[Doctor Who] 6.12 "Closing Time"
I am going to try very hard not to crack any Semisonic-related jokes.

Agreed. That said, at the very least, I would've just been happy with some general acknowledgement that whenever something happened, it actually meant something. I mean, they had a lot of really traumatic stuff happen to them this season, but that's okay! They're fine! Stolen baby? What stolen baby? What do you mean Amy was kidnapped and used as an incubator for nine months and woke up in labor in the middle of a sterile tube with no idea how she got there? NONE OF THAT STUFF IS THE SLIGHTEST BIT TRAUMATIC. Have some tea! It's fine! That stuff happens to me all the time! No big! Pfft!
And it's the summer ones too which means there is nothing I am interested in happening. At least the Winter Olympics have figure skating and ice dancing. Lamesauce.
I'm going to be a dork and confess that I am a HUGE fan of rhythmic gymnastics - an event which hasn't been televised in the US since the mid-90's. And that was the only event I really cared about. (If I'm really bored, I can watch the gymnastics competitions, but that's about it.)

Yeah, I've been banging that drum for a while myself. Like I said last week, I kept hoping for a big dramatic confrontation, or at least some acknowledgement of the enormity of what had happened to Amy and Rory. And it just kept not happening, or we'd get these little half-gestures. Which, I guess it's fine if that's not the story Moffat wanted to tell, but it's the story I wanted to see.
Suppose that means I should start exercising my fic muscles again. Okay. I can do this. Ready . . . now. "Once upon a midnight dreary, while the Doctor pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore . . ."
Hmm. Needs work.
