Doctor Who Thoughts.
I love Doctor Who. I've loved Doctor Who for years... but I have to say, I was looking forward to Moffat's take (I love Blink, Girl in the fireplace & Silence in the Library) & am terribly disappointed. I love love loooooved The Doctor's Wife (and while I might be forgetting an episode), I think that's the only one I adored.
I'm a big River Song fan. Or I was until this season. I guess the mystery was better than the reality... because REALLY?! She actually would choose to have REALITY itself DIE because she loves the Doctor & isnt woman enough to kill him. Hey I love the Doctor too... but um, he makes COOTIE noises when she kisses him, and has barely shown her anything but cautiously amused distance. HE HAS NOT FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HER. I would definitely argue that he was more in love with ROSE than he ever was with River Song. I kept waiting for the romance, for the moment when they connect with something other than awkward flirting. Sadly, this never happened. It wasn't even romantic when they got married... he just starts ordering her about. She even gets her doctorate so she can find him... her love for him it's like a pathetic puppy dog. Following him to the ends of the Universe, slobbering over the tiniest bit of attention. I wanted her to be stronger, I guess.
I like that the Doctor has a dark side. I get it. What I don't understand is why NO ONE ever gets angry at his ridiculous selfishness. WHY IS OK THAT RIVER SONG IS WRONGLY IMPRISONED HER WHOLE LIFE??? Just because he takes her on adventures at night? I don't get it. And honestly Amy should be angry at him. While he cannot really be blamed for the Silence, her baby would have been KIDNAPPED, and brain washed... and then IMPRISONED WRONGLY for the rest of her life without the Doctor being there.
And I guess I under valued the Doctor's presence or something in the universe... because the fact that there is an ENTIRE religion based on the idea that we should never find out who he is, was annoying to me. I'm not sure what I thought the Question would be... but Doctor Who? was disappointingly lame. Of all the questions in the universe THAT is the most dangerous???
I've never really liked Rory. My problem is mainly that he's Too Perfect. It's ridiculous. Who wouldn't slap Amy when she's complaining about being left behind for 30 years when he waited 2,000???? MY GOD SHE'S ANNOYING. And he just sits there being all understanding. BLAH.
I miss Ten. And Donna.
