OMG I love your picspams! You can really, really see the family resemblance between Karen and her cousin in this, it's positively eerie! And I've wanted to see some hi-res caps of the Pandorica-flying scene for a while now because they were absolutely gorgeous but over so quickly! Thank you! I also wanted to see if the debris looked like bits of the TARDIS or not.
PS: Oh, I love love love the cap of Eleven introducing himself to Amy's dad. *hearts* He just looks so happy to be an imaginary friend.
Ah the woman with red fingernails shooting the gun is River Song, inscribing the Old High Gallifreyan "Hello Sweetie" into the spaceship black box at the beginning of "Time of Angels"
And I do believe that Amy says, "Raggedy man, I remember you and you are late for my wedding!", lol. That bit was silly, and I think it might have had to do a teensy bit with timing and pace in that scene, but the fact that she yelled at him for being late made me forgive it :D
Oh and also, we don't know exactly when River and the TARDIS exploded, do we? The TARDIS locked her in a time loop ostensibly when they were in the Vortex trying to get away from 2010, and then the TARDIS explodes at all points in history at once. Therefore, River has sort of been in a time loop for 2000 years but sort of... not.
And also, the Pandorica keeps people from dying. When Ten took a bolt from a full-power Dalek in almost that same spot (side/shoulder) they had time to pull him back into the TARDIS before he started regenerating. So if the Doctor got himself into the Pandorica relatively quickly it would stop the regeneration process right? Because it wouldn't let him die. Um, provided it can do that while still being open...
(Oh and PS do you have a good cap of the Doctor saying "this will have to be goodbye" when holding the phone?)
--Yeah, the resemblance was much more marked in this ep! Teeny Amelia grew a little and it just leaps out now.~
--The special effects were gorgeous in this episode. The Pandorica, the crumbling Dalek, the burning TARDIS, the explosion, all the lighting in every scene -- magnificent. I didn't see the debris looking like bits of anything, but as you say, it went by so fast.
--Ah the woman with red fingernails shooting the gun is River Song, inscribing the Old High Gallifreyan "Hello Sweetie" into the spaceship black box at the beginning of "Time of Angels" ....OH!!!! Wow, you're right! It's really funny that should be the very last flashback; I'm wondering now if the rest of them were in order. Or maybe they were in direct chronological order rather than following the Doctor's timeline. That'd be cool.
--"Late"? Hmmmmmm, I'll have to relisten to that line. *has to do other stuff first though
( ... )
if it had been Plastic Amy settling down to quietly guard Pandorica Rory for two thousand years, would we call it heroically sacrificial love or pathetically needy inability to exist without her man?
I'd call it heroic sacrificial love, but then, I'm very equality-minded like that. :)
Actually, to expound a bit: it broke my heart when Rory did it, but it wasn't all that unexpected, because we already know Rory is devoted and good at waiting. If Amy did it? I think my brain might have briefly shorted out, because Amy is such a restless, active person, and it would be even more heroic coming from her. I mean, really; holy crap. :)
Ooh, excellent point. It'd definitely be a very different kind of waiting if Amy did it. In fact, I wonder if the Doctor would let her; he was afraid it would drive even Rory mad.
Sorry to be so repeatedly Pratchetty, but I noticed the repeated use of the word "delete", as well.
In Hogfather, the Auditors say that they want to, amonst other turns of phrase, "delete" the Hogfather. I think this is a rather appropriate way to say it, and isn't simply appealing to a younger generation. "Deleting" on a computer means that the thing never existed - there isn't a hole where the text used to be, it's as if it never was. In dead-tree-form, removing something means tearing a page out or scribbling over the words, both of which leave tell-tale marks where something used to be.
Though I do agree; it is over-used.
And many, MANY roffles were had @ "What sort of time do you call this, then?"
-nods- It's not the age of the word; I just got sick of it during the alt!Cybermen episodes: it seemed like a pathetic attempt to give them a catchphrase as appropriate to them as "Exterminate!" is for the Daleks, but it just wasn't impressive at all; it might have been my computer talking, and I don't take my computer seriously. :P It might be a logical word for Cybermen to use, but it wasn't chilling. And then I just started headdesking on reflex every time the word occurred at all.
* On the "Okay, kid" line, I got this weird Dark Phoenix flashback - something about the way Amy's hair and eyes go, along with how that's a total Claremont line. Still haven't decided what (if anything) I want to do with that...
* Gender politics: I think that's one of the biggest things I love about Rory, that he kind of subverts gender politics just by being a really nice awesome person. ...I don't entirely know where I'm going with this, but I first started Definitely Liking him back in "Eleventh Hour" when everyone I know who was into gender politics was cheering for Amy not turning round while the Doctor was changing clothes, and I was liking Rory because he did turn round (even though societally he wouldn't strictly have to because he's a guy, and so's the Doctor), because he is just that polite sort of a person
( ... )
--T'would be interesting if you did. *intrigued -- wow, they're even both ginger :D*
--Yeah; I think it is important. Whatever it turns out to be. :/ because he is just that polite sort of a person. THIIIIIIIIIS. THIS THIS THIS.
--YES. Plastic Rory! :D (And yes, that one I'm pretty sure I did read, and it was made of amazing and I should find it and read it again.
--Ahahaha, he does. But I'm liking that he has a thing for hats just like Two did.~
--IT WAS.~ It reminds me of him and Idris riding after the TARDIS in the Neil Gaiman episode -- gorgeous animation. and yes he should definitely bring Bessie out of retirement!
--Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.~
--INDEED. And that is a brilliant point about INHERENTLY CAPSLOCK. *needs an icon of that now*<3

... Now I want an icon of the Doctor captioned "I live for a sigh, I die for a kiss, I lust for a laugh, HA-HA!"
Please just ignore that if you weren't referencing what I thought you were referencing.
Also? WHY DO I NOT HAVE A RORY ICON.
