I've been gone a long time, I know. And to be honest, I don't have a good excuse. I was busy with work but I think, honestly, it was just that the show was just getting so bad that it was hard to devote my free time to watching it.
HOWEVER
There's so little to the show left and the next season starts in August. Which means, Confused Companion will be back! ... but not for at least a month.
Yeah, I know. But in my defense, in two and a half weeks, I have to pack up myself and my cat and move all the way from New York back to Portland, OR and suffice it to say, I have a lot on on my plate. I can't make the blog a priority until that is taken care of. But, once I'm settled and moved, I'm going to come back!
So, for the tl;dr crowd: I'll be back! But it will take me about a month. Thanks for sticking with me through the rough times and I'll see all your beautiful faces again soon.

Please come back! Don't let River deter you, there are still (some) good times ahead!
I thought I would use this very appropriate ask to answer where the hell I've been. The answer is: SUPER BUSY. Job stuff and life stuff have very much gotten in my blogging way. And, yes, it isn't very appealing knowing that I have River waiting for me when I get back.
Will I be coming back? Of course! I'm so close to the end; there's no way I'm pulling out now. With that said, however, I'm not entirely sure when all of this is going to happen. I may be able to squeak a couple of entries in when I have time but they are not going to be orderly or on time. I'm really sorry, guys.
I promise everything will get done, I'm just not quite sure when.
On a lighter note, how hilarious was it that my cat got reblogged by doctorwho? All the notifications killed my phone that day. As if he didn't have a big head before...
Have been ridiculously busy the past week and a half or so and I apologize. To tide you over, have a picture of an actual mailbox in my neighborhood. I promise it wasn't me.

"What you are going to be, Melody, is very very brave."
"But not as brave as they'll have to be. Because there's someone coming. I don't know where he is or what he's doing but trust me, he's on his way."
Well, the boys have a way to go. (SO EXCITED FOR RORY/DOCTOR TIMES)
CYBERMEN!?! :D :D :D
:(
While this is all very sad, I'm a bit too confused to feel emotions at the moment
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT RORY ALL THIS TIME? *is thrilled*
"I have a message and a question. A message from the Doctor and a question from me. Where. Is. My. Wife." *swoons*
You guys, I don't think I can handle this. It's everything I ever wanted.
"What is the Doctor's message?" "Would you like me to repeat the question?" I CAN'T HANDLE THIS
This has all gone a bit Star Wars now
Two privates are talking about feats of Rory's derring do. I have a feeling this will all go wrong ala Moffat but for right now? I'm just basking.
You know, if you're on the alert for someone, maybe don't be teamed up with mysterious monks you can't question. It kind of gives them an easy in.
Awesome lady private, I hope you stay awesome. (Also, love the title Headless Monks)
Things I Like: Charlie Baker being in Doctor Who. Things I Don't Like: Saying that they don't need names because they're Anglican Gay Marines and calling them the Thin One and the Fat One.
She's 'had an encounter' aka met the Doctor.
Uh oh, Charlie Baker
"He's the Doctor. He could be anywhere in Time and Space." Like meeting up with Jack the Ripper, apparently.
"Send a message to Inspector Abberline at the Yard. Tell him Jack the Ripper has claimed his last victim." CALLED IT
Apparently a Silurian lady ate him?
Well, that's one way to drop in on people
Nietzsche battle?
Sontaran!
SONTARAN NURSE?!? *glee*
He has to help people as punishment! Oh, that's great
I feel like the Doctor is assembling what should be a dream team but is actually characters we've never met before...
UGH
Rory's come to pick up River, she's acting all weird
"Demons Run." "How did you know?" "I'm from his future. I always know." But you haven't lived it yet. So you shouldn't know. At each meeting, you should always be having that memory FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME. If you're going to be the worst and do this plotline, at least get it right.
Overly dramatic pauses are River's specialty
River's all "I can't go til the end" which means she has already lived it? You can't bring a River that has already lived this life experience, regardless.
Rory's face, though, you guys. Perfection
"This is it. This is the day he finds out who I am." Really don't care
Meanwhile, elsewhere in space, Blue Man Group is trying to turn tail and run but is caught by that weird eyepatch lady
"Do you think he's raising an army?" This man clearly doesn't
"Demons Run when a good man goes to war." Everyone is playing this so overly dramatic but there's not really any context so it just comes off as ridiculous. I actually burst out laughing at that. WE DON'T KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE, SHOW. This is sloppy, even for Moffat.
TARDIS has arrived like a draft bill to Blue Man Group
SO DRAMATIC.
"He is not the devil. He is not a god." Is Moffat aware of this?
Amy's face is kind of how I feel while watching this
Awesome lady private has come to visit Amy
Awesome Lady Private made Amy a prayer leaf for Baby Pond, Amy's all 'oh just shut up'
This whole speech between Awesome Lady Private and Amy is really rubbing me the wrong way. "I was only a little girl." "So was I." "He came back for me." "You must be very special." First off, the whole 'I was only a little girl' thing sounds SO creepy. And this whole thing just makes me long for the time when companions weren't SUPER SPECIAL but were just regular people who happened to travel with the Doctor, because everyone is special. Why does everything have to be such a big deal? The charm of Who was that it wasn't.
Meanwhile, the Headless Monks actually are headless. (What is this military? What year are we in? Why are they fighting the Doctor?)
Boo!
Apparently the Headless Monks are sith lords
Doctor has disappeared into the darkness, everyone's going crazy.
Now the monks and the marines are fighting. That Silurian lady took out the guards. It would be more dramatic IF WE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
Seriously, who are you two? I mean, I think I like you because you're kickass ladies but WHO ARE YOU?
Now they're taking out their ammo clip and saying 'we are not fools' and I think maybe I am because I've been watching Doctor Who for twenty five minutes and have only seen the Doctor for one minute of that
And then some Silurians showed up
And Judoon
Doctor just sicced what I assume were those planes from the Churchill episode on the base.
She's trying to abscond with the baby but Rory (honestly the only good part of the episode right now) has stopped her
Okay, Captain Hugh Bonneville is the second good thing. I WANTED MORE SPACE PIRATES :D
Vengeful Doctor "I want you to be famous for those words. Run Away."
While this episode is annoying me on a ridiculous scale, I would totally watch an episode devoted to the adorable Williams family.
"Oh God, I was going to be cool." Rory continues to be perfection
Also perfection? Eleven's "Hey Look! It's a Baby!" Face/Point
The mysterious marines are leaving, despite us still having no clue who they were in the first place.
"She doesn't like the TARDIS noise." Melody's going to have a hard life, fi that's the case.
Space cradle!
Okay, Doctor with baby is pretty adorable
"Doctor, do you have children?" "No." "Have you ever had children?" *SUSAN FEELS*
"Centurion, permission to hug?" "Be aware, I do have a sword." Rory/Doctor banter is my favorite
"Is there anything you're not telling us?" There are only seventeen minutes left in this episode. You bet there are things he isn't telling you.
Apparently the cradle was the Doctor's? That's a bit strange. Who keeps their own baby stuff around when they had children and grandchildren? Unless Susan and co used it, too?
This Silurian lady (are we ever going to get a name?) is pretty awesome, talking back to the Doctor
"I have a question. Is Melody human?" She better be
Doctor's face is like 'um, yes'
Why does Melody have human and Time Lord DNA?
Awesome Lady Private is here to warn about what she overheard
Something's gone wrong
Doctor is really uncomfortable with all the insinuations going on about Melody's parentage (as am I)
So she got Time Lord DNA from being conceived on the TARDIS? Well, better than other ways (Doctor's realization face is priceless)
"The headless monks aren't alive. They don't register as life forms." Yeah, that's what you want to hear
"Why would a Time Lord be a weapon? Where would they get that idea?" "Well, they've seen you." oh, honey
"The child then, what is she?" "Hope. Hope in this endless, bitter war." "What war? Against who?" "Against you, Doctor." *eye roll* This episode is trying way too hard
Someone's put a forcefield around the TARDIS, Headless Monks are coming in
"Oh dear God. That's the attack prayer!" This is actual dialogue
"Rory, no offense to the others but let them all die first, okay?" "You're so Scottish." That's more like it
Adorable Williams family, I wish I could just cuddle you and watch you forever
Blue Man Group ate it, now down to Rory and the squad
And now we have a potential flesh baby and a dramatic voiceover
Well, fuck
Dying Nurse Sontaran :(
"You'll get back on your feet in no time. You're a warrior." "Rory, I'm a nurse." Slap in the face to both of them there
How many times does poor Amy have to lose her baby?
Awesome private lady :(
Poor Awesome Private Lady
And to end this ridiculous episode, my favorite person
OMG IS RIVER MELODY POND? FOR FUCKS SAKE
Remember when there were more than four characters in the entire universe? When did the world get so small? And BEYOND that, who wants to mack on their best friends' daughter? It's bad enough whenever the Doctor has some sort of relationship with a human, he's over 900 years older than them (ugh) but the thought of having a relationship with the child of two of your friends, friends that you had also seen as children? I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT WORSE BUT THEN YOU DID.
And then the Doctor just took off by himself in the TARDIS and Amy's going to choke someone and I don't blame her
Those suits are almost Classic Who bad. I love it!
That can't be good
Or not? Everyone is just laughing it off
Guy's melting. They're just like 'those suits are expensive!'
Is that .. the same guy?
Party time in the TARDIS
Pregnancy scan is still weird
Doctor trying to drop Amy and Rory off for fish and chips before scampering off
Turbulence!
Cool sequence is cool
And an abrupt landing
"Medieval expert, are you?" "No, it's just that I can hear Dusty Springfield."
Mundane dangers!
Hello, lovely. (Sidenote: Monday, a monastery called my work and I talked to a monk. Afterwords, I told my coworker 'I haven't been to a monastery in a really long time.' and he laughed at me. 'That's not how I thought that sentence would end.')
They're apparently pumping acid off the island?
"I'm telling you, when something's running toward you, it's never for a nice reason!" Oh, Rory. So much love.
Seriously, what the heck is going on
Are there just a bunch of clones of the same three people on this island?
Scanning for bugs. Pretending to be part of the meteorological department
So many shots of big machines in the first ten minutes
Yeah, I have no idea what's happening
It's clone matter! Well, kind of
The flesh is creeping out Eleven
It's like sentient pancake batter
I can't get over how adorable this girl is
Still trying to figure out if these 'gangers' are more clones or avatars
There's got to be a less disturbing way of doing this
Voldemort?!
We can either evacuate the island due to the oncoming storm or stay on. Considering we're only ten minutes into the episode, I can guess which we choose.
Definitely not good
Things are going wrong
Uh oh, TARDIS
New Who really does have an obsession with the Doctor scaling things, doesn't it?
And he's fallen
Well, that's delightfully creepy
Storm seems to have ended
What happened to them?
Apparently they've all been unconscious for an hour. "A lot can go wrong in an hour."
Jennifer is in distress.
"I thought I was going to die." "Welcome to my world." RORY IS THE BEST
Ahaha Amy's face
Apparently the storm has given the 'gangers' self awareness.
Gangers also have really good taste in music
The gangers have been chilling
So the gangers have gone from avatars to clones. And apparently this has happened before
I love how Rory is totally taking care of this girl.
"Take all the time you need. I've got your back. You're fine." I LOVE YOU, RORY
Not surprised this Jennifer is Ganger!Jennifer but well done with the flashy faces
STRETCHY PUNCH
Well, this is amazing
This lady is super not amused with Eleven
She didn't know she was the clone
Really enjoying this design, even if it is a bit Voldemort
And realizing that Rory's been missing a bit long.
And there's just acid everywhere. Lovely
Ganger!Jennifer is looking for Rory
Doctor seems to know more than he's letting on
I just want to take a moment to point out how much I like those torches. Awesome design
Creeper Doctor
Amy is braving spewing acid to look for Rory
Sad ganger is sad
I think ganger!Jennifer may be in love with Rory. That's totally fair though because I'm in love with Rory, too.
This is certainly a moral conundrum we're drawing to, here.
Rory going for the hugh cureall
No thank you, lips in vat
Uh oh, TARDIS
Someone's taken all the acid suits
Ganger Party
"Are you sure you're feeling better? No more super elastic punches?"
"Amy's a lucky girl." "Yeeeeeah, she is."
Reoccurring random eyepatch lady
Rory is standing up for ganger!Jennifer and I love him even more than I thought possible
Meanwhile Eleven's meeting up with the other gangers
LOVE
Amy is frustrated with Rory, Rory is doing what's right because Rory is the best
Human Commander Lady is scheming
Getting along is not going so well
Ganger!Jennifer has sneakily taken Rory's hand
Rory tries to extract himself.
She grabs with both hands.
But then scheming Human Commander Lady shows up
Love that Amy's like 'seriously, what are you even doing?'
Oh dear
Doctor is disgusted with this death
The gangers are getting antsy
RORY TO THE RESCUE
Doctor is just utterly disgusted with humanity right now
Gangers are coming for revenge
Rory feeling very responsible for Jennifer right now
Amy's telling him to get in, Eleven's going "RORY" like an annoyed dad
Here come the gangers
AND RORY RUNS OFF. So now Rory and Jennifer are the only two not in the fortress. I do love the way this is progressing. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT :D

This episode is written by Neil Gaiman and it looks it.
May have just exclaimed "Oooooood!" in my apartment
Her mind and soul are going to be drained from her body. That's awful
Amy is not letting this 'wanting to tell the Doctor about his future death' thing go
Aaaaand someone just knocked on the TARDIS door.
It's a box!
"Doctor, what is it?" "I've got mail! :D"
It's a Time Lord messenger pigeon, basically. But we know for a fact that all the rest of the Time Lords are dead because we found the one that was alive and that was the Master. The whole 'You are not alone' thing? Seriously, show, that was less than five years ago.
It's the mark of a Time Lord called The Corsair.
And we're leaving the universe, apparently
"Where are we?" "Outside the universe, where we've never ever been."
The power is draining out of the TARDIS
So the soul of the TARDIS went into this girl? It is convenient she's already dressed in blue.
Doctor Who sure does love scrapyards
Lady!TARDIS is a bit manic, fulfilled the New Who 'all ladies must kiss the Doctor' rule
And then she bit him, which I approve of more
Eleven is just as excited as I was to see an Ood.
Eleven fixes the Ood's communicator, hears ten kajillion distress calls
The planet they're on is called House and they're going to meet him. Cause that makes sense
The set for this serial is gorgeous
And the sentient asteroid can possess people. Delightfully creepy.
Rory is immediately distrustful, proving again why I love him so much.
Amy accuses Eleven of wanting to be forgiven for destroying the Time Lords. Of course he does.
"Rory, look after him." Rory and Doctor scenes are always my faves
"Rory, look after her." Awww, I wanted some Rory/Eleven time
"He'll be fine. He's a Time Lord." "That's just what they're called. It doesn't mean he knows what he's doing."
Well, this surely isn't good
Eleven has sent Amy and Rory on a wild goose chase.
And locked them in the TARDIS
This is the Time Lord Equivalent of bodies in the basement
Poor sad Doctor
All the people are patchwork
She has the Corsair's arm :(
Amy and Rory realizing that things are going very not well
She just made the TARDIS noise. It was awesome.
"I'm the TARDIS." "No, you're not. You're a bitey mad lady."
"Are all people like this?" "Like what?" "So much bigger on the inside."
The asteroid eats TARDISs. Nom nom
Let's pause a mo to appreciate this set composition
House may have just eaten the TARDIS with Amy and Rory inside
Apparently House is travelling in the TARDIS with Amy and Rory. Auntie and Uncle just shrug and prepare to die.
And then promptly die
Amy and Rory just chilling with the evil consciousness
Rory's answer to why House shouldn't kill them: "Because killing us quickly wouldn't be any fun. And you need fun, don't you? That's what Auntie and Uncle were for, wasn't it? Someone to make suffer. I had a PE teacher just like you. You need to be entertained and killing us quickly wouldn't be entertainment." I love you, Rory.
Meanwhile, Eleven's going to attempt to build his own TARDIS
"Are we having fun yet? I rather enjoy the sensation of you running around inside me." House is a creeper
"You didn't always take me where I wanted to go." "No but I always took you where you needed to go." Tegan is somewhere in the universe rolling her eyes.
Lady TARDIS is dying :(
Uh oh. Our power couple has been separated
This makeshift TARDIS is adorable
House is messing with time. Rory has aged into an old man.
Angry old!Rory is angry. Which means he's probably an illusion because Rory already waited 2000 years and he was totally fine with that.
House is seriously messing with Amy
This is some morbid ridiculousness
Aaaaaand here's our normal Rory back and confused
Meanwhile, makeshift TARDIS is on the move
Things I Love: that the TARDIS thinks Rory is the pretty one
They're seeing different lights which is a strange way to mess with people's heads
House has knocked out Rory, is talking to Amy in his voice
....how did we all forget about the Ood until now?
Aaaww! Look! It's Nine and Ten's TARDIS!
Cool, space-y shot
They've made it onboard. Doctor and Amy are showing down with House, Rory is the only person tending to Lady TARDIS. (I love you, Rory)
Oh, evil green TARDIS
And they got sent back to the main control room
TARDIS consciousness taking back her spaceship
TARDIS has killed House, is back in her spaceship, will not get to talk to everyone again
SO MUCH SADNESS
Goodbye, Lady TARDIS
Can everything have a maintenance swing?
And the Ponds are adorable
Doctor has to give them a new room. "Doctor, this time, could we lose the bunkbeds?" "No! Bunkbeds are cool! It's a bed with a ladder. You can't beat that." (I had a bunkbed for the first time this summer and it was AWESOME.)
Why hello, mysterious and magical music. (I don't have any of the minisodes on my computer so I have to youtube them. This one has delightful subtitles.)
And giggled at that subtitle.
Prince of Wales on the phone, Doctor comes in in a tux and carrying a goldfish bowl. Why don't we get to see that adventure?
Aaaaaaaaand the goldfish is the queen
Aaaaaaaaaaand that fly is a warrior chief
We need to accessorize nightgowns with top hats more often, I think.
"You have the serious face on. I always shout for Rory when you've got the serious face on."
"Rory! She's having an emotion!"
Doctor's taken the wrong fish. Rory automatically comes down with an 'Amy, what's wrong?' Rory is perfect, never change.

And we've flashed forward three months for some reason.
I'm very confused.
Oddly appropriate
That is one hell of a beard in three months. And his hair!
Creepy things are so cool, though
Too much to hope
Rory!
Really impressed by the set design of this cell
Canton's on our side!
And the TARDIS is there, too
*sigh*
Creepy orphanage?
Eleven's put dictaphones in their hands.
In the TARDIS!
"Ruling the world with post hypnotic suggestion?"
Hello, sir. Have you lost a child?
"Please excuse the writing."
This man has been stuck in this building a very long time
Love it
Space Shuttle Doctor
SPACE SHUTTLE
I love this. I love this so much.
Amazing
Love that they nestle like bats
"I told you. I'm on a top secret mission for the president."
Oh hey Nix
Late 60s Rory is extremely good looking
But still very clearly Rory
"The child. She must be cared for. It's very important. That's what they said."
Um, what?
Amy's found a creepy child's room
Yeah, somehow this doesn't surprise me
Astronaut
Still don't get the little girl in the space suit
Also, Moffat has a thing for creepy dark space suit helmets
I do like that this guy's name is Dr. Renfrew. Nice association with Renfield from Dracula.
They may have no need of weapons but they can clearly be shot
Little girl is super cute
Amy's hand-taphone is on the ground
Intense, lovely sixties Rory
"I think someone has been shot. I think we should help. I can't remember."
"We are the Silence." Thanks, now I have something to tag you.
That moment the president walks out of your prison
Dramatic tv
Astronaut as exoskeleton
Maybe don't ignore Rory when he has a face like that
"Why did human beings suddenly go the moon? Because the Silence needed a space suit." Silence, being incredibly convoluted about things
Doctor looks like a milkman
Amy leaving a message that sounds like she loves the Doctor more than Rory and it makes my heart cry
"Rome fell." "I know. I was there." "So was I." We need a Rory Appreciation Episode in the near future, please
Amy Pond, bad at being a prisoner
Team TARDIS to the rescue!
"She really doesn't mind shooting people. I really shouldn't like that. I kind of do a bit." .... That's ... so ridiculously out of character.
But that is a lovely shot
Well, that's one way to alert the human race of your presence
Pissed off Silence
Rory, you are the best.
Rory realizes the message was for him
*happy sigh* (Yes, I ignored a whole River bit. It helps me get through the River bits)
"Dare I ask, will I be remembered?" "Oh, dicky. Tricky Dicky. They're never going to forget you."
"This person you want to marry. Black?" "Yes. He is." Are we supposed to be shocked? That's exactly what I expected.
*sad sigh*
The face that says 'I told my best friend I might be pregnant but not my husband'
"I didn't want to tell him his baby might have three heads or, like, a Time head or something." "What's a Time Head?" "I don't know but what if it had one?"
Eleven being amused by his companions having a baby is my new favorite thing
It keeps switching between positive and negative. So that's a new plotline, huh?
Amy's reading Doctor stories. I always find it funny that when New Who does this "Companions finding out stories about the Doctor," it's always their Doctor in the flashbacks. Why couldn't be it be Six? Or Three? Remember that time it was Three completely randomly and they had a portrait of Jon Pertwee's face? That was the best.
Also, Rory and Amy are ADORABLE
"You really think he's out there? Trying to wave to us through history books?" "It's the sort of thing he'd do!"
Only one man gets to use that shade of blue on his stationary!
*sigh*
OH HEY! IT'S MY COUNTRY FOR ONCE. :D
They looks so cute in their American backpacking outfits! Rory is dressed a lot like the guy I was in love with in high school!
And with a 'whoever scheduled this camera shot is in love with me' shot, we're reintroduced~
Yes, that's more like it.
I really didn't want to have to get back to blogging with a River episode. :(
Adorable American diner yes please.
"Somewhere different. Somewhere new. Space, 1969." Well, that will surprise our guys.
I get so frustrated with New Who but it does have a way with shot composition. Swoon~
"Wine's horrid. I thought it would taste more like the gums." Eleven and I have the same opinion on wine.
OOOOOOO! What's that?! :3
Someone has come to join the picnic
Tons of gatecrashers showing up
"You all need to stay back. Whatever happens now, you do not interfere."
Mysterious chats
Well, that's not good
As someone watching this in 2014, I know this isn't how that happens. Because Peter Calpadi....
Um, still really bad
Yeah, getting shot mid-regeneration is not okay
Yeah, so this makes no sense
An old man has shown up to tell them the Doctor is definitely dead and give them some gasoline like the lamest superhero ever
I would be a lot sadder if I didn't know that something must change this
Rory has spotted a boat. Viking funeral?
VIKING FUNERAL!
"I'm Canton Everett Delaware the Third. I won't be seeing you again but you'll be seeing me." This guy is enjoying being mysterious way too much.
Amy is sad, River and Rory are trying to figure out who had the envelope labeled '1"
Found it!
Always invite your past self to your death party, clearly
Doctor's face clearly screaming 'Why is everyone being weird?'
Doctor's just going along with the 'everyone is sad but won't tell me why so I guess we're going to space? okay, space!'
"Rory, is everybody cross with me for some reason?" Oh, honey
"I'm being extremely clever up here and there's no one to stand around looking impressed. What's the point in having you all?" That's how you break up a secret meeting of friends trying to decide if they should tell you future you just died.
"What? A mysterious summons? You think I'm just going to go?" Depends on which incarnation you are, really.
"Trust me. We have to do this and you can't ask why." "Are you being threatened? Is someone making you say that?" Doctor, finally showing some sense.
....Is that Mark Sheppard? That guy is in everything.
Oh, Nixon lookalike. I do love you.
Invisible TARDIS! We haven't had that since ... God, was it since Two? I also love awkwardly stepping into history!Doctor
Listening to a recording of a tiny child talking to Nixon. It would be hard to make it creepier
Stealthy notetaking
Surprise!
Surprise again!
Choices, love.
"Do you think you can just shoot me?" "They're Americans!" ... hey...
Pretending to be undercover: "Codename: The Doctor. There are my top agents: The Legs, The Nose and Mrs. Robinson." Ahaha
Oh, Mark Sheppard. Everything you do looks sinister.
He's loving this a bit too much
OMG WHAT IS THAT I LOVE IT
She saw it and then got distracted and forgot it. This little plotline is great
:D :D :D :D
"What is that? Is that a mask? Is it a Star Trek thing?" I like this lady
So you forget about this thing when you're not actually looking at it? That's kind of awesome
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS AMAZING
IT JUST BLEW THE LADY UP
Amy, always thinking, takes a picture of it on her phone
"Joy, her name was Joy. Your name is Amelia." :D
"You will tell the Doctor .... what he must know and what he must never know."
"I have to tell the Doctor." "Tell him what, Ma'am?" "Sorry. I don't know why I said that."
Off in search of the child
"Jefferson, it's alright. I'm sending my best people."
"You okay? Coping?" Rory, always there for the confused
"You take care of this." "Why is it always my turn?" "Cause you're the newest."
Rory, bondmiester bro
Cape Canaveral is apparently deserted
"So we're in a box that's bigger on the inside and it travels through time and space?" "Yeah, basically." "How long has Scotland Yard had this?"
"Why would anyone want to trap us?" "Let's see if anyone tries to kill us and work backwards."
Doctor, loving 60s spacesuits
"I think he's okay now." I love you, Rory
We've got underground tunnels!
Sexual innuendos on Doctor Who make me sad.
Yeah, that's more like it
"All clear. Just tunnels. Nothing down there I can see." These new monsters are super awesome
"Rory, would you mind going with her?" "Yeah. A bit." Rory, you are my favorite.
"Hang on, River. I'm coming, too. :(" BEST
Rory, also not River's biggest fan
"When I first met the Doctor, a long, long time ago, he knew all about me. Think about that. An impressionable young girl, and suddenly this man just drops out of the sky, and he's clever, and mad, and wonderful, and knows every last thing about her. Imagine what that does to a girl."
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HATE ABOUT TIME TRAVEL ROMANCE. What does that do to a girl? It takes away a sense of free will that you get to choose who you love. It takes away a sense of equality in a relationship. Because here is proof that your destiny is already planned out, standing in front of you. Would you have fallen in love if you hadn't been told that you would? THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING. UGH AND I THINK THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ROMANTIC. *fumes*
River Song, if you weren't shoed into this horrible contrivance of a love story, you might be a good character. You have gumption. You have sass. I like that. But this whole 'I live for the days I see him but he forgets about me' is bullshit. THAT'S NOT A RELATIONSHIP. It's not on equal footing. It's not built on anything but memories that in most cases, one of you is missing. Being told you're in love < getting a real chance to fall in love with someone. DON'T YOU SEE THAT YOU'RE A PLOT DEVICE MORE THAN A CHARACTER? (I hate this so much, you guys. So much)
Thank you for taking me back to the creepy aliens. I need more creepy aliens.
Yes. More of this. Yes.
Uh oh, Rory!
