I've seen people complain about that before. I can kinda see it, but that's never really something that's bothered me that much. I don't really watch Doctor Who to get into those kind of discussions. Its my geeky sci-fi show that I escape to. For me, I'm just more annoyed with the characters and this doctor. Like, I enjoy Matt Smith, but i feel like the writing hinders a lot of the story and whats going on. I'm also tired of the companions. I love Rory to death but Amy is just...I'm kind of tired of the dynamic between them. I think what really did it was the episode that was kind of about her in the last season. Where she got trapped at that place and was all "I HATE YOU ALL" about it...while Rory had to wait 2000 years for her. Ugh, I just don't like the way her character is being written now. I liked her in the beginning. She was cute, new, spunky. But ugh i dunno.

I know a lot of people have problems with River Song, but really she is one of my favorite character's since we met her in Silence in the Library. However, I only wish they would have gotten through her story faster than the way they are playing this out. Its like "ok i get it. Can we have more episodes of her as sort of companion? and none of this other bullshittery?" The last episode of se6 has me torn too. I really enjoyed the play with what happens to time when an fixed event gets changed. I actually didn't mind the plot twist at the end where it was pretty much a deus ex machina. It was kind of a doctory thing to do. However, what killed it for me was the very last part of the episode with the blue guy being all like "you're still running from the question! Doctor Who?" UGH. REALLY. THAT'S THE QUESTION. >_<

Annnyway. That's just my feelings on it. I really haven't liked the show as much since Davies left as head writer. I was pretty hooked on se1 thru se4. I'm just hoping the Christmas special will be decent enough to hold me over until next season which isn't until next fall. /sigh Btw, how do you feel about the Christmas special? Since it's essential a ripoff The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe. Like I'm wondering how they got the ok to go with that? Like last years christmas special was a Christmas Carol. And everyone does Christmas Carol at some point. So I can see how it worked out. Doing a version of Christmas Carol is almost a given now a days. But Chronicles of Narnia? I'm not so sure about that. Oh well. We'll see how it plays out. Sorry this got so winded, i don't have many who fans to talk to anymore besides my BF and we've already had all this discussion months ago. XD

I'm one of those people who don't like River Song. I actually did in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead because she was an interesting and well written character (though looking back on it I wonder if her dislike for that incarnation of the Doctor was just Moffat writing his own dislike). However, ever since this previous season her character has become a rather cliche written character. Seriously, not only is she Amy and Rory's daughter, but she is also a child with Time-Lordy abilities who also is the one who "kills" the Doctor. She used to be such an independent woman who's whole purpose now is to chase and unconditionally love someone she met for really a couple hours. This is such a reoccurring theme to Moffat's writing. Amy, Reinette, River, and most other of his female characters all fall in love with him and don't care what he does to them as long as they can be with him.

Amy should have every reason to hate Eleven and doesn't. Not only has she "lost" Rory so many times, but then he gets her daughter kidnapped and loses the chance to raise her. Oh, and let's not forget that he left her older self to be killed. Every other companion has questioned the Doctor's actions before and she never does. And she's still trying to get with him even though she's married to Rory!

And speaking of the let's kill the Doctor plot, if the Silence wanted someone with Time Lord-like ability to kill him, why not just hunt down Jenny? Not only is she his genetic material, but she would also would be able to get close enough to him since she is his daughter. He would have been thrilled to see her. Also they could have easily reproramed her. People speculate that it would be because Moffat would have to acknowledge the previous seasons and he hates doing that (his commentary is full of snide little remarks and stuff). They didn't need to ruin River's character the way they did to accomplish this. Hell, they could have used any of the Doctor's previous companions to get close and kill him without needing Time Lord ability. A simple gun would have been good enough. Three bullets to the chest would have killed any remaining regenerations.


That ending was such garbage. First off, that is not how a fixed point works and it has been established in previous seasons and Classic Who that it works nothing like that. So the fixed point was the robot dying? Really? What we had all figured would happen was that Rose and Handy would have exploited the cracks in the universe to get through, find the Doctor and Handy gives up whatever life he has to save him. That would have brought closure to their story as well as giving Moffat an out from bringing Tennant back from any future episodes (minus the previous Doctors one that should be coming up for the 50th anniversary). I'm also still trying to figure out how "marrying" River Song really solved anything.

A Good Man Goes to War is really not the highest he has risen and the hardest he has fallen. Moffat seemed to forget the Time War, the Year That Never Was, losing Rose, the End of Time, the Waters of Mars, or even his exile in his second incarnation, the trial of his sixth where he almost lost his remaining regenerations and met the Valeyard, (who is him) and a bunch of other things. It really wasn't that much of a thing when you look back on all the other stuff he's suffered through.

Eleven has some serious problems as well. People (all Moffat worshipers of course) like to claim that Ten was sociopathic (and let's face it he suffered so much loss and told he was going to die when he did these things and right after learned his lesson) but Eleven doesn't seem to have remorse for anything and many of his decisions are very questionable. And when he finally does start showing remorse he just ups and forgets about it when everything goes his way. Why does he leave River in jail when she really didn't kill him? Her suit was remote controlled and it was a robot anyway. The Doctor should have explained everything and gotten her off the hook. Also this Doctor seems to love getting his companions in trouble more often than not. Let's not forget how he easily blew up an entire fleet of Cybermen and had the Silence all do themselves in. Never once did he offer an alternative like he used to do in his previous incarnations.

Wow, I just love how his real name is the answer the question. That's just...I don't know. If it were really that simple to destroy the universe the Master could have done it a long time ago. I understand that Theta Sigma was his second name, but I think he would have told the Master what his real name was. Or any the Time Lords that should still be around (like the Rani and Romana. They weren't involved with the Time War).

Moffat wants to use the Master in the future. I seriously hope he doesn't eff him up like he did to everyone else. I really love the Master/Doctor dynamic and I don't think he could carry off their best friend enemy thing they have going very well. This Doctor is a bit of an idiot.

The highlight of the season was the human TARDIS. That episode was so sad but I'm glad the two of them finally got to speak face to face. Matt Smith really pulled if off well too.

As for the Christmas special, I think I'll be skipping it this year. I wasn't impressed with last years and honestly this one really doesn't intrigue me.

And one last thing, it still hasn't been explained why The Silence wanted to kill the Doctor in the first place. Or if it was, it was not very clear. I just find it odd that after all these years of the Doctor traveling in time and doing stuff and saving people that all of a sudden there is a whole secret religious cult that wants to kill him? Huh?

Also note, I don't like how the previous seasons are completely ignored (except in Let's Kill Hitler where THEY FINALLY referenced the older companions)...and i never realized it was due to Moffat being essentially an ass. Figures. :/

That's what I haven't quite figured out either. The Silence came out of nowhere I think because the Doctor was becoming to loud? Huh? Was that the reason? I think it was mentioned once in the finale but I'm not really sure.

One of the other problems with series 6 is that it's just a repeat of series 5 all over again. Both the season finales are the same and most of the episodes are just repeats of ones from the previous series.

Oh! And just who blew up the TARDIS in series 5 anyway? They still haven't explained that one.

Yeah, Moffat is an asshole. He has many problems with the way things had run up until he took over as executive producer and that's why everything about the show changed suddenly. He had the TARDIS interior changed, a new sonic screwdriver, a new theme song, and even new music (by the same guy) produced. Apparently his goal is to not use one thing that Davis did in for the four years prior. It's also why the Daleks were messed up and the Cybermen so easily blown up and why he keeps using the Angels.

Apparently he also isn't very nice to talk to at Doctor Who conventions either.
