1. Yeah, seems like they were trying to make up for "The Pandorica Opens" there to some amount. I thought it was pretty cheesy.
2. Totally agreed.
3. To be fair, they haven't saved the world by that particular method too often, and it was slightly better than the usual 30 seconds of excited Doctor technobabble we used to get.

3: Well it seemed like a repeat of the Ecclestone finale, granted that was some time ago, but it seems like anything can be solved with the power of a kiss, which we all know is absolute bollocks.

I loved the alternate history aspect to this one and tried to ignore the plot.

I liked how "alternate history" really translated as "all the bits of history that Stephen Moffat thinks are cool"

That was FUN!

It really all came back together. And people were complaining about the Robot when it showed up in Let's kill Hitler. Yes, the question was a bit weird, but apart from that I really liked the finale.

Exactly my feeling, it pretty much invalidates the entirety of next season..... balls...

Other than that, it was fairly lukewarm for me (yes, its taken me 2 days to watch it, you can tell how enthused i was about it ).

Liked Rory's 'hardcase' bit,......and how he almost mucked it up and had to be saved by Amy, priceless!

Saw the robot bit coming a mile away

Definitely liking the idea of a 'behind the scenes' Doctor, back to how he used to be (i think), before he got 'noticed' all the time. You know, like when noone knew who he was and he had to blag his way in everywhere, i liked that!

And i thought the nod to the old actor was a beautiful touch, had to google the name though...

I like how Rory is growing badass with time.

At the begining of serie 5, he was behind Amy, you know ? It was like Amy was the Doctor's companion, and Rory was Amy's companion.
And then, he began to say things like "Do you really want me to repeat my question ?" or (spoiler last episode of the 6th serie)
Spoiler:
"They already activated it ma'am"
.

And it really is a good expand(?), growing(?) of the character.

Steven Moffat talks about series 7:

I've got a broad picture of the next 14 [episodes]."

"...now I'm thinking, 'We had more public interest from Let's Kill Hitler - just those three words - than any trailer we've ever done, so let's do a series like that, where we really slut it up.'

"That's what I've been saying in my writers' briefings just this week: 'Write it like a movie poster. Let's do big, huge mad ideas.'

Liked the finale. The best episode this season for me, was it just me or did Amy pond look better with an eye patch?

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

I just saw that Christmas Episode trailer on the Children in Need show.

Looks like a spin on The Lion, The Witch and the wardrobe, at least the country house and visit to the snowy woods anyway.

No sign of any other recurring characters or badguys.

It also pretty cool. A reason to look forward to Chrimbo at last!

It look interesting, but I won't be holding my breath considering how disappointing this last series has been.

As for the finale.. I think that would be one of, if not the worst one yet. The archetype and idea was good, the execution poor - pretty much the only fault of this show nowadays.

A bit of a let down compared to the last one, if you ask me.

Oh yes, the set up is slow, but the second and third parts are great, as the guy making them gets better with the technology.
