Series 5, Episode 9 - "Cold Blood"

pixelburp

Part 2 tomorrow. Judging by the preview clips, it seems the budget for this one went into the second part - on all the SFX and the Silurian extras anyway.

Doctor DooM

I've actually been waiting for this post, it's become part of my weekly routine

Stark

Time's changed again tomorrow. Very annoying. Missed the start of last week's because it started at 6:15. At least 7pm will probably be more convenient for me.

Aoifums

Why more annoying time changes :mad: And it runs straight into the Eurovision which means I can't stay veging on the couch!

norrie rugger

oh crap

That was actually stunning

and a proper event with the crack too

Daemos

:eek:

Holy crap, did not see that coming!

Stark

Poor Rory. Swallowed whole by Amy's Crack

Next week's episode looks ****e tbh.

What a great ep! Didnt think it would be as good but it really was!

I agree with the above poster about next weeks episode. Well I thought that about this weeks and I was proved wrong :P

Killer_banana

Don't have much time so I'll keep this short, good episode, very good but

I am furious that they've killed off Rory. I'm guessing it's to do with whatever the Doctor does to cause the cracks and also Amy's history being changed, meaning she forgot Rory even though she's a time traveller probably has some plot significance but I'm still angry. He seemed to actually be gaining a personality and character traits now and I liked having two companion stories again, it was one of the things I missed from the classic series. I really really hope that this has major plot significance 'cause if it was needless I'll just be more angry. *fangirl*

As for next week

can we please have at least one non-earth adventure.

Manach

Who is Rory?

Chrussell2

I think the series is building up to a huge finale!

I'd put money that the doctor will get rory back! The bit were he pulled out the piece of the TARDIS was spine chilling!!!

Whats going on?!?!?!?!? Next weeks does look p*ss though

Banjo Fella

That was absolutely mind-blowing stuff. B-but...

I can't believe they could kill Rory off. For the second time within the space of three episodes, no less. I really hope the Doctor can undo the cracks somehow, and stop him from being erased at the very least... those few memories you saw of him and Amy were so sweet.

Also,

the TARDIS explodes? Or is caught in the cataclysmic wedding explosion? The cracks are getting extra confusing now, but even more fascinating along with it!

So annoyed that the screwdriver's magical gun-disabling ability conveniently didn't resurface in the last ten minutes.

And by the way... perhaps the piece of ''shrapnel'' is

an ordinary 1960s police box?

:eek:

nothing

LOVED this episode. I'm usually disappointed by the ending of two parters. But damn. DAMN. Amazing, and loved the twists!

The Doctor was about to use the screwdriver when rory tackled him out of the way, or at least that's what i thought.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Great episode... I had kinda suspected that something would happen to Rory and in this instance I'd be happy for a Deux Est Machina scenario to undo it... Great companion and worked well alongside both Amy and the Doctor...

Anyone else think the female Silurians were pretty hot? Even with the scales, I would...

Sleepy

Really enjoyed how Rory finally seemed to be getting some confidence in both himself and the Doctor this episode.

Let's just hope the confidence isn't totally misplaced!

.

The cracks are getting to an almost Lost-like level of intrigue and confusion, reckon the series finale is going to be brilliant!

Stark

They should have chucked Resnec into the crack after she shot him. That would have solved everything.

erm.......... I think there comes a point when a person has to ask themselves... do I watch too much Sci-fi? When you start fancying reptile aliens I think you've crossed the threshold! I recommend some sex and the city, and desperate housewives

sex and the city and desperate housewives??? You're having a laugh right? 2 worst shows in the history of television...

Banjo Fella

I think you're likely to become attracted to equine aliens instead of reptilian aliens after watching Sex & The City.

Or y'know *cough* there's some stuff on the internet you could look up...

So many people are saying Rory will come back but I cna't see it happening. I really hope he does but for some reason it just doesn't seem likely to me. Then again I don't think it's the last we've seen of the engagement ring and we know the cracks and finale involves their wedding day (or what would have been their wedding day) so maybe. I just hope if he is brought back that's it's in a credible way.

Also, not sure why but I have a feeling

Jenny

will show up soon but I have no basis for that. It's just a feeling.

Lol. That's right it would have.... Why didnt the "brilliant" Doctor think of that?

Pittens

Warning this is a real spoiler. it aint speculation:

So many people are saying Rory will come back but I cna't see it happening.

He is, he is credited in the last episode. That could be a flashback, or a dream, but read into it what you will.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I read that as 'this is not a real spoiler, this is speculation'

*sigh*

I am surprised by the positive reactions to this episode. I found it quite boring and samey that the humans are bad and act badly to stop world peace. It was done better the first time when the Brig nuked the Silurians at the end of the Jon Pertwee episode.

I was wondering before the episode what would be happening with Rory as he was never pushed as a real companion. It seems he was merely a "red shirt" to push the crack arc along a bit.

For me it was a very unsatisfying episode the only good point was the bit of shrapnel from Amy's Crack(as another poster put it).

BaconZombie

I don't think he

is dead!!!

One of the last things he said "Were am I, We were just on the Hill...

Edit:

Looks like I heard that part wrong:

534
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,720
We were on the hill.
I can't die here.

Yeah but as the Doctor said some moments are fixed and can't be changed but others can. Also when they returned to the hill it was only 'future Amy' standing alone, for all intents and purposes, Rory's future self had never been there.

Why do people put stuff that happened in the episode in spoilers?

It makes the thread very annoying to read.

Surely people come into this thread having seen the episode and only future plot lines (not speculation) should be in spoiler tags.

Thought it was a good episode. Don't think Rory is really dead. Very interesting about the crack, looks like that's building up to an epic story.

Next weeks episode looks meh. Why does the Dr with a Tardis and a whole universe out there in his hands always end up in contemporary earth and usually in Britain? Guarantee next weeks episode has Van Gogh with a British accent.

Man I hate seeing so much spoilered text and wanting to look at it but knowing I shouldn't. Still at least it's better than reading it 'accidentally' :rolleyes:
