The solution to weeping angles:

Ah, but it depends on the observer does it not, so even with mirror glasses on, as soon as you blink the WAs are quantum unlocked and can move.

nope, because they'd be observing themselves

OK. Though where's the evidence that it can be a reflection of the same WA, rather than an actual and different weeping angel being required - as in the Sally Sparrow episode. (May have missed something).

... but only if the mirror surfaces are perfect, in which case you wouldn't be able to see a thing through them.

In the old days we could simply specify any well-known long staircase.

one of the few TV programmes that bring smy whole family together...decision now is do we save them up and have a huge fest or do we spare ourselves the pain of trying to avoid spoilers and just watch them as they air....or soon after

tiermat · « **Reply #1486 on:** 30 August, 2012, 03:56:32 pm »

From what I can see there is initially only 5 episodes (then a break, then a Xmas special, then more episodes next year). IIRC ep5 is when Amy leaves/dies and the Xmas special is when the new assistant is revealed.

TimO · « **Reply #1487 on:** 30 August, 2012, 05:46:26 pm »

I assume you've all been watching Pond Life? If not, here are the links:

... Just one more tomorrow, and then Saturday the real deal.

There is of course, also the Trailer for Episode 1.

(Apologies for the tinyurl-ing of the YouTube links, but I had to do that to stop the forum from embedding the videos, and making a stupidly long post).

Well, that'll be Cardiff then. All of space and time to choose from, and he goes to Cardiff.

If it is, they should have no problem getting there if they follow the directions (these signs are all over the place in the Cardiff Bay area).

Well the last episode of Pond Life has gone up, which whilst it has it's humorous elements, is a bit darker than the previous ones.

You cannae no like Daleks!

TimO · « **Reply #1493 on:** 01 September, 2012, 10:21:14 am »

I like Daleks, but for a while, they were rather over using them. We have had a bit of a rest from the for a bit, so I think bring them back for the first Episode of a new series is OK.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #1494 on:** 01 September, 2012, 10:43:00 am »

I'm still quite bored of them. I'd be quite happy not to see them for another couple of years.

TimO · « **Reply #1495 on:** 01 September, 2012, 12:59:26 pm »

From a production point-of-view, they were probably quite an expensive bit of kit to have manufactured, and stored, so to an extent they have to use them, to get their moneys worth.

Yes, it would be nice if every episode had a new type of monster in it, but the Daleks are assembled already, so the most significant cost of using them is probably the guys who have to be inside them. If you've got some new random humanoid alien, you'll have to pay for the actors who are dressed up, and the special effects artists who have to do any prosthesis and make-up that they'll need.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #1496 on:** 01 September, 2012, 08:11:07 pm »

Awesomesauce!

David Martin · « **Reply #1497 on:** 01 September, 2012, 08:27:16 pm »

You'd think that someone who could hack a Dalek IT system, rig goodness knows whatever and so on, could manage to make a souflee in a microwave.

bobb · « **Reply #1498 on:** 01 September, 2012, 08:29:56 pm »

What happened to Soufflé girl anyway? Is she dead?

David Martin · « **Reply #1499 on:** 01 September, 2012, 08:33:15 pm »

Yes.
