He so awkward and squirmy when he gets himself into those situations. It’s adorable and really adds to the feeling of youth in this incarnation. Makes for quite a number of depressing exchanges with River, but time will tell with that. Spoilers.
The Silence are creepy. Not nearly as creepy as the Weeping Angels, but they’re creepy. And the Doctor didn’t really deal with them, just killed a bunch of them and brainwashed the human race into systematically killing them off. Prognosis: They will be back, no doubt about it.
Richard Nixon was abused WAY too much in this episode. Oh hi there, I’m the President. Don’t mind me; just let this guy do what he’s going to do. Also, I’m going to walk out of this prison that’s been sealed for the past few days even though I wasn’t in it when it was closed. Pomp and circumstance and America. In England.
As expected, the episode does a wonderful job of confusing you in the beginning, making you feel better, scaring the crap out of you, making you rejoice with a solution, tricking you into thinking a happy moment is going to be sad and then leaving you with some crap-tastic mystery or whatnot that leaves you feeling crappy, wanting more or both. My emotions! They are not a roller coaster that exists for your pleasure!
Couple thoughts:
-Who’s in the astronaut life-support suit? Need to rewatch S6E1 for what the exchange with future Doctor. Is it Rory? They’re setting him up to have enough motivation. Is it the little girl? Somehow I don’t think she’d return to the suit after escaping it. Long-shot with no evidence at the moment, is it River? All that speculation she kills the Doctor and that’s why she’s in prison, etc.
-Who is the little girl? They suggest she’s Amy’s daughter, but they wouldn’t give the answer that easily, especially with the girl regenerating at the end of the episode. She must be related to the Doctor somehow. Time will tell if she’s a clone, Amy’s, River’s (she’d know already...spoilers?), or the TARDIS’s. And that last one is a legit concern.
-What’s up with Amy’s pregnancy? Obviously it’s not the Doctor’s or at least she would know. That leaves Rory, and he’s a cyborg or something like it now, so can he reproduce to begin with? And as for the TARDIS not being able to confirm or deny her pregnancy... do we have time travel baby on our hands like in Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife? Or just a normal/cyborg-human baby affected by time traveling in the womb?
Waiting sucks. I’ma go watch new series 4, since it’s due soon and I want my bloopers! Or I’ll get distracted wanting to make a Doctor Who timeline, of what place he’s been when throughout the entire series. Would give me something to pay attention to as I watch it from old series one.
