    I thought it was the best Dalek episode yet from the new series :p:

    Impressions: Oswin is awesome, no idea how she can be the Doctor's new companion, but Moffat will have a few tricks up his sleeve. I thought the whole divorce thing was all dealt with too hastily, needed more time to deal with them being apart. Dalek zombies made me laugh so hard.
    PRSOM. THis pretty much sums up my feels!

    When Oswin first appeared, What was the music called which she played to cover dalek voices?

    Music from the opera 'Carmen', I think

    Asylum of the Daleks was dumb. So dumb.

    Once again, Moffat proves that he needs two episodes to tell a good story.

    What part?


    The ending was a bit rushed really. I do wonder what the Daleks would have done if they remembered the Doctor? I mean was the plan the whole time to destroy their asylum and kill the doctor in one go? :holmes:

    Oh if they had more time, they could have worked a bit more on that 'maybe that's why we've never succeeded in killing you'. :moon:

    Possible (speculative) spoiler, possibly just BBC being cheap..

    the black chair that Oswin was sitting in is the same one that was in Jenny (the doctor's daughter)'s spaceship when she flew off at the end of the episode. Could either be a hint, or just re-using props

    When Rory hits the Daleks when he first arrives in the planet, they should've been recharged because in the Time War they used Time Lord science or something like that as weapons. Like in the Cult of Skaro/Dalek episodes where Rose/her boyfriend touched the Genesis Ark/Dalek and they came back to life.

    So are these all survivors of the Time War from the beginning? If so, could this mean Time Lords survived? I'm sure they'll return eventually...

    If they pull something like 'She's Jenny who turned herself into a human and replaced her memories like the doctor did in 'human nature' for some reason', I would find this so convoluted and silly that I may reconsider watching the show. It probably is just a thrifty reuse of a prop though, taking into account the amount they've spent on computer graphics this series to fill in the hollow plots (more like puzzles mixed with witty remarks than actual stories).

    Did she actually say that?

    I just heard it as 'I can't give you kids'. Implies a physical problem but doesn't have to be.

    She said something about 'whatever they did to me at demon's run', which implies that they messed about with her when they were delivering the baby

    She said whatever they did to her in demons run meaning they might have done something to her physically which meant she can no longer have baby's

    I'm curious as to whether the rest of this series we will see the Doctor keep dropping Amy and Rory back home at the end of the episode? How does he pick them and
