Wow... what a season finale! I've gotta say that I have been a big fan of this season, despite some weak episodes it's been brilliant, does it eclipse the return of Doctor Who when it relaunched in 2005... no, but it comes very close, very close indeed.Now that's off my chest, how about the episode, well it was a fast paced story, of time, love, trust and friendship, in which everybody got to die and be reborn... take that everyone who accuses The Doctor of being a mock-Jesus... we are all mock-Jesus! Firstly Rory dies, then Amy, then River, then the universe and finally The Doctor... oh by the way, love the stone Dalek, brilliant and way more scary than iDalek, can we have more of them? So with all that death comes rebirth and how spectacular was that, to re-boot the universe with the TARDIS and The Pandorica? I was also a fan of watching The Doctor skip back along his time-line and interact with Amy, whist it would have been great to see him go back further, I'm sure that would have blown the budget for the series, let alone the episode.
It's also very clear now that Steven Moffat is playing the long game with his stories, because we have no clear resolution on when silence will fall and timey-whimy-crack'n'space is clearly not going to go away. Also despite Wayne's likely protest River Song will be back for a few more visits, and clearly there will be darkness for her to come. I like the idea of a potential future for The Doctor, clearly not this Doctor, but it's certainly out there.
Also it's nice to see that Amy and Rory will be staying in the TARDIS for a while, it'll be a nice change in dynamics and I think it'll be a first, a actual committed couple as companions, should give the future writers some new dimensions to stories, as Amy and Rory will have divided loyalties. Maybe this is the lead for The Doctor and River Song?
Now take a bow Rory, from annoying side character in The Eleventh Hour to a full blown hero in the last two episodes, brilliant! His character, aside from The Doctor has developed the most this season.
I liked:
The constant throttle down of this episode... it did not let up at all!
Dark River
The constant development of The Doctor and Rory
The stone Dalek
The Doctor dancing
I disliked:
Hmmm, actually I liked it all this week
I need to be convinced:
What is going to happen with River Song and The Doctor, whilst I love the concept, I wonder if this story could all go wrong
The TARDIS will still explode on 26/06/2010
Now it's a big wait until the Christmas special... I understand it starts shooting late July in the UK.

EXTRA-BIBLICAL TEACHING?
The primary purpose of extra-Biblical teaching is to oppose or pervert the teaching of God as found in Scripture. Extraneous information used to supposedly promote the doctrines of God is not inspired by God. Extra-Biblical sources such as dictionaries, creed books, catechisms, statements of faith etc. are not Scripture, they are not the infallible word of God. Secular books and secular views of science are not trustworthy words from God.
The results of extra-Biblical sources, in the main, are an obfuscation of the truth. Sources other than the Bible normally have the effect of confusion,concealing the truth, fogging the doctrine of Christ, muddling the historical accounts found in Scripture. Extra-Biblical information is irrelevant to the truth of the New Covenant. The truth originated with the Father and was passed to mankind through Jesus, the prophets and the apostles.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLE ALONE.
CERTAIN BIBLICAL DOCTRINES THAT MEN CHALLENGE USING EXTRA-BIBLICAL SOURCES.
1. Men say God did not create the heavens and the earth in six twenty-four days. (Genesis 1:1-31 Genesis 2:1-3)
You would have to base your opinion on extra-Biblical sources to refute or obfuscate the Biblical account of a God created heaven and earth in six twenty-four hour days.
2. Men say God did not destroy the world by a great flood, excluding Noah and the inhabitants in the ark. (Genesis 7:1-24)
You can only discount the great flood by using extra-Biblical accounts. Extra-Biblical account are normally used to fog or muddle God's historical record. The Bible does not contradict itself.
3.Some men say that water baptism is not in order to the forgiveness of sins. (Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.) (NASB)
Men say that Acts 2:38, in fact, means that men are baptized in water, because their sins have already been forgiven. To reach this conclusion, you not only have to use extra-Biblical sources, but you need a highly skilled professional of deception doing his best work.
There is no way that any one could believe that Acts 2:38 does mean water baptism is essential for the forgiveness of sins by reading the Bible alone. If you trust the Bible and the Bible alone no other conclusion could be reached.
Do you put your trust in creed books?
Do you trust catechisms to be the ultimate truth?
Do catechism supersede the Scriptures? Of course not.
Do you believe secular accounts of God's word are trustworthy?
Do you believe dictionaries are more accurate than translations of the Bible?
Do you put your trust in the statements faith your church writes?
THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLE ALONE.
EXTRA-BIBLICAL, IS BEYOND WHAT GOD HAS REVEALED TO MEN THROUGH JESUS, THE PROPHETS AND THE APOSTLES.
