The Whovian Files: hmmm

This episode was...  On the whole disappointing.  Not from a plot point of view, or an excitement point of view, or even, to some extent, a writing point of view.  No.  I have my reasons and shall state them in a minute.

"Well. I would go BESERK. I would tear that ship apart. I would tear those PEOPLE apart until they stopped causing my daughter pain. I would have screamed and screamed and..."

If it was a typical mother/daughter relationship, yes. In Amy's place I probably would have reacted exactly as she did, because knowing intellectually that Melody is her daughter and feeling that connection/thinking of her that way are two different things.

[delta_mai]

Yeah I guess. But for the friend connection alone, both with Melody and River, I feel Amy would have acted differently. Just pisses me off.

With how confused things were, I'd not know what to do and ask the Doctor too.

[delta_mai]

You'd ask the Doctor to tell you how to feel?!

[noybusiness]

No, what to do. Amy didn't ask how to feel.
