One thing I've noticed with the Eleventh Doctor, throughout the season, is that we're frequently reminded how alien he is in various ways, possibly to distance him from the slightly too human Doctors of the RTD era.
In particular, his time sensitivity. For example, the way he can simply see that something is very old, older than it appears to be on the surface (such as when he's looking at the old woman in this episode), or the way he can freeze a moment and examine it (such as in Eleventh Hour when he knows he just saw something but can't remember what) in his head. I think it fits well with his Time Lord nature - and couldn't the Doctor in the classic series do similar(ish) things?
Of course, the Ninth Doctor did something very similar with the large fan in his second story, but that is the only instance I can remember of the RTD Doctor(s) doing anything like that.And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

I quite liked this episode.
-nice that Amy showed Rory that she chooses him. I think it's a good move for the character; even if I still don't see much chemistry between them. Maybe because I find that watching Amy and Rory isn't as much fun as watching Amy and the Doctor.
-"You swallowed a planet!"
-The doctor's nightmare.
-Loved pregnant!Amy. And her faking labor to teach the doctor a lesson.
-Ugh... The ponytail! so dreadful.
-The cold star was a cool idea that I would like to actually see in the show's reality.
-The old people were humorous and creepy, but not as entertaining as the rest of the plot.
-I did guess pretty early on that both lives were dreams.
-But I didn't see the whole Dreamlord being the Doctor thing coming. Brilliant. Toby Jones was awesome. Absolutely loved him. The looks he and Matt Smith gave each other. I have to go back and watch it again, now that I know what's up.
-I'm glad they showed the Dreamlord's reflection at the end; gives me hope that Toby Jones will come back for more episodes.sigpic

I couldn't like this episode at all. It was nice seeing Amy finally recognise her true feelings for Rory and that she'd want to die rather than live without him, but that's it. The rest of the episode, horrible. Seriously, psychic pollen? Oh god.Last edited by Col.Foley; 15 May 2010, 09:32 PM.

Also loled at Amy thinking shes giving birth, but not because she doesnt know what it feels like, then faking labour to show the Doctor that the area isnt dull, she taught him a lesson there =P
As everyone else is saying on this thread, we all hope thats not the last we have seen of the Dream Lord lol

That was better than last weeks episode
The Dream Lord was interesting and I also think that the he is part of the Valeyard, which is cool. The story had a very ClassicWho vibe to it and I liked it. Doctor Who showed again no regards for real physics and astronomy when it came to the cold star but I am fine with that since it was after all only a dream. It made a good story. I hope we will see the Dream Lord again and this time he should duke it out with the doctor all alone in his subconscious. Without anyone there to help him and can we please have it a bit more freaky? I would be happy if it were anything like "The Attic" from Dollhouse but I am also happy with less.He's like fire, ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun.
He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe.
And he's wonderful.

I loved this episode! I was surprised to see that both realities were fake, I was a little afraid when the Doctor said he was going to blow up the TARDIS. I liked the idea of a Cold Star though, and the Dream Lord was awesome! I hope he turns out to be real. This episode may actually be one of my favorites of Series 5.

Dark humor, sarcasm, sudden twists, mystery... just love it. Who needs the End of Time to make a good episode?
Oh and... Would you like me to go down to the swimming pool to do a few lengths?
