h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Did you read the text below?

mea culpa - no I didn't.

Given that the text on that page says it's "on the eve of the birth of her first baby", I'd be very surprised if she wasn't.

Ach! Page-turning incompetence.

I'm suspecting a 'false flash-forward', a la Forest of the Dead.

why was forest of the dead a false flash forward???

Well, the trailer talked about one thing being a dream and the other being real. Who knows which will be which.

I'm guessing the future with the baby is false. Like Forest of the Dead had Donna's 'kids' in it.

At some point, they will need to decide whether to die in the false future / dream / alternate reality in order to wake up in real life - or live in the dream, even though that means dying in reality.

aye, and if you read the spoilers on Rory this makes further sense.

So no one else spotted/bothered about the Prisoner Zero statuette/grotesque in Vamps in Venice?

the donna kids in forest of the dead wasn't a false future,

it was the computer trying to save her and putting her in a controlled constructed simulated enviroment

wasn't there a buffy episode where they were in a dream and had to make the same sort of choice???

strange dudes in a clock tower if i remember???

whole town was sleeping???

There was a Buffy episode where she woke up in a mental asylum, and the doctors told her the whole "fighting vampires" thing was just in her mind. Good episode.

From the April 3rd-9th edition of Radio Times, which had a big spread on the new series and intros to each of the 13 episodes.

Ep 7 Amy's choice:

"It's been 5 long years since Amy travelled in the Tardis with her mysterious Doctor - and when he shows up again, on the eve of the birth of her first child, danger is not far behind him."

(There's a bit more but I won't post it as it might be considered a spoiler.)

The Dream Lord actually explained it all in the trailer, was I the only one paying attention?

nope.
Plus there's lots of non-spoilery spoilers out there as well.

"So no one else spotted/bothered about the Prisoner Zero statuette/grotesque in Vamps in Venice?"

I remember seeing it but I just assumed it was the image of the alien fish themselves because they've got similar teeth. It does look a bit like Prisoner Zero I'll grant you, but I reckon it's more likely that it's a self-portrait.

My thoughts on the episode here. http://wp.me/pLq5j-2C
I particular I like that Rory's travelling with them. Looking forward to where that goes, and I hope it works out differently to Mickey and that Rory stays for longer.

didn't mickey end up with martha jones????

sounds like a reult to me

Indeed he did. No idea how that happened though. I was sure she was engaged to that doctor bloke.

There's the final episode of season 4 where the first slayer stalks them in their dreams after they've defeated Adam in the previous episode. [I think that's the one where Giles sings the solution, although I may be getting muddled up.]

I think the episode in the clock tower that you're referring too though is "Hush" (earlier in season 4), with the Gentlemen, who make the whole town mute.

Now *that* was a good episode.

Say, Joss Whedon doesn't seem to be up to much at the moment, do you think he could be persuaded to write an episode for a classic British Sci-Fi show?
