The Official Doctor Who Series 5 Discussion Thread (SERIES FIN.)
http://joyhog.com/wp-content/uploads...r-who-logo.jpg Doctor Who Series 5 This is the discussion thread for the best sci-fi television programme of all time. Series 5 of Doctor Who, also known as Season 31 for clarity over Season 5, began its run on BBC One on 3rd April 2010 — almost 21 months after the last episode of the previous regular series. It was notable for being the debut series for Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, and for introducing new companion, Karen Gillan's Amy Pond. From a production standpoint, the series featured the largest number of staff changes since the BBC Wales version debuted in 2005. By far the most publicized was that of Steven Moffat's replacement of Russell T Davies as head writer, but whole departments within the production got new leadership, as well. Episode 1:The Eleventh Hour The Doctor, without time to recover from his recent regeneration, meets orphan girl and new companion Amy Pond. Together they have twenty minutes to save the world from the Atraxi, a group of galactic policemen. Episode 2:The Beast Below The Doctor takes Amy to the far future,andStarship UK.The British people,adrift among the stars on a giant spaceship,in search of a new home.But there are secrets here,in the rusting corridor and clanging hallways. A masked figure,who knows The Doctor of old,begs his help,while Amy encounters the terrifying Smilers, and uncovers a secret so dreadful,no one can remember it... Episode 3:Victory of the Daleks From the terrifying future of the United Kingdom to one of the darkest chapters of its past- World War 2. The Doctor and Amy find themselves in a top-secret cabinet war room deep beneath the London streets. And there,gliding among the nicotine walls and Bakelite telephones, the Daleks are hatching their deadliest scheme yet. Only one man can help the Doctor - but whose side is Winston Churchill on? Episode 4&5:The Time of Angels & Flesh and Stone A two-part story. A crashed spaceship,a shattered temple and a terrifying climb through the maze of the dead - River Song is back in the doctor's life,and she's brought more trouble than ever he can handle. The last of the Weeping Angels is loose in the ruins of Alfava Metraxis, and the Doctor is recruited to track it down. "Don't blink!" everyone tells Amy - but as Amy is about to discover, not blinking might just be the worst thing you can do.. Episode 6:Vampires In Venice In Venice, even danger is beautiful. The House of Calvierri has the whole city under its protection, but something is very wrong. There are blood-drained corpses in the street, something lurks in the canal, and the Calvierri girls are the loveliest in town, except when you glance in the mirror… Episode 7:Amy's Choice It's been five long years since Amy travelled in the Tardis with her mysterious Doctor – and when he shows up again, on the eve of the birth of her first child, danger is not far behind him. Amy is faced with a heartbreaking choice that will change her life forever. Episode 8&9:The Hungry Earth & Cold Blood In 2015, the most ambitious drilling project in history is under way. Dr Nasreen Chaudhry and her team have reached 21 kilometres into the Earth's crust – but something is stirring far below. Amy Pond discovers there's nowhere to run when you can't even trust the ground at your feet. Episode 10:Vincent and the Doctor Terror lurks in the cornfields of Provence, but only a sad and lonely painter can see it. Amy Pond finds herself shoulder to shoulder with Vincent van Gogh, in a battle with a deadly alien – saving the world has never been so ginger! But can even the Doctor save Vincent? Episode 11:The Lodger The Doctor faces his greatest challenge yet – a flat share! People are disappearing on Aickman Road, and the Doctor must solve the mystery of a staircase that people walk up – but never down. Episode 12&13:The Pandorica Opens & The Big Bang A message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe, a puzzle box opening from the inside and a love that lasts thousands of years…The fates are drawing close around the Tardis – is this the day the Doctor falls? |

I like the look of this series, it has a season 1 vibe to it
|
I don't know why, but it feels more like a movie to me. It definitely has a different vibe to it.
|
I'm glad no old characters will be returning, it feels like a new slate
|
The Eleventh Hour on now!
|
That was good. The creature's fangs were very creepy.
|

i loved it, it was brilliant! i love both the new doctor and amy.

Updated the second episode summary.
|
It was incredible. Matt portrays the Doctor very well and Karen Gillan was excellent as Amy Pond. I'm sure this will be a fantastic action-packed series and I can't wait for next week's episode.
|
I love dr who new and old and Matt Smith is excellent as the doctor and if he carry's on like this then by the third episode he will become my favourite doctor
|
|
The Beast Below looks amazing
|
That was an amazing episode, I'm already loving this series!
Did anybody notice the crack in the spaceship? |
I thought the episode was abit slow but good still.
|
I thought it was a great episode.
|
I thought it was a great episode. It was slightly emotional, when we found out about the Starwhale, and I really felt for it:blush:
Im intrigued to know what the crack is about but obviously thats later down the line. Looks to be a fantastic series already. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Looks like the Daleks are gonna be menacing again. Loving Matt and Karens performances. |

|
Whos looking forward to the Victory of the Daleks tonight then?
|

Looking forward to seeing how Daleks return this time; should be interesting! |
Love the rainbow coloured daleks!
And did anybody else hear the resurrection of the master race at one point. I am also can't wait to see what this continuous crack in the wall is about. |
Episode 4&5 description added.
|
over the rainbow on now! :)
|
I didn't think today's episode was as good as last week's :/
looking forward to see River back next week! |
I thought the Victory of the Daleks was just a starting point to where the Daleks are going in the future (obviously)
It was just setting them up for future episodes. The new race of Daleks. I thought the episode on the whole was OK. For some reason, Im losing Amy in my mind, I cant put my finger on it. My impression of her is falling away somehow. |
They need to give the daleks a rest for a series or two, I do hope that the crack in the wall doesn't have anything to do with the Daleks as I'm completely bored with them. Next week's looks amazing though, I love the Weeping Angels and River Song.
The released the trailer for the PC games as well, To say they're free it doesn't look to shabby. Shame about the Daleks but oh well. |
