Doctor Who - The Doctor's Wife

[logansrogue]

I actually watched it this morning with my sister. But dudes. DUDES.

I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH I DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING WORDS. I was super wary of having Neil Gaiman anywhere near New Who but OH MY GOD. He managed to make my FAVOURITE ROMANTIC EPISODE OF THE DOCTOR EVER. Cause, I always used to joke, you know, Doctor/TARDIS OTP. Cause seriously. Doctor/TARDIS OTP.

BUT NOW I CAN ACTUALLY SAY, DOCTOR/TARDIS OTP. AND MEAN IT. THEY ARE MEANT TO BEEEEE.

The amount of times Rory has died in the last two seasons is stupid. Can we lay off Rory now? Please?

The acting was brilliant. Matt Smith was just astoundingly good, especially at the bit when he was mad. Good God, that was brilliant.

I don't know if I have much clever to say, I'm just sitting over here, squeeing, bouncing, wondering if a new Ship has been born, and how many people are setting sail. *laugh*

I'm going to have to watch it again because I was in a 'mood' last night when it was on and I found most of it annoying. No, I found the Amy and Rory parts annoying. I don't know why. Oh, except they need to stop hurting/killing Rory!

I'll probably feel better about it today when I can focus.

Main thing that bugged me during those parts was:

Dear Amy and Rory - congratulations, you have figured out the Evil Thing is trying to separate you & mess with your heads. So, and this is just an idea mind you, why not HANG ON TO EACH OTHER??

SERIOUSLY. I was yelling at the screen HOLD HANDS YOU IDIOTS. THREE TIMES they were separated by doors. And why the fuck did Rory go off by himself when he could see and Amy couldn't instead of HOLDING ONTO HER?!

I'm going to have to watch it again mostly because my eyes kept falling shut; not Gaiman's fault -- I think I can blame the new antihistamine I took around 5 pm. which was supposed to be non-drowsy but probably not so much.

Other than the quibble mentioned above, I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH. It is my new favourite, and I am even more for Doctor/TARDIS OTP than I already was, and THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EPISODE.

Sexy: Do you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago?
Doctor: I chose you. You were unlocked.
Sexy: Of course I was. I wanted to see the universe so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away. And you were the only one mad enough.

Doctor: You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just wanna say, you know, *you* have never been very reliable!
Sexy: And you have?
Doctor: You didn't always take me where I wanted to go!
Sexy: No, but I always took you where you needed to go.
Doctor: ...You did.

Yes - this. I always knew the TARDIS was more alive/sentient than most gave her credit for! So. Much. LOVE.

Also, thanks Neil for cannonising the idea that timelords *can* switch gender while regenerating :)
