I enjoyed it, though it did have it's problems. How many times did they use the "Doctor who?" line in this single episode? Way too many if you ask me. I was also a bit disappointed about the "They're Americans!" gag, playing on the cliche that we are all violent and trigger happy. I also wish they could have found someone who actually looked and sounded remotely like Nixon, but I suppose that's easier said than done.

I wonder why Amy found it so terribly important to tell the doctor that

she is pregant

? Seemed like an odd time to bring it up. I hope it doesn't turn out to be

the old "she's carrying an alien baby" routine or something crazy like that. In any case I can't see her really having one for some time because carrying a baby around the universe in a Tardis just doesn't seem like something a person would do.

Also River said she is "quite the screamer". :woot:

Yeah, the news

of her pregnancy

seemed odd.

(Not too odd if it's his ;) )

I think she spilled the news because she remembered that she had to tell the Doctor something urgent, but couldn't exactly remember what it was, so she probably assumed that was it. Or she was going to tell him what happened at the beginning of the episode, but chickened out.

Some fancy fellows over at GallifreyBase spotted in the storyboard for the scene it has a major spoiler. I regret reading it, but I'll throw it out there for those interested.

The text in the box reads "The Doctor tilts his head, recognising himself"

Just thought I'd post this :/ Strange that they include the BBC logo in the Doctor Who logo now.. Seems out of place.

I noticed that too and I don't much like it; they also added a lens flare effect.

You can read about the change and see every logo from the show here.

There have been two theories running around in my head. Both would make sense, and both could explain why River couldn't shoot the astronaut at the beach.

1)

The Doctor [from another time] was in the spacesuit. Something about being unable to rewrite time. Less likely, in my mind.

2)

River is in the spacesuit, which follows along with the theory that someday she kills the Doctor and is the reason she was in Stormcage. Also explains why whouldn't couldn't kill the 'spaceman'. It sorta ties in with when the Doctor first met River in the Library... she was wearing a spacesuit then, too. But would that mean that girl in the spacesuit is also River, or are they two completely different entities? [Then again--that would raise MORE questions about River's past, and I wouldn't put it past Moffat to try that. :laugh: ]

My guess? She was told

to say what he should know and what he should never know

. That part was

what he should know, and what he should never know is the fact that he summoned himself. It's not that telling the Doctor that she was pregnant was an emergency, but she remembered the need to tell it when the girl in the spacesuit came around, because it was some projection of the aliens, and it caused her to remember her conversation with the aliens

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
