I agree about the post-credits scene, I've seen a lot of people who are really down on it, probably because it doesn't tease anything to come, instead it's just an awesome, funny scene.

I'd agree with that, I also saw it in 2D and have no intention of seeing it again with an extra D. Although I do hope to see it again.
Perhaps I'm a little biased because I love Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and from the moment this film started with the same style opening narration I knew I was going to enjoy it.
It seems to…

I also second this motion. It would give me an excuse to re-watch all the episodes.
Completely unsubtle name-drop: I met Bharat Nalluri who directed the pilot episode of Life on Mars.
He was giving a talk at our Uni and tried to find a trailer for the series on youtube, in the end he gave up after only find one for the…

Yea, it's odd because it's supposed to be the same incarnation of the TARDIS but the hallways look very different. I guess it's big enough that the corridors look different on different flaws.
I hope that now they've built more of the TARDIS they'll continue to use it, I understanding saving the reveal until now but…

I thought it worked for the sake of the story but I don't think morally it was acceptable.
They're still tricking a human being into thinking he's a robot, not forcing him to fetch them food is a negligible improvement.
They're still horrible people in my mind.

Fair enough but that wasn't explained straight away in The Walking Dead, or at least if it was I missed it (I've only seen season 1) I assume in most classic zombie films it's not explained, they're just zombies it's what they do. If they played a more important role in the episode I'd be more annoyed but they're…

That two parter barely counts though, it's not one self-contained story split over two episodes. It's two stories that deal with the same arc.
I'm not saying it wasn't cool, but it's not a traditional "two-parter".

I disagree, it did mean something, it meant exactly what @avclub-4104f1a247846050e4611bd529abd841:disqus that secrets are preventing them from having a real relationship.
Now, we as the audience know that when the secrets finally come out in the main timeline they can…

Which brings up the question: Why don't we have more episodes set in the TARDIS?
If it really is infinite, like the Doctor says, he could spend just as much time with his companion exploring INSIDE his ship as he does exploring OUTSIDE.
Although I guess there would be less other characters and conflict inside.

You don't know how advanced Androids are in that future, maybe they're like Replicants "more human than human".
Also he lost all his memory so he wouldn't know what an Android was, except what they told him.

I think you're thinking too much into it.
What you're asking is basically "why do zombies attacking the living?" because their zombies!
Do you ask that question when you watch The Walking Dead or 28 Days Later (they're not technically "zombies" I know).
The correct question would "why did the sun turn Clara into an…

The biggest problem I had with the RTD series was everyone on earth finding out about aliens all the time and then conveniently forgetting, it started with "World War Three" and kept happening.
It just seemed unbelievable that the companions were surprised at seeing the Doctor and the TARDIS after all Earth had been…

I agree this episode had a little too much crammed in but I'm not sure it would quite flesh out a two-parter, unless we had more story before the TARDIS got salvaged.
I also really dislike two-parters with a reset button at the end, like the awful season 3 ender "Last of the Time Lords" (which was technically a…

Over the Easter break I re-watched some of my favorate episodes from the RTD era, although not as many as I wanted.
I was surprised on the whole, how bad the batting average of the show was back then.
I had a friend who was a massive Whovian who tried to get me into the series and I always watched it but most of the…

Interesting points.
Maybe I'm thinking too much into it but from a production standpoint I know you don't write anything unless it has a point. Making Clara wet (and I mean that in the most innocent, literal way possible) and giving her a towel was a deliberate choice and I don't think they would have bothered if all…

Yea I've noticed this.
After having re-watched some of the RTD episodes over Easter it's interesting to compare the two.
I think in terms of production vaules the show looks better; much better cinematography and CGI, plus it's actually shot in HD.
But the actual number of locations and characters has gone down…

I thought it turned out they weren't joking and the guy did it to become captain (which is a more realistic explanation) the Doctor just assumed they did it as a joke.
I also like that it's a reverse of the Alien / Alien Resurrection twist of a character thought to be human turning out to be an android.
I think I'm…

"these guys are EVIL scavengers and they pretended their brother was a
robot for a joke but now even though they don't remember anything
they're not going to make him cook for them shut up it makes sense and
is heartwarming"

I think the only reason Clara didn't burn up is because that timeline was aborted before ut happened.
If you look at it linearly, in that timeline, they would have to leave the engine room eventually at which point Clara would have got burnt up, but we go back to the original timeline before that happens.
But you can't…

What I find more interesting is, if the Doctor is so intent on keeping his name hidden, why would he have a book containing it just lying around in the library on his ship?
Also, if some else wrote the book then his name is more well known than we thought.
I suspect it was written by a timelord in Gallifreyan (and thus…
