He's John Hurt! >< Much like Bill Nighy, he can do anything he wants.

I want Ben Kingsley =p

Anyway, The Doctors Name was a decent episode. It was kind of paced weird though, like a lot happened but nothing happened at the same time.

I also wish Jenny stayed dead. Harsh i know and I do really like the scooby gang, but it would have just added more weight to the episode. The twist/Hint at the end was very awesome though.

Overall this half season has been very hit and miss for me, it was alright but nothing to get super excited about =)

It's Doctor Who No one stays dead.

I'm in agreement with you here...kind of. I expected her to come back from the dead (after all, they've already resurrected Strax once) but to have her be killed and resurrected in the space of about 5 minutes killed any gravity that scene was supposed to have.

Killed twice, in the same episode. Once by the Whispering Men and once because of the Timeline being rewritten. And both times she came back within quick order.

Exactly. I thought they'd really upped the stakes, I sat watching it thinking 'oo this is gonna be good' then they conveniently revived her moments later. Could've at least revived her by the Doctor doing some clever timey wimey stuff, not just Strax with a remote control =p

And I've been thinkng about this episode and what they've established with events in past episodes. And none of it makes sense. It was said that No Man Can Tell a Lie, yet the Doctor seemed quite capable of not saying his name no matter how much TGI asked. The Silence were no where to be found and they were the damn ones trying to stop it from happening the first place. There was no mention about what reason either. They just left so much out. And another thing that's been bothering me is River. According to how the scene was set, this happened in her timeline after The Doctor saved her to the Library. So she's alread 'dead'. Yet that never happened in the episodes yet, and I was looking forward to that since they first teased it in Silence in the Library. I know he hates Goodbye's but come on.

What's so confusing about that?

They never showed him showing up at her door, with the new haircut, taking her to see the daimond falls, and giving her his sonic (giggity). And I hate when they do that. If you say something happened, show it freaking happening. Not just "Happened off-screen, tra-la-la!"

It's not as confusing as it is plot holey. It just sort of leaves you feeling like you've missed something, at least thats how I felt.

Kind of like reading a Grant morrison graphic novel, just requires a few more watches/reads or a later issue/episode to make sense.
