Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited

Oh my god, Doctor Who. If you were looking for lengthy, rambling, insightful meta, this is not that post.

But here, have some Amy Pond being brave and heartbreaking and completely awesome, in picspam form.

Emotional intelligence, yes. Karen Gillan brings out Amy's various kinds of strengths and emotional layers so, so beautifully, and I think the writing was also top-notch in this ep. It was sad but amazing to watch too.

See, I agree with everything you're saying--except that you think it's no longer a kids' show. Kids get some of these things better than adults; I would have been all over this episode as a 9-year-old. :)

I <3 Doctor Who right now.

It seems written as an all-ages thing, with a lot put in for adults and kids. Which is maybe different than a kid-friendly show would've been written back in the day. The perception has shifted about the value of kids TV and literature in general.

Batman: The Animated Series was expressly for kids but they also made it purposefully so adults could enjoy it too.
