As a disclaimer, I'm really, really really tired to the point that I am struggling to stay awake right now, which may be fault of festivities.

That wasn't just a giant angel. That was the Statue of Liberty. Because apparently that's the only thing that the Doctor Who writing staff knows about NYC, that the Statue of Liberty is there. (And that goes for RTD as much as Moffat).

It's there, but it's not hollow with a staircase inside or anything dumb like that.

[giallarhorn]

But if it is the Statue itself, then it'd be on the pedestal with the stairs leading up, right? So if it isn't hollow, then where do the stairs go, and why wouldn't anyone had made a bigger fuss that all of a sudden, the stairs leading up to the Statue don't lead anywhere?

[giallarhorn]

But if a statue was making that much noise running around the city, someone would have noticed it which would mean it could never move? Probably more than a lot of someones, especially in a city 'that never sleeps'.

Also, what would happen to the people who go visit it and walk around the staircase inside? Do they get eaten as well?

The whole farewell scene rests completely on Karen Gillian. She was great on both the rooftop scene and in the graveyard.

I guess I don't even care about Eleven and his ~super sensitive emotions~ UGH Like, it was sad how he was sad but that's as far as I'm going with him.

That all being said, their whole goodbye scene wasn't really as powerful to me seeing how I still don't understand why exactly they can't see each other ever again.

Omg yes, she hit those scenes out of the ballpark (and we sort of got a character arc with that ending I guess? If you call that very loose mess a character arc)

I think a lot of my investment in Eleven is probably carried over from Ten, but the lack of an actual notable arc makes emotional impact a lot less noticeable =/

Yeah, I think it was one of those things that might've had a lot more of a gut impact, as opposed to one that would hold up once you sat down and thought about it some. IDK. The whole thing is very meh to me now.
