I was like "I like her so she is probably going to die." :-\
Ugh, right? I was hoping so hard that she would make it through the ep, since she was by far the most textured of the guest characters, but I was also like, "Yeah, she's a woman of color, she doesn't have a chance." But I hoped anyway, because occasionally DW manages not to fuck it up with minority characters. So when the episode was like, "lol no let us just destroy your hopes by having the Doctor offer to take her with him as a companion" I was sad and angry because I had not wanted to be right.
The bad-sitcom "lol my wife hits me" stuff was so weird that when I was watching the episode, I actually interpreted it as a hint that there was Something Wrong
Haha, that would have been nice. (I mean, for a given value of "nice.") I am with you on thinking that there is something seriously timey-wimey going on, and GOD I'd like to believe that it will explain wtf happened to Amy's personality and independence, but I am not holding my breath.
And I am uncomfortable with the way Amy treats Rory sometimes, which just adds to the level of YUK already inherent in the idea that Rory flinching in anticipation of a blow is HIGH-LARIOUS. I just. Ugh.
And the "Amy Williams" thing, urgh.
fffff, I did not even notice that. You can bet I would have brought it up in this entry if I had. When was it? It must have happened while I was busy seething over something else, because that is the only way I would have missed that.
As a religious person, I'm still sorting through my thoughts/feelings about the role of faith in this episode.
I will be interested to hear your thoughts. I am not religious, so I obviously can't address the issue from that perspective.
I'm still on the "yes" side of the "am I enjoying this or not" line, and I expect I'll stay there unless the finale is like super-epic levels of fuckery or something.
Yeah. Frustrated as I am right now, I love this show too much, and have for too long, to be willing to give it up any time soon. Shit, after I realized how fucked up Supernatural was, I still let it piss me off for a season and a half before I finally hit my breaking point, and I don't think I was ever so deeply invested in it as I am in Doctor Who. If I do decide to break away from DW, it will be a long and painful process, which I will not be ready to begin unless those super-epic levels of fuckery come into play in the finale.
