The Beast Below (3102/502)

[P-90_177]

Really? I thought it was a reference to The End of the World in season 27, but then they didn't mention anything about the expansion of the sun there.

Well no. They didn't mention the sun expanding. Only Solar Flares. It was only the 29th Century where as The End of the World was billions of years in the future.

Another good episode
Any doubts about Matt Smith are definately gone now
Looks like it will be a strong season

Next weeks episode looks good

Spoiler:

Daleks, Winston Churchill and space battles

One question though, since when have people been able to call the Tardis? Should I put that in spoilers?

I adored how he answered Churchill's response with 'Hi dear! What's up?'

Another top quality episode from the moff......brilliant brilliant brilliant....david who?
If this series continues in the rich form of vein it's in then matt smith could well go on to become my favourite doctor after tom baker!!!!!!!
Let's just pray and hope that amy doesn't fall for the doctor and they just have mutal admiration for each other so we don't get another rose/martha....cause that would be the only thing that could spoil it for me.

[Matt G]

1. Is this the best the 29th century can do techwise?

2. Liz 10 - certainly not your average monarch.

3. Starwhale - definately like the idea.

4. Smith-Doctor definatey seems interesting - hope he doesn't do anything too stupid in the next ep.

I don't mind there being a certain amount of romance between the doctor and Amy, just as long as it's handled correctly and made a bit more subtle. Like she loves the life of adventure and therefore by extension the Doctor rather than just Rose and Marthas direct lovvy dovvyness.

[SaberBlade]

I don't think there will be a romance.

For one, I can't see Moffat taking the same route that RTD did with 10th and Rose. From a character point of view, I can see the Doctor thinking of her more of a daughter or at least in his eyes, more like the little girl he first met. As with Amy, it's the same. She may have some jitterbugs about getting married "tomorrow" when she first went off with him, but she could still see him as the imaginary friend who'd take her on fantastic journeys. He's Gandalf to her Bilbo.

After eventually getting iPlayer to work so I could watch it...

A fabulous episode. Well done Karren, having to save the day in her nighty those Smilers did creep me out quite a bit, defiantly can see Moffet's influence! Argh! and the Demon Headmaster? Terrified me as a kid!

I thought it was a nice touch with Amy in the voting booth having what her age was and then not revealingly her marital status Wouldn't it have her date of death, unless there never was one... hmm...

So many witty one liners I can't post them all without transcribing the episode!

Oh and next week!! Squueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I want a time machine to get there faster!

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Pretty good episode. It wasn't one of those "OMG AMAZING" kind of episodes, but I couldn't find any major flaws. Heh. Liz 10 is my kind of queen.
Did anyone else notice the Magpie Electricals sign when Amy discovered the hole? I wonder if it will be of any significance over the course of the season...
Oh, and Matt and Karen both continue to impress me.

Next week looks good as well. Churchill and the Daleks means that it will definitely be an interesting episode.

I noticed! Hope there is!

[Jonzey]

Meh, I've never been a fan of the mysterious stuff happening in future societies stories. It all felt a bit familiar.

The Demon Headmaster! how i loved tht cameo, instantly i wondered if he was a hypnotising baddy would have been great ..."look into my eyes, octopus is your friend, octopus needs you"

[Blencathra]

Gawd, this makes me feel old. I know nothing about The Demon Headmaster. To me Terrence Hardiman was Reinhardt in The Secret Army from the '70s.

The Demon Headmaster was one of those cool mid 90s series that recent shows fail to compare to. He was brilliant in it, very scary performance.

Scots haven't been killing each other for it in acts of terrorism. Killing each other > campaigns. It's just a nice little joke to have though, saying to the Scottish character that the Scots wanted their own ship although it makes you wonder having seen the episode, if the UK had to use a Space Whale, what did the Scots use?

We probably invented somthing, were good at that. Called it somthing inventive like.... The Deep Fat Flyer!
