Tenth Doctor does not approve of your shenanigans. (He wanted shenanigans all to himself.)

Dear lord, I am turning into one of those people -- yes, that's right, those people who post Doctor Who episode recaps/responses right after the episodes air. I don't think I've done this for a television show before, ever. But this is not just a television show. This is Doctor Who. And this week's episode requires some discussion.

I have no Doctor Who icons. I think I may need to remedy this IMMEDIATELY.

I probably don't have the same perspective on this as you have, considering I have only seen bits and pieces of Doctors Nine and Ten, and so the only Doctor for whom I have watched every episode is Eleven. (I plan to rectify this state of affairs this summer, when I have a whole lot more time

Hehehe, I lack coherency just as much as (if not more than!) you so don't worry. But apparently I also lack brains, because for me the line about fancying someone you shouldn't didn't resonate with me AT ALL as something that could apply to the Doctor and Amy. I win the oblivious prize for that one.

And maybe "integrity" wasn't the right word to use there -- because yes, relationships DON'T make awesome ladies weak (and if they did there would be trouble in my future). It's just, seriously ladies, I can understand wanting the Doctor, but please don't jump him the night before your wedding!! Doctor is such a heartbreaker and a homewrecker. Probably I should blame him instead of/in addition to Amy?

(Also, your icon comment is identical to one I made a month ago that result in my DW icon. And I still am on the lookout for a better one.)

Oh, really? To me it was like, "hahaha, she's been in love with him since she was little, y'know". (Or, well, at least this idealized hero-version of him. Which is probably a little bit what this kiss-and-pull-back bit was about, her being in love with an idealized Doctor and knowing and understanding him, but not completely. Which I think could be a direction that the show will take.)

I mean, I guess it's kind of both their faults in a way? She was the one who jumped him, after all, and we can't put her decisions in his hands. Plus, he didn't know it was her wedding - she made the choice to skip out on it. (A decision that I... don't really blame her on, personally? I dunno, your opinion my vary.) But then at the same time, he'd never really explicated this stuff either.

(And yet, I still have no icon.)

Okay, I don't blame him for not knowing it was her wedding. And yes, if the Doctor came down and said I could go travel with him, I'd go. But I wouldn't then come back and snog him the night before I was going to get married...? I don't think? I dunno, still working this all out in my head.

Haha, yeah, I dunno. I am still sorting it out, too. I suppose I'm gonna hold off judgment until next week's episode. Definitely the kiss bit threw me off guard a little bit, though.
