Yeah that was my favourite part as well. Made him seem crazy, but serious/passionate again. Yeah the brother segment was terrible, mainly due to the poor acting imo. I liked the zombie cycle as well, but thought it could have been explained more. Pretty sure if I found out I was one of the zombies trying to kill me, I'd want to know more about it.

Get on FIFA you bitch ass punk lover :3

Here is my review on Saturday's episode:

Firstly, I think it's fucking awesome that they have finally made one of the longest serving and nostalgic villains actually threatening. For too long were the Cybermen just a mockery, as you could outpace them with walking speed. Now they have emphasised on the ability to upgrade themselves, and have special features like incredible speed and some smart tactics. However, yesterdays episode was just too "comical" again for me. Claudia laughing when potentially dying because of like 500 Cybermen just didn't sell it, and I wasn't a big fan of the environment they chose to have this episode in with one of the most famous villains.

Though, this is definitely the best acting I have seen of Matt Smith. I am a huge fan of Matt Smith, but he just has some horrible luck (bad co-actors, and bad writing). He was simply incredible in this episode when he had to portray himself as The Doctor and the Cyber Planner (think it was that) - very good. Overall, this episode was pretty good because of the villain, but it seemed a bit of the waste for a Cyberman episode. Next weeks episode looks amazing though - name of the doctor is revealed! Not sure how I feel about that yet though however.

:harvey:

American TV is usually so much better than British though, I'm trying to pluck up the courage to watch. :

Btw remember my cousin I told you about going to some shindizzle as Jesse? Well I later found out that at the party she made everyone take the "meth" she had, honestly I'm concerned, what the hell have I done to my family?

Spoiler

Yeah they were candy rocks, just cause she's from Boro doesn't automatically mean they were real.

Just watched "The Name of The Doctor" and I'm fucking impressed. There are still annoying plot holes which have been ever common within the new writers. I never knew overcoming The Doctor was as easy as going to his grave and simply rewriting his past. He would have come across many "bad guys" who were willing to die to ruin his existence. I'm not a fan of the way time travel is now possible in dreams, but giving no explanation. That's WWE-like lazy booking to the max. I didn't actually know Matt Smith was leaving, and I'm really sad that he has. Episodes like this are great though as you see the more serious/emotional side of Doctor Who instead of the poorly written attempts of consistent comedy which become very tedious. I'm incredibly thankful that we didn't find out The Doctor's name, as that would have been nothing but an anti-climax. Furthermore, Vastra, Jenny and Strax deserve their own spin-off series; they are simply magnificent to watch.

Matt Smith has come to his own in this season, and if it wasn't for what I call poorly writing, he would be in the same sentence as David Tennant when it comes to potential GOAT doctors. He played the youthful but brave role incredibly well, and when he was serious he was incredible to watch, and he even made comedy work. I'm unsure what to make of the new Doctor being so old, but it makes a pleasant change and change is good. His voice is also awesome. I hope they actually write Matt's death and regeneration and not simply move on with John. I'm actually fascinated by the potential of John's character, as he is the one who "brought shame to The Doctor's name", so they might be heading down a new road with him. Is this the last incarnation of The Doctor though? I hope not. Luckily, with Doctor Who, they can simply rewrite and put in some querky scenes to change any "certainties".

Either way, fantastic episode. Doctor Who has been back on form the last two episodes.

Hasn't Smith said that he is going to play the doctor until at least 2014? I remember a press conf were he said he had signed a contract into 2014.
