Doctor Who 5x13

In which I belatedly expand on those exclamation points, after spamming the frak out of tumblr:


+ PERFECT. PERFECT.

+ Confession: Not that some of you don't already know this from other posts, but I have not cared particularly much about Amy/Rory at all this season. Didn't think it was believable, still kind of don't, HOWEVER: this episode wore me down, I love Rory to absolute pieces, and the idea of him guarding her for 2,000 years just melted my cold black heart. I can't even deal. He's always been lovely, but now I actually kind of like them together, which is a change.

JUST AS WELL, AS HE IS NOW IN THE HAREM FOREVER. <3333

+ Eleven has far surpassed Nine as my favorite Doctor. I still love Nine to bits but OH MY GOD. I just feel what he feels, I believe him entirely, and MATT SMITH'S FACE. It would take more time than I have to even explain all the things I love about him. He made me teary in about three separate instances in this episode alone.

+ I didn't think Amy would die, but I'm still breathing a major sigh of relief because my biggest fears didn't quite come to fruition (that Amy herself wasn't real).

+ I didn't really trust Moffat as much as most people. Not because I haven't loved him in the past - his episodes in RTD's seasons are easily my favorites - but because I'm not easy to trust show creators in general anymore, and he's dropped the ball on some things this season. But omg I have to say that overall he delivered, probably my favorite season out of the five - tied with S3 at the very least. He's a masterful storyteller and this two-parter especially was perfection. Best two-parter and best finale of any season that I've watched.

+ So happy Amy is back and Team Tardis is intact and now the mystery is sort of solved, she will get to have fuller storylines in season six. Love her so much. ♥

+ Ickle!Amy! <333 I'm freshly heartbroken over her backstory, how she's slowly been losing her family in the crack, and kind of face-palming that I never considered the possibility before in all the theories that have been circulating. But yay for a happy ending!

+ RIVER. I ... guys. I love her SO. MUCH. Haters to the left forever. And it looks like she'll have some part in season six which thrills me. And I have never shipped her and the Doctor as hard as I do now. SO HARD. So gorgeous and heartbreaking in their way. Can't wait to see what's next.

Christmas special! BRING IT ON. And release that score, plz.

I don't want to make this call to early, I reckon I need at least three more series, but I think Matt Smith could very possibly be the best Doctor ever.

Yes, this.

he's dropped the ball on some things this season.

My take on that is that he let several individual episodes suffer in service of the season-long arc, which is understandable but still not a great idea.

RIVER. I ... guys. I love her SO. MUCH.

Me too! And I'm simultaneously more confused than ever about her relationship with the Doctor and ecstatic to find out more next season.
