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.

SHE IS BLOODY GORGEOUS OMG and YES I APPROVE to the Jack and River adventures because omg. That show. Would be so epic all other shows would simultaneously cease to exist because it's too awesome. And yeah, the relationship between River and the Doctor was just the best part of the episode and, to me, made it worth the stuff I didn't like. The development!!! The dramatic irony!!! The angst!!! The chemistry!!!

I just can't.

Apparently. Sexist I guess would be a more fitting definition. I think teh feminitz of teh intarwebs are little too eager with the word misogynist. If it's used too much then it diminshes what it really means. And yes, I am guilty of this and will attempt to fix in future lol.

And yeah of course. I'm not in any way ignoring incidences like that, or throwing Moffat in with those kind of people. He's not like that. I think, at least. I actually don't know the man so I don't know, he could be. It's just that there's been too much of Amy blaming and Amy doing nothing and Amy being the victim recently. But that's probably just me being pedantic again!

Yeah I liked that quote :D That one made me giggle a bit. Though I still don't like the Doctor suddenly being someone who makes comments like that. He didn't in any other regenerations I know (all 3 of them lol) and it adjusts the whole character for me. Because the subconcious motivation to make those comments, to my psycholligcally uneducated brain lol, either comes from social conditioning (and there's no mention of this sort of casual sexism in Galifreyan culture, that I know of), or a latent sexism/misogyny. And neither of those options seem to fit the Doctor. Unless he's picked it up from Earth culture of course. And somehow it's only prominent in this regeneration... I dunno. In any case, Eleven was my fave Doctor and now I'm leaning back towards Ten. And that's Moffat's fault.

LOL YAY CAKE

Except I'm pretty sure that offer expires after a week or so! :O
