Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E01 The Impossible Astronaut: Difference between revisions

* [[Alliteration]]: "Rory the Roman."

* [[Alcohol Is Poison]]: [[Averted Trope]]. However, viewers asked why {{spoiler|Amy, who thinks she is pregnant}}, is drinking wine during the picnic. [[Steven Moffat]] replied {{spoiler|[[Self-Deprecation|"She's Scottish"]]}}.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|All Boys Want Bad Girls]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZZbM54zf9w This exchange.]

{{quote|'''Doctor:''' Now I love a bad girl, me, but trust you?}}

* [[Cry Into Chest]]: {{spoiler|Amy cries onto the dead Doctor's chest.}}

* [[Dramatic Pause]]: After the Doctor {{spoiler|is mortally wounded on the beach and the regeneration process starts, the music swells and becomes dreamlike -- only to stop abruptly when he is shot a second time.}} A second later, another track, with a much more scary feeling, replaces the first.

* [[Eagle Land]]: The Doctor comments on the American agents' readiness to run around pointing guns.

{{quote|'''The Doctor''': You think you can just ''shoot'' me?

* [[Stage Whisper]]: Amy, Rory and River discuss an [[Awful Truth]] that they absolutely cannot tell the Doctor...under the glass floor of the TARDIS console room, with him directly above them.

** It gets worse, he actually interrupts their conversation by sticking his head down over the edge of the floor and tells them to come up top. There is no way he could not have heard it.

* [[Sting]]: River slaps the Doctor hard enough for the background music to temporarily stop and change track.

* [[Take That]]: It's yet to be seen if it plays out in the character, but Amy and Canton's exchange about marriage could be about same-sex marriage, interracial marriage, or marriage to a political enemy.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: What all the signs are pointing to. {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]] of the series}} making a first appearance? Check. {{spoiler|Main character}} soon being {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}? Check.

** To elaborate: {{spoiler|the Doctor is [[Killed Off for Real|killed mid-regeneration]] by the Astronaut}}; the {{spoiler|[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E11 The Lodger|fake TARDIS]]}} returns, probably connected with {{spoiler|the Silence}}; and {{spoiler|Amy is ''pregnant''}}.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Where exactly did the Future!Doctor leave his TARDIS?}}

** {{spoiler|Resolved in the season finale.}}
