I wasn't overly impressed with the new Dalek design either, I thought they looked too fat. They have slots on their backs so may all connect to something else - possibly an emperor dalek or something. Presumably that would be revealed in the end of series two-parter and would have some connection with the crack.

I just watched s05e04 and my copy ended right as Dr. Who shot at the gravity globes.  Is that how it really ended or was my copy pre-empted?

I need to stop reading this thread

It would've been both funny and awful if they had introduced a pink Dalek who also happened to be a bit camp.

I havent seen the new season yet ( lifes been getting in the way).
I take it its gone downhill again?

[chekovsulu]

I think it's alright, they show Great Britain in space.  Not Scotland though, bunch of traitors

I like the new season a lot.

This season is the only season I've seen so far and so far I'm enjoying it...Amy certainly helps a lot.

I love the new season. I love the new doctor. He is not my favorite, he has still a lot of work to do, but it is going great for now.

[Skadi]

I'm going to watch an episode now. I'm still a couple of weeks behind everyone else

Just now there was a girl typing on her laptop in the hall outside where I work, and she had headphones on so I had to wave to get her attention.. and I?d stepped 4 steps backward to tell her I liked her laptop.. and she got a goofy giddy grin She has a white laptop.. but on the outside of it is a huge image of the TARDIS. So.. lol.. either it's a Who special limited edition laptop o_O ..or it's a sticker.. either way it's super cool

[AlienBC]

I think you're well ahead of me Skadi not seen any of the new season yet.

[dweez]

And I've only EVER seen the new season. 

[Skadi]

But I am the only one who got to see a cool fangirl with a beastly awesome Dr. Who laptop
..and I made her giggle that I'd noticed it

This is after watching episode 5 and refers to an episode of the 10th Doctor series.

I think the weeping angels are a bit ruined for me.  When they first appeared (in Blink), they actually scared me a bit, but the last episode kind of made them less scary.

Maybe I missed something, but why were the angels now killing people, rather than stealing their time on Earth? I suppose it's a bit like killing them, so it kind of works out.  Maybe it's not important

And if I recall correctly, that hot lady in 'Blink' - phwoar!!!

I mean seriously, phwoar!!!)

Has the TARDIS ever blown up before or is it the first time in the first episode?  I'm just wondering because the chameleon circuit wasn't fixed.  Maybe it was fixed, but the Doctor likes the police box design, or he could have forgotten to turn it on.

There was this one. (near the end of the clip)

but it turned out it was someone messing with their minds and it hadn't exploded after all. (still worth watching the clip to see Wendy Padbury's rear at the end). 

I'm just wondering because the chameleon circuit wasn't fixed.  Maybe it was fixed, but the Doctor likes the police box design, or he could have forgotten to turn it on.

He likes it looking like a police box, at least that's what the 9th Doctor told Rose in "Boom Town".

As for the angels, it was surprising that their powers seemed to have changed, but had they changed? They touched things in the "Blink" story that didn't go back in time such as a key and the TARDIS - it can't be just living beings that they can send back in time otherwise everyone they sent back would have been naked - so presumably they can either send people back in time or kill them (whichever one the plot requires to move the story along).
