The Power of Three
I don't have much coherent to say, but basically I LOVED EVERYTHING. It was lovely and funny and bittersweet and dear in all the ways it ought to have been, and it made me feel simultaneously quite sad and strangely reassured about next week. When the Doctor tells Amy that she always gets what she wants, I think that might be the show's way of telling us that she and Rory will be more than all right. And when the victims of cardiac arrest--Eleventy included--recover and start to walk again, I think it might be the writers saying that the Doctor will have his heart broken, but that he, and we, will be okay eventually as well. They've said similar things in interviews about the new companion, if memory serves. But dear goodness, Ponds, will I miss you.
And now, for bullet points of squee:
-KATE, ILU AND YOUR RAVENS OF DEATH
-AMY AND THE DOCTOR GOING "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS"
-Amy and the Doctor's heartbreaking/lovely talk by the water
-Rory and Amy acting properly happy together again
-Rory and Amy being adorably domestic (esp. in their adorable pajamas)
-BRIAAAAAN
-Eleventy, why can't you sit still? Bless.
-The Doctor's anniversary present gone predictably wrong
-Brian Cox is on Doctor Who, oh dear goodness! My inner science fangirl is v. pleased.
Question: Why does the Doctor make that face at Amy when she tells Rory she left his scrubs in the lounge? Is it meant to be an innuendo thing, like, eww, I just realized they were having sex in their living room last night, and if so, why would Rory put on the same clothes again to go to work IN A HOSPITAL? Is that really sanitary?
Also question: Is the Henry VIII thing timey-wimeyness? Because last week the Doctor def said something to Rory about leaving his phone charger in Henry VIII's en suite.
Slightly spoilery question: Eleventy, if Amy and Rory get Weeping Angeled next week, as many have speculated, how will you ever tell poor Brian? Or Tabetha and Augustus, for that matter? D:
