DW 5.06. Vampires in Venice. Episode thoughts + meta on Doctor/Amy/Rory.

This is late, but I got there. Written in rather a hurry though, so I hope you won't mind if sometimes I've not managed to put my thoughts across as clearly as I could have wished.

Spoilers will bite you. )

He’s the cantankerous/barmy old professor-type, the one we remember from our childhoods - and yet now he’s... rather youthful and dishy.

That is exactly why I find it very hard to ship the Doctor with anyone (except possibly River who is older than the Companions tend to be). Somewhere in the back of my mind he's still the cantankerous old man I first watched.

But I liked the reviewer who said Amy and Rory come across as BFFs whose relationship has turned romantic, which I think is it to a T.

Yes, I agree. I suspect finding out more about their relationship will be an ongoing thing, though I do still find Amy a little hard to get a handle on.

The scene with the cake was perfection :)

::nods:: I'm fully onboard the Doctor/River 'ship! Partly because she's older (and he has *such* chemistry with older women, no matter who he is), and also because she's not a traditional companion - she has her own life, and just happens to collide with him again and again. (A lot of the time on purpose, of course! *g*)

As Anna put it: There are lots of things you should not be able to do, like look nine and be so convincingly nine hundred. He is always the oldest person in the room

Mad, impossible Amy Pond... You know, I think she's supposed to be... tricky. And I'm not sure even she knows exactly what she wants.
