May 16/2010 :: Doctor Who 5x7

Day 114
Mood: content
Weather: drizzling~
Quote of the Episode:
"Let's go poke it with a stick."

In all honesty...I was not looking forward to this episode. I saw the preview and perceived it to be a case of 'memory loss'. I hate things that play with the concept of memory loss. I simply do not like them. I did not like the 'Family of Blood' arc in Season 3 simply because of this reason.

But overall the episode was better than expected. Really nervewracking.

And funny.

[the Doctor sees that Amy is pregnant]
The Doctor: You've swallowed a planet!
Amy: I'm pregnant!
The Doctor: Look at you, you're huge!
Amy: Yeah, I'm pregnant.
The Doctor: Look at you! Oh, when worlds collide!
Amy: Doctor, I'm pregnant.
The Doctor: Oh, look at you both, five years later, you haven't changed a bit! Apart from age, and... size.
Amy: It's good to see you, Doctor.
The Doctor: [pause] Are you pregnant?


I enjoyed the throwback to the ending lines of the previous episode where Amy refers to the men as 'her boys'.

Though the silly girl thinks she's the only one the Doctor trusts. The one he'll tell everything too. Sorry sweetie but there have been great gals in his life. I love Amy to death, she's the companion I would want to be. But she's not the only one.

I know this probably won't happen because RTD isn't head writer anymore...but I'd like Martha to come in and set things straight. He won't love you. He can't love you. Even the Doctor knows this and brings Rory along so the two can reconnect.

But Amy needs the reminder that, in actuality, she's not special.

But overall, amusing episode but not something I'll be keen on rewatching frequently.

Rory: Oh, a poncho. The biggest crime against fashion since lederhosen.
Amy: Ah, here we go. Oh, my boys, my poncho boys, if we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band.
And the ending was brilliant~

The darkness in the Doctor and everything.

[no images, sorry. Not a visually stunning episode. Pretty normal. Either in a quiet town or a frozen TARDIS]
