One hell of an episode. I pretty much agree with the reactions above

 

[Tennyo]

Why are there Angels in Manhattan spoilers on the Rose Tyler tag on Tumblr?

It's bad enough I know what happens in Doomsday before I see it, can we not spoil everything that happens to the 11th Doctor as well?

I mean like, wtf does Rose even have to do with this episode?

Spoiler: Angels Take Manhattan

Well, that was a bit of a damp squib of a leaving. You can't go back to 1938 to get them Doctor? Why not get them from 1939? What? Then you wouldn't have seen the grave with their names on? Didn't seem to matter when Amy's name suddenly appeared on it. Or when you went back to visit van Gogh because you saw something in a painting, and then afterwards found it wasn't.

Honestly, I hope some of the future companions have a better leaving. After all this for so long that Rory and Amy were considering choosing a life without the Doctor... well, they didn't have any choice (except Amy twice stood by her choice from Amy's Choice). It made me think about all the companions from the revived series, and only two have decided to leave: Mickey and Martha. All the others have either had things happen that forced them to leave, or been abandoned by the Doctor (Adam from Dalek and The Long Game, and Jack Harkness).

Ah well. So long, Last Centurion and the Girl Who Waited. It was nice knowing you.

Turns out the Melody Malone book is coming out as a e-book: http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2012/09/melody-malone-270912171508.html

I think the Doctor left them in the past because Amy's letter said they were happy there. Let's face it, this isn't the first time something like this has happened either - it's still not exactly clear why the Doctor couldn't have visited Reinette one last time after finding out she died, either. There are probably other examples I could think of, as well, if I weren't half-asleep at the moment.

I'd happily accept that as a reason, if he hadn't said before reading that

Spoiler

that he wouldn't be able to see them again.

And I think the thing about the Doctor not liking seeing people get old must be a reaction to Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart's death. Ten seemed delighted at seeing an older Sarah Jane (and flirted with her). Eleven had no problem with seeing also seeing Sarah Jane and an older Jo Grant in SJA: Death of the Doctor. And hey, he was willing to dig the Brig out of his retirement home in The Wedding of River Song.

To be fair, though, the Brig did shoot a world-eating demon while he was in retirement.

Rule One: The Doctor lies. I'm not going to put too much stock in it without a more detailed explanation than we were given. For all we know they might even be back for the anniversary, though who knows for sure. They haven't really announced who's returning yet, have they?

And I think the thing about the Doctor not liking seeing people get old must be a reaction to Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart's death.

This is quite possible.

Spoiler: Angels Take Manhattan

In regards to The Doctor not seeing them again:

He mentioned that they created a fixed point in time, and that the possibility of him removing them from there would break the loop that they created. One, he can't drop the TARDIS in there, and two, it's also completely policied by Angels, so there's a crazy risk in going there to begin with, especially if it presents the possibility of breaking the fixed point in time that they created, the Angels will do everything possible to stop it. River specifically mentions that their actions there could have burned New York off the map.


Also- I'm hoping that they detail how he breaks the news to Rory's dad.

I assumed he was just referring to the moments where the Ponds were dropped back in Manhattan. Amy mentioned in her letter that they lived out full and happy lives, which leads me to assume that they were not in the Angels' clutches the entirety of their lives. That wouldn't be a full and happy life. There's also the fact that the paradox Amy and Rory created at least theoretically should have wiped the Angels' hotel out of existence.

Anyway, the Melody Malone book actually does exist:

so like

i've never really watched dr who but i happened to turn it on and this 'angels take manhattan' ep was on so i was like okay cool

little did i know i'd get punched right in the KOKORO MY GOSH i don't even know these characters or the universe or wtf is really going on and that still riddled me with feels

tl;dr i clearly need to watch this show

 

[Tennyo]

Hey I just had an idea.

Doctor Who Livestream from the beginning?

y/y?

Granted, once we catch up to where my roommate and I are we'd have to stop and wait.

I'll host.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I would definitely be down for this. It would be even cooler to have a Who Classic livestream after that was done, since I haven't seen more than about twelve serials of that.

And yeah, this show is amazing, but be prepared to be emotionally devastated on a pretty regular basis. The show is an emotional rollercoaster. I still don't think I'm completely recovered from the end of "Doomsday".

SPEAKING OF DOOMSDAY

I just finished the second season and now here is a video to express how OTP the Doctor and Rose are.

 

[Super Mario]

So much sadness seeing it. :' [ Fuck those time locked loops, I'm sure he could've done something. But I think this will justify a good enough reason for them to leave. We'll see how the new companion goes.

All of Last Season was about fucking with a fixed point in time. It's entirely possible to go do it. It seems that the new companion will also be fucking with fixed time points.
It's entirely likely for the Doctor to go back and visit them later. I'm rather expecting he has to at some point. I figure the 'afterword' was there more for the Doctor's immediate benefit rather than 'I never saw you again.'

Hey I just had an idea.

If we're doing it from 'The Beginning' I will have to host. I have the Beginning.

That one actually made me cry. The SJS credit was the perfect touch.
