Yeah, although somewhat lacking in the accent department.

I thought that worked well, I'd rather no accent than a bad one ruining things.

Well now, that was a rather good episode.

I didn't expect that ending either.

Hmm, I do wonder if Moffat will use this to remake the actual universe and things in it as he see's fit. Things like restoring Skaro and the previous Daleks (ie, Davros and co), Gallifrey and the Timelords etc...

I expect Grimmie's correct through.

I don't really watch Doctor Who, but I have caught bits of it. One thing I don't like is the whole "I'm the Doctor! You'd best be shitting yourselves right now!" aspect that I've seen on more than one occasion now.

It was the best episode as yet -
Spoiler:
I thought that there already was the Doctor in the box as he was trying to open it.
Roman Totale - agreed, I don't mind "I'm the Doctor! You'd best be shitting yourselves right now!" if used sparingly and/or as an understated fact (after all, he is the Doctor and they'd best be shitting themselves), but it's been used far too much this series and makes him seem like a bit of an arrogant cock.
Grimmie, you're probably right. Might be Rory though.

Fake Rory!

It was an Auton that was convinced that's who he was, from Amy's memories.

It's kind of okay that's he's a bit more, "Yes I am a bit of a hero, actually", acknowledging the way he's saved the Universe on many occasions, instead of the weird reset and clean slate each episode approach, but in this case it was unjustified as a plot point. The fact that the assembled space baddies weren't shooting at each other indicated they already knew what they were there for, so I don't get why they backed off, or were so obviously visible to start with. It just seemed put in to allow the Doctor to do a bit of grandstanding, which might have made sense at the time, but didn't with the events that came after.

I think we'd all like Karen Gillan to come knocking on our doors.

I believe they discussed that exact eventuality in the Gingent Van Jock episode and is my prime candidate for what is causing the universe to be unmade. Dividing by zero is a mere schoolboy error in comparison.

I'm not too fussed, I find her a little annoying in the show. She's all pouty.

Recent episodes have been very good though. It's shame it's right at the end of the series.
