Tonight is 2nd Episode for season 6, Day of the Moon. Who are those aliens? Why is there a little girl in the space suit. Will the Doctor get a new cowboy hat?

It wasn't really a mindfuck, it was just... jilty. It could have done with some better pacing.

Not saying I didn't enjoy it, and Moffat is still by far better than RTD ever was, but this probably would have worked better as a three parter.

You can just start with Season 5 since its pretty much a reboot. If you enjoy what you watch then you can go back and start at season 1.

Actually, starting with the fifth season (i.e. last season) of the 2005 series should be fine, since it's the first season with Matt Smith as the Doctor, and introduces all the regulars for the season. Well, River Song was introduced earlier, but who gives a shit about River Song?

Anyways, yeah, last season is important for this season, but if you would like to start back in '05 with the 9th Doctor, and watch through to the 11th, feel free. Beyond that, you might have to do some hunting to find the old series.

If he uses a Deus Ex Machina I'm done with the series after all of the times I put up with it in RTD's run. This series is really pushing the jump-the-shark threshold for me.

With bad writing and stupid 'deaths' that mean nothing?

Not to mention Eleven approving of River killing people and using humanity as an attack dog.

The Doctor didn't brainwash humanity into killing Silents on sight, they did it themselves. He just acted as a conduit. It's like when Seven boobytrapped a superweapon and goaded Davros into using it, leading to the destruction of Skaro.

I imagine his intention was more in creating an environment where the Silents would be unable to move about and manipulate humanity at will, forcing them to flee and/or go into hiding.

He's always smug when he thinks he's done something especially clever. I'd say using the moon landing to turn their ability against them would count in that regard.

He also managed to force a relatively bloodless victory without having to just blow them up or whatever like with the Racnos, Daleks, Time Lords, etc.

Remember at the end of season 4 when Davros calls out 10th Doctor for basically making a personal army out of his former Companions through the simple act of involving them in his life and getting them to care about him? Sorta-same problem; they need to confront and explore it more in the show, especially as it relates to the whole "Oncoming Storm/he ended The Time War" thing. They probably won't though, which sucks.

All I want out of this season so far is that The Silence aren't dead for good. There's too much build up so far for them to be all gone in two episodes.

They had a few black agents in '69.

>>6421098
That bothered me too. Granted they were not only aggressive, but mindraping the human race on a regular basis. It is a bit different than wanting to take over simply because of territory. I guess it helps that they aren't palatable lizard women.

>>6421275
I -really- don't think they need to go over that any further. Seasons 3 and 4 were full of that, and Amy's already a study on the danger's of encountering the Doctor at a young age. They've done nearly everything except call him a sociopath.

The doctor's mercy has always been kinda dodgy. More of "get the fuck out of my turf or I'll make sure you get killed even if I don't do it myself".

Hell, just look at the Dalek's. Even if he does it to protect the human race trying to genocide them doesn't count?
My guess is he went with the same mindset this time. You can't negotiate with them, kill 'em.

The whole Amy being pregnant and the girl being half-timelord seems more intriguing (and will potentially lead to gigantic bullshit... remember the outcry and retcon of the doctor being half-human due to the movie?)

I think they could have punched up the story a bit to better depict them as an irredeemable evil on par with the Daleks. Had them eat a kitten or something.

Amy pregnant I can deal with. Timechild is kinda bullshit unless they evaporate her to unkill the Doctor in some Tragic Thing We Never Talk About Again.

I don't think the kid is genuinely half-Timelord. If she is Amy's, it'll probably tie into the whole "time head" talk she had with the Doctor, and the effects of time travel and whatever on an unborn baby.

He did gave them a chance to surrender/leave. He only gave the order to activate the video broadcast after they refused.

Yes, he didn't give them much time to think about it. But he gave them a chance none the less. And it's not like they would all drop dead; they would just be forced to leave Earth.

Amy's pregnancy is not normal. If Doctor isn't able to scan and confirm the pregnancy, then something scifi is going on and your regular pregnancy test dip stick just aren't going to cut it.

And then there is the theory that the man she killed was Omega(an old series villian wiki him) And that the voice that said "Fear me i've killed hundreds of Time Lords" was Omega

The reason for the theory is because if you look on the uniforms of the soldiers in Weeping Angles episodes had an omega on their patches. Some think that they are Omega's army and they see him as a god.
