Doctor Who S07E02: Dinosaurs On A Spaceship (09-08-12)



Synopsis:
Spoiler:
An unmanned spaceship hurtles towards certain destruction - unless the Doctor can save it, and its impossible cargo...... of dinosaurs. By his side a ragtag gang of adventurers; a big game hunter, an Egyptian Queen and a surprised member of the Pond family. But little does the Doctor know there is someone else onboard who will stop at nothing to keep hold of his precious, prehistoric cargo.


This episode has two Harry Potter alums: David Bradley, who played Filch, and Mark Williams who played Arthur Weasley.

Much better episode than last week's. Great banter, fun new characters, and of course, dinosaurs.

I LOVED IT. I WANT A TRIKY!

Fun characters, good story, great lines and some hints towards upcoming stuff. Overall Dinosaurs was a much more enjoyable episode for me.

And I demand the Doctor gets Robots for companions!

The robots felt very Hitchhiker's Guide to me.

Pretty fun episode, in a silly kind of way. More innuendo than we would normally hear on a Doctor Who. Brian " I am not a Pond!" LOL.

Rory: Dad, I'm an adult. I don't have a Christmas list anymore.
Doctor: I DO!!!

Yeah, I liked this better than last week's ep, too. 2 for 2 so far this season.

Just 3 left (after this dino ep) then the christmas special.

Good episode. Lotsa funny lines. Loved seeing (hearing) Mitchell and Webb from Peep Show as the robots.

Some good moments here and there, but this one was too silly for me - especially the robots. It also had too many side characters. Just kind of a goofy mess.

I've never seen "Snakes on a Plane", were there any other nods?

The camp robots were silly, although quite amusing, and I completely missed who was doing their voices! I, too, got the H2G2 vibe.

I was a little distacted while watching this so could easily have missed some of the fine details. Maybe Nefertiti and the big game hunting guy could have been omitted. But perhaps they're destined to return at some point.

I enjoyed it, yes it was silly and cheesy at times, but I like to have those episodes from time to time to keep it on the light side. Especially since we know it's going to get emotional in the next couple of episodes when we lose the Ponds'.
