 In spoiler tags below+ Show Spoiler + I think perhaps the death of the eleventh doctor wasn't a true death of the doctor. I think perhaps since regeneration was stopped using an existing body (smiths body) the doctor's soul or whatever you would like to call it was transferred into Amy's body when she was crying over him in the first episode. I don't see them procreating any other way and this would help to explain both the daughter and pregnancy of amy as well as the fact that her apparent daughter is able to regenerate a la timelord. The stopping of using an existing body meant the doctor had to regenerate into a new body. This may be an interesting way to get a Woman doctor to take the place of a male doctor in our current gender equal day and age | ||

Anyway, massive Doctor Who-fanatic here. Last series had it ups and downs, where the downs was terrible, while the ups was absolutely fantastic. The overall storyarc and the execution of it made it perhaps the best series yet, since the reboot. Don't get me wrong, I love every single season of Doctor Who, but there's no denying RTD(former writer) botched alot of episodes. To put it lightly, I have extremely high expectations for series 6. The first episode was kind of hard to swallow, but the way it was tied together in yesterdays episode made me think my expectations might be met. The Silence has the potential to be the sickest thing this show has ever produced. Moffat knows his stuff. Yesterdays episode was just as suspenseful and scary as Blink (reboots best episode), especially the part in the orphanage. As for the cliffhanger I simply can't speculate, there's just to many options. Though, I really hope it has something to do with + Show Spoiler + Omega | ||

Anywho (see what I did there!?), I can't believe when talking about the most recent episode nobody brings up the strange woman who opened the slot in the nursery door. "She's still dreaming." WTF was that? It made no sense in the context of everything else we've seen in the first two episodes. It brings up the possibility of everything being linked to the "Dream Lord" episode in season 5, in which case, wooooooaaaaahhhh. There's some pretty big stuff at work here, but if anyone can bring it all together, it's Moffat. I love the more serious direction this season is taking, because we all know that the threat of the death of the Doctor is looming at the end. I can't wait to see more. | ||

I hated Billie Piper though, and didn't really like Eccleston. Seeing that video linked by CharlieMurphy made me feel angry. Series 2-4 are much better. I'm not gay, but I could forget that for a night with David Tennant. I prefer the Orbital version myself. Maybe that's because I saw it performed live and it was awesome | ||

Also despite the Protoss making a guest appearance the 1st and 2nd episodes are pretty awesome. So many questions being raised, especially with the end of episode 2. Awesome stuff. | ||

 Just something about faceless things in suits with the power to just show up out of nowhere and make you wet yourself that really gets to me. Which is why Im now sat here too scared to go downstairs to the bathroom whilst really needing a pee. Is thunder/lightning going on this evening, lots of rain and the everyone else is asleep which doesn't help the situation. + Show Spoiler + I'm 20 years old. My parents must be so very proud of me. | ||

There is also a fairly significant intentional gaps with which we are left to play on. I mean "The Silence" are effectively capable of generating huge gaps in both the characters memories that could go pretty far and there are pretty big gaps we just didn't see. Also doesn't quite explain why the Alien knows so much about her being pregnant in the first episode. I just find it cruel and brilliant how they show that the girl has something to do with the doctor... Since now we effectively know nothing of what she will look like... other than you might be able to cheat and look at who wrote the episode and look for young girls. Great episode... I just wonder how the HELL they manage to keep timelines relatively clean or making sense, River Song can make your mind twist a few ways. | ||

I hope Moffat doesn't go for that kind of solution with the little girl as it would be hard to swallow for many of the show's fans. | ||

Hopefully this isn't something you can't unsee, either way, it made it hard to take too seriously. Also despite the Protoss making a guest appearance the 1st and 2nd episodes are pretty awesome. So many questions being raised, especially with the end of episode 2. Awesome stuff. uh...no just you. I haven't seen anyone say this it isn't a spoiler it is just a different take on ''the silence'' but I'll spoiler it anyway + Show Spoiler + We've heard often enough ''the silence will fall'' but this could mean two things One, it could mean that the silence fall down from the sky and start to conquer everything which is what appears to be implied. Two it could also mean that the civilization of the silence will collapse and that causes all sorts of problems. I don't think that is very likely though as the fish queen of venice what's-her-face seems to be terrified when she says ''through some cracks we saw the silence'' which doesn't exactly make sense if the silence weren't bad | ||

In the first few episodes of season 5 when they talk about the silence it's actually about silence, it's not untill the later episodes that silence gets sort of a double meaning. | ||

Fear me, I've killed hundreds of time lords. Such awesomeness from Michael Sheen and Matt Smith. On May 15 2011 19:44 Lorken wrote: Has anyone seen the very last episode?
