Why or how would the Teselecta begin to start regeneration? I guess I can get everything else that happened but I dunno, if that was just a robot then how did it start doing that? I doubt they can manufacture such an energy force just like that
ehhhhhh still...long long way to the next season...
Remember how it faked the motorcycle in the Hitler episode? Im sure it could easily shoot some flashy lights out as well. It didn't have to be regenerating for real, just look like it.
Funnily enough, I actually enjoyed the filler episodes this season, especially The Girl Who Waited and The God Complex (and I've just noticed that both were directed by Nick Hurran.. no idea who he is but I hope he returns for the next season). The continuing story suffered from separating the season into two parts. The way everything turned out to be just fine was bad but it's typical for Doctor Who really - and it was still much better compared to what Russell Davies would have done with it. ^^

I believe that is the writing team's attempt at showing that the Dr. doesn't always succeed (then does, anyway).
I haven't been too impressed this season. Feels like a lot of filler episodes, almost as if the focus on the Dr. is taking away from everything else.
I agree with your last statement, it seems that each episode is 95% filler 5% actual relevance to the continuing story, i will still watch and i hope they dont let me down but im not really liking these fillers and 'dads love for child saves the day' which has happened twice in a short space of time now..
I like Smith, or maybe I like Smith because I prefer Amy to Donna and Rose, who started getting on my nerves.
I was very disappointed, the whole episode was a mess and had almost no relevance to the final 5 minutes where we find out hes been in the teselecta all this time. I half expected the Dr was a ganger or something, but i mean, they have 2 identity theifs in this series: (gangers and teselecta) so it was pretty obvious someone wasnt who they seemed to be, but this type of writing is awful and shouldnt be relied on, I was absollutely sick of the over-use of polyjuic potion in harry potter so this series left a bad taste in my mouth. It's just too easy to write stories with identity theft themes, and I just hope there won't be any more and we get some decent original scripts in future. I mean, its ok to leave clues in previous episodes, in series 3 there was an episode where the DR was in human form, and a pocket watch was his timelord form, and then a second watch was explosively revealed as the masters timelord form. This type of "changed identity" is ok, because its not an easy-fit disguise, and has some back story, but doppelgangers and intergalactic space cops in the teselecta? pleease......
However its not all bad news, "the doctors.wife" was the best episode i've ever seen alongside the "impossible planet/satan pit" from series 3. Matt smith is a great dr, he did some good acting this series, the impossible astronaut/day of the moon/a good man goes to war were also excellent. Also now that everyone thinks the Dr is dead, could lead to some interesting dynamics in the next series.

Anyone notice how the blue dude said "The silence will fall when the question is answered. More like the silence must fall." I reckon it might be important!
But really, I didn't like the series much at all. The idea of The Silence was cool and the episode with the hotel was good but most of the rest wasn't as good as they used to be. I miss David Tennant
I liked the all the season up till this one. I felt this one was lacking something. Where as every other season i would look forward to it and enjoy watching it start to finish this. In this one i got bored halfway through most episode and could guess what would happen.

Really disappointed
The one thing I hate about Amy is that almost every single episode was a story episode, there wasn't enough "going off to a planet just to have fun" episodes. There was so many episodes where the doctor just went off to have fun with the other companions and this latest season only has the story in every single one. (I haven't seen after the dolls one though)
Hey lads! I've recently started watching the old school Doctor Who. Since I had heard nothing but good things about Tom Baker I decided to start watching him.
The special effects are disastrous, however if that's not too much of a both to you, I would recommend to watch these episodes as well! Especially since they contain a lot of Doctor Who backstory. (For example, the story Im currently watching involves how the first Dalek was created)
If that caught your interest look up "Classic Doctor Who Robot episode 1 part 1" on youtube, the first 2 story arcs of the 4th doctor (which is Tom Baker) are on youtube (Like 8 episodes) after that you'd have to download. (Piratebay has a torrent on the 4th doctor, it's kind of low on seeders, but it's the best Ive found so far)
But again, only if you can stand special effects from the 70's!
this year's special was absolutely horrible... Didn't feel like something written by Moffat at all. And (almost) all of the acting was terrible as well. I think I'll watch last year's one again to wash out the bad taste.
Ive started watching this like 4 days ago. Im on season 2 episode ~4. So far Its been a mix of zombies,ghosts,random,and aliens. If you have time give it a try.
There have been a fair amount of good episodes from 5 and 6 but they never seem to have that "awesome" factor. Tennant had a lot of sick episodes like The Satan Pit, Blink, I quite like 42, Silence in the Library and just in general seemed to just be more badass episodes. I think the finale to season 6 was kind of a mess.
ehh...need more timey-wimey spacey episodes. Tennant always looked sick in an astronaut suit
anyhow, christmas special was fine i think. Nothing absolutely awesome, that's true, but still i rather watch this than a LOT of other things, so it's certainly still a good thing The space suit helmet backwards thingy was funny.
At the beginning, when there was no "karen gillan" on the opening screen i was like "*sadface* no amy" but at least she got a few minutes at the end, yay x)
