The Power of Three
My general reaction:
1. Plot? What plot?
2. nope too many Pond feelings abort abort
Other stuff:
-- "you were the first face this face saw," "you're seared on my hearts," I think I need to lie down. That whole scene was dear and it broke my heart in the best way. Also, I do not have the words for how much I love how very much the Doctor loves Amy and Rory, but the fact that he just wants to stay with them for a while, because he misses them, is completely darling.
-- Randomly - I liked that Rory was just as keen to keep adventuring as Amy in this episode, but that he also stood up to the Doctor's dismissal of his job and his everyday life: "What you do isn't all there is." YES. (And poor Amy, standing there, looking deliberately away like, "Well, this is awkward...") And I *loved* that Amy was the first to say, surprised, "I like it" with regards to real life. You can love both things, and find it hard to choose.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Brian's kind of riding roughshod over whatever decision Amy and Rory were trying to come to, but I do quite like the fact that he recognizes that he can't let his fears keep them from traveling. (It also makes me more worried about the Ponds' departure, because now Brian can have guilt if something bad happens to them, not just the Doctor, and I worry that the double guilt might have been too much for certain devious showrunners to resist, but oh well, can't know till next week.)
-- My brain may still be singsonging "Rory kissed the Doctor, Rory kissed the Doctor..." You'll never know.
