I never thought I'd get to say that again." - best quote. Loved his face when he said that, pure childish joy.<br />I end up reading your reviews before I see the episode because I have to wait until they are available on-demand, and usually it is a good thing, because I miss a lot of the good lines due to me not quite being able to understand with the accents (accents to my ears, anyway)...so when I read the review first, I "get" the line!Soozenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-27783732012235074362011-05-23T11:16:28.585-04:002011-05-23T11:16:28.585-04:00Hmm the siren took a tissue sample from the docotr...Hmm the siren took a tissue sample from the docotr (the black spot), there are two bodies made of sewn up time lord flesh on an asteroid at the end of the universe and there is a technology able to grow gangers. So even if the Doctor's gagner can't regenerate someone could make a perfect duplicate using the components from the previous two episodes. Also River told us in ep 1 that Time Lord DNA is highly desirable commodity. I sense a pattern. ;)Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-75041055831417158402011-05-23T08:02:18.361-04:002011-05-23T08:02:18.361-04:00Wasn't my favourite episode but I did like the...Wasn't my favourite episode but I did like the Confidential for it though.<br /><br />Good use of Rory in this one.shawnlunn2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242367250345323622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-59097657964188055362011-05-23T06:11:10.702-04:002011-05-23T06:11:10.702-04:00I called the Doppelganger idea for Episode 1 FROM ...I called the Doppelganger idea for Episode 1 FROM Episode 1...Haha I win. Maybe that's just from playing a doppelganger in D&D for two years...<br /><br />I actually wasn't particularly fond of this episode, and not just because it was riding on the heels of one of the best episodes since 'Turn Left.' It was a little too choppy for my taste. It had too much and yet too little information, even for the first half of a two-parter. I do believe the sneezes are significant. I didn't get why Mad Eye Moody made a silent split-second appearance without even talking to Amy this time. Solar flares? Acid? Rory's suddenly as desirable as Captain Jack? Plus 'the enemy is human-made' sort of plot was a little mehh-ish (if you'll pardon the invention of a new word) for me. I liked it better the way it was presented in 'The Beast Below.' <br /><br />Then again, as you well know, I'm extremely picky about my Who, and I'm still not sold on Moffet-era being superior to Davies-era.<br /><br />By the way, did anyone notice how the armor of the doppelgangers looks like human-sized Sontaran armor? The dome-shaped heads, the giant shoulder shields, and the segmented abdominal shield? Am I just being paranoid? <br /><br />New proposition on Mad-Eye: she's the regenerated Little Girl from the second episode. Not sure of her motives for stalking Amy from a parallel dimension, though.The Doctor Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-26778699096541926342011-05-23T04:15:35.670-04:002011-05-23T04:15:35.670-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.zobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715413225081718476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77329014885829649182011-05-23T01:25:04.950-04:002011-05-23T01:25:04.950-04:00Well, it seems like my "two Doctors" the...Well, it seems like my "two Doctors" theory just got confirmed.

Of course, I like him so much better than Amy. (And the TARDIS agrees with me.) But, I was also hoping for a callback to him being a 2000 year old Plastic Roman soldier as well.
