OK let’s not spoil for anything past this episode. I know it is getting harder and harder to do, but I am trying to keep it to everything up to this point.

The non-spoiler part of the review.

Overall I though it was a good conclusion to the events that were begun in The Hungry Earth. The acting was good and the script went off in some directions I wasn’t expecting it to. Also the ending was not what I thought we were heading to at the end of the previous episode but it didn’t cheat to get there. Again it had an old who feeling to it which I am enjoying.

I am still loving the dynamics between the Doctor, Amy, and Rory. The rest of the cast served the story well. We did further the crack in time plot so I know that they didn’t just finish up with that with the angels.

Now onto the

The double entendre of the title was very good. You have the murder of Alaya and the fact that the Silurians are cold blooded.

Poor Rory. Poor, poor Rory. I felt so sorry for him on so many levels. I was liking him more and more as the episodes unspooled and now, well we’ll remember him.

And what about that piece of the TARDIS that was in the crack? Put chills up and down my spine.

I liked that the ending was not the glory of the Humans and Silurians working in harmony but that this was a baby step towards what happened in the future. And we were given a hint that this was the way it was going to go either in the episode. The Doctor and his companions managed to keep further damage from happening but those people are never going to be the same. I was also fine with Nasreen staying with the Silurians to see what would happen next.

So it was well acted, fairly well written, and well done all.

Poor Rory. *sniff* He will be missed by me.


I am grateful for the old who adversaries showing up again.

Seriously sad about Rory. Very sad that Amy can't recall him. He'll be the elephant in the room now between The Doctor and Amy.
