They don't have logos anymore...

Regardless, I adore the current Cyberman look, so I'm not eager to see them go back to the Silver Foil. Though it would be cool to see a Cybermen "convention", with all the various incarnations of the Cybermen in the same room.

Still,that is all they changed. To me,the Cybermen have lost the organic feel to them that made them so scary. (Which is why the face-plate opening Pandorica Cyberman was freaky to me) Now, they just look like robots. But they are very awesome looking robots.

I can't WAIT!! I just better laugh A LOT in this episode. Tired of my eyes weeping every week.

It's so weird though. I'm not getting weepy so much for the story, but what it brings out within me. It's sort of like the story is a catalyst for things that I keep buried inside to come out.

I'm sure this episode coming out will be packed with thrills so I think the kleenex can be put away...finally.

Interesting. Especially the last one.

ooohh. Very exciting.

Last Time On Battlestar Galactica

Oops wrong Forum

Last time with Craig n Friends it was very Funny.

This Time its the Doctor Meets a shop. I think it would be hysterical if he sees a Doll of himself or a tardis on the shelve and makes a comment about the prices or likeness lol

I'd like to see that.

The toy could explain how Rory and Amy are living so well these days. Amy somehow got the raggedy Doctor toy line off the ground.

AMAZING!

The episode itself lacked the Cybermen, really, but I didn't mind. It was good to see Craig again! There were lots of scenes that made me giggle.

Nice cameo for Rory and Amy, too!

But the end... was... AMAZING!! I cannot wait! I really cannot! SQUEE SQUEE SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I will watch this later tonight. Then have my say.

Well, not counting the ending, this was a pretty unremarkable episode to me.

When he says he is dying 'tomorrow', I kept thinking, it can't actually be tomorrow, as in....this episode doesn't actually take place in April 2011, it's got to be after that (based on the Amy/Rory bit, for starters) and he goes back in time at the end of this episode. Did I miss a bit where the date was revealed?

And, when it comes to River, this takes place after she FIRST becomes 'River Song', right? That's what I'm guessing....

It would be 'tomorrow' in the Doctor's time line I would imagine, not literally tomorrow.

And yeah, this is definitely just after Mels renames herself.

Hmm...I wonder if she loses her memory of this in the future or if she still remembers it..

I loved this episode! Best one yet for me!

I would say, based on her behavour in The Impossible Astronaut (assuming she's in the suit), that she forgets. Shooting one past's self doesn't tend to lead to picnics and rainbows...

That's what me and CGren123 suggested. Because if you remember, River shot at the Astronaut as it walked away... Even though the Astronaut is River. But I'm sure that'll be answered next week.

I thought it was a good episode, not as great as I was expecting it to be. I was hoping there'd be more Cybermen action, so that was disappointing, but it had great lines and was entertaining.

I think the ending made the episode for me, just WOW. Although, it's left me with a lot of questions.

A wonderfully crafted romp that was slightly ruined by the Plot Monster rearing its head. This would have been a wonderful stand alone tale, but serves as a pleasant lead up to the finale.

Really, this episode was less about the Cybermen and more the (re)introduction of the Cybermats to new fans.

I think the 'conclusion' to the cyberman story was my least favorite thing about it. The resolution to Night Terrors was bad enough, now we get another one along the same lines...

Eh, I didn't mind it to be honest. The emotional punch of trying to be a good dad but hearing his baby crying broke through Cyberman condition and backlashed into the other Cybermen because they were converting him into a Cyber Controller.

Beats the "Screaming and Exploding Everything" resolution from The Next Doctor. Though a multi-department shop like the one in the episode, I am a touch disappointed they didn't reintroduce the Cybermen's weakness to gold with a full Jewelry Department.

That having been said, I liked the way they did it. Though I wish ol' Scarface had survived. Be nice to get a few more reoccuring baddies in this series.

Some good stuff. I liked the 2nd Doctor's: "Oh, you redecorated... Don't like it" line. The Cybermat was cool.

Unfortunately, I still had to vote Atrocious, and that's the first time I've felt that way about a Who episode since "Fear Her." I guess i just had my hopes up to see a showdown with the Cybermen and I felt I got robbed. Very disappointing. Even my love for Matt Smith's hijinx couldn't save this one for me.

I loved this episode.
