Ain't no party like a Doctor Who party...

apple_pathways'cause a Doctor Who party don't stop. (It just takes a f*ing hiatus after seven episodes for NO GOOD REASON. :P)
So, I want to hang out on the internets and flail about the mid-series finale of Doctor Who, but social obligations dictate I must leave the house. (Why must people inconveniently schedule their grad school celebration parties on the days of epic Who episodes???)
*OMG, River is Amy and Rory's BABY! ...on second thought, that theory's been around forever. I'm glad that's the one they went with, but still: DAMN YOU Who fans and your ability to correctly predict major plot twists!
*Rory and Amy's reunion! ♥ ♥ ♥ "I was going to be cool." Oh, Rory darling: you will never be cool, and that's why we love you! (I was going to rewatch this scene over and over and over again, but now I'm afraid the whole thing will be slightly spoiled knowing that cuddling a Flesh!baby. *shakes fist* DAMN YOU gooey Flesh!baby!
*Moffat: PLEASE stop hitting us over the head with your Big Important Points. We are not idiots. You had River say "He'll rise higher than he ever has." We heard it! We know what it means! We do NOT need a character to come out and say THE SAME EXACT THING again in order to 'get it'. WE GOT IT! Now: NO MORE ANVILS, please, our heads are rather tender! (And while I have your attention: the name of the episode is allowed to be spoken out loud ONCE per episode! No exceptions!)
*Centurion!Rory! And Amy as a mum is SO CUTE...I cried. (Fortunately, this time I was alone, and no one came upstairs all concerned to see what was wrong with me.)
Ok, I gotta get going now! But here's some questions I have:
*How did Eyepatch Lady get away from Rory?
*Where did the Doctor go at the end?
*Was that whole scene where they had the Doctor pinpoint exactly when the Pondling was conceived really necessary? (It was cute, but just a little long!)
*When can we expect the spin-off series with the Victorian Silurian Lady Detective and herlesbian lover sidekick to air?
Ok, I gotta go: please leave me some squee and/or griping and/or thinky thoughts! 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.
Go! :P

Also I now suspect she killed Rory and that's why she's in prison and I hate it. I think this because they keep doing the bait and switch thing where you think they're talking about the doctor but its him and I had theorised she killed the doctor. Also she does kill the doctor. Also we know she dies and that's not fair because she is Amy and Rory's baby. I am very cross. It was an awesome episode though.

Date: 2011-06-05 08:51 pm (UTC)Yeah, I'm afraid this is what the show's hinting at, too: DNW! Noooo!!! I'm already preparing myself for the idea that it won't be my Team TARDIS in the blue box next series, but I don't know how I'm going to be able to cope if there isn't even a possibility of an Amy/Rory cameo in future episodes! (Also: River killing her dad is just far too angst-worthy for my tastes. YOU ARE HEADING DOWN DARK CORRIDORS, Moffat my dear! We don't our show going all mopey-whiny-teary-eyed AGAIN!)
She does die. But hey, at least she has awesome adventures first, right? And she gets to choose her death at a time when it will do the most good. She gets to be all noble and self-sacrificing and save the Doctor! When he doesn't even know who she is to be properly grateful! That's pretty damn cool.
Of course Eleven speaks Baby--he speaks everything! *snerk*

Date: 2011-06-05 10:58 pm (UTC)Oh no I don't like that theory! I love Rory too much and killing him AGAIN and forever would rip my heart to shreds. I hope Moffat realises how much people love Rory and that should be reason enough to keep him.
I figured that the "good man" River kills is the Doctor (as does everyone else, I guess). My cockamamie theory is that the Impossible Astronaut is River - maybe a Ganger? or maybe the Ganger is the River on the banks? - and she gets sent off for that. It all made so much more sense in my head earlier today but on paper it really does sound an awful theory.

Date: 2011-06-08 01:32 am (UTC)Sigh, I guess I just love Rory so much that I don't want him getting killed. But it would be (dare I say it?) different if Rory's the "good man" and not the Doctor, which I guess is a wonderful red herring to throw us all off.
