I suggested it a while back, but is anyone interested in changing their icon to an angel for Tues and Wed?

My rewatch went quite well :) To be honest I was watchng in between doing an assignment that is due in VERY SOON so ANYTHING would have been enjoyable in comparison. But I thought it was okay :)
I mean, just ignoring some of the logic holes and mountains of ridiculous, it was pretty good!
Daleks are definitely better now I've seen the new ones out of that stupid looking room, sorry,spaceship, and actually kind of in action (pandorica opens/big bang)
First, is is spoilery to say "Why doesn't Amy know about the Daleks, Why?

Second, Neil Gaiman tweeted that Michael Sheen will be doing a voice for the episode that he wrote. YAY!

Would it be spoilery to review the episode as if I've never seen the Daleks before in my life?

I've never done this Cleverbot thing before, but it told me "the laws of time are mine and they will obey me!". Also that it's Rose. And that it loves drugs a lot.

:D

Several people, in the review's comments, have talked about the Bracewell bomb disarming and how that doesn't make sense or... whatever. I think Stephen_M covered the topic pretty well in his second main post, but... well, I want to say something, but I clearly can't say it on Mark's blog, so here I am.

I think part of the reason we get Bracewell's situation is to get the audience more amenable to the idea that manufactured beings can, in fact, become human -- not physically, but that's not the really important bit of what it means to be human, anyway -- so that when Rory reappears as a Nestene duplicate, the audience can more easily go with it and accept it... and see that it's still a person.

I mean, I don't know if the people who have problems with Bracewell's situation also have (or will have) problems with plastic!Rory, but I feel like today has kind of the pre-discussion for what's to come with Rory.

Actually, I think what Stephen_M started saying pretty much covers my thoughts on the subject, but I can't really say that there, and I just have ~feelings~ or something (so at least we know I'm human where it counts?) and had to get them out.

Too good not to share - Matt Bomer of White Collar, being weird with an umbrella:
