I think that was Gaiman crying for a two parter. Nice location, Warwick Davis, Matt Smith punching himself in the face... a lot, and a chess game with lots of cheating.
Yeah, a two parter would've been better. Was fun... but needed to stretch out the battle somewhat.
Also bets now:
Next weeks will be...
Disappointing - I

Anti climactic and disappointing is more likely, i would rather they ended the season on a cybermen 2 parter myself and saved this revelatory stuff for the anniversary special or next year since they've done sod all to build up to it which means it'll have little real impact once we find out her identity and who really cares who the doctor is anyway?

When Trenzalore was first mentioned I always thought it would look like a big, open grassy field like place with perhaps a planet in the background - that preview shows it to be a dark, stuffy claustrophobic place. Y u do this Moffat y? You ruined my imagination Do like the look of Mouthy Teeth White Rubber Glove For A Face Things, though. Yes, that is their official name

Not seen it yet, was it that bad?
I felt last weeks kind of needed a two parter so how badly did this one need one?
Before anyone asks I've basically been watching Star Trek movies from wrath of khan up to Star Trek 5. So I missed Doctor Who today; well yesterday going by the clock ^_^;;

Bad? No, not at all - some parts were excellent, and it did what it did well enough, it was just it felt like Gaiman could've made it a two parter. Chalk one up for agonising lack of potential on display. EDIT: Well looky what was accidentally released early... EDIT 2: ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND it's out there in darkened corners of da internetz. If people don't want anything spoiled it's advised to stay away from anything Who related until next week. Even twittering 'Doctor' brings up spoilers... and no, I don't mean a picture of River Song. Maxi's Media Blackout... now.

Dr Who is one of those shows where i dont really bother with spoilers since the episodes are usually worth the wait and theres rarely any overarcing plot to be ruined.

Aye, having finally watched Cyber time last night(having been away all weekend), it definitely should have been a two-parter, could easily have dropped one of the weaker filler eps from earlier in the season. And theories... oh yes, I have one or two Which may or may not have anything to do with fo.... no. Let's wait and see.

Im betting there's a whole bunch of people thinking its the Rani or his daughter since those are the usual theories about mysterious female companions and such....me i dont really care as long as it's not a poor episode.
Am i the only person who honestly doesnt care what the doctors name is? to me he's the doctor the name isnt important.

I just rewatched Doctor Who: The Movie from 1996 (I originally saw it when it first aired in said space year). Wha...? This, ladies and gentlemen, is why it was a VERY GOOD FACT why it is brilliant that America did not pick up the series back then. WHAT THE HELL!?! Talk about cocking up the series... The Master can... turn into a translucent snake?
The Master can... come back after his last life was used?
The Doctor's mother was... human?
What the hell was that place in the hospital with all the broken glass and mirrors everywhere?The whole thing stank. Add to that McCoy's most undignified and low-brow death. He was the Doctor I remembered most from watching the series as a child. He was my doctor Shame since McGann was an excellent Doctor.

Yeah though the set was'nt bad and the concept pics and ideas they had for the different aliens were pretty good if different(cybermen as scanger like tech addicts constantly lookign for the perfect upgrade to reach immortality and a few other interesting twists), thing is even if they had made a series and it failed we could have just written any cock ups off as timewar related paradoxical happenings

I still haven't seen it but I've heard its bad and not much else about it ^_^ So tomorrows episode....if I had to guess its.... *la le lu le lo*. Dam nanomachines But I did wonder last night if it was as simple as Valeyard or even Jack. But who knows....part from those that have seen it because of the c**k up with the pre-orders in America.
