OMG DOCTOR WHO.
Oh, they dedicated it to Lis. <3
Holy crap I think River is my favorite now. Aside from correcting bits of the TARDIS' disguise since Eleven couldn't do it properly (bless) she was just as at sea and shattered as the others, and she broke my heart a bit. Also, I really adored her speech to Rory; I love the idea that River's whole world was the Doctor, and she's growing out of it as she gets older but that he still left such a mark; it makes Forest of the Dead that much better, too, because it makes her actions there make so much sense.
I also love that Eleven inspired the statues on Easter Island. Naturally.
I adore everything about Rory (especially "let's do this properly" oh RORY) and everything about Mark Sheppard, who -- aside from Romo I think that's the most genuinely likable and nice character I've ever seen him play! I wonder why he wasn't allowed to get married. (My first thought is that he was in love with a Russian woman.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
polarisnorth suggested he's gay. I like both of these.)
Re: Amy, I ... dunno. I mean, I really love her quiet intense freakout when the Doctor was dead, but I am very unsure how I feel about her being pregnant! On the one hand, it's a good and graceful way to write her and Rory off at the end of the season; on the other, I'm not sure I buy Amy pregnant. WHO KNOWS. Also, why had she and Rory gone two months without seeing the Doctor? Why'd he dropped them at home and run off? It sounds like he's doing that now? I know they had to be in separate places at the beginning of the episode, but I have no idea why.
Other things I am not sure of: the Doctor's death! I mean, it's quite possible that Amy has just stopped it and started a headachy paradox, but if she didn't, if things sort themselves out ... well, he'd better have a backup copy of himself somewhere, is all I'm saying, or the next production team will have a hell of a time with Twelve. Let's assume that the death is real but reversible.
And OH GOD THOSE CREATURES. NIGHTMARES. Are they officially the Silence? Or the Silents? Or some variation? Until I know for sure, they are Lightning-Skull-Dementors In Suits, and they terrify the hell out of me. Also, they seem to be the ones with the Lodger's pseudo-TARDIS! I am excited about that! I wasn't expecting it, although really it is a bit expected in the best possible way.
Oh and ETA HOW DID I FORGET THIS: Doctor/River, guys. Holy crap. They were getting their flirt on hardcore this time. I think I am really starting to ship it.
IS IT NEXT WEEK NOW.

*nodsnods* Reinette and Romana do fit the mold to certain to various degrees. There's also an element in being practicals in way he is *not*. Complimenting each other.

...And, though I don't really think River actually is the Master (for many, many reasons) I can't help laughing at the possibility that when she went, "I'm River Song. Check your records," the Dalek went:
INQUIRY: RIVER SONG, ASSOCIATE OF THE DOCTOR
> RIVER SONG, ALIAS: SEE ENTRY: THE MASTER
>>THE MASTER: OH SHIT
Because the Master absolutely would make a Dalek beg for mercy, especially if he were freaking out about the Doctor being apparently dead.
...Or maybe that's just me.

That poor Dalek. I have also have had the scenario play through my head.
No, River is the Master is fun crack, but I absolutely don't think the show is going to go there. She talks to much about seeing him for the first time, for one.

Also, thank you for that, because your dramatization of the Dalek's record-checking process just made me laugh until my stomach hurt. <3
