i loved it! it made me laugh, it made me cry.
it made me scream "but what about all these things that haven't been answered yet??"
but right now, i really just kinda don't care. it made me happy :)
couple things to note: myfanwy! and rory fucking williams!!!
now, on to merlin...
EDIT:
yes, a million questions still unanswered, but the biggest one for me atm is how and when did amy become a melty person thingy? did that get explained and i missed it? or is it just one of those MANY plot holes??? i still love you doctor :)

i love craig!
i love craig and sophie!
i love craig and the doctor! i love craig and the doctor and the baby!
the baby! so frickin cute :)
and i really do like the new coat.
but ugh :( cybermen AGAIN? what a wasted episode for craig in and amongst all this ridiculous storyline this season! while i enjoyed the episode, the "monster of the week" was completely stupid and non-scary and lame and a waste. what was the point??
and dear god, can next week just be the END? please?? can we finally just get a fucking CONCLUSION???
what started out as a REALLY cool concept is just being overdone and overshadowed by all the "wow" they keep trying to flash in our eyes, and i just kinda don't CARE anymore and keep thinking ENOUGH ALREADY!
ugh. i love you doctor, but i don't know if i trust in moff anymore :(
tangent: rory!

slooow. boooring. laaame.
The Girl Who Waited
this made me teary eyed, but i didn't cry or bawl like i was lead to believe i would. while the rory and amy dynamic was awesome, i just wasn't that sad about old amy. i guess i'm too logical, because she WON'T die. she will have NEVER existed. they saved amy and she didn't have to go thru with all that. i don't see that as sad/horrible/wrong. why all the fuss? they fix-ed it.
still finding it odd that they apparently DO NOT CARE about the missing baby. amy grows to hate the doctor, but only because he left her. absolutely NO mention of the baby she never saw or knew or whatever. FIX THIS.
i love rory. i want a rory! it's really fucking depressing to know i'll never have someone who loves me like that. /emo

Aug. 28th, 2011 05:42 pmLet's Kill Hitler
i'm feeling extremely ambivalent about this episode. which i suppose is par for the course.
i was absolutely bored the first 15-20 minutes, and was really annoyed by "mels", this sudden best friend that had apparently been there all along. or was this river changing the timeline or something so that she could finally spend time with her parents or something? is confusing. regardless, she and this annoyed me.
how did the little girl in the alley in the 60's end up growing up with amy and rory? confusing.
river's personality changes were crazy and confusing. mels apparently loved amy, rory and the doctor? regeneration into river turns her into brainwashed murderer, then saving the doctor turns her into the river we know and love and she is no longer brainwashed?
so amy and rory never find their baby or anything? the search is over and they are apparently okay with this? that is horrible and awful and sad and i REALLY don't like it :(
what i did like was seeing rose, martha and donna. that was kinda nice. and wee amelia pond. loves.
fuck you american tv stations and your damn commercials that have shortened every episode this season!
ugh, if i didn't love some of these actors and characters so much i might stop watching, because i feel like moffat has bitten off way more than he can chew. if you are gonna be this crazy with your plot, you've got to be able to steer clear of all the plot holes!

so yeah. this was a really boring episode. i didn't like it at all. plus, there wasn't anything new and interesting about it. oh no, doubles. let's take each other out. never seen that before.
and i knew we'd see a ganger doctor right from the get go, so i found the ending a bit anti-climactic in that regard.
the melted flesh look totally grossed me out. that just makes me really almost nauseous. blech.
unknown eye-patch lady popped up again.
what was up with trying to create tension between jennifer, rory and amy? that seemed way unnecessary, and just after i thought we'd finished with the so-called triangles. i don't want soap opera in my who, thanks.
and what a waste of a two-parter. that really annoys me.

i wasn't too fond of the beginning of this ep, but once the doctor and the tardis started interacting, i LOVED it. how awesome was it to see them talk and interact and really communicate? so cool! and so sad :(
rory was brilliant, as always. STOP KILLING HIM DAMNIT! and he SO is the pretty one :)
also, "the only water in the forest is river" (which is river song, yes?). we'll see where that comes in to play in the future (hopefully).

May. 1st, 2011 01:04 pmDay of the Moon
okay, WHAT THE FUCK?
so is amy really pregnant? it was positive/negative so even the doctor doesn't know. is the little girl amy's daughter? but the little girl looked like a time lord regenerating. so is she the doctor? is amy the doctor's mother? ha ha. or is amy the mother of the little girl and the doctor is the father? so the little girl is a new time lord? a new "the doctor's daughter"?
seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?
if the little girl is the doctor, then the doctor kills himself? altho, it could have been ANYBODY in the space suit at that point in time, not necessarily the little girl anymore. way to totally NOT EXPLAIN that whole "dying" on the beach thing, people. WHAT THE FUCK?
poor rory. i don't know if amy is being honest with him or not. i love rory. but does amy?
and poor river. but why didn't she know that was the doctor's first kiss with her? doesn't she keep track in that little blue book? or is the whole him "dying" thing screwing with the timelines even more than normal? or does she really not always know where they are in their timelines? that would make sense since it IS completely confusing. EDIT 6: so was that river's last kiss with the doctor? so does she know she's going to die soon then? so sad :( EDIT 7: no, it couldn't be her last kiss, since i'm sure the doctor kisses her the last time he sees her before she dies, per her telling him in 'silence in the library' or whatever that ep was called.
also, is the silence gone now? did they leave? are they all being shot and killed by the human race from now on? is that the END of "the silence" story arc? do they remember the silence or not? did seeing the video break their little memory wipe trick on everybody? EDIT 3: apparently it is the silents (as in the plural of a silent, which is the name of the alien?)
so many questions, never enough answers! i love this flippin show, but it is so frustrating!
EDIT: oh, wait! but river felt sick after seeing the aliens too? is she pregnant? is the little girl hers and the doctors? and the photo was just auntie amy pond holding river and the doctor's baby?
EDIT 2: i have read that a lot of people think that the little girl is amy and rory's and that she is river song. and that she can regenerate because she was born on the tardis. how interesting! so then river would be a kind of time lord? and that's why she ends up connecting/marrying the doctor? and that's how the doctor knows her when she is younger and she first meets him? so then amy and rory would be her parents, but she doesn't know that? or she just hides it REALLY WELL. spoilers! grr argh.
EDIT 4: but if the little girl is river song (like some people are suggesting) but she isn't a time lord (because the doctor would have sensed that) but CAN regenerate, then how many regenerations does she have? which regeneration is river at now? and why didn't she regenerate when she died in 'silence in the library'? unless she only got the one regeneration, or was out of all hers at that point. and why WOULDN'T the doctor be able to sense that in someone? the ability to at least have regenerated once in their life. to have that energy inside them. i'm making myself a bit crazy thinking about this, heh.
EDIT 5: who was the woman in the children's home with the eye patch who said something like "no, she's just dreaming." what the fuck was that?

i'm so confused! this show drives me batty sometimes, and this is one of those times. as per usual with two parters, this one was "all about the set up" while the second part will be a "rush to explain" i'm sure.
is amy actually pregnant? or is this part of the whole forgetting about the alien thing? probably not, so she probably is. wee rory! how awesome would that be :)
and the doctor can't actually DIE as eleven. we still have regenerations left!
also, so sad about elisabeth sladen. i cried when i found out :(

i loved the timey wimey bill & ted's stuff. i loved amelia. i loved lone centurian rory. i loved river. i loved everything!
i can see how someone who doesn't like rory would be not happy, but i don't fucking care. i LOVE rory and will be SO excited if it's both him and amy as companions next season.
i'm so pleased with this i can't even say. but also sad that it is now over. why do you have such short seasons :(
can't wait til christmas!

this episode was awesome and brilliant and amazing! i can't wait til next week to see the resolution.
and... rory! i was so excited to see him and that bit with him and the doctor was so fabulous and funny and i adore their relationship. and then... fuck! it isn't rory :(
my guess had been that it would be the doctor in the box. but omg how awful was that! poor doctor.
still, love love loved this ep :)

omg i loved this episode! so funny and awesome and adorable.
the doctor was hilarious and i laughed so much. and both craig and sophie were absolutely wonderful!
i didn't mind it being amy lite because it emphasized that she does kinda annoy me a lot at times. (and i have to say it... her nails drive me nuts)
so yay! great episode :)

i didn't particularly enjoy this episode, but vincent made me cry so hard. his story really moved me, but the doctor and amy and the alien was kinda lame.
EDIT: i did like the references to rory, and amy not knowing she's sad or crying. and i do love the doctor, he had some wonderful sweet and funny moments.

Jun. 1st, 2010 12:10 amThe Hungry Earth and Cold Blood
i didn't particularly care for this set of episodes. i thought amy's acting was pretty bad and that put me off. and then the grandpa and the other lady kissing was bleurgh and i had to look away. and the mom annoyed me (as most do). i liked the bit where the doctor was talking to the little boy. and, of course, i still love rory :)
too bad they decided to KILL HIM. god damn you doctor who. stop fucking killing people i like. and then he is forgotten. never to have been born or anything. this whole crack/amy storyline better be fucking spectacular or i'll be really annoyed. oh, wait... too late.
but... there is the ring. the ring was still there in the tardis. so that must mean something, right? RIGHT?
only 4 more episodes to go. i don't know if that makes me happy or sad. i'm quite the bi-polar fan.
oh, whoniverse, you conflict me so!

Doctor Who S5E7
May. 15th, 2010 08:44 pmAmy's Choice
this was a very un-Doctor Who type episode for me. of course, i'm only familiar with new who, so i could be wrong. this type of story is a common fixture in a lot of sci-fi shows and i tend not to enjoy them because they freak me out. dream lord guy is creepy as fuck.
i really like rory and i felt sorry for him. and, okay. seriously. why the fuck did they do that whole ponytail thing? why make him look so stupid? i found that annoying. i'm glad that, in the end, amy chose rory over the doctor (sort of) but did she really?
i dunno. this episode leaves me ambivalent.
the doctor saying that the dream lord was really him was pretty hardcore. dark doctor indeed.
also, i loved that it was snowing in the leadworth scenes. i just thought it was very pretty.

May. 9th, 2010 11:11 pmThe Vampires of Venice
i enjoyed this episode but it wasn't exactly amazing.
i really like rory a lot and i loved the beginning bit with his stag party and the doctor jumping out of the cake. what i don't like is how i see this becoming another rose/mickey situation because i HATED that. SO MUCH. but it looks like the doctor sees this as well, which is why he went and got rory and gave them that whole speech at the beginning and the 'date' thing. so hopefully this will work out better, but i'm not holding my breath.
i liked the speech rory gave the doctor about how he makes people want to impress him by putting themselves in danger.
it also doesn't look like i was right about the 'something is wrong with amy' thing and that's why she went after the doctor at the end of the last episode. it looks like they are just playing it as "i'm alive, let's have sex."
the whole 'silence' thing reminds me of 'the nothing' in the neverending story (one of the most awesomest movies ever). and i notice that in every episode the doctor is telling people to 'shut up' or 'sshhhh' or something to that affect. coincidence? i think not. correlation? i don't know.
also... gilbert! the son was the same guy who played gilbert in season one of being human.
and it sucks that the doctor is so intent on saving the earth that he is willing to kill an entire species. it seems like something should be able to be worked out. and yes, he was trying to save the lady (who was an awesome actress btw) at the end in what i am sure was an attempt to do just that, but still.

i absolutely LOVED this episode! the doctor was so amazingly awesomely brilliant!
there were some "scientific" wtf's, but when aren't there? it was so awesome i didn't care :)
BUT. the end. with amy. in the bedroom. bleurgh!!! that had me cringing in a BAD way.
also... "i made him say comfy chairs" LOVES the doctor!
