'cause i'm half sick of shadows.
I kind of loved this episode. I mean, well, it was pretty standard Doctor Who for the most part and while there were good bits it wasn't magnificent until the very last ten minutes or so.

THE TARDIS, THROUGH THE CRACK AND ALL BURNT AND THE DOCTOR'S FACE AND D:
BUT MOSTLY RORY.
Oh my gosh, I was so devastated. I am so devastated. I love Rory, he's quickly wormed his way into one of my favourite DW companions slot just by being adorable and awesome and they gave us flashbacks of him tripping all over his feet and it was amazing and then he died. Superifically, the the crack swallowing him was beautiful but I was trying so hard not to cry like a baby because my sister was sitting in the room with me (normally, I watch DW alone with the living room door shut so crying like a baby is never noticed).
I refuse to believe Rory won't be coming back. I've known for weeks that he will be in the finale--or, well, the Internet has been telling me that he will be and I am putting my trust in the Internet because it told me last week that Rory would die this week. So even though I knew I was still--just, what. I mean, I was absolutely speechless and incoherent and I still am.
Matt Smith and his face and his adorable-ness continues to make me squee. I'm really enjoying him as the Doctor, like you wouldn't believe. Karen was really good this episode, I think. The scene where Rory died, boy did she bring it. I loved that the Doctor had to carry her away and thought that Gillan was marvellous in that scene. Her desparation and her pleading, her shock and horror was so devastating that if my sister hadn't been there I probably would have curled into a ball and cried for a good half hour. And it was even worse because then she just forgot. Oh, god, it still makes me sad thinking about. I don't think I'll be able to rewatch for a bit.
In a happier department, the episode left me with so many fic ideas and last night I wrote 6000 words of Doctor Who fic, Rory-centred. I like it! I will need to get someone to read over it and all because I'm not entirely sure it makes sense outside of my head but pfft. I haven't stayed up 'til ass o'clock in the morning writing in ages so I'm pretty chuffed with myself.
