I certainly hope you have watched Journey's End by now, because you have no business being here otherwise. What did you think of Matt Smith?

Oh, hello, Toxx. Be careful, reading this thread may spoil the audio stories for you, or possibly the children's science story that McCoy did in the eighties.

I'm gonna post this in the review thread when it reopens, but I want all of you to see it here as well. After talking it over with Deapool, instituting some new punishments for being spoilery in the review thread. First offense: 24 hour probation, IE, if I have to edit your post, at all. Second offense: Three days and you're not allowed to post in the thread anymore. If you post in the thread after that, it's a month. The thread was great for over a month, so it can be done! But it seems like now every time we get to a big event a few people have to be "cute" and ruin stuff. Please don't do that. Post all that stuff in this thread all you want.

Also whenever Occ posts a quick blurb about the episode while he's watching, everyone takes it as opening the flood gate for opinions instead of waiting for the drat review

Maybe I was wrong.

The thread is ostensibly about the reviews, so it doesn't make too much sense to me to discuss episodes on their own when we should be discussing the episodes within the context of the reviews.

The Doctor deciding to just throw caution to the wind and flat out tell Hitler that the English are coming to kick his rear end. The Teselecta is a really cool concept. River getting to act out the "oooh, a new body!" that is usually the province of the Doctor post-regeneration alone was a lot of fun. The set design was excellent. Hitler shot Mels who was somehow a more despicable and hated creature than Hitler himself. Hitler gets humiliated, punched and thrown unceremoniously in a closet and left to stew in there for the rest of the episode. There is a lot of awful stuff in there too, a lot of TERRIBLE stuff, but Pwnstar is right, it is a bad episode with a lot of good moments. Season 6 itself is pretty "bad" as a season long story, but has some of the best individual episodes of the revival's entire run.

I distinctly remember seeing Let's Kill Hitler, but I couldn't give you any details of it even if I wanted to. It's all blank. I'm not even kidding, it's not like those "Star Wars Episode I? What's that?" spergs. Jerusalem's post mentioned shoving Hitler into a closet and that sounded vaguely familiar, like I'd read it in a book ten years ago.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Can you give us a choice example without us having to go near the wiki ourselves? On 30 April 1945, near the end of the war, the Doctor, Lethbridge-Stewart, Claire Aldwych and Hitler's son visited Hitler in his bunker. Hitler's son had forced the Doctor to take him back in time to meet his father. Aided by the Doctor's prior 'friendship' with him influencing his decision to believe the Doctor over this stranger with his face and name, Hitler dismissed his son as a madman and shot him. Shortly afterwards, he committed suicide rather than face defeat. (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass)

A lot of those moments sound good on paper and then you recall that River Smug was involved in them and it sours the whole thing. Also the teslecta thing makes no sense if you think about it for a moment and unfortunately the uneven lurching pacing of this episode gives plenty of time for reflection on things like that as well as the mistakes you've made in life that lead up to the point where you're rewatching series 6 episodes.

I'm considering doing a Regenerated Dr Who Toxx Guessing game, but either I need to find a way to make score spread out more or run it over a longer period of time. Currently I'm wondering about running over the duration of the Amy/Rory Companionship so 2 and a half season. Thoughts? General feedback?
