Every subject I can think of is spoilery

My jaw, she has dropped.

I should say something intelligent.

I'm very fond of the way Karen Gillan played the scene both with Rory's death, the realisation that he was going to be eaten by the Crack, and the forgetting. I don't know if that's any one else's cup of tea, but I liked it a lot. You know, except for the bit where I cried.

Damn it. I know I wanted to see a Companion die and how the Doctor reacted to it, but... arg. ARG. Rory. :( He's not just dead, he never existed.

(I suspect it'll be fixed, right? Right? ....)

In pleasant things, I'm glad that Elliot's dyslexia was just... dyslexia. For once. No secret sign of his impending evil, no secret code to indicate he's actually alien, he's just a kid, who lives in England, and has dyslexia.

As a Nice White Lady who lives in Canada, I feel the general Fail about Race that's gone on in Doctor Who the past four seasons is getting better, but I admit I may just be wearing Anna-coloured glasses of ignorance.

I have no smart thoughts. :(

I thought that whole scene was just incredibly effective - Karen Gillan was really great in making us 'get' the effect of the crack in all its devastation. I personally think that we'll see Rory again, though.

I also really liked Nasreen - she was pretty awesome, she survived, and she even had a lovely little romance!

I love your icon!

Yeah, she was quite awesome, I enjoyed watching her... well, you know, the suffering. I was never very attached to Rory, but watching Amy's pain really brought home to me that he was gone, and he was important.

Nasreen was ace. I hope someone is right now writing the fic where the Doctor meets up with her again!

That scene, with the Doctor holding Amy's face and trying to help her hold on to her memories, was so reminiscent of the scene with Donna's mind-wipe. Argh argh argh! Is this Moffat's way of making RTD's Doctor atone?
