this is what I do, it usually pops up a few hours after it airs in the UK so it's all good for me.

Anyway, new episode was awesome. This is Bob, sir...

Also, there's some speculation that:

River Song isn't just some random prisoner (which it was somewhat referred to by the Cleric or whatever his rank was), but rather a con artist who just dupes the doctor into thinking she's someone important to him, because due to the wonders of time travel he basically has to take her word for it. So eventually he'll probably find out, but he may still have to go along with it to make sure that the events in the Library still happen.
which I dunno if I quite believe it entirely but it's pretty interesting.
I'd rather have that be true than the wife thing.

Do we know for sure that what she told the Doctor in his ear was his name? I mean, it would make sense, but...
And just because she met him as a

Well, right after she whispered in his ear he said "You know my true name. I wouldn't tell just anybody my true name." The context and his expression of absolute shock kind of makes it difficult for her to have whispered anything else.

I wonder if Captain Jack will reappear. Torchwood's kind of dissolved, so you never know, he may run into the Doctor in his wanderings. I hope he does, because he's pretty awesome :)
Random woman: You can't go in there, it's out of bounds!
Jack: *hefting two huge, stolen guns* Do I look like an out-of-bounds kind of guy?

Did he really? I must be remembering wrong. I haven't seen that episode in a while.  :P

My brother bought the box set and I was watching it recently because I love the Vashta Nerada episodes. That's what he said. Unfortunately, no matter how often you rewind and rewatch it, you can't hear what she whispers.  :'(

I hope we find out what his name is in a finale, and that it's something horribly human like "Jim" or "Bob"

I'd be fine with that.

I also wonder if the Nashta Verada will make a reappearance, that'd be pretty neat. Maybe have them and the angels in an episode together for over-the-top-ness :O

There's a suspiciously familiar crack above my bedroom door that I swear I just noticed a few days ago.  :-\

And now there are alien fugitives living in your bedroom. For when you're too old to believe in monsters under the bed ;)

just think, you have to look away from the angels to make sure the shadows aren't shifting too close, so the angels get closer

and then the angels turn off the lights... do the angels kill you or the nashta verada? Dun dun duuun.

That's why you always watch Doctor Who with a partner. So you can alternate.

so you can alternate and make sure that someone's always watching the angel so it doesn't come out of your screen?

Well, yeah, that too. But in mangaluva's case, someone to watch the Angels and someone to watch the shadows. And then when person A gets tired of not blinking, you switch.  ;D
