Wow, I'm Speechless, just an amazing episode. The cliffhanger is probably the greatest since New-Who began in 2005 and it was much darker to what we've previously seen this series.
When I saw the Stonehenge scenes, I couldn't help thinking about the movie "This is Spinal Tap" and their classic Rock song "Stonehenge".
In particular the opening lyrics;
In ancient times,
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history.
There lived a strange race of people...the Druids.
No one knows who they were, or...what they were doing...
But their legacy remains...
Hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge...
I was expecting them to at least play a bit of it at some point during DW Confidential but they sadly didn't.
It was great to see all the enemies come back (even if it was predictable), the Cyberman head that tried to kill Amy was just like a facehugger scene out of "Alien". Also when the body of the Cyberman retrieved its head and put it back on, it was like a moment from "Worzel Gummidge" or a Kryten spare-head scene from "Red Dwarf".
Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Alex Kingston, Arthur Darvill etc. all churned out brilliant performances and I'm loving the new feel of the show. It really has been given a new lease of life, the dark, atmospheric scenes are alway's the best, the scene where River is searching with a flashlight in Amy's home was just like something out of a Horror movie. I was just waiting for something to jump out from behind her and make us all jump. All in all this was a great episode that was epic in every way. I can't wait for part 2.
