Doctor Who 5x02
Oh my goodness, my show. Truly, it is back. That was actually rather beautiful, in the end. I'm still mulling over the different sides of Eleven that we've seen here, but I continue to be impressed by how very much he just is the Doctor, in a very timeless way.
Eeeee, Amy! She was brave and curious and impulsive and she saved the day, in the end, even after the Doctor shut her out. I love her so much already I can't even deal. Also, SHE CAN PICK LOCKS. (Which, I'm not gonna lie, is totally hot. :D)
Sophie Okonedo as Queen Elizabeth X, hell to the yes! That was fantastic casting, and she was great - although, my one criticism would be that I think she was written as overly slow on the uptake for the sake of the plot. Which is a pretty typical Doctor Who trope, but still.
The emotion of the last scene, and the moments throughout the episode of the Doctor letting truth slip through the cracks, was really gorgeous and heartbreaking. Matt Smith is REALLY GOOD, it's so exciting. And I suppose that knowing he's the last Time Lord is the essential baggage Amy needs to know about, and I'll be curious to see how much of the rest of his history gets brought up this series.
Finally. Guys. Moffat STILL didn't kill anyone! I laugh, and I laugh, and I love. <3

There was a Lancashire joke! I am totes easy for Lancashire jokes, it's not even funny.
I choose to believe that LizTen was slow on the uptake because a lot of reading fantasy/sci-fi leads me to believe that repeated removal of memories has a *bad* effect upon the neural pathways. I can so cod-science Doctor Who if I want!

Also, yes, I like your theory! *adopts as personal canon*

It's a good theory! *rolls in it*
