I didn't think that much of the pirate episode because most if it looked stolen from an old Tom Baker episode and the ending (What the Siren really was) was oddly similar to the gasmask zombies, which I believe were Moffat's idea in the first place....

Wow.... how about that for an episode....?

I thought Suranne Jones was spectactular and honestly felt a bit a sentimental myself towards the end when the Doctor started welling up (Matt Smith taking another step waaaaay beyond David Tennant and towards Tom B as the best Doctor).

What a fantastic examination of the most important relationship in the whole series - how come no-one had ever thought of that before in the last 40-odd years??

AND, it speaks volumes that Moffat was big enough to let someone else handle it. Can you imagine RTD subbing an episode that big out to someone else - even if it was Neil Gaiman?

Terrific stuff - only a few more eps to go before the mid season break, the summer's going to feel very long indeed :)

*EDIT* Oh, and Amy's line "Did you wish really hard?" Must surely be a contender for quote for the year!!

Another Great one and always nice to see the lovely Suranne! This is shaping up to be a very good story arch, all beginning to make sense now :wink:

Suranne was excellent. She was even more "Helena Bonham-Carter" than Helena Bonham-Carter herself!

That was without a doubt my favourite episode of the Matt Smith run, I still dont enjoy him as much as David. I satnd by my initial assessment, Matt's greatest strength is when he is talking, David was superb when he wasn't.

It was AMAZING! though i was getting messageson twitter from the moment the show began saying " oh gosh you are SO LIKE HER!" i came to the conclusion its because there is more to me than meets the eye.... or am i little crazy?

i digress...

I actually had a hard time not welling up at the end :(

I've just achieved time travel through paypal. Placed an order and they estimate it will be completed before I placed it in.

Now I'm wondering if it will get delivered last week as well. 41 years is pushing delivery time even by royal mail times.

Excellent episode tonight, referencing (IMHO and in no particular order) Deep Space 9, Alien, Blade Runner, and with similarities to the Library episodes. Good job! :D
