re. Pond Life & episode 1

As a heads-up - today's Pond Life is a more obvious lead-in to the episode and so may feel spoilery if you're avoiding build up for Saturday.

If you have seen it, some discussion under the cut which also includes spoilers for episode 1 that come from actor interviews, preview clips, episode summaries, "spoiler free" reviews and also some set reports. So pretty spoilery, from a character arc POV anyway. I have no idea what actually happens in the main plot.

OH GOD I KNOW. I have been freaking out about this for months, unfortunately, because I first heard about Pond marital strife quite a while back. D:

It is not okay, but here's what I can tell you:

+ They are fighting, badly, like breaking up levels badly and I don't know why and I don't know if it's artificially induced somehow or they are genuinely having huge problems. Apparently some of it is related to the events of Demon's Run. ;_;

+ BUT. It is a one-episode plotline. By the end of Saturday's episode they have reconciled, and will be back to being happily married in future episodes. Footage taken by fans watching them film shows them watching the TARDIS leave before Amy saying something to Rory that makes him jump up and down with glee before running back into the house.

+ So basically tomorrow night sounds painful as hell but then they're going to be okay again.

+ *curls up in blanketfort* DD:

eta: actually if anyone needs me I'll just be staring at these filming photos from episode 5 (spoilery for characters but not plot) from now until forever because HAPPY LOVELY PONDS YES GOOD.
