I JUST. YOU CAN CURE A LIFE-THREATENING BLOOD CLOT WITH SOMETHING YOU FOUND UNDER YOUR DESK, BUT YOU CAN'T ZAP A HEART INTO RHYTHM? REALLY? Also, that screenwriter should get you riled up because what the fuck is wrong with that guy and why does Moff keep hiring him.

For some reason that struck me as a Gilligan's Island "if the Professor can make a nuclear device out of coconuts, why can't he build a working raft" situation, and I heartily agree with you.

It's because they're soul-bonded, so Amy keeps getting the two of them confused?

dsudis June 6 2011, 12:12:25 UTC

Don't. I. wish. *g*

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING. Seriously, the ENTIRE EPISODE dealing with Amy choosing between Rory and The Doctor threesomes are still the answer to this question, show was LAST SEASON. These not-naming asspulls are just getting more exasperating every time.

Just--this love triangle, you resolved it to everyone's alleged satisfaction! Please stop milking the non-existent tension!

I probably felt better about this one since my first thought was, 'Tell me they're not trying to say the Doctor's somehow her father. TELL ME.' And then they did! Low expectations win the day every time.

I resent having my expectations lowered that far, is all. *g*

AND OY, SPACEMAN, YOUR SONIC DOESN'T HAVE A DEFIBRILLATE SETTING?

If it makes it any better, the only way a defibrillator works is if the heart *is* beating. You can't shock asystole and get a rhythm, no matter how many times they do it on ER. BUT the Doctor should totally be able to grab some atropine and/or epinephrine, and frankly, with the number of humans he tends to have on board, that should be regular stock. Besides which, the TARDIS thinks he's the pretty one and can spit out a sonic screwdriver at a moment's notice, so not an amp of epi for the drowned guy?

That said, yes. As much as I loved that sequence, enough is enough.

dsudis June 6 2011, 23:35:24 UTC

Well, given that Rory struggled back to full consciousness on his own, presumably his heart was beating--but, yeah, you know what I mean! The TARDIS has to be able to handle this!

firefly124 June 6 2011, 23:41:52 UTC

Yeah, that actually didn't make any sense at all either. LOL I do know what you mean. The whole setup was absurd. I did like the ep other than that though.
