The 'pile of good things' speech...it may well be one of my favorite things ever. Because YES, EXACTLY THAT. That is what hope looks like when you are stuck in your own head and you can't get out. It doesn't make it better, it can't. But, oh, you can have joy too.
Seriously, this was the best episode yet. Especially for what the Doctor went through. My god.
SOB POOR DOCTOR! HE's the only one who knows about Rory and he let Vincent see his efforts weren't in vain and he's SO SCARED of losing Amy he keeps blindly fighting the monster after everyone else has stopped! MY HEART IT IS BROKEN!
And Richard Curtis equally brought the funny. Impatient!Doctor who bothers all the great painters while they're trying to work and whose nightmare is having to sit and wait and do nothing! France:Holland::England:Scotland! The Doctor's INSANELY LONG image printout!
I've given up on coming up with ways to express how much I love Eleventy because there just aren't words that suffice.
And oh god AMY. Crying when she doesn't know why. Her absolute delight in art. How wonderful she was with Vincent. Her going after Eleven in the face of danger. <3 <3 <3
I did not cry watching it, but then I started bawling during the Confidential. And also SO MUCH HUGGING. And the Ultimate Ginger and "sorry about the beard" and OH SHOW.
De-lurking to say OHMYGODYES. I've seen quite a few comments already that the end was awful/mawkish/cheesy/badly done, but I was crying too hard to see straight.
Without getting too Personal Issues all over your journal, my sister has been seriously ill for about the last 15 years, up and down, and I thought the Doctor's speech about 'piles of good and bad things' was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in Doctor Who. It made me think of the last time my sister was hospitalised and how helpless I felt and how all I could do was record DW and Strictly for her, but maybe that added to the pile of good things.
The episode wasn't perfect but Amy thinking one big grand gesture would 'fix' Vincent's life and the Doctor knowing better really got to me. And the scene of them looking at the stars, and Van Gogh crying while the art guy talked about him, and Amy being sad and not knowing why, and Unexpected Hartnell, and Very Ginger children... *Flails* Beautiful.
The haters can just get the hell away from me. My show touched and something true and right in a way that is so hard to get, and if they can't see that...then I just feel sorry for them.
