SO I DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS POST WENT. It was in the queue, it was supposed to go up at 7am, and NO SUCH THING HAPPENED. It’s not in my trashed posts or pending or a draft…just *POOF* gone. UGH.
Sorry for all those outside of the US who did not get to participate in some livebloggy goodness! For those of us in the States who still must wait for tonight’s episode of Doctor Who, please join in!
As usual, no spoilers until the episode has aired relative to you. Since some of you have seen it now, please DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT THE EPISODE so that others may liveblog and enjoy it!
THANKS. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
As a gift, the greatest Eleven GIF of all time:
creepy skeleton-thing. o_o;
"Alien bogies!"
EEEEWWWWWWW.
Ew!!!!! DX lol.
Alien bogeys.
Was I the only one who got really confused/hopeful when the doctor said there were 2 ships, hoping the other ship might have been the tardis? 🙁
I didn't think the other ship WAS the Tardis, but I figured the Tardis would be there. XD lol.
"Aw look."
"What is it?"
"Sneeze. Aline boogies."
Oh Doctor, never change.
why do they all have tracheotomies going? o_o;
Matt Smith's face when he hugs the TARDIS. I SHIP IT.
Half of my comments have been "HIS FACE". /o\
His face is very comment worthy. *nods*
It's a very nice face!
This whole plot is an excuse to get Rory's shirt off, isn't it? I approve.
Yes. Yes it is.
Why the CRAP would that idiot shoot her? -_-;
So much newness for the Doctor this episode!
TARDIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GLAD YOU'RE ALRIGHT.
ALSO: RORY I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE YOU AND AMY AND OMG PLEASE DON'T DIE AGAIN.
She's a doctor? WTF?
Haha, nice consent form. XD
OMG THE MONSTER WAS A DOCTOR.
AWESOME.
OMGs, RORY. "I trust you."
::wibbles::
WHERE IS MY RORY???
I know, right? :'<
Seriously! Rory has been shining this season so far, as far as I'm concerned. Loved his "I'm a NURSE" in both this episode and the last one.
Aw! Yes, Amy, it's time for you to rescue Rory. (High time! For the love of pete, he guarded you for 2000 years! A little CPR is the least you can do!)
Although I hate this: "I can teach you how to do it" "Oh it's okay you've seen it in films!" HOW IS THAT TEACHING??
She was totally his defender this whole episode. <3
Except CPR doesn't work that way. It only actually works maybe 5% of the time; it's only meant to keep your heart beating until actual help arrives. :/
Also: there's no medical stuff in the TARDIS? Really? REALLY?
There totally is medical stuff! In Utopia, Martha says "Hang on you've got that medical kit thing!" And fetches it to check on Jack.
SO YEAH. Why the hell is the doctor just standing there??? Shouldn't he be rummaging around for the defibrillator or something?
Considering the Time Lords apparently have ridiculous technology that can rewrite your entire biology, it makes no sense at all for them not to have any basic first aid or medical tech. The Doctor especially, since he's constantly running into trouble and his companions are notedly more fragile than he is.
Which leads me to my one big issue with the Christmas Carol: exactly why did the Doctor never, you know, find out what was wrong with the girl and time travel over to somewhere with a cure? Really? Could've solved all the angst just with that. :/
Because she had one day left to live? We don't know exactly what was wrong with her (cancer? TB?) but I really don't think that short of finding brand new human organs, he could have saved her. Even if he had managed to do that, organ transplants don't always take.
It was an awfully specific countdown to when she would die, though. Most diseases don't give you an exact number of days– cancer and TB both sound really really unlikely, especially since she seemed to be 100% healthy, just with a ticking countdown. She didn't look visibly sick or ill at all. And even if he couldn't cure her, it would have been nice for the Doctor to ask and at least try to save her.
I realize it wasn't really the point of the episode, but it did really bother me.
Maybe that was an ability of the machine? To measure the amount of lifeforce left in a body? I don't know. It honestly didn't bother me that much, sorry.
Didn't Abigail have some line to hand wave the fact that she didn't look/act deathly ill? I thought she said the time she spent "resting" in ice had helped, but not enough to keep her alive. I could be completely making that up though, I can't remember.
It is crap that the Doctor didn't even try to help her out, although I thought it was just part of Eleven's general obliviousness/tendency to get distracted, rather than him not caring.
Commercial break again? (or is everyone just too busy gazing at Rory's chest to comment?)
Nope, commercial break. Currently watching an Advair commercial. XD lol.
That was the problem with my liveblog notes last night. I forgot to comment on things because I was going "oh, shirtless Rory! YAY!"
Show's back on now. XD
RORY. Y SO AWESOME. NO LIKE YOU ARE REALLY INCREDIBLE. PLEASE BE REAL AND BE MY BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND.
ALSO, DOCTOR PLEASE ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT RORY AND AMY.
Aw, sadness.
Rory~ :<
STOP CRYING AND FRIGGIN SHOVE! BREAK THAT STERNUM IF YOU HAVE TO! D<
AMY! STOP-GIVING-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH DEAR GODS THANK YOU THEY HAD ME SCARED FOR A SECOND THERE. RORRRRYYYYYY!!!!
ROOOORRRRYYYYYYYYY
<3 <3 <3 <3
O hai! 🙂
😀 HI YOU.
God, I know. I honestly thought for a moment that they were actually going to kill him off and was preparing to blubber in front of my Doctor Who watching party. D:
Oh please. Really? Sheesh, she gave up WAY too soon and easily. And look, he's magically alright now. (Oh television.)
The whole CPR thing annoyed me TBH. I always thought CPR just kept people alive until the emergency services get there anyway.
And also, why couldn't she have done CPR on him in the hospital thing. Why did they have to take him into the tardis first? Doesn't that also waste valuable seconds? D: I don't know, it just seemed a bit lame. I'm going with the excuse-to-get-Rory-topless thing.
Seriously, lol. And that wasn't even remotely real CPR. (Not that it ever /is/, but still.)
THIS. As I said below, I knew it was 'fake tv cpr', BUT STILL.
Yes. This. Check out 'Clean Pretty Reliable' on TVTropes for all that is wrong with TV CPR.
TBH most of this episode made no real sense; I was not that impressed.
I had a similar reaction. I'm giving it some leeway, though, since this is a TV show with a very specific time limitation to work within.
My theory: the TARDIS saved him. She just went "Well, Amy, points for enthusiasm but your technique sucks and for some reason the Doctor is JUST SITTING THERE so I guess I'll have to step in *HUGE SIGH*."
I readily subscribe to your theory. It is the only thing that makes this make sense!
Fun CPR fact: Your chest compressions should be in a rhythm akin to "Stayin' Alive" or "Another One Bites the Dust"
"Another One Bites the Dust" XD How morbid.
We were taught to do it to Nellie the Elephant. Good rhythm. And she wasn't covering his nose in any way…I'm sure thats not good
There's no way enough air was getting into his lungs. And she should have kept her arms straight. I was mentally yelling at her "If Rory dies, it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"
My other thought was "But he's the DOCTOR. Surely he should know she's doing it wrong!"
PIRATES IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
Why don't they have those electric things on the ship somewhere to restart hearts with? How could they not be useful?
HOLD THE PHONE. Why are they all up and walking around? Did I miss something? I must have missed something.
I don't understand that either. Explain someone?
I think the ship had just put them in stasis. The ones with the cuts weren't really in danger. It looks like Toby is still hooked up to the machine which has just been made mobile? Idk.
I somehow got it into my head that they all had a fever, which is why they had to remain in stasis. I'm guessing that the crummy conditions on the ship meant that anyone who was cut got an infection.
You could be right. IHNI. Possibly the medbay of the ship was so desperate for patients that even a cut was enough to draw its attention- the possibility of infection was enough?
The doctor said that they couldnt allow the siren lose upon the world as she'd take anyone with a slight bruise or whatever, so strong was her need to fix people. The pirates with cuts just had cuts and so were fine to be unhooked from stasis. Rory caused an issue by having drowned a little bit.
THANK YOU!
RORY I AM TELLING YOU PLEASE DON'T DIE.
AND AMY, MY AWESOME SOUL SISTER I WANNA HUG YOU REALLY BAD. CAN I GIVE YOU (LOL fictional character) ALL THE HUGS?
PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP. SAVE RORY DOOOOOOO IT.
Yaaaaay, and now Mal and River pilot the Serenity off into….
Oh, wait, wrong show.
Rory in a bathrobe= win.
"I thought I was an excellent pirate."
"I thought you were an excellent nurse."
Oh, Doctor Who. Getting Crap pas the Radar indeed.
He only calls her Amelia when he's worried about her. 🙁 🙁 🙁 Oh, Amelia.
Next week looks so awesome. 😀 😀 😀
And GO TO BED POND. LOL LOL LOL LOL. DOOOO IT. DO TO BED PONDS. *wink wink*
Ok, I'm done. 😀
Wait, did Amy keep her maiden name or does the Doctor just call her Pond? Either way, yes.
He calls Rory something like "Mr. Pond" in the finale. Rory goes, "That's not how it works." The Doctor looks at him. Rory: "Yeaaah, it is." So I'm guessing Rory took Amy's name.
Yeah, Rory took on Amy's surname.
And frankly, could you EVER imagine her being called Amy Williams? That's a boring name! Now Amy and Rory Pond – that has a nice ring to it! 😉
I saw a Doctor Who magazine cover that said "Rory Pond" so I think Rory is just Mr. Pond. Which I love. Not that Williams is a bad name. I just doesn't sound as cool. And I've decided that a lot of the time when the Doctor says "___ ___ Pond" and both Rory and Amy are there (such as last night "Go to bed Pond") he's talking to both of them. Especially when he addresses Amy later (though calling her Amelia).
So, I've actually never live blogged a tv episode of anything so… Wow. Here goes. Oh I'm all excited!
Subtle musical hint: When the Doctor is looking at the scanner showing Amy's Schrödinger Pregnancy, the music is the Gallifrey theme (or however it's called – the piece that also plays in "The Sound of Drums" when Ten recounts how Master began). That must be a hint, right?
Ooh, nice catch!
Oooh. 😀 AWESOME.
Really? Huh. I'm usually pretty adept at music cues but didn't pick that up. (They did reuse Impossible Choice and Lonely Decision from last season's soundtrack)
I'm feeling like we don't have as much new music this season. (Aside from the vocals at the Doctor's Pyre)
Not to double post, but I can second that. Just checked myself. It was def the bass line of 'This is Gallifrey'. ooooh.
I do have to say I am not crazy about the whole "when I was a little girl…" opening for every episode. I think it makes it sound like the show is about Amy and not The Doctor. Although I do have a fierce love for Karen Gillian. Rowrrrr…
Yeah, I'm not too fond of that bit either. =/ What're they gunna do when the next companion inevitably comes along? lol. (Though hopefully no time soon!)
It's pretty much just because this is the first season where the show has become really popular in the US and they gave it a huge marketing push but the first episodes would have been kind of confusing for a first timer so they added the Amy intro. I'm in the UK so I don't have to deal with that but still, that's why.
Solid, enjoyable episode. Pumped for next week, though.
Though I was shouting in my head a bit 'CPR DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY', because Amy's form was off. (I recently got re-trained in CPR)
*high-fives* XD
it's TV: they NEVER do CPR correctly. There's a TV trope for that.
A green singing shark in an evening gown. LOL
Bigger on the inside…. don't mind if I just skip to the end, there.
I want a confused club tee-shirt.
Seriously.
Ok… What's up with the woman with the eyepatch?? Is she this season's crack in time?
Aside from the CPR bit, I really enjoyed this episode. I almost looked forward to when the Siren came on screen just because I loved the music and because Lily Cole is gorgeous.
WHY MUST RORY ALWAYS COME CLOSE TO DEATH? I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF WORRY EVERY WEEK, DW.
Toby! Rory! The TARDIS!!!
That was fun. Now, off to read comments.
Honestly… I think I was expecting more light-hearted shenanigans with an episode about pirates. Incorporating the siren and the black spot stuff was cool, but the episode felt very jumbled and confused– I kinda wish they'd gotten to the whole two ships idea earlier in the episode and had a better chance to explore it.
Siren girl was not remotely scary: the whole red-demon face just looked silly.
And they pretended like Rory was going to die, again? Really? C'mon guys, they killed him last season, I will not believe they are going to actually kill him again anytime soon.
There were definitely good bits in the episode but it felt very rushed and confused and most of the plot made no sense at all. ): Color me disappointed.
Hopefully, next episode will be better. I have high hopes.
However: SPACE PIRATES. We need to see more of these.
Drunk!Rory and Shirtless!Rory in the same episode.
…is this Heaven?
I was asleep at six and missed it >_> Soooo I watch the re-airing at 9!
hmmm so now I'm allowed to comment on the episode, right? 😀
Bit of a come-down from the opening two parter, but I don't really think anything could have topped that. Eh, it was fun, but a pretty disposable monster-of-the-week episode. And the scene with CPR on Rory was just annoying since we all ~knew~ he wasn't going to be killed off for real. They did that last season!
Except, WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCK THAT WOMAN WITH THE EYEPATCH WAS BACK AGAIN WHO IS SHE I MUST KNOWWWWWW.
Amy you are boss.
….Siren tries to beguile Rory, it just makes him like Amy more?
Doctor/TARDIS shippers will enjoy this: http://scarlettsarcasm.tumblr.com/post/5294343427…
OH JEEZ. THIS WAS THE FINAL STRAW. I ACTUALLY DO SHIP DOCTOR/TARDIS. CRAP AND YESSSS
I'm super late, so just doing my own liveblog in one comment!
Hello, pentacle. Please please don't let that be used as a sign of evil.
Lol yes let's put the lady in with the giant box of swords. Why do you have a box of swords.
D: I don't know what's going on but noooo Rory. Although drunk Rory is the best.
I know I have seen that woman before. Who is she?
A green singing shark in an evening dress. Yes.
D: TARDIS NO
GODDAMMIT NOT MIRRORS
This kid is just like intentionally being an idiot, isn't he.
that crown looks so fucking cheap
HOLY SHIT WHAT IS UP WITH THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW
….alternate universes. wait. hold on, i thought that wasn't possible anymore.
oh my god I love how happy the Doctor is to see the TARDIS.
she's an antivirus! She's like Avast: green when everything's good, red when there's a problem! Although my computer doesn't spit fire when it encounters a virus.
hold on why are they going to die? Most of the rest of the men just have cuts.
adfjadlf;ja ljd oh god I was literally shouting FUCK YOU, MOFFAT at the screen when I thought they were going to let Rory die AGAIN.
well we rebooted the universe….
They're going to die because Rory was drowning and couldn't breathe on his own. He had water in his lungs/esophagus and couldn't take air in without the hookups. The little boy's gonna die cos he is riddled with typhoid fever.
I got that, but I didn't get why the siren thought the other men were going to die. Papercuts can't be deadly where she's from.
I don't think she did. They were injured and she needed to fix them. It didn't necessarily have to be a deadly injury for them to need a little healing. She just didn't understand where to go from there.
Omg it's metal eye lady! I guess she's totally unrelated to the Silence, then.
(Also, that is a really crappy crown. It's like, sheet metal and plastic jewels and beads. Was there not a better crown you could borrow from a royal show or something?)
Actually, this is clearly before 1969, so I guess the Silence are still around…
Thought I might be too tired to do this (just gotta off an 8 hour + shift) but seeing the Doctor's face, it makes me smile. I do love that man.
And anything to do with pirates it always a welcome sight.
Silly Doctor, don't encourage them.
Oh Amy, you're so me right now. I'd do exactly that if I found myself on a pirate ship. ILY!
Though, you might actually bit a little bit better at swords than I am. Anything I know about them is from watching Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings.
No, not Rory!
Rory sounds likes he's on drugs. haha. (which is totally not something funny or to laugh about…)
Glowing blue lady… is now angry red lady. haha.
No Rory DON'T DO IT!!!
Good Doctor. Drag Rory away.
Green? Was she green?
stupid leeches. Always hated them.
Oh, the plot thickens.
Totally called that the kid was just sick.
Ships are not safe, mmkay. (except the Tardis)
Aww… poor kid.
Stuck? The Tardis shouldn't get stuck. It's wrong.
Go kid!
Um… I don't like it when my car makes similar noises, so if the Tardis is making them, it's very bad.
I think it's more the ship abandoned her Captain. (the Tardis does tend to have a mind of her own sometimes…)
Kind of hard to do a mutany with just one person.
You now wnat me to fear mirrors? WHY?
Of course, it's always the kid who wants to see the pretty shiny thing that causes the problem. *headdesk* Why do writer's do this? Kids can't always want shiny stuff. (though I guess in this case, not so bad… he is on a pirate ship.)
Yes, let's break stuff. I like breaking stuff.
Aww… cute Amy/Rory cuddle.
What? That eye patch lady! But how? What?
Oh… stars are pretty. I like stars.
I'm also a big fan of change. Change can be good. It can also be bad, but mostly good.
Ah… I want to play pirate. 🙁
Crowns are useless really. They look pretty, but that's about it.
Why does everything bad seem to happen to Rory? Can't the poor man get a break?
I don't like this plan Doctor. Any of it. It's terrible!
I'm not going to go stepping through any reflections any time soon.
What the hell was that?
Eww…
(got too distracted to liveblog. Shirtless Rory! *childish girly giggle*)
Rory telling Amy how to save him. Awww… I want my own Rory. Why can't I have one?
*Note to self: Learn CPR…*
No no no no no no… Rory can't die again.
Yay! I'd be really mad if he died again!
Wait? How is the crew up and moving?
I love how Rory knew exactly what Amy was thinking about.
Also, I want a room on the Tardis. Can we see what a room on the Tardis looks like? Please.
IDK of how feel about next week…
I am going to bed now because it's 12am and I have work again tomorrow and I'm exhausted from work today! Sorry for the crap liveblog post. I'm tired.
Okay, I'm way late, but I am STILL going to liveblog just because I can. 🙂
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but all I have to say is this:
SIRIUS THE DOG STAR, HP CROSSOVER! 😀
I thought of both that and the book Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones.
I love that book. It was so good. No one else I know (IRL) has ever heard of it. I always try to convince them to borrow my copy but they won't because they're lame…
Even though I read Harry Potter first, my mind always leaps to Dogsbody whenever I hear mention of Sirius the dog star. I think it's because Sirius in that book was, you know, the ACTUAL Dog Star and so references to it are kind of like to him personally? Who knows …
What's important is that there are other Diana Wynne Jones readers here! No one I know in real life has or will read her books either, and that makes me sad (also it seems like people on the internet think that the way to exalt DWJ is to trash JKR, which also makes me sad – loving both is the way to go!)
Yeah, I thought of Dogsbody first, and then HP Sirius later, even though like you I read them in the other order. Love that book, and I am a HUGE HUGE DWJ fan. It's always nice to see more! 😀 I can ramble happily about her books for hooooooooooooouuuuuurs. <3
I actually had a book as a kid called "Children of the Dog Star". So I've known that Sirius was the Dog Star since I was about, oh, ten? And yet I still didn't figure out Sirius Black when I read HP…
FINALLY. Finally, my computer works again. DW, here I come!
Well, that's very Pirates of the Caribbean so far. …and not any more. But the first couple of seconds were. ^^
Aaaand again. Oh Man, I'll be thinking of those movies all the time today, won't I?
Huh, pentagram?
Theory incoming: when anyone else sees mysterious eye-patch woman do they think of Monarch Programming and other fun things like that or is it just me because my mind is odd? Anyway, it leads me to think that they might be heading down the path of Amy being crazy or something. That this woman keeps appearing to Amy unnerves me more than most things I've seen of all Dr Who, probably because I do have a mind that jumps to Monarch Programming (damn you mind!)
I don't know, its a half-assed theory, but I can't help but think of brain-washing or at the very least so form of expermentation and I worry that the stuff we're seeing might be negated by that.
Or perhaps there are two Amy Ponds. Thats the other thought I have and sometimes the cross over, like what the Doctor said about the two ships being from two universes, colliding.
"…but since you had a problem with sensors, I won't go there." LOL
Yay Amy =) And I love that she doesn't actually know how to fight with it and is just… imrpovising. Amazingly so, but anyway.
Well crap. that didn't go so well.
Ahhhhh SOMEBODY SAVRE RORY thank you dctor.
"A green singing shark in an evening gown!" 😀
"Every barrel is full of pwder" – I am somehow pretty sure that the Siren is going to get blown up. Or well, at least the ship when she's on there. Or something.
"Sorry I lied when I said yours was bigger" – yay for immature Doctor. ^^ (or for my brain in the gutter)
YAY KID =) The boy is awesome. Although he *did* just technically kill one of the pirates. He's still awesome.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TARDIS =(
Ummmm Doctor? You realise that mirror shards still reflect light?
WHAT. THE. HELL.
Eyepatchperson again? What is it with her?
Well done, pirate dad. JUST GREAT.
ROOOOOOOOORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :((((
Mirror other world trapped – why am I thinking of creepy girl from Human Nature/Family of Blood? This is sort of freaking me out right no..:AHHHHH HWHAT WAS THAT
Matrix!
"Toby! Rory! The TARDIS!" <3
Oh GOOD JOB PIRATE DAD. Why do you screw everything up? :/
Oooooh a Doctor 🙂 I like doctors.
Nonononononono RORY
I'm looking so much like the Doctor right now biting my nails and
RORY WAKE UP STUPD-FACE
🙁
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
ok, do I don't know if anybody has commented on that, but what about the scenes from the next episode? Can I talk about that? Is it spoilery? (is that a word?) I just need to talk about how those aliens fom the Firefly-like* episode are baaaaaaaaaack! And I can't decide whether that's good or bad but I have a feeling it's really really bad because everything in Doctor Who somehow ends up being really really bad!
*I mean, come'on. Ten an Rose find an abandoned spaceship in the middle of nothing, which screams "Reavers!". Then they find the crew that includes a very young girl who works the machines, a reluctant and angry but really-loves-his-crew Captain, a very smart but shy and proper "doctor", and a Number Two who used to be a soldier. And they spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Not to mention the base's corridors look a lot like Serenity.
Or maybe it's just my brain.
So Mystery McEyepatch is definitely this series' Bad Wolf, but beyond that I can't figure it out…
Knowing how seemingly unrelated ideas can come back to be a major plot point in the series ( the fob watch in the Family of Blood for example), the whole notion of two realities mashing together introduced here could be important. The eye-patch woman (or whatever we're calling her) could be from another reality, ocassionally slipping through. This could also relate to the whole pregnancy thing. Perhaps in one reality Amy is pregnant and one not? This might explain the TARDIS's confusion. Let me know what you guys think.
Oh I hadn't thought of that. That might explain how she's just popping up all over the place with her weird hatch. It's a window that she's using to look in. I prefer the theory that Amy's pregnant/not pregnant thing is cause the baby had a 'time head' but this is interesting.
THEORIES ABOUND
Okay srsly I'm so excited about just writing this comment because that's how cool I am mkay? I've been reading this stuff since Mark Reads… Eclipse? I think? And this is the first time I've been all WAHEY MARK READS COMMUNITY. So I'm excite. And probably going to ruin that with a useless comment.
Mkay, so. The Lodger, the "Can you help me?" thing was an auto-crash-recovery-thingummy-whatsit, yes? It could take the form of whatever it found most appropriate? And Lily Cole in this episode was an auto-medic that could also take the form of whatever it found most appropriate. And the Silence's ship had somesuch to do with the one in The Lodger, no? So I think there's still some connection there, but I can't quite suss out what…
And as for the lady with the doorsliderthing (believe it or not, English is my first language, I'm just remarkable inept at using it today) who keeps speaking to Amy… I'm not sure she's an Alien Big Bad, I think she might just be a hallucination. There's always been this theme of the Doctor being bad for people, he turns them into weapons, he makes them want to impress him… I think Amy Pond might just be a little bit mentally unstable.
Think about it, aye? She clung on to the idea of her childhood imaginary friend, who yes, we know was real, but most kids growing up do dismiss the unlikely, even if they know it seemed real at the time. But she kept on with the raggedy doctor, had a string of therapists… Killed herself when Rory died (Amy's Choice), she tried to seduce the Doctor that one time, and her entire past was re-written allowing for her to have parents that weren't crack-ified.
Erm, yes. Somewhat stream of consciousness rather than anything coherent, but. Yeah. Also, her doing CPR bothered me. SHE WAS DOING IT ALL WRONG. And how did we go from "I'm a nurse, I can show you how to save me" to "You've seen it on television a million times". They had all the time in the world for him to say "Okay, 15 compressions, then four breaths, holding my nose, remembering to let the breaths out, keeping to the rythym of Nellie the Elephant…" before they had to unplug him. Just. Gah. What? (Also I appreciate that I may be incorrect, as I believe the compression/breath ratio changed shortly after I finished my first-aid course)
Horray for first comment! I only started commenting here and now I can't stop.
Hmm…I think it was pretty much confirmed that the Silence ship from Day of the Moon was the same as the ship from the Lodger cause the Doctor said 'I seen this ship before' or something like that. There could be a connection between between autonurse-siren and the Silence's autopilot. Silence were said to be parasites yeah? Stealing technology from other people so maybe they stole the take-whatever-form-is-most appropriate technology from the ship in this episode. After all it's not 1969 yet so they're still around.
The CPR thing annoyed the hell out of me too. I never learned CPR but even I knew that she was doing it wrong. I had to look away from the tv. Also way to miss out on an opportunity to show on a kids something a little bit useful. I know you have to learn to do it and you can't just get it from tv but they could have at least done it right or mentioned that the way it's done on tv is wrong.
Theories Abound!
The mystery eyepatch woman really freaks me out. The way she keeps appearing behind a sliding hatch seems very psychiatric ward, doesn't it? And the fact that only Amy has seen her…VERY ominous.
But I don't think Doctor Who would go down the road of 'this is all in Amy's head' and negate everything that has happened – more likely there is some unknown force that will try to convince Amy that she's insane in the future, and is setting it up now so she'll start to doubt her reality.
Ooh, I like the idea of something trying to convince Amy she's insane… Reminiscent of the Ordeal in Neverwhere, no? Gaiman nerds, you with me? (You should be, he's written next week's episode 8D)
I might have missed it, but…. When Amy, Toby, Rory, and the other two pirates were in the gunpowder room, Toby "convinced" the one pirate to stay by cutting him, thereby marking him with the black spot. Then it pans to the Doctor and other stuff happens, and we see Mulligan (I think that was his name) get taken by the Siren because he burned himself…. But when we get back to the gunpowder room it's just Toby, Rory, and Amy. The other pirate is no where to be found! Did I miss seeing him being taken by the Siren? Or did they just forget to show that and we assume the Siren came in the room to take him, but left Toby and Rory, who were also marked?
Just wondering if anyone else noticed this/can explain where he went!
I was wondering that too… I think they just made a mistake.
SILENCE!
1. Eyepatch lady! WHAT ARE YOU?
2. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DO CPR.
3. The uterus is further down in the pelvis, not over the lumbar vertebrae.
But yeah, fun episode.
Next week is Neil Gaiman episode. All of my guilty pleasures will converge!
got my answer 😛
