DW 6x01 - The Impossible Astronaut

[caz963]

That was a great season opener - I just hope that part two lives up to expectations. The trailer certainly looked damn awesome.

I'm still feeling a bit :( after watching My Sarah-Jane afterwards, so I think I'm just going to go with a list.

• I sincerely hope there aren't lots more nude portraits of the Doctor hanging around the galaxy; well, certainly not of any pre-Eight! *g*
  
  
• How the hell did they get away with having a naked (well, by implication) man hiding under a woman's skirt at 6pm?! And the screamer line?! One of the things I've always liked about SM is his way with the double entendre ;-) The good lines came thick and fast in this one.
  
  
• The Doctor appears to have part-time companions now. WTF?
  
  
• Very appropriate use of Laurel and Hardy
  
  
• Loved the way it was Rory who suggested they use the boat for the pyre.
  
  
• "Get me... coffee, twelve Jammie Dodgers and a fez." Cue me and the kids howling with laughter!
  
  
• That scene between River and Rory was fab.
  
  
• "One day I'll look into his eyes and he won't know me... I think it'll kill me." Oh River - how prophetic.
  
  
• Amy's pregnant? I admit I suspected there might be something like that coming along, but not so soon. Mind you, pretty much nothing is as it seems, so who knows? River also felt sick after seeing the aliens, so I reckon it's the aliens messing with Amy's head or something along those lines.
  
  
• Sterling! After all the DW references in Leverage, I suppose it's only fitting :-)
  
  
• IT'S THE TARDIS FROM "THE LODGER"!!! asdfhjdkghldfgjkag!
  
  
• Time can be rewritten. *rolls eyes* Is this a drinking game now?
  
  
• Spooky aliens that you forget immediately you're not looking at them. Thinking about it, they're a bit like angels in reverse.
  
  
• You can't tell me there's not been some nookie in the TARDIS with River after that!
  

Matt Smith was excellent and Karen Gillan hasn't started to annoy me yet, which is a good sign.

We were watching TBB the other day and even Mr Caz, who doesn't normally comment much on such things said that she's got two expressions - wide eyed amazement and sulky pout. "Oh, look - she's even pouting when she's supposed to be unconscious." That's bitchy, comning from him!

I'm sure I'll have more to say at a later date - perhaps after I've seen it again and/or seen the second part of the story.

But Two is so hot!

I want to know why the Doctor isn't supposed to be told, because I really can't think of any reason but the obvious and there's no way that would happen.

Yeah, the Moff does back-quote a bit too much :S


You can't tell me there's not been some nookie in the TARDIS with River after that!

Do you think they've Done It already?

I'm not sure if The Thing Amy Has To Tell The Doctor is that she's preggers. I admit, that was the first thought through my mind when she announced she was feeling queasy, but then I thought it was a ploy to get out of the room to nose around a bit... and then River felt sick, too after she'd seen the aliens for the first time. Maybe the aliens are messing with her head?

Do you think they've Done It already?

Heh - we'll probably never know for sure. I mean, she must've had him by now, but I'm not sure whether he's got that far yet!

I assumed it was that because she told him but maybe it is something else. HMMMMMM. We know RIver isn't pregnant, so I think sick is just how you feel when they wipe your memory? Or when you try to remember?
