imo most of the angels looked goofy and fake when snarling/bearing teeth other wise the rest looked ok.
other wise the end of the ponds was kinda lame an angel survives and takes them..really ?
imo they should of left it at the roof top they jump off time resets but amy and rory don't return we just see their graves and a tomb stone inscription about reading the book.. and then the doctor just ups and leaves that remaining angel in manhattan ? really ??
Well, of course, it doesn't really end there... the Eighth Doctor was in New York in 1938 as well, where he'd be able to pick them up and go on many adventures.
And like I said, so long as the Doctor returns them to the 19whatevers, there's nothing to stop them having more adventures, or him taking them to see their parents and whatnot.

And hey, whatever happened to Spoilers?
I figured I needn't bother a mod by reporting the previous post for spoilers. They're busy enough as we're appearing to go through another spammer attack around now.
Also no Eighth Doctor picks them up and they go on adventures you are wrong it has been Gatiss' plan all along
The Doctor said he couldn't go back. I think the Ponds dropping back fifty years or more and then ageing to death is like Adric dying.... the Doctor can't save him/them or even go and say goodbye because it has already happened. Sending them the book to publish is different, though, because the events leading to their deaths rely on it.
Eh, that's open to interpretation. I still think the Doctor can pop back and say hello - I think he even said that. There's no real record of them doing anything, just that they die in their 80s. In THE 80s, if I got the timespan right. The book basically detailed the events of the episode, not what they did afterwards. Who's to say they can't do more?
When Rory read that tombstone, I nearly shouted "OH SHIT!" in my tiny hotel room with my sleeping roommate. Out of the whole episode, I think that was probably the best done moment.
It tied everything together that we learned that episode into a nice drama moment right there. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, that was just my feeling on the subject.
So the Ponds are now stuck in middle century New York. And, in about 3 decades, their daughter will be there. Are they going to do something with that, or will they just ignore the continuity?
One thing that bothered me about the episode, that I couldn't stop thinking about was
that even with the fact that there was a lot of temporal disturbance focussed around new York in 1938, what was to stop them materialising just outside of new York, and taking a train in or something? Plus he could still go back with the vortex manipulator river used to get there. Why was she there anyway?

It could be more complicated than was discussed in the episode.
Perhaps the rift was connected to Amy and Rory and so no matter where they went it would still be in effect. Or perhaps this is a convenient loophole that Moffat will be exploiting later when he wants to bring them back for a cameo. I believe the second option is more likely.
Or maybe the Doctor really hates trains. Like, a lot.
River said the Doctor couldn't bare seeing them aged. Going to a later date, say, 1950, would mean he would have to face the fact that Rory and Amy will die sooner than he will anyway. And sure, he could go to an earlier date to meet them later, but that would mean he would have to stay put for a very long time, and aside from the fact that the Doctor has a serious case of cannot-stay-still, he would risk exposing himself to the world again, after the trouble he went through erasing himself from history.
I thought it was a perfect episode. Seriously, some of the complaints being brought up are just over analyzing things. There was these kind of errors in Blink to, just now it's being applied to main characters, people should just go with the ride, the only part I thought was stupid was the Statue of Liberty (surely someone had to notice that!) but the interaction between Rory and Amy and showing just how much they loved each other is what made the episode, Amy was so distraught over losing Rory and his death being set in stone that she chose to sacrifice herself and be sent back to, she willingly left The Doctor to be with the man she loved, and both her and Rory lived their life together and were happy until they both died, ...why would The Doctor want to change that? Like he said when trying to convince Amy, he can try and figure out a way to get Rory back perhaps, he was desperate to not let her go, but she let him go, and the Williams lived out their life.
I've recently got the 5th issue of the Doctor Who and Star Trek crossover comic and I was wondering, is anyone else also reading this? Personally, I've liked it so far.

I definitely plan on reading it, but I'm going to wait for the trade paperback.

I'm reading them a month or so behind, because the previous issue drops in price on comixology after the newest one comes out. So if 5's out I can probably get the fourth one now.
I thought the first issue was quite dull and the second one wasn't really eventful either... I did enjoy the
flashback scenes in the third one, mostly because the art style is less obnoxious and also because it feels like more story actually happens
. Still, I'm interested in seeing where they go with it.
I'm curious to see how they justify the Cyb/org team-up, since it still doesn't really seem like they have much to gain from each other.
On paper, they have similar goals. Make everyone like themselves. Of course, when you get down to it, you're right. The Cybermen want that, but the Borg want to adapt all races into one, assimilating all cultures and races. Which... kinda makes them the same, I guess. Huh.
Assimilation2 has been hideously expensive, utterly tedious (four or five issues in and there's been barely anything happening at all), and they've traced some really inappropriate choices of artwork.
So if Melody got the energy from the TARDIS into her DNA, wouldn't she actually be part TARDIS rather than part Time Lord? Unless the TARDIS is a Time Lord, but I don't know if I like the implications of that. It makes me think of the stories of witches and their familiars where the familiars are really just witches gone bad who were punished to live their lives out as cats or other animals. Then again, maybe the TARDIS is a reincarnated Time Lord who has already lived out 13 regenerations.
(What's the point of putting Rose and Amy Pond and whatnot in the show in 2013? Surely we can hold them over another year or so till the 10th Anniversary of the programme coming back?)

Until Doctor Who #8 and Charley rescue them, that is.
Anywho, new image of Paul McGann in character klaxon.
..... in speculation-based news.

I'll believe it when I see it.
That ep was easily on the top 5 of the classic series.
