[TV] Doctor Who - Page 12

I was surprised they were so fine with killing Dorium Maldovar (blueberry man). His role as a neutral character was good to connect a lot of the separate factions/arcs. He's also been protrayed as a cunning, intelligent character and well his death was less than that.

Also I'll be very unimpressed if they take this flesh thing any further, its kind of getting abit old =P

Cybermen? More like cybernoobs! The doctor calls in like 4 favors and all of a sudden he roflstomps all over them? They're not even in charge? They just seem to be randomly involved and most of them die just to show the doctor "means business" about getting amy back? Did the writer expect us to forget every storyline that involved the cybermen ever?

What's up with those favors he asked anyways? I was hoping for some kick-ass guest star action by people from previous seasons. I'm sure the doctor can call in more favors than I have fingers on my right hand, however counting his allies on the scene I guess I'm wrong. Also, even though I liked the nurse sautaron (Spelling?) all the other characters that came to help were not really mention worthy in my eyes. I think it was supposed to be a recognize-fest, however I caught myself going "who were those characters again?" most of the time.

I was expecting a ton more from this episode, I figured Song wasn't Amy's daughter because that'd be too obvious, so the ending was a bit of an anti-climax. Not to mention the cybermen were just a small part of the plan, when I expected them to be behind the whole operation. And the disappointing amount of people showing up after calling in the favors it just feels like the story doesn't make a lot of sense. I even watched the confidential episode to see if I perhaps missed something, or to see if they might explain a bit futher on the paths taken, but no luck.

We've already seen the spaceman kill the doctor. Way I see it River is born, raised as a weapon, kills the old doctor at a young age, then meets a slightly younger doctor who seduces her and takes her on a journey through time and space, she learns who she is and who she killed, more journeying while the doctor gets younger until the doctor finally meets her in the forest of the dead and she dies.

Was a bit disappointed they gave it away so easily and so early by showing the baby's name, which wouldn't have been so obvious if it hadn't been such a strong possibility at that point.
Still think it was awesome, just not at all surprising and kinda made it drag on a bit in the end.
