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

Date: 2011-06-07 03:37 am (UTC)and in my bed?Oh, I am such a sucker for a vulnerable nerd with a sense of nobility. I was worried the "Where. Is. My. Wife???" line was going to be a little...awkward. But Darvill just sold it perfectly! (And it helped that it was followed by the LOLarious line, "Oh, don't give me those blank looks!")River as a superhuman...yeah. I don't know. I'm willing to wait and see what he superpowers end up being.
See, I'm in the camp that's not totally convinced that Spacesuit!girl is absolute Melody Pond/River Song! I still think she could turn out to be someone else entirely. Yeah, it would be awkward to introduce yet another little girl with Time Lord traits at this point, but it's most definitely possible! And:
why didn't she remember any of the events of TIA/DOTM?
That is a very good point! (In fact, I may need to borrow this reasoning and bring it over to a discussion I'm having elsewhere...)
I didn't figure out the similarities with the names until right before the big reveal, so GOOD ON YOU for working it out, you smartypants, you! I was also disappointed that her identity turned out to be one that fandom had already guessed, but as other people have pointed out: it makes a lot of sense and goes a long way toward explaining her character, and also it leaves a whole lot of questions to be answered, which is good, considering we have six more episodes of this series to go! (WHY AREN'T THEY HERE YET?)
The characters of this ep were the best! (I totally knew the Blue Guy's name until five minutes ago. DAMN YOU, BRAIN!) I want to see each and every one of them again. I mean: Lorna Bucket just seemed to be too big a character for us to run into only once.
Yeah...that whole "fallen further" part is kinda BS. I mean: HE KILLED HIS ENTIRE RACE. That's pretty damn far to fall!
DAMNIT, I need more Who fans in my real life! For realz, the only person I regularly encountered in my real life who watched the show was one of my 10 year-old students, and now he is gone to summer camp! BOO! :P
