You'd have thought I was allowed an opinion. Like, I know why it happened - but I didn't like the idea of it getting a passing mention. Part of my post was just as I was so upset to see amy go (in fact I just watched this and was very teary ) but I definitely thought it needed a bit more explaining. Seems as if everyone thinks this 5 episode run has been the best ever - it has clearly not been.
You get the sense that Matt/Karen/Arthur get on so well together. Which probably in turn makes the show itself a bit better?
Just watched the Angels episode and thought it ended quite well. Will probably talk more about my thoughts regarding story at another time but one thing I'd like to talk about now are how the Angels were shot in this particular episode. More light, less suspense, more teeth and overall less scary. If I were to put my finger on it, the angels stopped doing the little things, the slight glances, the gradual changes of facial expression and started having moved drastically. I'd say the most effective angels in this episode were the smiler and the last one. The last one was a baller. Food for thought.
Agreed. I wasn't scared of the angels - at least not to the extent I was in Blink/Flesh and Stone/Time of Angels. Agree with your reasoning too. I think setting might have had a pretty big part to do with it but also the way they were put forward.
I will be very mad if Clara isn't of any relation to oswin oswald or the relation is like a cousin or some shit like they have to be the same person or some extension of that not like a gwen cooper/gwyneth kinda thing. Moffat's said she'll be like nothing we've ever seen so either he's pretty sure of her development or her whole role is like a mindfuck. Apparently she dies in the christmas special too so it'll be interesting to see how that works. but she'll never be as good as amy ever
If it's a direct descendant type deal then it's all good IMO; cousins or something would be dire though.
What would be the point though? you'd be better off just getting a lookalike or doing nothing at all. Like the gwen cooper one I could hack because well, they clearly didn't know she'd do torchwood - but this'd be ridiculous unless it's the same character imo you'd be better off getting cribb to play a descendent of mark bosnich than bosnich doing it for both - it's so stupid for the same actor to play two blood relations unless it's identical twins/intentional comedy.
AWTA nothing worse than spoilers. Been watching them late on iplayer so conversation in British Pub completely ruined the last episode for me.
I reckon if you come in the Doctor Who thread then you should expect spoilers. British Pub is a bit rough though.
Agreed. Black Guardian needs to come back. It's not really a spoiler, it's a theory that looks likely from set lists and stuff. There's heaps of bullshit that goes around from set lists and all too though so it's definitely not guaranteed.
I have them on my computer so I'd say they're downloadable somewhere. Only snippets on Youtube, I think.
This is probably the worst possible time for people to suggest those old series are still worth watching.
