Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E05 Flesh and Stone: Difference between revisions

* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Angel Bob.

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]:

'''Doctor:''' ''(laughs)'' That's a ''fairy tale.''<br />

'''River:''' Aren't we all? }}

** This also [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S2 E13 Doomsday|isn't the first time]] where an army of pure, unadulterated evil is sucked into a bright white spacetime anomaly, never to return, while the Doctor and everyone else hold on.

* [[Cosmic Retcon]]: Thanks to the crack in time, "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E14 The Next Doctor|The Next Doctor]]" (at the very least) never happened. The Daleks, as pointed out in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 E03 Victory of the Daleks|Victory of the Daleks]]" also have vanished from Amy's time.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: {{spoiler|River Song}}

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Interesting variation with the Crack showing up. Even though it made the situation worse, surviving the Angels would probably have been impossible without it.

** Regarding the section of the ''Byzantium'' everyone is stuck in--the Doctor has thought about what to do when the power and artificial gravity fail--well, they'll plunge to their deaths, of course. See, he ''did'' think about it!

** Regarding the Doctor.

'''River Song:''' I ''absolutely trust him''. }}

** Played with, in that Octavian is savvy enough to clock immediately what's she's doing and is not impressed.

* [[Face Death with Dignity]]/[[It Has Been an Honour]]: Father Octavian may have redefined the former trope.

'''Father Octavian''': I think, sir, you know me at my best. }}

* [[For the Evulz]]: Why are the Weeping Angels making {{spoiler|Amy count down to her death?}} Just to scare her!

* [[Foreshadowing]]: This little exchange:

'''River Song''': [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32 E2 Day of the Moon|Ah, well, maybe when you're older.]] }}

** The Doctor coming back for Amy briefly, ''with'' his jacket.

* [[Friends with Benefits]]: Amy wants this. The Doctor, it appears, does not.

'''Amy:''' [[Celibate Hero|It's been a while?]]<br />

'''Doctor:''' Ye-No, no, no! }}

* [[Holodeck Malfunction]]: The Angels start to turn off the lights ([[Epileptic Flashing Lights|yes, ''again'']]) by way of the trees.

* [[Implausible Deniability]]

'''River Song:''' I absolutely trust him. }}

* [[Indy Ploy]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]]:

'''Doctor:''' "I don't know yet, I haven't finished talking." }}

* [[It Got Worse]]

*** We have no need for comfy chairs.

* [[Talking Your Way Out]]

* [[Temporary Blindness]]: Amy's inability to open her eyes results in this.

* [[This Is Sparta]]: LIKE! ME! FOR! INSTANCE!!!

* [["What?" Cliffhanger]]: He just needed to shoot the gravity thing? That's ''it?'' It seems like the writers were just looking for a justification for making the Doctor act like Clint Eastwood in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7_JghwTWaA the trailer].

* [[Where's the Fun In That?]]:

'''River Song:''' If you like. But where's the fun in that? }}

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: {{spoiler|What the hell, Amy?}}
