Doctor Who 6x11
First, the bad:
+ Rita got killed off? Are you serious? For reasons tied to her faith? Really? Ugh, that was really disappointing given I kind of had high hopes for her given that she's been the only non-white character to show up in ages, wtf. ESPECIALLY given that David Walliams mole dude survived for no discernible reason given he spent the most time in his nightmare room and never once had a 'praise him' moment.
+ I don't know who this 'Amy Williams' person is and am mentally sticking my fingers in my ears and pretending I didn't hear anything.
Everything else:
+ Until Rita died I was really enjoying the plot of the week, and the setting was gorgeous.
+ I liked that the Weeping Angels were fairly irrelevant to the plot, except for showing how scared Amy still was of them - continuity! We remember it sometimes! - and showing that after everything she still believes in the Doctor. Which -- oh, Amy. I think there's a lot of interesting things going on with that idea, because how can she? But I suspect that for Amy the idea of giving up that faith has been even worse than clinging onto it in spite of all evidence that she shouldn't. ;_;
+ Rory's line early on about travelling in the TARDIS in the past tense. I guess they've been talking about this, and that deep down, Rory was already gone since the end of last week's episode. ;_;
+ But really, it was all about the last ten minutes. I guessed a few days ago that Amy and Rory would leave the TARDIS at the end of this episode, but that really didn't help. Oh my god everything hurts. And I'm glad for them really, glad that they can start to pull some kind of life again, but oh god. And the scene flickering between Amy and Amelia was completely heartwrenching.
+ And then Amy mentioned her daughter, because apparently I wasn't crying enough yet.
+ I do still think everything is going to be okay, though, however distraught I feel now. I think everything is going to get seriously shaken up in the final episode, and that the Ponds are going to get their baby back. But in the meantime, I'm going to go put the kettle on and soothe my broken heart. AMYYYYY.
