This post contains minor spoilers (episode specific). I have no intro for you today… it’s late and what I really want to do is go to sleep. But before we get into anything… can I just say how much I loved that, at the very beginning of the episode, Amy and Rory are just sipping tea on the TARDIS? I mean, I know they must eat while in deep space… but the act of them drinking tea in the spaceship/time machine, just chillin… was awesome. Moving on.
I know some people weren’t, but I was good and scared for this episode. I think, partially, I just wanted to be scared. I watched this episode with Lindsey on Sunday night and it was dark and no one was really around and it built tension well. It certainly wasn’t the scariest thing I’ve ever or will ever see, but for the recent couple of seasons of Doctor Who, it worked.
Though it doesn’t make for interesting blog posts, I really do enjoy the standalone episodes, like Vincent and the Doctor (obviously), The Curse of the Black Spot, The Doctor’s Wife (YEAH), and such. It adds a bit of fun and intrigue to the series… the episodes can’t all be revealing and fully related to the season arc. We need these little breaks to keep from completely losing our crap every episode.
This episode, which it wasn’t one of my absolute favorites, was fun and creepy. It was an interesting concept, the actors all did brilliantly, I freaking love Rory, blah blah blah. Fun episode, not great, but not disappointing. Next week should be epic, though. Woooooooo.
“We’re dead, aren’t we? We’re dead… again.” Hahahahaha oh Rory.
