Okay, have new computer - but WoW is still being a tempermental bitch and will not download. SAD PANDA.

Reguarding the latest episode: as awesome as seeing Amy in pirate drag is, aside from the continuing overplot teases my reaction to this eppy was mostly "meh" with a side order of ( Spoiers! )

dragon spam, wow, dammit, meh, doctor who, tumblr

I don't think it's just your pissy mood. It feel flat for me, too. And killing (or almost killing) Rory at this point does not work as a suspense-builder. It just doesn't. Even if the previous ep kinda-sorta got away with it, just for the sheer WTF factor.

That's actually comforting.

At this point it's like trying to illicit a reaction by threatening baby kittens. Enough, guys. And I honestly think that's part of what was bugging me about this epp - it felt forced. Or half-assed. It felt like it came out of a Doctor-Who episode making program without having been vetted by a human. ...I dunno I'm still having trouble pinning it down.

RANDOMLY, you work at Staples call centre? I could have sworn I saw you the other day but I didn't want to gawk.

Yes I do. I am right next to the supply closet in SBD-US. Also, I am Gawkable at. ^_^

I'm on the Quill side, but I thought I'd seen you a couple times. Once talking on the phone, and the other coming from the cafeteria. I knew you'd gotten another centre job but I wasn't sure where. Now at least I don't feel like I'm cracking up anymore.

It fell flat for me too. As did the middle ep of Sherlock and that's probably no coincidence: same writer. Amy was great as a pirate though: "Yay, fun: sword play and swinging on ropes!"

Really? Huh. Because through odd coincidence I just watched that earlier the same day and that didn't fall flat for me at all. It's by far the weakest of the three, but goodness, that's just due to how extrodanarily awesome the first and third are.

Yeah, Amy really is the best part of that ep.

Excellent.

I'm glad you've got back into dragons. I shall make a point of visiting your scroll again each day.

Not only didn't I dig this last ep, it gave me weird dreams! Although... I didn't mind seeing Rory without his shirt on. God, I feel so dirty. I'm sure I am old enough to be his mommy but he totally has this adorable factor about him. I keep thinking he'd have made the best doctor ever. :(

Sexy, SEXY Rory! Lucky Amy.

He might still be one - unless you meant Doctor.

I meant Doctor as in Time Lord. But... after seeing this weeks episode I am sort of digging the evolution of his character. At first he just seemed like a third wheel.
