I felt so proud of myself when the Doctor was like "but where do you get milk for the souffles?" Usually I completely miss things like that before they're pointed out, but this time I was like "where is she getting ingredients for that?!" from the moment her "stranded" situation was made clear. I R SMURT.

Also, I'm really curious as to how this is going to play out. Miss Souffle was played by Jenna Louise Coleman, who was announced to play the Doctor's next companion, after Amy and Rory leave this season. BUT SHE'S A DALEK AND NOW SHE'S DEAD. HOW'S THAT GONNA WORK OUT? [:O]


Also, it was very heartwarming when Amy and Rory reconciled, but honestly... I was a bit happy they had split up? I always thought Amy treated Rory horribly, and while I don't like him having his heart broken or anything, his being "free" to move on and find happiness elsewhere was something I thought should happen.

I have to admit that I kind of liked the idea of a Rory/Amy split up as well, though in the beginning I was frustrated that there was no explanation about it. And hey, the reasons were completely legitimate... Amy giving Rory an option to go and find someone to have children and a family with is a big thing for her.

But at the same time I love them together. Love.

I caught on with the milk thing as well! Not to mention that her pod looked a bit too homey and not quite what something that a person who'd been stranded for a year in a single room would be working with. I mean, come on. Where was the milk? Where was the bathroom? How would her dress have been that pristine without a way to do laundry? Where was any kind of potable water? Her whole premise had me suspicious from the beginning.

As for how she becomes a companion... Well, time travel would be the only natural answer. Perhaps that wasn't a fixed point in time and it can change. Maybe he takes Oswin away from some point in time way before this episode takes place and thus she technically never becomes a Dalek? Then she gets to see the stars after all!

Though I wonder how River is going to react to Oswin when they eventually cross paths... because I can see a rather interesting relationship between the Doctor and Os...

I wondered that too, but... If the Doctor goes back in time and stops her from being a Dalek, then she can't help the Doctor on the planet and then they might die there, and he'd definitely never meet her. Wibbly!

The only way I could think of the Doctor going back and saving Os would be if he went to the point RIGHT AFTER he left the room initially and took her then. But of course, she's still a Dalek then. BUT!!! Have we seen any production photos of Jenna Louise Coleman filming while standing next to Matt Smith? MAYBE HE HAS A HUMANDALEK COMPANION?


Another theory that I've seen floating around is that she's Jenny, the Doctor's daughter. I don't think that could be, though. The Doctor was immune to the nanocloud thing because of his regenerative properties. Jenny had those too, so I don't see how she could have been turned into a Dalek. Not sure why people are thinking she's Jenny, except maybe because she's really smart? But it seems to be a prevalent thought in the Whosphere. I can't blame people for wanting any person they see to be Jenny. It'd be a huge disappointment if we never heard from Jenny again. But I'd be annoyed if Os was Jenny, honestly.

Also, I THINK the issue of the Pond's marital strife was covered in that Pond Life webseries, but I haven't watched it yet, so I'm not sure.

*snrk* at the whisk comment. [lol]

I guess it was just that her illusion was so strong that it included things that weren't perfect. Or maybe she was bad at cooking before becoming a Dalek, so she just remembers that.

So I saw someone mention something somewhere else that got me thinking. In the beginning, there are Daleks trying to get into Oswin's "escape pod." Later we find out her room is indeed next to a room full of Daleks... but she says "they don't wake up for anyone (except the Doctor)." So there is only one room attached to Oswin's (as we saw on the map), but the Daleks in it DON'T WAKE UP. So the person who pointed this out was wondering what Daleks were trying to get into her room in the beginning.

BUT I FIGURED IT OUT! Those weren't real, corporeal Daleks. That was the Dalek part of her mind trying to "get in." Her boarding up the door was like her trying to keep her Dalek side out so she could stay human inside. Holy craaaap.

Oh wow! I hadn't noticed that. I saw some people mentioning a chair, but I didn't know what they meant. Okay, yeah, I can see why people are thinking that now. Though you might be right, it might just be prop recycling.

Really cruel prop recycling.

Troll Moffat. [illgetu]

I remember, two minutes in, saying "of COURSE the season starts with Rory getting shot."

When the Dalek was saying "EX---! EX---!" and Rory was like "eggs? Eggs? What, are those eggs? Is this an egg? Is this what you want?" I was literally saying "OH MY GOD, RORY, YOU DUMB SHIT" at my computer. [rofl] I love Rory, but holy crap, he was being dumb. Touching Daleks, pushing them... Derp.
