Quick between ep review.
- Amy and Rory in eyepatches. UNF.
- Amy and Rory being bad-ass. UNF.
- Doctor and River banter. UNF.
- This episode suffers from Moffat's recurrent desire to put as much as possible into one episode until it becomes confusing and beyond any kind of suspension of disbelief.
- Also not a fan of breaking an intense moment (River killing the Doctor) with a wink (River's "hello sweetie" and turning it all around). I just find it jarring.
- That said, I do love all the references to past eps. <3
- And also, I missed two eps (aargh), so I don't know if this came up before, but I do love the twist of the Doctor needing to die, and it no being an inevitable act of evil or something.
- I love the atmosphere of this ep. It's making me like it rather a lot in spite of its flaws. Also, it's very pretty. I expect it'll render a lot of icons. :D
- OK, I'm sorry but I lol'ed at the end. How does this even make sense? Onto the next series, I suppose!
All in all, I did like it a lot better than I expected! :DDD
Ooh, Merlin's starting already! That was fast. /out
