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

    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every accusation is after all a confession.

They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
