I loved that, in her mind, Oswin had shifted her looming doom into a bad pun.
Burned souffle = eggs-terminate.
I totally did not make that connection. Thanks for pointing it out. Makes sense now.
Not quite. Episode 2 survives.
I didn’t catch it while I was watching. It came later.
Took a while to hatch, huh?
Spoilers 
[spoiler] I loved Mitchell & Webb as the very HHGTTG style, robot double act. And Amy claiming to be a Queen with a straight face.
And the Doctor gleefully shouting that he still has a Christmas list [/spoiler]
Someone threw all their childhood fantasies at that one, didn’t they? The Doctor! Dinosaurs! Comedy robots! Indiana Jones! (well, sort of).
It was a very silly episode, but I really enjoyed it.
That was ace. Rory’s dad was awesome. “What kind of man doesn’t carry a trowel?” Heh!
Was that the first time we saw Matt do the vengeful Doctor? Not bad, but not a patch on Tennant in Family of Blood.
Also: Indian Space Agency! The new UNIT?
Somebody knows where his trowel is.
When the Dr & Amy were handling stage one’s “multi-tasking”, what was it Amy said to him that made him reply “promise - really promise”? I played it back three times on the DVR but I still couldn’t catch it - and the fact that that they stared at each other in silence for a moment afterwards suggested we were supposed to find it significant.
Surprised that the Doctor didn’t meet Rory’s Dad at the Pond’s wedding. Did a different actor play his Dad in that? I should look into that.
“I think you’re weaning us off you.”
Damn. This show may have lost my daughter as a fan. She’s still crying over the dead dinosaur - Mom is with her, trying to calm her down.
Not good.
And I thought the Doctor wasn’t supposed to resort to violence?
This was a great episode until they ripped every kids heart out by killing that dinosaur. Damned shame.
The Doctor didn’t kill the dinosaur. The Evil Space Pirate–or one of his robots–did…
But the Doctor did kill Solomon. Bit jarring, I thought.
Now, who’s up for a rousing game of “Spot the Pop Culture References”? Snakes On A Plane, Jurassic Park, Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy… how many more did you see?
Funny in parts, but I found it overly cute. Amy and Rory are eeeever so slowly starting to drift towards one dimensionality.
Can someone please help with a line that’s been bugging me from “Asylum of the Daleks”?
Stuff spoilered, just in case…
When the platform is raised and the Doctor tells them they are in the Parliament of the Daleks,
Amy asks “What do we do?” to which the Doctor replies “Make them remember you.”. Does that line ever get explained, or did I miss something crucial? It made no sense to me, because it didn’t seem to go anywhere.
It also reminded me strongly of “Flesh and Stone” when the Doctor tells Amy “Remember what I told you when you were seven.”…“You have to remember.”. Turned out to be foreshadowing one of the time twists Moffat seems fond of using. Was this something similar, despite the “no over-arching storylines this time” bit?
He thought the Daleks intended to kill them (which they did, but he thought they intended to do it then and there), and had no idea how to get them out of it. So, he’s telling them - make it good. Make it so you’re not just two more out of any number of humans who’ve been cut down. Make them remember this kill.
I think there was a short shot of one of the two robots singing “Daisy, Daisy”, which, IIRC, was the song that HAL 9000 sang in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I would have reviewed the episode, but I didn’t want my daughter to start crying again.
A Victorian gentleman explorer and game hunter, with antiquated ideas about gender roles, who enjoys a stiff drink, a big gun, and a grossly outmatched fight.
Wait a minute… didn’t I create this character back in May?
DAMMIT STEVEN MOFFAT STOP STEALING MY IDEAS.
(Well, either that or he and I were drawing on the same archetype.) 
On an unrelated note, the writer of this episode, Chris Chibnall, also wrote the Human Nature/Family of Blood two-parter, which could explain the return of the Vengeful Doctor.
