I just watched this episode for the FIRST time.
It's one of the best episodes of the series. I want Mira Sorvino to come back next season. It's not like she's drowning in work, and she was fun to watch.

Well the island was healing people all that time from their face punches so it made sense.

Hey thanks,

@Automatic Jack and Oscar Leroy

They answered most of the mysteries. You just had to pay attention.

I think after the humility ringer they put Ben through in Season 6, I think he was happy to serve the island in any capacity. More than anything, he was looking for redemption.

Toby's takedown of the protesters was painfully…
idiotic.

The Silurian Episode, and the Space England/Space Whale eps both had themes and ideas integrated into their plots and character beats beyond the seemingly random collection of elements that brought us Daleks in Manhattan and the Sontaran episodes.

There was nothing as pointless as Daleks in Manhattan or Sontaran Strategem this year. Every episode had a reason for existing beyond their plots.

"Fezzes are cool." nearly made me fall out of my chair.

It's nice that they cut the pure schmaltz by having Amy rudely interrupt her father's toast and then climb over a table to bring the Doctor back. That little mislead as they left to rescue the Orient Express from a rogue Egyptian goddess…in space, by having the Doctor tell Amy, 'it's time to say goodbye.' absolutely…

I loved the Bill and Ted time travel. It's amazing that in a show that's been on for a hundred forty eight years, that they've never done anything like this. The paradoxes were all solved in the end though. The only way the Doctor could have got out of The Pandorica, was for him to get out of the Pandorica so he…

The Fez bit is a great example of how this season was much more funny than any season of Nu Who. Matt Smith is as much to blame as Steven Moffat.

Fezzes are cool.
It's a joke that took the whole season to reach the punch line. Did anyone else miss the next 30 seconds of dialog when Matt Smith said it?

We know that what put him over the edge was probably his vision of the destruction of the Tardis. He probably killed himself when he thought Amy and The Doctor were dead. He couldn't face a universe in which the people that gave him that gift were gone.

Oh, and the person that 'fixed' season 5 is basing her entire thesis on false assumptions. Because it's really slow at work (I a loser that works on Sunday nights), I fixed the themes of the Doctor Who Season 5 for her:

@Lovecraft Matt Smith has admitted to becoming a huge fan of his own show. Which is a violation of English modesty, so I believe it. He's definitely committed to the character.

@Safeforwork,

@Falconback, On this we agree. I've always hated the big, I'm invincible speeches. It reduced the tension. It's OK for the Doctor to outsmart Gods, but you've got to believe there's a chance he could fail.

I'm sorry that you are so wrong.
