Kiss me now, catch your death
This is me, not wanting to study for my cell bio exam or do my group theory work. Or much anything else productive. I've been a little bit off and about, which is due partially to just being busy with research and being a bit of sick recently. But I think I've caught up with most everything thus far?
Anyhow, oh lookie The God Complex.
1. I was a little sad that it didn't really quite follow up on what happened in the last episode with the god complex that Eleven had when dealing with Old!Amy, but eh.
2. Rory referring to his time on the TARDIS in the past tense? I feel like he's actually quite..literally, well. Checked out mentally, or what not.
3. The Doctor does have a god complex, and I suppose he's starting to realize the exact impact that he has when he gets people to go with him.
4. Annnnd the Doctor opens his door. And apparently is very shaken by who he sees there, and the Cloister Bell is ringing. It's supposed to be his most primal fear, which I don't think is his own death- or maybe it is? The people that he's failed? I think his faith would probably be in people, though.
5. Rory doesn't believe in anything and likewise, is not affected. He has no room, for whatever reason, because. He has no faith in anything- no spiritual, supernatural faith, but importantly, he doesn't have faith in either Amy or the Doctor. Which is is line with what happened to The Girl Who Waited...
6. And the Doctor breaks Amy's faith in a heartbreaking fashion.
7. I think that there's a massive mirror between the minotaur and the Doctor, especially with the minotaur's final commentary.
8. Whoa.
Did he just do that?
It's really really rare that the Doctor straight up tells a companion to leave. Leave while you're alive, while you're sane and whole. Usually, it's other circumstances or the companion's choice to leave (Martha) because it does wear you down.
I really didn't expect it to end with the Doctor leaving Amy and Rory, though.
Also, didn't you learn anything from your last time around as Ten without companions? Bending the laws of space and time?
Bonus points for, you know. Mentioning your daughter, Amy, though you seem to have accepted what's going to happen?
