Future Earth might as well be a completely different planet with all the wibbly-wobbly.

No time for two parters when you only get half a season.

That actually would have been a neat twist, because nobody was expecting a two-parter and I don't think anybody would have called it if the cubes were somehow linked to the Angels next week.

Nope. This weekend is the last episode of the series, and it's also Amy and Rory's last episode. You'll have to wait until Christmas for the next one.
I like the idea that the cubes were a red herring, or perhaps even that they would be relevant later in the series.
Re: the title sequence changing: I don't see that it couldn't just be a visual thing. I mean, we were told that the title sequence would be different each week and that one of the changes would be the logo. I don't see that the changing colours/effects could just be more of that.

This would have been so fun, they could even throw a token "the president of the company is evil" scene at the end just for good measure if they really needed to, then leave it open for the future.
I wasn't too bothered by the insta-villain and rushed ending, but magically resurrecting everyone is always grating. Looking forward to the next episode, I hope I can stay as spoiler-free as possible.
No, it's still Series 7. Series 8 is likely to be later in the year and covering November.
No, it's still Season 7. I don't know where people are coming up with calling it Season 8.
EDIT: Bleh, beaten.

Yeah, next spring is 7b, if you like.
Although the scripts for next spring have 8 written on them, according to the DWM editor on Twitter.

Just rewatched The Waters of Mars. That was much more fucked up then I'd remembered, I'd forgotten 10 grappling with his ego.
They're promoing next Saturday's episode as a season finale as well. Not a midseason finale, but a season finale.

A "fall season finale", though, which is exactly right if we consider it the last episode of the autumn season.
You Americans and your seasons...
So it's like Breaking Bad where it's supposed to be a single season but they treat it like sort of not really two seasons.
It makes sense for hyping purposes to pretend it's two separate short seasons instead of a long pause while it's airing, but imo it's better if it's treated like a single one in the BD and DVD sets.

UK shows do have smaller "seasons".
I think these episodes and the one after xmas are all part of the same production block and they're all presumably going to get released on dvd together so it's a bit of a moot point I eitherway really.
edit- beaten by a boss on the dvd idea

MOFFAT. FOR GOD SAKE GO!!!!
Dinos on a Spaceship
Power of Three
How the fuck can a hack like Chris Chibnell be allowed to write two episodes let alone one. Fair enough, under the gay mafia of RTD, perhaps he had scandelous videos of Russell performing blowjobs in the back of the Fitzroy Tavern...but Moffat is a straight, married man with kids...he has NO REASON WHATSOVER for giving Chibnell one, let alone two episodes to write. The man who complained publicly on British TV about how crap the late 80's McCoy era writes two scripts bad enough to sit back to back with Delta and the Bannermen.
It's time for Who to rest now. Moffat's production is looking tired. Matt Smith has gone from endearing to plain fucking annoying in three seasons and The Ponds...oh god...please fucking die.

Welp, I think this thread just found its worst post. And it wasn't even by Kuwabara!
Dinosaurs and Power of 3 were both rather enjoyable episodes.
So not only have you outed yourself as a homophobe, you've also shown that you have bad taste.

Shit I am going to get one for my "niece" and my "nephew", and it is definitely going to go to them and not me at all.
Well i can see that you are indeed a great analyst of the Doctor Who series, seriously.
I said 'wow.' Haven't said that in a while.
Would it be too much to just turn the design ninety degrees, so you can get all the doors and everything on there? No? Just me?

Man, I knew all about the 'gay agenda', but I had no clue there was a whole mafia responsible for it! The more you know.
Yeah, The Waters of Mars is amazing. Easily one of my favorite episodes of all time. The last half hour in particular is just out of this world (especially the wonderfully subdued suicide scene).

I just wish we'd gotten a bit more time with that phase, a couple episodes or something. "The rules of time are mine!" was a great moment.

Yeah, I agree. I would have liked more of the dark Doctor in The End of Time, maybe having him only starting to come around near the end of the first episode. That was probably my biggest disappointment with it. I think that we might have gotten more of that with RTD's original planned finale.
Cute wedding cake, love how the Triceratops is taking a bite. :lol
I think that would be the case, with the clothes and charger it looks too deliberate. If so, Amy's "Could we leave it a while? Our friends will start noticing that we're ageing" comment gets a whole new context considering they're dropped back during a party they just left, haha.
The Technomancer

Some of us really like it, some of us really don't. I'm in the former camp myself.
It would appear so. And that's just awesome.
That was such a great moment, and I'm okay with how it all ended. The episode itself was pretty dark (save for that goddamn robot), but I didn't expect it to end with Adelaide killing herself. The news article changing just added to the impact of it, and the Doctor couldn't go back and change it again.
