RORY POND YOU PRECIOUS BRILLIANT MAN YOU ARE GETTING A HUG EVEN IF I HAVE TO BECOME FICTIONAL TO GIVE IT TO YOU. ♥ ♥ ♥ I loved him right from the very beginning but this episode, from "where is my wife?" to "I was gonna be cool", just reminded me of why I think he is so great. Snaps for you, Arthur Darvill!
I'm...not sure how I feel about River being superhuman as well as Amy and Rory's daughter. I had heard all the speculation about it before. And I figured it out myself within the first five minutes of the show...my brain went "Melody Pond, that's such a pretty name. Moffat seems to pick a lot of pretty names for female characters...Sally Sparrow, Kathy Nightingale, Amelia Pond, River Song...wait hold on, Pond, River OMIGOD RIVER'S MELODY POND." I had been expecting it to be something nobody had thought of, so to find out that most of fandom had already guessed it was a bit of a letdown.
The Silurian Lady Detective and her BFF were awesome. I would totally watch a spinoff of the two of them. Someone better be writing fic!
So, does this mean River = regenerating child from DOTM? If it is her, why didn't she remember any of the events of TIA/DOTM? That makes Amy shooting her even more horrifying - I mean, she just shot HER DAUGHTER. IN THE FACE. Mother of the Year award right there.
RTD, I love you, but Moffat is just so much better at writing amazing one-off characters. The Silurian Lady Detective and Jenny, the big blue guy (I'm so bad with names it's ridiculous), the Sontaran nurse...WIN.
Y'know, I wouldn't really say that the Doctor "fell further than ever before" in this episode. Seriously? This was worse than the Time War? The Master dying (well, the first time)? Saving the base on Mars? I don't buy it.
I will be spending the evening with people who've never even heard of Doctor Who, and it's inevitable that I am going to get a bit tipsy, forget this fact, and then spend a good 20 minutes trying to explain the show to people who COULD NOT CARE LESS and/or are just humoring me.
