When I heard that this week, it made me think the exact opposite.

Just seemed a very strange time to announce that when the series was bound to end with them in very real danger, and realistically the ONLY time in a series that the assistant or a Doctor may actual die / regenerate.

My immediate thought was, red herring, and she's looking in a bit of bother at the moment.

That was my hope. But, I also think they weren't entirely sure that Matt Smith and/or Karen Gillan would work out, so they only signed them for one season, and now it's almost over they have decided the show was successful enough to continue with them, and the announcement is being made now because the deals have only been struck now.

Still, apparently Liam Neeson signed on for three Star Wars films. Or so my friend's ex-boyfriend told me when there were rumour qui gon would die in phantom menace and he didn't want them to be true (I think more because he wanted to be unspoiled than any great affinity for liam), so who knows, perhaps it still is a red herring, and she has signed on to let her death scenes be re-used, or perhaps she will be in flashbacks, or she'll be taken away and finding her will be a big motivation for the doctor going forward.

According to the Mar/April DWM the second series with Mat and Karen was commissioned before the series even aired.

I think Matt is on a 3yr contract. Not sure about Karen tho.

Oh and as for the masters ring it was clearly explained who took it as it had some of his dna or whatever to bring him back as he had a cult following and the master being the master prepared for his death/resurrection.

A friend just highlighted to me a couple of lines from previous in the series:

"Amelia Pond, there's something you better understand about me, because it's important, and one day, your life may depend on it: I am definitely a mad man with a box"

"Didn't anyone ever tell you there's one thing you don't put in a trap. If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there's one thing you never ever put in a trap... me"

So clever. I love moments like these that hint at something later to come.

Bit disappointed with that.

LOVED the time travel stuff. First half of the episode was superb.

Fizzled out though. Shame.

Another Peter Pan ending.

I do believe in Fairies, I do, I do.

*Boom* magic reset switch.

Poor.

same old same old - good start coupled with the excellence of last week, followed by a shit sentimental ending where everyone returns to normal and nobody remembers what happened

interesting pointers to what might happen in the next series though - river songs comments about him finding out soon who she is, and that the reason as to why the tardis is getting drawn to amys house still hasnt been solved

Indeed.

Throw in the fact that there have been so few episodes that have been totally brilliant, plus the lack of anything particularly big happening (have they already brought back every decent enemy?) then it sums up this series for me.

Promised much, but didn't really deliver.

Shame really - can't even blame it on the change of Doctor (Smith has made a pretty solid start!)

Still, I guess it's only disappointing because of the previous high standards they've set. If it wasn't for that, I'd still think it was excellent TV. Certainly better than most things that are on.

Looks like a 2 series arc doesn't it. Lots of questions about why all of that happend in the first place to be answered in the next series I think.

I liked it. Back when they introduced the idea of time being re-written (in the weeping angels episode) I assumed there would be the reset, everyone lives happily ever after kinda deal, so that didn't annoy me.

I think River Song is The Rani

After that episode, this looks more likely than ever, unfortunately. Can't really see the point of The Rani but there you go......

Still, at least I can still hope Omega is the BIG big bad next season :)

Someone mentioned some theory about there being two Dr's, as he keeps changing the colour of his tie between scenes, blue to red, red to blue?!
