The Impossible Astronaut

[Miss Marinara Sauce]

So, what did you guys think of the first episode of Series 6?

Personally, I thought it was a great way to start the series off with a big bang (if you'll pardon the pun). A bit confusing at times, but still a great episode. And what a cliffhanger! I don't think I can wait for a whole week! gonk  

[ezactron14]

the plot was much clearer if you rewatch it without the commercial (there were too many and they disrupted the plot). I really liked it; it seems as if there will always be wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

Honestly if that was "limited" commercial interruption I would hate to see unlimited.

But it really was a good episode. It had me unable to look away. However usually I can feel a cliffhanger coming. this left me thinking "wait, what? that was it?" But overall it was amazing.

The Doctor's death scene was brilliantly done. Shooting it from that distance showed just how far away and helpless everyone was.
and i seriously think this alien threat ranks up there with the Weeping Angels and the Vashta Nerada [shameless begging for Arena votes] Last day to vote guys. Help me out. My Submission [/begging]

It wasn't bad for a first episode of the season, but it felt more like the first of the two part season finale. Though I cant wait for the next.

I thought it was an excellent episode, although apparently, according to the BBC, it was actually one of the worst series opening episodes, in terms of viewing figures stressed

I LOVED heart the episode, but...
it's too early for a two-part episode (maybe it's just me).

P.S. Is the intro always going to have Amy Pond do a mini-narrative of how she met the Doctor and who he is? I think it is kind of stupid. We already know who he is and how he met her...WE ARE DOCTOR WHOVIANS.  

[SaphiraStar]

I think it was just the Americans that got the BS and it better be the last time too.  

[ezactron14]

That opening mini-narrative really irritated me. I enjoyed the episode's narrative and the episode, but it lacked the epic-ness that typically accompanies premiers.  

[Maeko-Hana]

I quite liked Amy's narrative, even though I've been a who fan for ages upon millenia, i thought it was nice...and helpful to people new to the show, or those who didn't see the last season.

Those monsters are terrifying, they put the weeping angels to shame!

I can't wait for part 2! I really wish it had been a 2 hour premiere episode, instead of a 2-parter...too many questions and curiosities.  

[Kalzonie]

I on the who enoyed it. But I did guess Amy was going to have a baby even before she started being sick.  

[geekwho]

Amy isn't pregnant to me because River Song was experiencing the same sickness after viewing and forgetting the aliens.
Also, I am for sure that the room that River Song unlocked is the same one as the one in the episode "The Lodger". Perhaps the girl in the space suit is just bait like that episode.

1st point: Yeah, there are a lot of people who are new to the show who needed that little narration. There was a lot of hype for this season, so there's bound to be a lot more people.

2st point: They are pretty scary, but I still like the weeping angels better. They do have the same sort of context though, don't they. That they rely on sight.

3rd point: Yeah, it would have worked better as 2 hours, it just didn't have enough in it for me for 1 episode, but Moffat wants us to be in suspense, and so we must be

1st point: I'm sure she is, she probably checked. I don't think she thinks she is because she's just been feeling a bit sick. I think she only remembered to tell him because she still subconsciously remembers the monster telling her to

2nd point: It's the same sort of thing, but not exactly the same. Wasn't the one in "The Lodger" suppose to be a TARDIS sort of thing? I guess this is one two, but not the same one. And if it is one of them, it has a crew (the monsters), it doesn't need a pilot.

This episodes' ending jumped the shark. And I can guess what she will be/was/is.

actually they used the exact same set so i can only assume it's the same thing.

are we going to talk about part two here or start a new one for that?

Discuss it here is my vote.
