I utterly love Dr Who but I have completely lost touch of it and havn't had the courage to pick up amid all the confusing plotlines. I last stepped off when the Doctor gave his baby cot to that woman, River? How far behind am I, and what have I missed?

Was that the doctor goes to war episode with all his buddies etc helping him out? There was only a few more after that, pretty sure.

Love this show, I guess the 11th doctor will die this season? It would be surprising if he got more seasons than tennant given hes not as popular, but I guess that could happen. Happy to see amy/rory go, I kind of prefer the one companion a season style so they were getting a little tired for me. Cant wait!!

Man that girl was hot.

She's dead by the end of the episode. But she's also the next companion! Well they've done it with River Song before so I guess it's not ridiculous

I thought I was the only one who thought the new companion was unusually hot. And damn it I have to wait until 9pm est to see the episode.

I dont get it, how are the daleks even alive in this number? How is skaro able to be approached, shouldnt it be time locked just like gallifrey? Shouldnt all of this be impossible...?

Yes but this doesnt even make sense, it contradicts the canon. If the daleks arent time locked in the time war and effectively survived it, theres literally nothing stopping them rebuilding their entire species and conquering the galaxy. And if the doctor is suppose to be some sufficient force in stopping them then hes become a God and the Daleks become totally trivial. Apparently the way to win the time war was just to unleash the doctor on them and he'd of done it ez pz?

Last season I think it was? or the Season before new pure Daleks were created and they escaped and now have pretty much repopulated the Dalek race if that's what you are wondering.

It wasn't skaro either, Skaro is the main dalek planet, this was an asylum where they send all the insane Daleks or the overpowered ones they cannot control.

Oh, really? I guess I missed that episode. I know the dark planet was skaro, and I still dont understand how the Daleks went there if its time locked and all. At least the amount of Daleks makes sense to me now.

Pretty sure the only thing mentioned as being "time locked" was the time war. I don't think that means a planet itself can be locked, it's just that period of time. Gallifrey, as far as I know, was actually physically destroyed. In the previous episode at the end of Tennant's career as the Doctor a select group of timelords managed to be pulled from the time lock and they in turn brought Gallifrey through also (or at least they almost did). I may be wrong on all this, but I think that's how it works, the time war ended when the Doctor killed all (or what he thought to be all) of the Daleks alongside his own race. Makes sense in my eyes that means Gallifrey was destroyed at the end of the war.

Edit: You are right though, the planet that the woman was on at the start that was the 'trap' for the Doctor was on Skaro.

It doesnt make a lot of sense to me if the areas themselves arent time locked. Couldnt you then pop into eithers time period and change it? Wouldnt that create a paradox of sorts? The tenth doctor also insinuated a couple times that gallifrey was totally gone and he couldnt go there, but maybe he just refuses out of guilt.

My biggest gripe is that for the vast majority of this episode we saw nothing to suggest that the "residents" of the asylum where in anyway more unstable or dangerous than your typical run of the mill Batshit crazy Darlick. Then came the fantastic moment when a horror expetant doctor stumbled into intensive care, and discovers that the only thing ailing the most mentally damaged darlicks, is him. The idea that simply surviving the doctor would leave you irreversibly mad was pretty clever. But then came a moment that aspired to sheer moffat genius, something in the same vain of quality creativty as the act of flooding a single moment of life throughout all of desolate time and space in order to rekindle the universe. The final patient, the most insane darlik of all, that had to be buried into the core of an eternally sealed off planet...Is the one that thinks its human.

For a moment, I was left completely stunned. Thematically it just made perfect sense, what else could the darlicks fear so much as one of their own completely rejecting it's insidious identity in favour of a more apparently noble one?
That of human, the race that the devil himself has died time and time again for. But nope, turns out the the darlick asylum's most deeply guarded patient is in fact a human they converted because of her doctor surpassing genius...Twoards the end of the episode she looks at the audience/camera and asks them to remember her. Something that I just cant do because you "girl whose name I cant really remember" could have easily been someone,or rather something, far more memorable, as could have been the whole episode. The whole Darlicks forgetting the doctor bit was cool though ( the compendium of darlicks are far better suited at the repetition of the title question then that silly single fat blue head.)

Yeah it definitely would of been more interesting if it was just a crazy Dalek. I mean, given Donna nearly died just for having the doctors knowledge, how is it even possible a human could surpass the doctor in *anything*? I suppose you could argue that she was merely a genius that had her abilities augmented greatly through her transformation into a dalek. Either way, the episode was kind of a swing and a miss.

Wiping the collective Dalek memory of the Doctor and all related incidents is going to have some seriously screwy ramifications with the rest of the continuity :S

I also can't wait to see the new companion again, she is quite attractive!

she is, the daleks are a side story these days though, the silence is the "main antagonist" and the question that will be asked on the beach will possibly be the final episode of the series or of matt smiths dr.

Fixed that for you

Freema Agyeman was originally in the episode with the void sphere, where the Daleks and Cybermen invaded Earth and had the all out war. Later the actress returns as a companion and mentions her cousin dying there - I'm hoping the same kind of sleight-of-hand doesn't happen again, this character was pretty interesting and a lot more involved than Freema's first one (or even her second one...). I'm wondering if it really will be like River Song though, with the Doctor cropping up earlier in her life. Maybe he'll be the one to teach her everything she knows about hacking the Daleks, after learning from her later self? Although she did say it was her first mission into space...

Personally enjoyed the episode, especially seeing that the Daleks have rebuilt their empire to some extent and now the Doctor has been wiped from their memories, what does this mean in the canon? Interested to see how they will play with this. And the scene with the insane Daleks was pretty awesome, especially with the little ballerina at the back.
You live the life you choose.

The doctors aren't booted for lack of popularity...they move on, usually to prevent being typecast (though it's always too late for that). Matt Smith will be the doctor for as long as he wants to be.
