Flesh and Stone, Gallifrey Gals Get Wibbly Wobbly! S5ep5
Added 2020-05-21 17:00:03 +0000 UTC
The second part to a planet filled with weeping Angels!! Has Paula finally warmed up to the new Doctor!? Who is River Song!? Stay tuned and watch to find out how the Gals feel about being halfway through season five!! and remember no 'Spoilers'
Ian Glenn can't get away from Targaryens it seems. Matt Smith picked a great Targaryen, he may be a dick, but he isn't a madman (or woman...)

I'm super-behind on things and catching up with your reactions now, but wanted to also point out that this was both Matt and Karen's first story they filmed. I am always amazed at how comfortable Matt feels as the Doctor in this story, especially since it's the first one he did. He just clicked instantly with the character, in my opinion. <3

Did you notice at 8:20 when the Doctor said the Byzantium was a Galaxy Class ship?

One of the best reactions you've ever done. Stressed Paula is best Paula... :-D

Ah yes...she's pretty, so we should ignore attempted rape and sexual assault! That makes perfect sense!!
In other news, all male models and actors can now rape anyone they want, because "who wouldn't mind them being aggressive?"

The Byzantium is also referenced when Amy and River are having a few glasses of wine together after a future adventure

That forehead to forehead scene......

They even talked about putting the foreheads together moment but not about the "WHAT???" part of that scene...

It's worth noting that way back in Silence in the Library when River is checking her diary to work out where in the Doctor's timeline they are, she says "Have we done the wreck of the Byzantium yet?" Well, here they are in the wreck of the Byzantium. Moffat plays a long game...
As for the final scene with Amy, it doesn't bother me that much. Here she is with her raggedy Doctor, who she's been fantasizing about since she was 7, after a near death experience. I agree with Paula in that she's a mess of emotions trying to work out what she wants. I also think it conversely puts to rest any notion that there is going to be any real romantic relationship by having the topic dealt with and rejected by the Doctor - in the same way as Donna's "I'm not mating with you, sunshine!" in Partners in Crime. We can all now move on from it. People who are angry with Amy for it are taking it all too seriously, I think.

Thank you Paula for getting it. Amy was in the moment, she had almost died and she was having wedding jitters plus al that you said, I too don’t blame Amy for trying to seduce the doctor. I could see that Matt is growing on you, when he was snapping at river you didn’t get cross. Glad your loving this season. Matt smiths run is my favourite of nu who.

Please do whatever you have to do to avoid spoilers for each other. The stories are too good in both shows to have them spoiled accidentally.

I love River Song! Her story is one of my favorites! The big hair, the clothes, the attitude. Love it! 😁❤

Also, I hope everyone can understand. We do our best to try and respond on both YouTube and Patreon. Sometimes Paula has to avoid the comments on who and vice versa for myself with Trek. But I promise we are always reading and enjoying your comments so much! - Kat

the end was cringe worthy but lets be honest who wouldn't mind Amy/Karen being kind of aggressive with you lol

Paula's cat was around her every time she seemed nervous about what was going to happen in the episode or got upset I swear my heart melted!

When the thing happened and you can see it but she doesn't and the other one does. It's so fun knowing and seeing it for the first time. Love the show <3

Last thought, I have always felt, even with the Peter Capaldi of it all, that Matt Smith has always played as the "oldest" of all the modern Doctor's.

Teehee, Paula didn't notice.
Very pleased that Paula didn't react badly to the last scene.

Katrina, you should show her the extended scene that takes place right after they get back into the T.A.R.D.I.S.... It' s amazing and shouldn't spoil anything...

Do the ladies even reply to these posts? Don't think I've seen too many since my initial subscription.

Just saw this was posted, haven't even opened it yet and am already through the roof! So excited for this episode and for Paula to one day understand its TRUE significance!

Really wish the two of you would react to the ‘Meanwhile in the Tardis’ shorts. The second one takes place immediately after the end of this episode. For anyone who has somehow never seen it before:

Another random thought, this episode was designed to be the "Aliens" to "Blink's" version of "Alien".

Agreed, that moment always seemed very rapey to me...it's one of the reasons I never really warmed up to Amy.
Not to mention, cheating on your fiance is not a good idea. If Amy wants to sleep with someone else, she should break up with her fiance before attempting it.
Talmet
2020-05-21 18:31:02 +0000 UTC
Ew, Amy. Just...ew. When someone refuses your advances, it's fucking creepy and a bit rapey to keep pawing at them and trying to thrust your face into theirs so much that they are forced to run away from you.

For the record some of us (me, it is just me, I have not talked to anyone about any of this, this is all on me, with zero evidence and never having met anyone involved) believe that Paula is harsher to the "ones" she loves, there may be some guilt over moving from "10" so quickly.......I think he imprinted at "still not ginger", but the food was off putting, then he was honest with a child and then he destroyed that child's childhood, so yeah......mixed signals......hahahaha

I'm same as Paula, GOT is not my style of show. I have enough peripheral awareness to know who everyone is, and the general plots, but I don't watch it.
