So I watched The Impossible Astronaut (and every other episode in Series 6 ) and have started at the beginning of season 5. I finished the first part of Weeping Angels last night.
So, so, so good.
Oh fantastic!! Jesus, you've been busy.
I ask everyone this but it's because I'm genuinely interested and am intensely jealous of the journey that you've got ahead of you - what do you reckon?! To everything. Best episodes, Rory or Amy, best monsters, most exciting bit... how the devil is it all?
Alright, I've now watched up through 'Cold Blood'. Thoughts on everything ever, in no discernible order:
1) I'm really curious about what's going to come out of the whole 'crack in time' thing. Obviously, Rory's going to come back cause he's in the next series, but I have no idea how.
2) There's a surprising amount of rather poignant situations throughout the show. The whole idea of River and the Doctor being in opposite timelines is really sad actually, and although the show doesn't really dwell on it does make you think. The same thing goes for Rory being erased from time or whatnot.
3) Matt Smith is brilliant. I don't know what the other doctors/actors were like, but he's just fantastic.
4) The writing is also brilliant. The Beast Below, the Weeping Angels set, Amy's Choice, and the Impossible Astronaut set were all especially awesome, but there really hasn't been a bad episode thus far. Apparently Steven Moffat also wrote Coupling, another show I've been meaning to check out, so now that's on my to-do list.
5) I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Amy and Rory. It seems like Amy went from 'meehhh I'm marrying him and I'm not sure I want to' to 'ZOMG I LOVE HIM' in one scene in Amy's Choice. And while that could have worked, I feel like their relationship wasn't fleshed out enough for it to really click. It's not the biggest of deals, but it did kind of bother me.
6) I really can't get over how awesome The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon are. Especially the part in the orphanage, where Amy stumbles in the room where they're all sleeping or whatever... absolutely brilliant.
I think that's all I have.
