Hmm, very good episode. Way darker than I thought it was going to get, especially with River and Amy.

More questions than answers about "The Crack" and the things related to it aka Amy etc. I wonder if River will be in the series finale then? Obviously the Pendarek (or whatever) will open and River will show up like she said :D

And that was certainly a unique way to polish off that Weeping Angels episode no? Heh.

I just hope this new trend of making every series centre around the companion, I thought Rose was the most important person in the universe, no wait its Martha, no sorry its Donna... oh wait Amy has the whole of time and space centred around her.

haha the way she was trying to seduce him :rofl:

She's so hawt with her accent n thingies.

She will be mine now as well.

Loved this episode. Wondering about the end. About the Pandorica opening... The Cracks in Time.... Will the Dalek's return... This series just rocks!

I don't think Moffat is gonna fall back and use the Daleks as the cause/reason/whatever for the cracks and everything. I just don't get that vibe from his run so far.

Maybe Prisoner Zero is the cause!

My assumption as is many others is that the Crack = Bad Wolf

Bad Wolf as in Rose coming back yet again? Because Bad Wolf itself was because of Rose putting clues throughout time etc when she was infused with the power of Tardis.

Or Bad Wolf as in the end of the Universe as when Donna mentioned it in Turn Left?

More like Bad wolf as in, it will follow you throughout the series and they wont fully explain it till near the end of that current Doctors rain as The Doctor.

Yep, just like Torchwood and The Master's story arcs. :)

But the Master's storyline and the Badwolf thing weren't totally in your face about it the whole season - they were things you weren't really meant to notice until the end, when they told you o.O I think with how obvious this one is we should be hearing more about it before the finale for sure :p

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.

I like what you're thinking, but that scene was released as a sneak peak, I think the BBC wouldn't release that as a sneak peak if it was as important as what you just said.

:o

Nice! :D

haha, did anyone else get that his ID badge thing is showing William Hartnell? (first dr)

Nice! I never noticed! Is that something to do with the new TARDIS? 'Cos that's the first time we've seen the psychic paper this series?

i think i liked the episode. though it really feels like all this episode did was set the story arc into motion even though we're already almost half way. what i find interesting is that in the last episode river references an adventure in a marsh, if i remember correctly, and then in this episode she mentions the pandorica opening. which makes me wonder if the marsh story will be part of episode 12 & 13, or things are all wibbly wobbly timey wimey and the cracks have rewritten history the episode causing river to develop a memory of the pandorica, since she had to actually look up which doctor he was in the diary in the last episode, but then says they'll meet again.

as for amy's little episode at the end of the, um, episode... i can accept it only if i put on my dr. drew pinsky hat and say that the doctor's disappearance during her youth is a source of her relationship problems, and that running away, and then her throwing herself at the doctor are subconscious attempts to sabotage her engagement. then again, that maybe a bit too complicated for a kids' show.

In the bit where the Doctor is telling Amy she has to trust him then he walks away. He comes back and holds her hand and tells her to remember what he said when she was 7 - he's wearing his jacket which was previously taken by the Angels.

Given Moffat's attention to detail this is surprising and must be significant? Especially since we never hear anything again about what he said when she was seven. So is this another future Doctor? Realise someone has said this already but its gotta be important and can't just be a mistake given how much attention was clearly given to this episode.

Future Doctor?

While I would like to think that maybe something bigger is going on, he did say time can be changed, which is something as we learnt at the end of Tennants episodes is something that ends up correcting itself some how, but obviously there is a way around it now, and he realises it.

Maybe it is him from the future correcting the past where she in fact gets killed, and what he said when she was 7 is a clue to something.

Or it could just be a mistake and they were filming a different part and they needed to film this bit and he just forgot to remove his jacket, this is something that will either be addressed in a future episode, or will simply never be mentioned and ignored as a mistake, lol.

    • 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.
