...but...um...WHAT.
I actually don't have a lot to say, because I don't know what to say. I'm not entirely sure what I just saw...
...a lot of stuff that made more sense at the time than it does when I stop to think about it, perhaps.
But I have thoughts and feelings. Well, mostly feelings.
Holy CRAP, costumers, please to be making Rory dress up like a 1960s physics grad student ALL THE TIME. That was AMAZING, and so was River's outfit in that scene. Also, I loved Amy's suit and the poof in her hair that went with it.
You know, I just...as far as the plot? I feel like about .05% was resolved. I mean, why did the Doctor die at the beginning of the previous ep? And what happened with the Silence, and there-not-there baby, and (oh god, don't fuck up a pregnancy storyline because I cannot take any trivializing of pregnancy or miscarriages right now, I really, really cannot), and who's River and what is with the little timeprincess waif?
So now we go to play pirates for a while, I guess? Whatevs. I still have feeeeeelings.
Such as, Canton Everett Delaware III, I <3 you, I really, truly do. Please come back! And not just to drop off the gas can.
In one of the preview vids the BBC posted, Arthur Davrill says, in an entirely adorable way, that you should have a pillow...or a family member...with you while watching this. He was NOT KIDDING. And the scariest scenes weren't even the ones he was in. That abandoned children's home and everything that happened there freaked me right the hell out.
Rory. RORY. Rory and his insecurity and not being sure who Amy loves until she, you know, tells him.
See, as much as I love Connie Willis's books, in any other hands, the whole "miscommunication leads to shenanigans and romantic complications" copout feels like...a copout. And silly. And so I actually QUITE ADORE the way they all talked about shit and confronted each other and were honest about it at the end there.
So please, I know, IknowIknow that it's sort of possible that Amy and the Doctor talked about what Rory had overheard when he was out in the room being amazed at River's amazing gunslinging skills and thus set up the whole conversation and maybe Amy was doing a bit of backpedalling...but I really DO NOT WANT to believe that. Please let this one honest thing be honestly just what it looks like.
In conclusion, I'd say I can't wait for next week, but really, I think that's going to be a lot of filler. I'm more anxious about what's coming later in the season. Because trying to work all this out on my own is just going to make my head hurt.
ETA: Also, why are the Silence wearing suits?
