I get high on a buzz then a rush when I'm plugged in you

You get love when told what to do

WELCOME TO THE CULT. You may think you've gotten it out of your system: you are wrong. ;)

Moving on to the vid: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S RIVER! DON'T WORRY! SHE DOES THAT! :D

I think the thing I enjoyed most about it, actually, (like, obviously, aside from the bits where River exists), was the technological tie-ins. She really is superfly futuristic style and I hadn't previously been thinking about the ways her gadgeteering and TARDIS wizardry tie into potentially particularly sexy mashup of supercompetence, handcuffs and ELECTRONICS.

I feel I am probably not making much sense. It's not my fault, River is distracting me. WITH SHINY SEXY GADGETS.

Ahahaha - I don't doubt it! I just had to skim a little of the overwhelming squee off the top in order to do other things with my life. *g*

And thank you so much! I seriously dig the way she's so good with technology and weaponry from a huge range of eras and cultures, it is fabulous. Wonderful electric indeed!

RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER! RIVER!

Um. I rather loved this. Also, River + guns is rather a recurring theme, isn't it? Oh and I loved the sequence from 1:25 to 1:35 where she is hunted down (/mistrusted) by all and sundry, and then kisses them goodbye - plus you matched the splash of the swimming pool to the beat! *flails*

Also adore how you've showcased her competence (and her general awesomeness, of course)...

Aaand that's probably as much coherence as you're going to get out of me right now. I have a notion that I need to re-watch this vid about 5 million times more. *g*

(Although if you want some River love, you'd probably like my (meta heavy) review of Day of the Moon.)

Also, Amy's face at 0:33. Completely enthralled. Pretty sure that's how I look throughout every episode. I love this Team TARDIS so very much.
