[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 391387, member: 8"] The mid-season premiere episode :re: brings the Tardis trio to pre-Third Reich just when Hitler is about to be assassinated by a FANTASTIC VOYAGE team inside a giant robot disguised as a human. And that's just the opening scene. Hitler himself is immediately shoved into a cupboard - which conveniently sweeps the kids-unfriendly Nazi theme under the carpet - and then it turns out that Amy's irritating "ain't I adorably anarchic?" friend Mel is Amy and Rory's daughter MELody. We're getting a more clear picture of Melody/River as the Tardis Child, the girl in the astronaut suit and the fixed point in time of the Doctor's death. Regenerated Melody continues to be irritating - she's not as cool as her alter ego River Song - and I think the most interesting stuff is everything that happens inside the robot which has become a copy of Amy. An even better version of that predicament is when Amy and Rory are trapped inside a spooky doll's house in NIGHT TERRORS. It's a break from the River/assassination story arc therefore I can understand that this might annoy some viewers, and because it ends with a simple "love will save the day" solution it's actually not such a great or innovative story. Nevertheless I enjoyed everything I saw. I liked the twist with the alien child but I was expecting something else. When the Doctor was looking through the family photo album I noticed that father Alex was wearing the same shirt in every picture so I thought it was going to reveal something special about Alex rather than son George. But failing to remember that his son was never born is special enough, I guess. Alex and the Doctor had good TV chemistry and while I'm typing this I suddenly realise he was this episode's guest Companion. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1710197807050.png"]51527[/ATTACH] Silencio, and the Silence that happens after a certain question has been asked, it's all very fascinating. There's also that blue box and Club Silencio in MULHOLLAND DRIVE but I'm still not sure how it all connects. [/QUOTE]
