Definitely watching the right one, it's got Doctor Who as the opening titles
I don't take it too seriously but it's still fun to guess what's going to happen.
I reckon the Doctor will go back to change time in the finale, originally I thought it would be to maybe undo the Time War or something like that but now it'll probably be to save Rory. Also, I think the others are right about the ring holding the memory of Rory.

rory is gone. the crack completely erases his existance, he wont find him in time
as said, it might be the engagement ring has stored him in some sort of fashion. but as we've been told, Rory has never existed now, so doesnt matter to what point you travel, he won't be there.
as we've already said before, im pretty sure the doctor is already messing with time like the moment when he talked to amy after leaving her etc. he's already playing around with time.
yoiu have to remember this pandorica opening has already happened, time is not a straight line, its just an existance. the doctor exists outside of this and can travel to points within. River Song has experienced it and so has the future doctor who as we believe is now currently manipulating events behind the scenes and sometimes infront. so on this little idea when we get to the pandorica it will be different from the original version where i dont know 'the entire history bof the universe was whiped out bar those existing outside of time e.g The Doctor and River Song' . what happened is pure guess work but the idea of the doctor coming back is thoeried.
right im going to stop waffling
Ironically that's exactly what Who conceptually started as in 1963...except it was actually half-decent and the sci-fi part took off
If you haven't found any enjoyment in what you've seen of the series to date then I wouldn't bother. The most recent episode contained almost everything I love about Doctor Who.
The best one so far.

Good episode tonight even though the story line was abit weak. The actor who played van gogh was superb. Really portrayed the part superbly! Next weeks episode looks abit weird (even for doctor who) but it could be good.
That episode was one of the best i've seen in a long time. Quite moving as well. Quite differently acted as well I think, probably partly due to the couple of well known proper actors in it and not just c list comedians (not that they are bad, just not as good as Bill Nighy and the bloke that played Van Gogh).
Some excellent use of music as well I thought and we learned something about art.
As for the long term plot... No crack but the bit about him knowing she was crying inside and what appears to be her actually crying was interesting. And more "insight" into the doctors aloneness.

Then you are not who the show is aimed at. Please feel free to stop watching.
I missed the first 5 minutes but thought it was one of the best episodes yet, mainly thanks to that superb ginja actor and the excellent final scenes, which were very emotional. Bill Nighy was a great addition. I see that this episode was written by Richard Curtis who never did the previous ones I believe. Well done.

Quite an enjoyable episode tonight, a good change from the Dr running about sonic screwdrivering aliens.
Good to see Bill (Slartibartfast) Nighy in Dr who.

Me too
Tony Curran stole that episode with the acting imo 
. Bill Nighy in the final scenes was also very good.
Very enjoyable episode. The alien did seem to be a bit of an afterthought as the b plot of the episode tbh but i think that was a good thing as it focused on the characters.
I have a feeling next weeks will go down in quality again, but then i don't find James Corden that funny or entertaining to watch tbh.

Wow that was so much better than I expected, nice to see the mini Underworld reunion as well
Rather enjoyed tonights episode, although a bit of a shame that the Dr with all his years and wisdom fell into the trap of mispronouncing Van Goghs name by making the common mistake of saying it as Van Goff. Obviously doesnt watch QI in the Tardis

I thought the same thing.
Acting was top notch in this episode, everything else was a bit 'meh' for me, especially the alien...
