I think Amy Pond is fab. Ladies are we all a bit jealous as she gets to spend so much time with the doctor?

I know I am

[alirosie]

Yep Amy Pond is great - not a fawning simpering type (sorry - i'll stop moaning about Rose in a minute lol).

i think Amy's a great addition (though i do miss Martha).

[SoupDragon]

Not fawning but she spends a lot of tim pouting, posing and staring into the camera. A lot like this.

[SoupDragon]

Time. No idea who Tim is.

[alirosie]

awww that hamster is so CUTE!!!!

haha

good pic tho soup

[ShadeofViolet]

There are alot of assistants that have been worse than Amy! - Perri, Mel, Nyssa, Jo to name a few.

[ShadeofViolet]

I was thinking about it last night - maybe Amy isnt real either? - though it wouldnt explain how she would be in the next series.

[Miggsie]

Amy is a bit of a nothing to me. She also has terrible posture.

I prefer River and Rory!!!!

Rory for next companion!

[Davros]

Amelia is all over the Radio Times so I think she has something to do with it. And surely they will go back to Amy/Rory on the Welsh hill?
Sorry, Matt Smith OK as The Doctor, but not fanciable to me at all. It could be because I know about his other major role in Toy Story.......

[SoupDragon]

Why would they go back to Amy & Rory on the Welsh hillside? At the end of that episode wasn't it just Amy on the hill?

[stressed2007]

who was he in toy story?

[mummyofexcitedprincesses]

While we are waiting, what do you think were the best bits of this series?

We loved The Beast Below, the queen was cool and the star whale was such an amazing creature.

[SoupDragon]

i liked the Weeping Angels. I think they're my favourite monster.

DS2 (7) has decided that somehow the box is the tardis in disguise - he just came out with it. Don't know if this theory has already been mentioned - apologies if so.

So in effect, the Dr is now somehow back in the tardis. And it's the fake one that blows up or something.

[nymphadora]

Rewatched it yesterday as I'd missed the opening and it was nice to see Queen Liz again!

[Davros]

Matt Smith = Mr Potato Head
Does anyone remember YEARS ago when HG Wells was in it? He was called Herbert. That was my bil's nephew and I was hoping even then that he'd be the next companion, he wasn't. Ner ner ner ner ner, I have a tenuous connection to someone who was in DW once! Oh, and we also sat next to Christopher Ecclestone in a restaurant one lunchtime. DD hadn't noticed but did when he got up to pay his bill. I said we shouldn't say anything as he was relaxing and not working. When we left the windows were open and she southed "Doctor Who!" through the window at the top of her lungs

[JackieNo]

SusanShocksOn - do you know, when Amy went into the side bit, when the cyberman was chasing her, and then Rory's sword came through the door, when she leant against that door, I really thought, and said aloud at the time, that it was the Tardis door, and that there was a second Tardis in there. It looked as if it had the same panelling. Though that wasn't in the box itself, of course.

[Kaloki]

alirosie Amy and Martha are my favourites too. Much more likeable than Rose and far less irritating than Donna!

I'm really impatient for this weeks episode now.

[cornsilk5793]

I noticed something! ds1 is watching episode 1. When the doctor goes into Amy's house he is knocked out by the cricket bat. When he wakes up you hear the birds singing just like in the dreamlord episode. Also the doctor keeps going on about Amy's friend 'the good looking one.' I reckon that Emilia is with the good looking one on one time line and Amy is with Rory on the other.

[cornsilk5793]

also the tardis had already blown up on that day once at the end of the last series.

[cornsilk5793]

hence new tardis

[LilyBolero]

Ok, I reckon that the doctor goes back in time, having been let out by young Amelia, and tells her where to find the pandorica and how to open it, so she lets him out, he then beetles off to the weeping angels episode where he says to Amy 'remember what I told you when you were 7...'

things that may be important; Amy's house seems to have an extra floor - from the outside there are clearly only 2 floors - ground and 1st, but there are stairs going up from the 1st floor.

The doctor says to Amy in episode 1 "I am just a madman in a box - remember that, some day your life may depend on it" - the box presumably being the pandorica?

Fairytales - definitely a fairytale theme going on.

the duck pond....with no ducks!

[cornsilk5793]

oh yes - no ducks!
ds1 reckons the piece of tardis the doctor found in the crack is definitely from the old tardis

[cornsilk5793]

also that 'There's one thing you never put in a trap....me' speech might be significant.

[VoidofDiscovery]

Okay, you've probably all realised this already, but the penny just dropped this evening (with a very loud thud and doh!)

The date of Amy's wedding is this Saturday's date - 26.10.10, had previously thought of it as a random date in the year, but the whole series has literally been building up to Sat.

Obviously, doesn't help figure out what is happening, but those clever rascals.
