Crap. Good point.  Dammit Moffat, what are you playing at?

Oh yeah, a couple nitpicks: don't like Rory's or The Doctor's new haircuts, or the unnecessary changes to the title sequence.

Ya, I forgot to mention it, but I thought that the whole idea of an Asylum full of crazy and dangerous Daleks was actually really cool, but totally wasted in execution.

Still, next week looks like it could be really awesome.

For anyone wary of clicking on the spoilers without knowing what is being discussed, we are talking aout the new companions name-

Genre shows shot in the UK, of course there is!

GoT completely stole DW's thunder by announcing they'd cast Diana Rigg about a week after DW.

Dinosuars on a Spaceship was a good 2nd episode.  Liked that they're hinting more of the upcoming departure of the Ponds.  Having Rory's dad being involved was okay as well.

The dinosuars was done good and didn't take away from the story/characters.  Don't sure how much weight my opinion holds since I actually liked the story "Invasion of the Dinosuars".

As for the complaint about The Doctor letting the guy die in the end, I have no real problem as it's not the 1st time he's done something like that.  Look at the end of 4th Doctor's "Ribos Opperation".

Did good to continuing the series & I hope things remain that way.

Obviously it's a cultural thing. Even cops in the UK don't carry guns. The more pertient question, I think, is why does the Doctor constantly get into situations that are better suited to armies than to one guy with a screwdriver? Why not give him baddies who can be reasoned with or who are under someone else's control and therefore shouldn't be killed? (I can only think of the silurians and ood and maybe one or two others, like that fear-minotaur thing, who fit that description.)

Instead, the Doctor keeps running afoul of daleks and cybermen and silence and weeping angels such, who can't be reasoned with and respond only to violence.

Well, apart from the armed ones.

I didn't think much of this weeks episode. It had its moments but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did last weeks. They had comedy duo Mitchell and Webb and what did they do? Got them to voice annoying 'comedy' robots. They really don't know what to do with a lot of their comedian guest stars. It's like Bill Bailey, Alexander Armstrong and Arabella Weir in last years Christmas episode. I did like Amy doing something useful for a change, 'Neffi' and despite the pathetic 'balls' gag I really enjoyed Mark Williams as Rory's gag. At least they recognised the gag as being rubbish, given that Rory face palmed after it

And, the Doctor has killed before. Just last week, he blew up some Daleks, for example. And he was pretty murderous towards the Family in that two-parter where he hid as someone else (due to the fob watch).

Nice. I've seen the Armed Police in action, here, it's quite scary. They never fired the guns, though, so they were probably fake

Also.....I'm mentioned on Wikipedia!?!?

Well, my nuts are huge.....

I really enjoyed this episode. It was fresh to have a bad guy in an episode who wasn't trying to destroy the whole planet, he was just being a bit of a wanker.

Sure, in Torchwood.
