I'm so massively bothered by it that my reaction post is basically "yeah okay thank god that's over until fall."
There are so many things that I am upset about and squicked out by and pissed off about, listing them would go over LJ's word limit, so I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that I'm not a Doctor Who fan right now and just stop talking about it.
I kind of feel like that's where I would be if I would be honest with myself, but I'm...scared? hahaha. I am kind of in a place where I want to refuse to be pushed into non-fan territory and so I'm clinging to this hope that it will get better and I do love the characters not just the cast and there's hope for some salvaging to happen, and...I just, I love being a Doctor Who fan. And this isn't the Doctor Who that I love, but I'm trying to find the middle ground.
Also I think I really loved the last two-parter which I think was pretty fandom-dividing, so...it's just all so complicated. REMEMBER WHEN EVERYTHING WAS FIRES OF POMPEII AND NOTHING HURT?
You have summed up my feelings I had no idea I had.
I agree with everything. I realized it today too that Amy and Rory were just like plot devices and that angers me because I love them and they had that epic love story that only led to the creation of River.
(ngl River is just bleh to me. It's Moffat's ideal girl, but completely unrelatable. I don't hate her though. I don't like hating companions. )
This episode was entertaining in a shallow way but if I analyze it, it saddens me.
I REALLY hope that Moffat will give the Ponds a brilliant, wonderful, HAPPY exit.
(lol at RTD giving his companions completely heartbreaking and emotional exits.)
Also, when River dies in the library, if she=Melody=girl in the astronaut suit=regenerating girl in the alley, why the hell couldn't she have regenerated? If she's part Time Lord or whatever. Because Ten was all "I can regenerate" and she was like "yeah but don't yet," but she could have, too. Right? So did she just...not regenerate, because "the day that he doesn't know me will kill me?" That's fucking suicide. Nice strong female character, Moff.I haven't rewatched these in a while but I'm pretty sure she implies that he wouldn't be able to regenerate, so I guess she wouldn't be able to either if she actually can regenerate. (lol who even knows

This very good. I hadn't thought of some of these issues before. I just knew I didn't like the storyline. So thanks for putting exactly into words what I was feeling.

I can't even describe HOW MUCH I LOVE RORY & AMY. Karen and Arthur (and Matty) were tremendous in the ep.
