I liked River and Donna. Both are and were very different to the usual companions.

I hate her too. I liked Donna though.

Amazing Episode. Roll on Christmas now.

Waiting for the Box Set now :P

K, so im the only one who found it really predictable and a load of ****?

Tom4784 03-10-2011 02:16 PM

I thought how he got out of it was predictable but I didn't guess the question at all.

Overall it was a strong series although I kinda think it suffered being the middle child in a trilogy. It kind of felt like they focused on setting up the next series rather then focusing on the story at hand. It was a good episode though.

Daniel R 03-10-2011 08:37 PM

I preferred last year's finale, but this was still good.

Marsh. 03-10-2011 08:41 PM

To say that series 5 and 6 have been very complex it was more of a wimper than a bang this year's finale.

It's a case of making a very simple, run of the mill, predictable storyline more complicated than it needed to be by making Alex Kingston pop up in the wrong order.

I hope they go back to actually telling stories next series, enough of this Doctor's wife, baby, looming death. It's been done enough already. No more River/Doctor flirting.

No way did the River Song arc need to be dragged out so long. To think we were first introduced to her in 2008.
Enough is enough.

What was the question again? :conf:

I feel terrible asking that. I'm supposed to be a fan. :joker:

Was it Doctor Who? or something to do with looking into his eyes?

This is my main problem with Steven Moffat's era. Great writer but he seems to always be setting things up with no pay off.

We all love a good cliffhanger and suspense but there comes a time when the story needs wrapping up.

Liked the series finale, felt it could have been better but I enjoyed it. Looking forward to the Christmas special now, will be odd not to have it on every Saturday night. Are Amy and Rory returning for the next series?

I think the question was simply Doctor who?

Tom4784 03-10-2011 08:53 PM

It's to do with his name I think, it'll be interesting to see how they get out of revealing it although it'd be a lot more interesting if they did.

Daniel R 03-10-2011 09:13 PM

I don't think they should ever reveal his name. It's not 'Doctor Who' if you know what he's called.

They're apparently in it, but just not as full-time companions, which is a shame.

Marsh. 03-10-2011 09:23 PM

Yeah, Karen Gillan said she'd be back for "some episodes". Which sounds like Martha in series 4. Just popping in every now and then whilst a new full-time companion takes over.

But it's looking likely we'll have another year of specials, and then the full series spread in 2013 for the 50th anniversary.

Glenn. 03-10-2011 09:27 PM

I wish they didn't muck around with the series formats. What's wrong with airing 13 episodes weekly?

This. In my opinion, the mid-series break didn't work. I just wanted to watch the rest of the series, not wait 2 months for the next episode.

Tom4784 04-10-2011 04:15 PM

Apparently they aren't splitting it, I remember reading it somewhere. I think Amy & Rory will be in the next series a lot more then we think. They're kind of important to the whole Silence arc so I couldn't imagine them just popping in for an episode or two a la Martha. I think we'll be getting River as a full time companion next series as they need to start developing their relationship really.

Doctor Who stars Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will be leaving the show during the next series, it has been confirmed.

The actors will be leaving their roles as The Doctor's companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams midway through the show's seventh run in 2012 in what was described as a "heartbreaking end".

Showrunner Steven Moffat confirmed at a press screening that Matt Smith's Time Lord will be joined by "a new friend" following their departure.

"The final days of the Ponds are coming during the next series," he said. "Then The Doctor will meet a new friend."

Moffat added that he believes River Song (Alex Kingston) will make a return appearance, though it is unknown if the character will be involved in the couple's exit storyline.

It has been confirmed on the official Doctor Who Twitter profile that more details will be revealed tomorrow (December 16).

Smith stated: "The show will miss the Ponds, brilliantly played by Karen and Arthur, but the great thing about Doctor Who is its ability to change."

Gillan and Darvill both made their Doctor Who debut as Amy and Rory in the first episode of the show's fifth series in 2010.

Gillan told Digital Spy in August that she expected to be a part of the sci-fi's seventh run.

Addressing Amy and Rory's potential departure last month, the actress said: "Death would be an option. I don't want Amy to pop up again every so often, because for me it would take away from the big, emotional goodbye. Once she's gone, she's gone. I want people to remember the Amy Pond era as a good one."

Moffat revealed in November that Doctor Who's seventh series will air next Autumn.
:sad:

Maia 15-12-2011 09:05 PM

Noooo! I love Amy too :sad: She's one of the best companions ever.

GypsyGoth 15-12-2011 09:12 PM

Daniel R 15-12-2011 09:14 PM

I'm really going to miss Rory. :(

Glenn. 15-12-2011 09:21 PM

I just hope when they do go, they don't make numerous returns like Rose :bored:
