Finally got to watch the epsiode....  interesting.
I didn't like Clara in this episode as much, though....  She seemed......   less interesting (I guess that's the best way to describe it)

question:

I vaguely remember something called the great intelligence... but can not, for the life of me, pinpoint it.
Which doctor faced it before?

AH!    The one with all the LOST episodes.  That explains it. I never watched much of the few espisodes that still exist for that doctor (I disliked Jamie and the doctor of that regeneration)


I have to say though, Matt Smith is growing on me as the doctor.  I wasn't thrilled with him to start...

Also, the Eleventh Doctor encountered it in last year's Christmas special. No surprise the Great Intelligence was played by Richard E. Grant again, in that respect.

Technically, that was only 3 months ago, so I'm hoping that Kindred at least remembered this one ;)

Pete, you're talking about my favorite doctor!! :P

Oh my...the best quote of the Doctor:

Quote
"I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time. No space. Just me! I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn’t believe. I have lost things you'll never understand! And I know things. Secrets that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will make parasite gods BLAZE!"

And the best bit is that the epic speech was completely lampshaded by a much more powerful emotional moment.

personally, I thought the episode was meh....

my favorite line was "yes, I was here once with my grand daughter.." (mostly because of Clara's response - which never got expanded on, unfortunately.

What was her response, already..?

And I thought they'd retconned his grand-daughter thing into something else, since in some earlier Tennant season he claimed he didn't have any family..? Maybe in 'The Doctor's daughter'..?

:edit: Interesting... For the second time today, a quick-edit didn't have any influence on the unread status for me. Does this mean it only happens in some topics/boards/specific situations..?

It was somehting along the lines of "hang on..." as the Doctor cotinued to walk on through the market. But they never let her finish her objection.

I don't know if they retconned anything...    he said that he had no family - but all the timelord were destroyed, so perhaps he was being completely honest while not telling the whole truth.
Maybe, with this reference as a hint, we'll finally find out what happened to the granddaughter between leaving Hartnell and the timewar...

ARGH!   I did not like this past weekend's episode.


Actually, with the exception of a few lines and a few secenes, I have been disappointed in the entire 2nd half of the season.

I was so looking forward to Clara. I loved her in the Dalek episode...   she was amazingly frenetic and interesting in the snowmen episode...  and now she's blah...  they haven't made this incarnation at all interesting, Even her tiff with the Tradis is only mildly entertaining...

It was definitely a 'meh' episode. Though the bit of it that was any good is the bit where the discussion gets around to 'experiences makes you lie' (as a coping mechanism) and that certainly sums up the Doctor.

Well...

It was mentioned that he have "silver ice in his heart, not to trust him." which  give us a hint of 12th Doctor.
