ifeelbetterOK, so I have the emotional memory of a goldfish, right--that's my preface to this entry. Or a warning. It could be more like a warning. ANYWAY.
But I never remember the RTD series being this good. I mean...last season was killer, yeah, and this two parter....I am still catching my breath. Like, literally. I was jumping up and down on the sofa. Just. OMG, yo.
FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: POP QUIZ.
Question: How awesome is River Song?
a) super megatron awesome
b) legen-wait-for-it-and-I-hope-you're-not-lactose-intolerant-because-the-next-part-is-dary
c) I would have allllll her babies. I would take out student loans on other wombs to have more of her babies.
d) all of the above and more because she's too awesome to quantify
Answer: duuuuuuh. It was D.
I have to admit, I was never quite sold on her character before. I feel like the Silence in the Library was not Moffat's best. I mean, it's a trick he's pulled before, right, the whole seemingly-innocuous-phrase-turned-terrifying. I wasn't impressed. But...it's like Moffat knew I wasn't impressed. Because now I'm in the same boat as the doctor--I've been discounting her pain for ages, just writing her off, and that's horrifyingly horrid of me/him. Also--the chemistry just wasn't there with Tennant and it just wasn't so much on last series. But this on...oh, it is on. And that last bit--the last/first kiss. Oh goodness. I just.
SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS: STUPID FACE.
YOUR FACE IS NOT STUPID, RORY, YOU GEM OF GEMS.
Remember how RTD tried to make us all sympathetic to Mickey's plight as the left-behind-guy back in the day? Remember how that failed because, duh, no one (not even Rose or, you know, Mickey) thought that was a real thing. That was an obvious plot device thing.
Yet another proof of the magic Moffat has in his fingers. Because Amy wouldn't be the character she is--these series wouldn't be right--Eleven wouldn't be as lovely--nothing would be right in the whole of creation, in short, if there wasn't a Rory. WITH HIS FACE. It's so brilliant how Amy and Rory work together and then--on top of that being the best of the best, there's the awesomeness of how each one relates to the Doctor. They're all such delicate, beautifully crafted relationships--I think Moffat might be my imaginary friend. There's no way someone so awesome could be real.
It's funny cuz I've shouted "YOUR FAAAAAACE, RORY!!" at my TV maaaaany times. And then Amy said it with me. OH, HIS FACE. I LOVE HIS STUPID FACE.
AND HIS GLASSES.
THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS: WTFery abounds.
WHO ARE YOU, LADY WITH ONLY ONE EYE? WHO ARE YOU?
WHO ARE YOU, TIMELORD BABY? ARE YOU AMY'S ON-AN-OFF-AGAIN BABY-ON-BOARD?
ALSO. Because I have no actual point about this but it's worth writing about in capslock:
HELLO. HI. I STILL LOVE YOU. I JUST DO. FOREVER. JUST. HI.
Also. I would totally play with Eleven's bowtie. Like. All the time.
GOD, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TIME BETWEEN WEEKS. COULD WE NOT MAKE THEM SHORTER, JUST FOR AS LONG AS DOCTOR WHO IS AIRING EPISODES? KTHX.
