Doctor Who 5x10
Okay, I'm about to run out the door, so very quickly:
LOVE. Oh, goodness, I enjoyed this so much, and how the plot was secondary to the characters and emotion of the whole thing.
I LOVE AMY. a;sldkja;s SO MUCH OMG. I thought Karen did a fantastic job here, and her love for Van Gogh's art, and all the joy and sorrow of meeting him was just really beautiful. Also, MANY REDHEADED CHILDREN OMG. :D
I was nervous, going on, about the way mental health would be dealt with as a theme, but I ended up being personally pretty happy with it. The way Curtis wrote Van Gogh felt true to some of my own experiences, and I'm happy that he was neither a caricature of 'madness' nor a tortured artist in the sense that he was only good because he was in so much pain. (I'd welcome other people's thoughts on this portrayal, though - I may have depression myself, but I'm not always that critical about its portrayal in media.)
The Rory references were DEVASTATING. D: Make it better, show!
I loved the sentimentality of it all - the scene in the field with the OT3 hand-holding and the sea of stars was absolutely glorious.
So yes, love love love. Please to not be harshing my squee in the comments!
