Doctor Who 6x11 - The God Complex:
This doesn't exactly make it better, but I was thinking, and if the 'trick' to overcome the minotaur/thingy was to let go of your faith, saving Rita would have meant the Doctor convincing her that her faith was not worth believing in, or something, and that would have been frankly disturbing and wrong television. So, er, I don't know?
Rita was adorable though, and I nominate her for future companion. Death? What death? funny enough, the actress was in The Darjeeling Limited, ALSO being called Rita, haha.
And just like the rest of fandom, I disliked the 'Amy Williams' bit. I don't think it was meant outright like that, and rather it just ignored the connotations behind it.
Other than that though, it was a lovely episode. The minotaur reminded me a lot of the faun in Pan's Labyrinth, and the scenes with it and the Doctor through all that water were great. And of course the ending was sad and depressing but also beautiful in a way. I know it's not the last time we'll see the Ponds though, so it's just bitersweet at the moment.
