I don't get it. When WW was watching Fires of Pompeii, I posted a pic of Karen in heavy makeup from that episode… he replies "Amy Pond!". Now he doesn't know who she is? Bit weird….

Heh. I used TinEye on that pic you showed before. I didn't make the connection between that grown woman in heavy make-up and little Amelia. I told you to stop trying to show me the future...I didn't want to spoil myself.

But, now I know that Amy is going to be the companion.

EDIT: "Oh, and delete your internet history."

fair enough. Wasn't the future though, it was the episode you were watching at the time.

Oh, I know. You didn't post a name and my own curiosity got the best of me. But luckily, the name didn't really stick with me.

This Doctor doesn't really seem to be as into humans as the others.

"Oh, I'm never saying that again."

"Well that's rubbish. Who is that supposed to be?"

Great dialogue. Smith so far has excellent comic timing and a bit of an attitude.

Hm. So he only LOOKS like a priss.

"Basically.....run."

The bowtie selection was way more epic than I thought it'd be.

Fantastic design of the new TARDIS. The chemistry between these two is on the level of Rose/Eccleston in the first freakin' episode. The camera work is AMAZING. Such a little thing, but it makes a huge difference. The TARDIS scene was beautifully shot. Amy has stolen my heart.

"I am definitely a mad man with a box."

do_Ob I can't wait to see what comes next.

Oh, fux. Whoever told me the "coming attraction" after the episode was epic was wrong. It was not epic. It transcends epic.

It's goddamn amazing. What?

I saw my avatar! Weeping Angels return? WHOA!

Okay, well two things. 1) I have to go to bed and 2) I only have so many episodes left. I could watch these like I have been, or ration them out. One a day. If I do like I have been, I'll be done with Fnarg by next weekend. Which could suck...but then again, I have plenty of classic Who to catch up on. Like, all of it.

What to do, oh wise WhoGAF?

I'd advice you to ration it a little bit. Maybe finish it off by the weekend after next. There's years worth of classic who to catch up on. I've been watching the show for years and haven't seen everything yet. No need to rush.

Also: We're back to spoiler marking season five stuff at this point. We don't want to spoil WW or anyone else who might be catching up!!

This is entertaining.

I'll probably do that. But damn, this new cast is fantastic.

Somebody said earlier that it felt like a reboot. Was that intentional?

If it was me I would try to space them out, but probably end up watching them all in one day.

Although, if you are only going to put a day between episodes, then that will change much in the grand scheme of things (one or two weeks less to watch until Xmas episode)

Well, the new team went out and bought all new cameras. It's definitely meant to have a different look and feel. For a time, some were referring to it as series one but Moffat didn't really give a damn what it was called. I've heard him refer to it as Season 5, Season 31 and even Season Fnarg.

It's technically Series 5 now, according to the new box set picture, but it's certainly meant to have a fresh new feel. A new direction for the series and the character.

I can't quite put my finger on the feel of the new one yet. I will though. In any event, off to bed I go. Thanks everybody for watching with me and putting up with my verbal spaz attacks.

I love this show....:D

Gotta ration what you can, though with some thought. The second two-parter of the season leaves a bad taste in many mouths (except for the end, dear Lord the end...), so you may want to go right into the next episode after to help wash it out.

I'm not the only one who actually liked the Silurian episodes? Oh good. I've been seeing everyone casually badmouthing them around here, but I can't for the life of me understand why.

Man, S5 boxset can't come soon enough.

Anyone know where I can find the last part of that Unearthly Child episode though? The BBC seems to have nuked it off Youtube.

Two-parters should definitely be split over at least one night - and avoid the "Next Time" trail as well for the classic cliffhanger experience ;-)

Forget *that*, I'm curious as to whether *anyone* can resist following watching The Pandorica Opens with going straight into The Big Bang - if they're not forced into it by a cruel TV company insisting that a weekly show should show episodes on a weekly basis.

Rose, Torchwood S1E1 (Everything Changes) and an episode of Coupling (Moffat written comedy) are currently free on US iTunes, as well as some other BBCA shows.

Got about 20 minutes left of the 11th hour - and man, it's gonna be tough waiting for the box set. I'm really enjoying Matt Smith's Doctor.

Do you have BBC America? They might be re-running the latest series again.

Used to. About to move and was trying to convince my roommate to get that particular digital cable tier at the new place, but she's looking to keep it cheap, and I definitely need MLB Network, so looks that that tier will win out.

In truth, all I'd watch on BBCA would be that and Top Gear, and I'm taken care of there through *ahem* other means.

Is this your first time?

Watching Matt Smith? Yes.
