Series 7 Web Episodes

[intrinsical]

This must be some British humor thing again, because I'm not getting the punchline.

 

[Captain Dago]

OK, part 3 made me laugh.

 

[Plain Simple]

Part 3 was funny, although with 1 and 2 I thought they were building up to something. This seems, at the moment at least, unrelated (and really, what can they do with 2 minutes left?).

 

[The Wormhole]

"Ood on the loo."

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I'd buy a "Pond Life Ood Action Figure plus Accessory" if they ever put one out.

That worries me. I thought "Pond Life" was going to join Amy and Rory's story from the end of "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe" to the beginning of "Asylum of the Daleks," but there's a lot of ground to cover to get them to the beginning of "Asylum."

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

I think the overall message is more simple, that life with the Doctor keeps being weird even if you're not actively traveling with him - until someone says "That's enough, we're done".

Which just leads me to wonder, what ARE the Ponds doing for a living? Amy apparently has a modeling career and presumably Rory can continue as a nurse with an awesome car (unless Amy's job makes him the perpetual boy-toy). Not as humanitarian as some other companions post-Doctor (per Sarah Jane), but they ARE still young...

Spoiler: Vague spoilers for Asylum that don't really spoil anything important...

"Asylum" shows us what Amy's been up to, but we don't know what Rory's been doing with his life. Supposedly, based on the Q&A at the New York screening, "The Power of Three" will delve more into the personal lives of Amy and Rory. Either Karen or Caroline Skinner said that Amy is a bit of a lost soul, flitting from job to job without any direction.

Amy's a model. Rory's a very popular male escort.

Well, we (at least, I) don't know where "Asylum" will begin, so I don't know where we're trying to get to.

Yep, that's what I'm getting from it. Still, surely there must be a reason for an Ood in the loo, no?

Ir Rory is still a nurse, I'd call that pretty humanitarian.

 

[MacLeod]

I only have one thing to say about Part 3 at the moment. 'How Ood"

 

[Samurai8472]

I'd buy a "Pond Life Ood Action Figure plus Accessory" if they ever put one out.

-Ood action figure. They made one. CHECK

-A toilet toy. I'm sure someone had one one


You're done.


I like that these web episodes have been progressing.


-Part 1. Morning or afternoon for the Ponds

-Part 2- Night time for the Ponds

-Part 3- The morning after.

 

[OmahaStar]

A toilet toy. I'm sure someone had one one

Well, there was Sil ...

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Dumb question: can an Ood figure do a sitting posture?

 

[StCoop]

Wow, that was a shockingly fake looking wig Karen was wearing.

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

I thought more people would want the set more for Amy in a bathrobe...

And while Rory continuing his nursey career would certainly be humanitarian, you could argue that it's not AS humanitarian as researching medicine, running an orphanage or fighting for aboriginal human rights, as SJ was suggesting some of the Doctor's previous wards were doing.

That's a fair point. Really, it's just a hope on my part that "Pond Life" joins the dots to "Asylum," but if each segment is roughly a month apart, it probably won't.

 

[Samurai8472]

It seems possible

Wow, that was a shockingly fake looking wig Karen was wearing.

I thought she looked hot with the big 60's style hair.

The subject of her hair has been a hot topic recently

Haha yes it's true! I'm wearing a great big ginger wig in pond life. Due to fringe!

Being from America I thought she got her haircut for a guest role on "Fringe" LOL

I later learn "Fringe" means bangs in the U.K

She was forced to wear it by the BBC

http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2012/...tv-star-wear-wig-for-latest-series-of-dr-who/

The flame-haired star, who plays character Amy Pond in Dr Who prequel series Pond Life, was forced to wear the synthetic hair piece after getting a trendy new hairstyle in real life.

 

[Photoman15]

Her hair looked "properly Pondish" at the NYC premiere. What trendy cut did she get? (And she wasn't wearing the wig at the premiere).

Nursing is all shit, piss, blood and snot. And none of it your own. Humanitarian enough I'd say.
