"Amy's Choice"

Hello fellow Doctor Who lovers!


Yes, Amy, we know you are pregnant. No need to clutch your stomach.
I know I am a little late with this review, but I'm here now, so yeah!

This ep is great, great, great! It has a lot of fantastic twists and turns, and a big plot, plus an interesting bad guy ...

Let's go!
Well, it starts with a countryside, a cottage, and a pregnant Amy Pond baking a yellow mixture inside.
Ooooh, cookies! I wonder which flavour?
Suddenly, she drops her bowl and spoon and clutches her bulging stomach, and screams one word: "RORY!" Meanwhile, Rory Williams is riding his bicycle back home, with a jacket on, and a ponytail, he hears his wife's screams. He takes a second or two, deciding what to do with his bike, before running into the house. Walking inside, he is suprised to find Amy sitting on a chair, eating her mixtures. "False alarm" she says. Rory comes and sits next to her, but then they hear a whirring sound, which reveals itself to be the TARDIS. The Doctor comes out, cracking the path, and meets up with the married couple. The three explore the "Upper Leadworth, actually, we've gone up-market" according to Rory. They sit down on a bench, and soon hear birds chirping and all fall asleep.

They all wake up, on the floor of the TARDIS, and all get up. They eventually work out that they all had the same "dream", of Leadworth, pregnant Amy, and Rory.
Doctor - Okay, not pregnant anymore?
They all talk about it for a while before hear the same birds chirping again, and they all fall asleep.

Waking back up at Leadworth, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory are totally spooked. The Doctor starts balbbering about "trandimentional, parallel universe", things like that. The scene ends with the Doctor telling Amy and Rory to "trust nothing, not anyone or anything" and to" hold on tight, this is going to be a tricky one ..."

They all wake up again, in the TARDIS, with the machine shaking and the Doctor not knowing what to do, saying he "Threw the manual in a supernova". They all are worried about which is real, all thinking that this place now was real. But the Doctor says "Yeah, but Amy, you thought it was all real when you were all ... elephanty!" "Hey" Amy says, pointing a spanner at him. "Pregnant" she says fiercly. "You could be giving birth right now!" the Doctor exclaims. The Doctor says look for anything that rings un-true. "Well" Rory says "We're in a spaceship, that'sb bigger on the inside then out" "With a bowtie wearing idiot" Amy puts in. "Valid point" the Doctor agrees, before the whole ship plunges into darkness. The birds chirp again, and they fall asleep.

Waking up in Leadworth, the Doctor starts giving theories to where they might be, pinching Rory's cheeks in the progress. The Doctor starts to find the local old-people's home a bit weird, thinking it wierd how "Everyone here lives to their ninety's" as Amy puts it. "There's something that doesn;t make sense" he says. Him and Rory start running off again, with Amy following, clutching her back and saying "For once, can we please not do the running thing?" In the old people's home, the Doctor and Amy inspect the elders, and one of the them puts the Doctor in a knitted jumper for their grandson. He looks at the Mrs Poggit, inspecting her saying she is very old. The birds chirp, and the fall asleep.

When they wake, the TARDIS is "bloody cold" as Rory fruitfully puts it. The Doctor tells them both to "not believe Mrs Poggit's nice old lady act if I was you". Everything is off in the TARDIS, the Doctor wondering who. A man appears, saying"That took a while". The Doctor is shocked, "How did you get into my TARDIS?" he asks the man, who is also wearing a bow-tie. He reveals himself to be the dream-lord, someone that isn't real there. It is also revealed that he is the one putting them in this state. He is somehow saying Amy has to choose between "her men". In both worlds, they are going to face dangers, inly one of the dangers is real. He makes the birds tweet, leaving them with the sentence, "Time to sleep, oh, or are you waking up?"
They wake up, now with the home empty. The Dreamlord walks in, and starts talking, with an x-ray of the Doctor's brain.
Dreamlord - Yes, Doctor, I compete in the olympics for holding my chin and reading at the same time, don't look so suprised.
Saying "he had aways been able to see through the Doctor", the Dreamlord starts asking the stuff. If you die in the dream, you wake up in reality. If you die in reality, you die forever. Once the Dreamlord disappears, the Doctorn realises that all the old people have gone. Ourside, Amy has contraction, with the Doctor holding his hands where the baby is supposed to come out. They hang out in the park for a while, before spotting Mrs Poggit following some children up a ramp. Birds chirp, sleeping time!

In the TARDIS, they are now really cold, and the Doctor is annoyed. He goes and looks for tools. Meanwhile, Rory is telling Amy how he wolud prefer the Leadworth dream to the TARDIS one, because it was everything he wanted. Amy doesn't agree, "Why would we give this all up?" she says. After working the Doctor's "device", an old-fashioned egg-beater, they get a view of outside and are confronted by a star burning cold. Rory starts to confront the Doctor, wanting the world he always dreamed of. The Dreamlord appears, and puts them all to sleep again.

Back in Leadworth, the Doctor, Amy and Rory walk up the ramp to find the children disentigrated to mounds of dust by Mrs Poggit. The Dreamlord comes back, and starts messing with their minds again. The Doctor exclaims there is only one person who hates the Doctor in the universe as much as the Dreamlord, therefore he knows who the dreamlord is. They are confronted by the old people, revealed to be Eknodine, with creatures in their mouths that turn people to dust. As Amy and Rory go back to the cottage, the Doctor witnesses a Eknodine turn a postman to dust,
Mrs Poggit - Look what comes out of my mouth! Die postman!
after some brief talking, he runs away. At the cottage, Rory has to hit an old lady to protect "chubs" (Amy). Inside Amy lies on the stairs, worried for the Doctor. Rory comes in the room, with a table to bar the door. "Don't worry" he says "you know the Doctor, he's Mr Cool!" Back on the streets, the Doctor is being put to sleep, but manages to hide in a butcher. Just escaping the Eknodines, he lets the chirping take him.

It is now freezing in the TARDIS, and she realises that she is choosing over the Doctor, the TARDIS dream, or Rory, the Leadworth dream. The all put on the "biggest crime in fashion" (pocho's) and get ready for the cold star. The Doctor devises a plan to split up, and the Dreamlord appears, agreeing and sending the Doctor and Rory back to Leadworth.

Rory wakes up, and, with effort, he drags the still sleeping Amy up the stairs into the nursery. He then takes a moment, staring at the baby cot, wondering if it was real. Now, the Eknodine have the TARDIS, and he is worried. The Doctor manages to escpae the butchers, and hijacks a van to help the people about to die from the Eknodine.

Back in the TARDIS, Amy is alone with the Dreamlord. He tells Amy of the true Doctor, and how he left her with the Dreamlord. She believes the Doctor trusts her. She believes she is the only girl in the universe to what the Doctor tells everything.
Dreamlord - So, how's your life, girlfriend?
Amy - Oh, well, I have to choose between two dimensions and between a Timelord, or a guy with a ponytail, so, nothing new.
He asks her what the Doctor's name is. He asks her to choose, to choose between the Doctor and Rory. "Amy's men" the Dreamlord says "Amy's choice". And then, he disappears. Amy bends down, looking at her "boys".
In Leadworth, the Doctor has gotten all the remaining townspeople to safety and makes his way to Amy and Rory's cottage. The Dreamlord appears in the van briefly, and asks the Doctor to choose, time to choose. The Doctor arrives, and is horrified to find the Eknodines destroying the cottage. Upstairs, Amy wakes in Rory's arms. Rory takes a brave move, and cuts off his ponytail.
"I was starting to like it" Amy says. The Doctor then manages to get in through the window (like the eleventh hour) and they all meet up again. All of a sudden, the baby is coming, and Mrs Poggit is getting through the window. She breathes on Rory, who falls in the corner and starts to die. He turns to dust, his final words "look after our baby".
Okay, not going to joke about this one, sob, sob!
Amy, is shocked, she has just lost the man she loves. "No ... come back ..." she says, as if not believing it. "Save him" she asks the Doctor, but he can't. "Then what, is the point of you" she says. She feels Rory's ashes, before standing up, holding the van's keys.

She goes outside, and into the van, knowing this is the dream since Rory was not there. After a breif stare-off with the Dreamlord, the Doctor follows. "I love Rory and I never told him" Amy says "and now he's gone". With that, they crash the van into the house.
The TARDIS, stone cold, all the levers frozen with snow and ice on them. And three humanoid figures on the floor. The Doctor, face frozen and cold, but his eyes still open. Amy Pond, scared for her boyfriend, yet her eyes still open. And Rory Williams, not knowing what is going on, yet his eyes still open. Amy and Rory clutch their hands together. "So, you choose this, well done, you got it right" the Dreamlord says, suddenly appearing. He warms the TARDIS up, and disappears, since "being defeated". Amy hugs Rory, and he says "well, this is nice, I like this, can you tell me what I did so I can use it in emergency's and maybe birthday's". The Doctor then reveals he is going to blow up the TARDIS, because actually, the Dreamlord made them choose between two dreams. An explosion, and then the screen goes blank.

Doctor - Look! Sparkly things!
The TARDIS, back to normal, the Doctor leaning on the console, and Amy Pond and Rory Williams comign down the stairs. He explains how it happened, a speck of psychic pollen fell into the time rotor (the middle collum thingy), heated uo, and made a dream-sate for all of them. He then frees it, blowing it through the TARDIS door. He then explains that the Dreamlord, was his dark personality, his being, just, bad! Amy then explains to Rory why she crashed the van, and how he died, and how she knew it was a dream because he wasn't there.
We all know the Doctor is really jealous of Rory right now.
Shocked but relieved and happy, Rory starts to kiss Amy, before the triplet of trouble heads off into the stars yet again.

This was a great story line, a great plot, a great everything!

I give it 5 out of 5 smiles!
:) :) :) :) :) / :) :) :) :) :)
So, some favourite phrases from this barrel of laughs:

Doctor - Whoah! You've swallowed a planet!
Amy - I'm pregnant
Doctor - Your huge!
Amy - Yeah, I'm pregnant
Doctor - Look at you when world's collide!
Amy - Doctor, I'm pregnant
Doctor - Oh, look at you both 5 years later and you haven't changed a bit apart from age, and, size. (Stares at Amy's stomach for a long while) "Are you pregnant?
WITH:
Dreamlord - Ask me what happens when you die in reality
(Silence)
Rory - What happens?
Dreamlord - You die, stupid, thats why its called reality!
AND:
Amy - Oh, my boys. My poncho boys. If we're gonna die, lets die looking like a Peruvian folk band
ALSO
Amy - AHHHHH! Okay, it's not coming.
Doctor and Rory - What?
Amy - (To the Doctor) This is my life now, and it just turned you white as a sheet, so don't you call it dull again. Okay?
PLUS:
Doctor - (Looking at Amy and Rory snogging) "So, well then, where to now? Or should I go down to the swimming pool for a few laps?"
Here we are, the end of another reveiw, oh and we have another double reveiw coming up, and a few spoiler words: A drill, a lizard race that the Doctor knows of, a fateful gun shot, and a brave woman named Naseryne!'

BYE!

"Vampires of Venice"

Hey-lo everybody!

What have you guys been doing this week?

Well, I know I am a little late on this one, since "Vampires of Venice" aired nearly two weeks ago now! Still, I hope you enjoy my review!

Now, this episode starts with a father (Guido) desperatley seeking a school for his daughter (Isabella) and so goes to Signora Rosanna Calvierri, and begs for a place in her school. Signora Calvierri asks her son to inspect Isabella, which he does with great care and the mother and son accept the girl. They then seperate Guido and Isabella and once the father is gone, show their sharp teeth to Isabella, who, of course, screams.
Doctor - Hello, Rory! Sorry to crash the party of anything, but your girlfriend just kissed me, thought you should know.
Back in London, the Doctor believes that Amy tried to come on to him because of seperation from Rory and the stress on time travel, so pops out of Rory's stripper cake on the night of his bachelor party. He then proceeds to tell everyone Amy kissed him, thinking it will be funny.

He takes the couple on a date to Venice, 1580, and they enjoy it but then, across a river, they see Guido try to talk to Isabella, who is surrounded by a group of hooded girls, but is rebuffed when Isabella doesn't remember him, and Rosanna's son Francesco pushes him away, showing his teeth in the process. Before Amy can say anything, the Doctor is gone. He goes and catches Guido, and the desperate man explains that he thinks there is something wrong with the school, exclaiming in worry that his own daughter didn't even remember him. The Doctor makes his way into the school, and is soon surrounded by a group of the girls, who he can't see in a mirror, and show him their sharp teeth. VAMPIRES! He manages to escape, but only just.

Doctor - Wait a minute, I'm getting a vibe here, Vampires, um, something to do with the moon, um, Twilight?, no, New Moon?, no, um, oh, um, oh I know! Eclipse!
Meanwhile, Amy and Rory have gotten over Amy's little seducing spree, and are having a good time until they hear a scream, they find a lady, drained of blood, and Francesco walking away. While Rory tries to help the woman, using his doctor skills, Amy chases Francesco, but nearly falls into the river, with Francesco nowhere to be found. She finds Rory and then the Doctor, and they have a excited jump around, "Vampires!" Amy says.
Amy - Okay, we should stop getting excited, Vampires could suck our blood out.
Doctor - Glass half empty much ...
"In Venice!" the Doctor says. They make a plan in Guido's house, begging for Amy to get into the school so she can unlock a door that will let the Doctor and Rory in, with Guido ready for a get-away. Guido thinks the Doctor IS Amy's fiancee, which angers Rory, but he goes along with the story of him being Amy's brother.

They are succesful, and Amy finds Isabella, who still haven't been fully turned into a vampire-girl. At night, she unlocks the door, but is confronted by a school guard and is taken to a green room, where Roasanna and Francesco and a few girls wait. Signora bites her on the neck, part turning her into a Vampire.
In another part of the school, Rory is confronting the Doctor, worried for Amy, and telling the Time Lord how he is so good at saving people that humans make themselves want to be like him, and put their lives on the line for him, which is all-over true. They are surrounded by Vampires, but the Doctor uses a lamp-stick to vend them off with light.
Doctor - MY light, is bigger than yours! DAMN right, it's better than yours!
Signora - Yes I know, I've got beautiful skin, oh yes, I moisturise
Suprised by the commotion Rosanna and Francesco are caught off balance, so Amy kicks Rosanna in the leg, which de-activates her cloaking device and reveals her as a fish-like spider, but, turning her cloaking device back on, Rosanna and Francesco leave Amy, who is freed by Isabella and the girls meet up with the Doctor and Rory, they manage to escape, but at the last minute, Isabella is pulled back. While Amy, Rory, and Guido head back to Guido's house, Rosanna and Francesco and forcing Isbella to walk a plank, who is fooled, thinking they expect her to drown. Once in the water, she is attacked, and dies (which I think is a bit too cruel for Doctor Who).
The Doctor confronts Rosanna head on, and finds out she is a creature from Saturnyne, a race with fish-like Vampire qualities, who use perception filters and that is why they can't be seen in mirrors. She pleas for help, saying her world was destroyed by CRACKS IN TIME, and that her and Francesco need the water and are going to sink Venice.

Signora - What an incredible nose you have, Doctor
Back at Guido's house, the Doctor tells the others of this and heals Amy's bite with his Sonic (a new thing for the new Sonic Screwdriver) and declares her all better. After a while, they are again attacked by the Vampire-Girls and the Doctor, Amy, and Rory escape, but Guido (greaving the loss of Isabella), blows himself (shouting "YOU WILL NOT SINK US! WE ARE VENICE!") and the Vampires up, using gunpowder in his house. The Doctor tells Rosanna of this, and she activates a device in her throne as he leaves. Clouds form ove Venice, and the process of sinking it begins.

What a funky way to sink Venice!
Meanwhile Amy and Rory are confronted by Francesco, and Rory grabs a broom and they fight broom to sword for a while. Just as Franceso (now in fish form) is about to jump on Rory, Amy uses a make-up compact and reflects sunlight on the fish, and Francesco explodes. Amy calls Rory and "dud", but as he walks up the stairs she kisses him, and then says "Now we help the Doctor".

Doctor - HEAVE! Humph! HEAVE! Humph! HEAVE!
At this point, the people of Venice are panicking, and running around while it storms and rains on them. The Doctor is climbing to the top of the School's bell tower. And once he does, he has a minute of deciding what to do before pressing the right button and deactivating it. Once the city is saved, Rosanna is about to walk off the plank. The Doctor tries to stop her, but she says "Can you carry the burden of another dead race under your head?" before throwing herself into the canal where her offspring wait.

In the aftermath, Amy asks the Doctor if Rory can stay on, and he accepts. Amy goes into the TARDIS saying "Life is good, I have a time-machine, a great outfit, and my boys!" "We are not her boys" Rory says, before adding "Okay, yeah we are". The Doctor stops him before he goes into the TARDIS, saying "Do you hear that?" but there is obviously silence. "Nup, I can't hear anything" Rory says, not noticing anything different. The episode ends by going through the key-hole of the TARDIS, making it look like a crack in the universe.


Great ep, well, um, maybe a bit over-the-top, but what do you expect? It's Doctor Who! I do wish though that they would go on withe the story of the cracks in the universe, and the story of Amy, but yeah.

I give it 3 smiles out of 5.
:) :) :)

So, yeah, next episode is good though, "Amy's Choice" and one word : PREGGARS!!!
See you soon!

Doctor Who Double Review!

Hey guys!
How are you all? School just ended here and I am stuffed!

Well, anyway, I am here for another reveiw of Doctor Who, double episode, "The Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone".
Doctor - Come on everyone, let's look into the camera!
Riversong came back this two parter, and what a thrilling ride it was!
It starts with a pair of super high high heels, walking down a corridor, and burning a symbol into some wood. 12,000 years later, the Doctor and Amy find a "Home Box" in a museum, with a message for the Doctor, "Hello Sweetie!" I Love Riversong's catch phrase.
RiverSong - I'm coming over for a visit, Doctor!
Then, proving RiverSong is the coolest chickareita in the world, she flies from the ship she was on and lands in the TARDIS. "Doctor? River? Follow that ship!"

Professor RiverSong, the most kinky girl in the universe!
Riversong successfully lands the TARDIS, and the Doctor imatates the sound the TARDIS makes when it lands (Quite funny). They realise that the ship has crashed and the Doctor "sonics" Riversong so the 20 troops and Father Octavion can teleport down. Riversong then asks the Doctor "what do you know, of the weeping angels?". They then see a 4 second loop of the Weeping Angels inside a ship, and the Doctor and Riversong explain how the Weeping Angels move when you don't see. Riversong and the Doctor walks outside and when Amy looks back at the screen, the Weeping Angel has moved, she tries to turn the screen off, it moves again, she tries the door to the ship, locked, and the Angel has moved, she calls for the Doctor, who is reading a book about the Weeping Angels.
Weeping Angel - RARGH! I can come out of your computer screen, watch out, humans of earth, 2010!
The Angel starts coming out of the screen, and the Doctor tells Amy not to look in the eyes, which she is already doing. Amy then freezes the Angel on a blank spot on the tape, and is set free. As they walk outside Amy exclaims she has something in her eye.

The group continues to explore the caves, and one by one, the soldiers are picked off. Amy still has something in her eye, and when she rubs it, dust comes out. Riversong lies and says, this won't hurt as she injects Amy, but it reallys does.
RiverSong - Let's point our torches at the Doctor and taunt him behind his back! Weee!
"You're so his wife" Amy quietly remarks. They continue to explore and suddenly realise that, since the statues are dead people, the dead people of the Aplans, the Aplans have two heads, so why don't the statues? Because they are all Weeping Angels!!! The group escapes, knowing that the original Angel was coming because it used the voice of a dead soldier, Bob, through the Doctor's comunicator. As the Doctor rushes past, Amy screams, her hand is stone! The Doctor convinces her that her hand is not stone, and the Doctor bites it. "Ew! Space teeth!" Amy exclaims.
The team reaches the space ship, but doesn't have the climbing equipment to reach it. The Doctor does something unbelieveble, and fires a gun, taking out the gravity globe, and the team jump!

Doctor - MY gun, is bigger than yours. DAMN right, it's better than yours.
They end up upside down on the spaceship, wathcing the statues transform into Weeping Angels, they are in trouble now! The Doctor jumps through a port hole, proving to Amy the weird ways of physics. Once all inside (The Doctor, Amy, Riversong, Father Octavion, and 4 troops), they realise they must switch the lights off to get past the door blocking their way. Weeping Angels start to fill the corridor, worrying!
Weeping Angel - Hehe! I bet we're really freaking them out now!
The Doctor tells Amy to set the Sonic Screwdriver to setting 4, but she says 10 for some reason. They mangage to turn the lights off, and get through the door without any damage. They then do this again and find themselves on a secondary flight deck.

Bolting all the doors, the Doctor says they have just 5 minutes until the Angels get through. Amy says 9, but pretends she didn't. The Doctor unlocks a big door, and they find a forest, but not any forest. An oxygen factory! "8" Amy says, but the Doctor doesn't notcie. Tree-Borgs suck in light and energy from stars and breathe out oxygen! "Have I impressed you yet, Amy Pond?" the Doctor asks. "Wow" she replies and adds "Seven!" on the end. The Doctor looks her close in the eyes, but is interupted by Angel Bob, talking through the speaker. The Doctor manages to make the Angel say comfy chairs. "Ha! Six" Amy replies at this. "Okay, Bob, here's the question, what have you done to Amy?" The Doctor asks. Bob explains that he has taken her over, and will kill her when she gets to one (the counting is to make her scared). "Doctor I'm five!" Amy excalims. "I mean, um, five. Wait, fine! I'm fine!" The Angels start laughing, because the Doctor hasn't notcied "it".

The Crooked Smile (nuff' said)
The Doctor then notices a crack in the space station wall, the crack from Amy's bedroom. He gets everybody out, and the inspects it with his Sonic. "Thats very not so good!" he says.
Doctor - No! My jackets too cool to be ripped apart!
He is then surrounded by Weeping Angels, who grab his jacket. He convinces them that the crack is the end of the universe, which it was, and manages to escape by taking off his jacket.

In the forest, meanwhile, Amy is on the ground, clutching her head. She has counted down to 3, and she is dying. The Doctor works out that to stay alive Amy needs to turn off the Angel in her mind, so she closes her eyes and stops dying.

The Doctor, Father Octavion, and River leave Amy with the 4 troops, who see a white light and one by one, go into it, leaving only Amy and one troop. The troop, tries to tell Amy that there were no other troops, seemingly forgetting them once they go to the light. He walks off, but leaves Amy a com-link, and they talk for a while until it cuts off, leaving Amy all alone, with her eyes shut.

Meanwhile, the other three find the first flight deck, and as River goes through, Octavion begins to be strangled by Weeping Angels.
Weeping Angel - My ... precious ... (poor Father Octavion)
The Doctor doesn't want to leave him, but Octavion tells the Doctor of how Riversong killed a man, a very good man, and so she is sentenced to prison. The Father tells the Doctor not to trust her, before, in a fit of tears, the Doctor leaves him to die.

The Doctor gets in touch with Amy and tells her to walk, to walk like she can see. River asks the Doctor how they stop the white light, and he tells her a big space-time event should shut it up for a bit, he is going to sacrifice himself. If you walk into the white light (which is gaining on the now only three) you would of never had been born.

Amy keeps walking, but is soon surrounded by Angels, she tries to walk past them, but, for probably the only time in history, you see the Weeping Angels move to kill Amy. As she is about to die, Amy is teleported to the first flight deck.
Doctor - So? Hmmmm? Can I have my jacket back now?
The Doctor then confronts the Angels, and activates the gravity of the ship once again, and the Weeping Angels are sucked into the white light, closing it up (for now).
They manage to get out of the wreck, and Riversong promises the Doctor to see him when "The Pandorica Opens" saying she remembers it well. I am pretty sure "The Pandorica Opens" is the title of the first episode of the series finale two parter, oh! Well anyway, Amy wants to go home, and reveals to the Doctor she is getting married, but somehow, for a weird reason, tries to seduce him and kiss him, saying when she was blind she needed him.
Amy - Kisse kisse. Oh, wait, you're not Rory.
He pushes her away, but realises that the date of Amy's wedding is the day that the white light is to be set on the universe. He then runs into the TARDIS, and whisks Amy away, determined to sort her out.
Loving both episodes, but a bit weirded out by Amy loving the Doctor, and how we saw the Angels move, but can't wait for Riversong to return in series finale!!!

I give "The Time of Angels" 3.5 smiles out of 5
:) :) :) :

I give "Flesh and Stone" 4.5 smiles out of 5

"Victory of the Daleks"

Hello my friends!

I'm here to have a look at the wonderful new Doctor Who episode "Victory of the Daleks", which aired last sunday.

My family is still on restrictions, so only around 5 photos.

Did you guys see this episode? Did you see the new daleks?

So, here we go ...
It starts with a cabinet war room, with Winston Churchill and a crew. News spreads that a fleet has been shot down and a woman breaks down. Winston then gives the order for them to bring out the ironside, and a Dalek figure is pushed across the table.

The Doctor and Amy arrive and Churchill greats them, and after a quick chat, takes them outside. He thens shows them some lazer rays that destroy some German planes.
The Doctor instantly recognizes the rays as Dalek tech, and rushes to the roof. A man named Bracewell shows the Doctor one of his 'ironsides", which turns out to be a dark-green Dalek, with instead of a identification plate, the Union Jack. It regards the Doctor with "I am your soldier", and, obviously furious, the Doctor confronts Chruchill, telling him the daleks are evil.
The episode continues with frequent discussions over the Daleks, and the Doctor realizing that Amy never knew about the Daleks from "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End", which confuses him. I think this has something to do with the cracks in the wall, and the Pandorica opening, which Prisoner 0 mentioned. After Bracewell explains how he made the Daleks, the Doctor confronts the metal creatures, hitting them and saying "I AM THE DOCTOR, AND YOU ARE THE DALEKS!". The Daleks regards this as a testimoney, and also reveal that Bracewell is a robot, and up in a ship, a third bronze Dalek replays it and uses it to power a "Progenator". The Daleks then teleport to the ship.

The Doctor follows them, and threatens to blow up the TARDIS with a Jammie Dodger. The Daleks say the Progenator does not recognize them, and will not produce more Daleks. But the Doctor saying "YOU ARE THE DALEKS" powered it up and it produces new Daleks, more chunky, longer gun sticks, weird eye stalks, deeper voices, and different colours!

These Daleks destroy the old ones, and send a beam of light towards London, lighting it up like a christmas tree at air raid time. Down on Earth, Amy, Churchill, and Bracewell use the Dalek designs to equip gun ships to go into space and take down the Dalek beam . They also establish a video link between the ship and them, being able to see the "New Company" as Amy puts it.



The planes are successful at destroying the beam while the Doctor escapes in the TARDIS, and, on the monitor, the new Daleks reveal Bracewell is a bomb, and to call off the planes or they will detonate him. The Doctor heads down to earth, and, with the help of Amy, convinces Bracewell that he's a human, making him remember a girl at the Post Office that he likes. Bracwell's bomb turns off, and right under the Doctor's nose, the Daleks escape.

The Doctor is devestated, but Amy convinces him that he did a good job by saving the earth, and he cheers up. They say goodbye to Churchill, after making Bracewell going after "Dorabella" (the girl), but Amy catches the Prime Minister trying to steal the TARDIS key. Churchill remarks "She's sharp, Doctor, almost as smart as me!"

The Doctor and Amy then have a chat infront of the TARDIS, and then leave. As the TARDIS dissapears, it reveals the crack in the wall that they had landed infront of. Hmmm?

Well, guys, episode was great! I am loving the new series! Lots of twists and turns, and with RiverSong coming back next ep, it will take another turn with the two-parter!
I give this episode 3 and a half smileys.
:) :) :) :

See you next Sunday!

"The Beast Below"

Hi!

It's Olly here, back for another Doctor Who review!


I know I am super late since the second episode of series 5 was aired last Sunday the 9th of May, but boy was it good! With 'Liz 10', to the Doctor and Amy landing in the Beast's mouth!

Oh, and also, I can't add any more pics (or only a few) cause my family have almost reached their download limit, so don't expect like 10 photos only 2 or 3! So, here I go ...
It starts off with a line of children and a Smiler telling them 'good job'. When a small boy called Timmy goes up, the Smiler's face turns angry, saying "Bad boy, Timmy" and he then walks out of the room. His sister, Mandy, is worried that he got a 'Bad boy', he then can't go on the normal elevator, but has to go in his own. The floor then gives way and this is all we see of Timmy for now.

It then goes to Amy flying outside the TARDIS (with it's dark blue paint job), and the Doctor holding her ankle. She sees a strange ship below her and asks the Doctor what it is, he brings her back in explains that it is 'Starship UK' or 'Britain in the Sky' as the Doctor puts it. On the monitor Amy sees a girl crying, and the Doctor says "Let's go!" Amy stares at the monitor, asking questions to the Doctor, who is now, on the monitor. A suprised Amy then walks out of the TARDIS, into a red street, with people on bycycles, and various stalls. She then meets the Doctor and he asks her to realise whats wrong with the ship, anything. She says bycycles, and he points to her in her 'Nighty'. "Oh my god, I'm in my Nighty!" Amy says. The Doctor then takes a galss of water and puts it on the ground, looking at it for a second.

A man behind them, speaks into a comlink about the Doctor and the glass, the man at the other end calls a woman in a red robe, who, once finished with the call, puts on a white mask and walks out of the room.

The Doctor then shows Amy the crying girl, finding out that nobody wants to know her, they all know why she is crying. He sends Amy after her and goes to "Stay out if trouble, which I do, Badly."

Amy finds the girl by a big circus tent named 'Magpie electricals' if you notice, it's also from "The Idiot's Lantern" where it is a old-fashioned T.V. shop. The girl is called Mandy, and had notice the Doctor and Amy following her. Amy asks her about the Smilers, and she replies that the Smilers look over Starship UK. Amy goes into Magpie Electricals and encounters a strange beast, and once she has crawled out, is confronted by men in black robes and is knocked out.


Doesn't that shop look like an ice-cream store from up here?
The Doctor, meanwhile, is in the negine room, and is confronted by "Liz Ten" who is acting like Princess Leia, saying "Help us Doctor, you are our only hope" She realises that the Doctor knows that there are no engines and after a quick chat, she hands the Doctor a tracking device to lead him to Amy.

Amy wakes up in a room, and four T.V.'s are infront of her. She is shown a series of images about the true nature of Starship UK, she had to choose either to protest and blow the Starship up, or forget what she's seen, and, instantly, on her own will, she presses the forget button. A door opens and Mandy is there, telling Amy that everyone chooses the forget button. The Doctor arrives and "Brings down the government" by pressing the Protest button, and by doind so, the floor opens up and the Doctor and Amy are sucked in.


Doctor - Um, os that the garbage disposal?
They arrive in a strange place, very red,
with waste and junk beneath their feet. The Doctor explains that it is "Kind of a tongue", shocking Amy. He uses the (now green) sonic scredriver to activate the vomit process and Amy and the Doctor are vomited out.

They land in a room, and find Liz Ten, who exclaims about seeing the doctor who was "Nighted and Exiled on the same day" by Vicki (Queen Victoria, the Series 2 episode 'Tooth and Claw'). She is revealed as the queen, Elizabeth the 10th.
Oh yeah! Queen with a gun!
She takes them back to her rooms and explains to them her problem, how she has been on this case for 10 years and the Doctor finds out more in one afternoon. They are confronted by Smilers and are taken to the London tower.


Doctor - Look! I can make the ugly thing screech!
In the tower, with the help of Liz Ten's assistant Hawthrone, they realise the ship is being powered by a "Star Whale", the last of it's kind, and Liz Ten, every ten years, has been choosing to forget over then abdicate (which would set the star whale free and the Uk would die), and let them torture the star whale. Liz Ten is faced with the same decision now. The Doctor reveals the Star Whale's screaming with the sonic, and gets angry and won't let Amy comfort him. He has to choose between the Star Whale or the UK, what was he going to do? But an hour later, Amy works it out, she sees Mandy and her brother Tommy patting a star whale tail, and then realises something. She then grabs Liz's hand and presses the Abdicate button.

The Doctor is shocked, but suddenly suprised as Hawthorne says the speed is encreasing. Amy explains that the Star Whale didn't need to be tortured, it wanted to help. It was very old, and very kind, and the very very last of it's kind, and so it couldn't just stand there and watch children cry as the world burned.
Later, Amy explains to the Doctor that he was very old, very kind, and the very last of his kind, because he couldn't stand there and watch Mandy cry for her brother. "Gotcha" she says as she squeezes him tightly.
At the end of the episode, the TARDIS gets a call from Winsten Churchill, who has a Dalek next to him, and it also shows the recurring patern of "the Crack fo the Wall" on the side of Starship UK. It also shows a shot of the Star Whale, which isn't really a beast, it is quite peaceful.

A big hunk of rock (nuff' said).
This episode was great, and I loved the idea of "Liz Ten" Some favourite lines from the ep, "I'm the bloody queen mate, and basically, I rule!" and "The Scottish wanted their own ship"

I give this episode 4 out of 5 smileys
:) :) :) :)
So, Daleks in the next ep! I give you a hint, multi colour!

See you next time, Doctor Who Lovers!

"The Eleventh Hour"

Hi fellow Doctor Who fans!

The first episode of Doctor Who Series 5 has been released in NZ last Sunday (2nd of May)!
I really enjoyed this one, and I love the new companion 'Amy Pond', but this new Doctor is very dark, darker then David Tennant, but this episode had so many jokes i fell off the couch laughing!



I will give all you that may have missed it a run through,


The Doctor is newly regenerated, and the TARDIS is in flames, crashing into the earth, but the Doctor manages to land the police box, in the garden of a around 5 year old girl, Amelia Pond.



At the time of the crashing, Amelia is praying to Santa to fix the mysterious crack in her bedroom wall, that she thinks is not an ordinary crack. Seeing the police box, she thinks Santa has sent her someone to help her, saying "Thank you, Santa" she takes a torch and goes to explore the police box. The Doctor pops out, saying he fell into the swimming pool in the library, Amelia is confused, but lets the Doctor (who has a craving for apples, and is quite shocked about it) into her house. She gives him an apple, but after one bite he hates it, then yogurt, hates that too, and then the Doctor is quite rude saying to Amelia "Your Scottish, fry something". She cooks him some bacon, he spits it out, then beans, it goes in the sink with the Doctor saying "bad, bad, beans", when offered bread and butter, he throws it into the backyard. He then decides he wants fish fingers dipped in custard,



and then remarks that the crack in Amelia's wall must be pretty scary. Once finished with the meal, the Doctor takes Amelia up to her room, and opens the crack in her wall with his sonic. It reveals a giant eye, and a deep voice. The Doctor then closes it up, and he and Amelia rush to the yard, he promises Amelia that he will be gone 5 minutes and to pack a bag. He then leaves in the TARDIS to no one knows where, and Amelia sits outside, waiting.

When the Doctor returns, it is morning and he goes to explore the house and is knocked out by a cricket bat.

When he wakes up, he is sitting in front of a dashing policewoman, with flaming red hair. He is handcuffed to a heater and the two start to debate. She says Amelia Pond hadn't lived in that house for 6 months. He then tells her to count the rooms on the second floor, and she does. But then he tells her to notice the door, the door out of the corner of her eye, and when she does, even though the Doctor tells her no, she enters the room. Inside she is shocked to find the sonic



screwdriver up on top of a crate. Then, she is confronted by a monster (prisoner 0), and instantly runs out of the room. She hands the Doctor the sonic, and he unlocks the handcuffs as she reveals that her uniform is a fake and that she is really a kiss-o-gram. They then escape and they are then locked out of the TARDIS, he exclaims that he crashed into the shed, when he crashed in Amelia's garden, then he licks it, and realises he has been gone 12 years, and then questions Amy about it until she screams at him "WHY DID YOU SAY 5 MINUTES!" She then reveals herself as Amelia Pond, now Amy Pond, the girl that bit 4 physcologists when they told her the Doctor wasn't real. They then realise that they have 20 minutes to save the world from the Atraxi, who will burn the planet if they don't find prisoner 0.
But Amy locks his tie in a car saying "Why should I believe you!" To prove he was real, he shows her an apple she gave him 12 years ago, with a smiley face on it, it was as fresh as the day he gave it to her, so she unlocks the car for him.



They then track down Amy's boyfriend who has a picture of the man and dog prisoner 0 is impersonating. The Doctor and Rory (the boyfriend) both realise that the man is in a hospital, in a coma. The Doctor tried to use his sonic to attract the Atraxi ship to prisoner 0 but it explodes up in the process.

While Amy and Rory head for the hospital, the Doctor goes back to Amy's friend's house and contacts a major call through all the world's major leaders. He tells them at 11:51, they should set all clocks back to 00:00, to contact all their workers, for them to contact everyone they knew and so on. He then hijacks a firetruck and goes to meet Amy at the hospital.

Amy and her Rory are being confronted by prisoner 0 in the form of a woman and two girls.



The Doctor arrives, and the two aliens confront each other. Just as the Atraxi are about to blow up the planet at 11:51, all clocks in the world turns to one number, 0. The Atraxi manages to track down prisoner 0, but as it starts to teleport, Prisoner 0 transforms into the young Amelia Pond, but the Doctor makes Amy think of what she saw in the room, the room out of the corner of her eye, and Prisoner 0 starts to impersonate itself. The Atraxi teleports Prisoner 0 away. But the Doctor calls them back, and after a quick change meets them on the roof.

He confronts the Atraxi ship, and warns it never to come to earth again.



The TARDIS key starts to glow, and the Doctor rushes back to the TARDIS to take a trip to the moon and back, promising Amy five minutes again, leaving Amy behind.

2 years later, the Doctor arrives. Amy is in her dressing gown, and is extremely pissed off with him. She wanted him to come back but he never came. He lets her in the TARDIS, and she sees the new inside design, quite wowing, I must say. She agrees to come with him, and near towards the end of the episode, a picture of the crack in the wall appears on the Doctor's monitor. Amy asks the Doctor if he can bring her back in time for 'stuff' and he agrees. Then a new green sonic screwdriver pops out of the TARDIS console, a new change for the Doctor.

As they leave, the screen changes to a scene of Amy's bedroom, and the Wedding Dress she has for her wedding tomorrow, I wonder what that 'stuff' she mentioned was about?


I loved this episode, new title sequence that I love, thought it had great thrills, a dark side, funny jokes, and a bit of mystery. This episode left me wanting more, needing to know what will happen next.

Great episode, I give it 4 smileys out of 5.
:) :) :) :)
