor thing has been killed before, as she's familiar with regeneration!

Another burning question - who makes the suits for the aliens? and did they get a group discount?

And in the nitpicky category - what happens to the alien bodies when the Earthlings kill them? Are we constantly stepping over them and forgetting it? Or do they conveniently evaporate?

But seriously - pretty clever how the suggestion was used against the aliens and put on the moon walk video!

It is a very nice watch. I've always thought it was a loss that that sort of pocket watch has gone out of fashion.

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

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've seen john simm (the master) in several shows, of which life on mars is my favourite. great, great show, and simm is a very good actor.

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 usually enjoy seeing famous actors in other roles. The only Doctors I have seen in other roles were:

Tom Baker in
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974)
The Silver Chair (TV Series 1990)

Peter Davison in
The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (TV mini-series 1981)
All Creatures Great and Small (TV Series 1978–1990)

David Prowse (Darth Vader) was also in "The Hitch Hikers Guide"

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

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).

I think I would have figured that one out

Oh yeah - that was IT!!!!!! THAT'S where I saw her!! Yay! I would have never remembered that!!

Just saw the mermaid one - it just wasn't the greatest. Good start, good premise, but ... just not spot on. It was a writer that I didn't recognize, either, although I think the director was the same from last week. Anyway ... eh ...

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.
