what I don't understand is..when the angels are stone statues...why not just break them with a hammer or something? I mean is that just too much simple logic.

"You can't kill stone"

That's what they say anyways in the episode, so, eh who knows.

Well firstly I don't think The Doctor carries a hammer around with him, but your also assuming that would work in the first place, we haven't seen anything to assume that they are that easy to kill.

The Doctor says "you can't kill stone" when referring to them, and one would assume this "Quantum Locking" that they use that makes them turn to "stone" when looked at would come with some protection against physical damage, and as seen in the latest episode one of the angels existed in a digital/holographic form as the recording contained its "image" which could mean that their stone bodies are just a physical form that isn't necessarily required.

But who knows, maybe it will be answered in the next episode, one of the soldiers did shoot at one of the statues.

Looking forward to tonight for sure!

But I just watched the first episode again and it seems strange that we've never had an episode set exclusively inside the Tardis?

We're always told how big it is inside and how 'advanced' it is so surely Moffat realises that we need to see more of it (especially with the stuff about a pool in the library).

It could be something as simple as Amy and The Doctor are under attack from some alien time thing which has infiltrated the Tardis and have to find a way to get rid of the alien who has infiltrated the control room. This would let the writers go crazy and show us more about the damn thing since its is merely a vehicle at the moment and needs to be developed!

What do you think?

So going back on people we have met who she might possibly be, I wouldn't be surprised if she is The Doctors cloned Daughter that we have yet to meet again, but that is just the first thing that comes to my mind when wondering who she might be, and would also explain a few things.

But who knows, I hope we get an answer soon. :D

But would your daughter call you darling and sweetheart? I'd be rather worried if mine called me anything other than dad! :p

Lol at Amy trying to get it on with The Doctor, I wouldn't have said no. :p

But yea, seems like they are trying to insinuate that she kills The Doctor, and they didn't really explain the whole crack in the wall thing, just added more questions as to why it not only is following them, but why it resolves around amy.

I'm enjoying this series more as the first season with Matt Smiths than I was with David Tennants first season.

Wow what an episode. Very very very good writing and solid acting from everyone. I love that Moffat is not afraid to actually give us information about his season arc's unlike RTD then that bit at the end with Amy. My only worry is she becomes a 'Donna' figure as the most important person in the universe. But I have faith in Moffat and his writing team.

I'll be honest; Matt Smith is much more likely the Doctor i've always wanted. I loved Tennant's take on it but that was for a different writing and Matt Smith is ideal for the more adult-darker themed stuff; and do not kid yourself with this projected 'dumbing down' or 'aimed more at kids' schtick. There are some very dark moments sofar this season and Matt Smith is a brilliant take on what Doctor Who should be and suits the story perfectly.

Oh and to chime in: I shouted NO! at the Amy/Doctor scene in her room at the end - we all saw it coming and it was excellently handled! Wonder what it means though...was that her being her? Or under some influence? I think it was her being a girl impressed by a man and not wanting to get married; nothing sinister about it. But the crack is definitely following her for some reason.

I think we see the Doctor from the future come to reassure Amy at one point, that or its a blooper as he disappears for a moment when he leaves Amy with her eyes shut and then he is back to give her that pep talk before leaving her with soldier's in the forest, but he has his jacket on that he lost earlier in the episode.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

      UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
