Doctor Who - 5x07, 5x08, 5x09
Things I loved about the latest three Doctor Who episode, and one thing I didn't.
5.07 Amy's Choice
The frosted Tardis was very beautiful.

This:
This episode was just beautiful and strange. All the disoriented moments were beautifully acted and well directed. Makes me want to read the Sandman comics again. Hmm, Sandman/Doctor Who crossover. That's a nice thought.
Disliked: The Doctor was too quick in letting Amy commit suicide, but that was just one niggling part in an otherwise very successful episode.
5.08 The Hungry Earth + 5.09 Cold Blood
Amy and Rory waving at their future selves! I hoped that that got worked into the story more later, and it seems that it has.
The Doctor gets called out on his major FAIL of being too absorbed in interesting gadgetry and puzzles to pay attention to the well-being of people more vulnerable than himself.
The Doctor telling Ambrose to put away the weapons - frightening. What Matt Smith does there with a bit of subtle facial expression and tone reminds me of The way Zachary Quinto played Spock's "Live long and [go f**k yourself]" in the Star Trek reboot. I'll link you to crycrywolf's picspam that has all the reasons I love the Eleventh Doctor.
The truth is, there was so much more about this two parter for me to dislike than like but I'll point out only one thing: Who is this Nasreen Mary-Sue person and why does she act like she's been traveling with the Doctor?
A little random factoid about me for the game at drwholand:
When I was little I could never understand why I needed to go shopping for clothes with my parents, after all, the ones I had would just keep growing along with me, so why replace them?
