DW5x13: The Big Bang -- reaction post
OKAY GUYS, HERE WE GO! Fair warning, there'll probably be lots of use of CAPSLOCK and EXCLAMATION MARKS and ♥ because I think (and WANT SO BADLY) this finale to be wickedly epic and brilliant and awesome.
GUYS, I CAN'T STOP GRINNING IN EXCITEMENT.
- HAI WEE AMELIA. Knew it had something to do with YOU. OH THE DOCTOR DID NOT APPEAR!!!!
- THERE. ARE. NO. STARS. Is this like Davros all over again? OH LORD THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS STARS??!!!
- Hahahaha "I don't trust that Richard Dawkins." Neither do I, folks.
- It's the Doctor skulking around Amelia's door!!!!! And a brochure for the Pandorica??? Bet the Doctor's inside.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DALEKS???!!!
- The Doctor's like River now, leaving messages in time. Oh boy. (Thank goodness for no 'hello sweeties' again. It's a great gag but overusing it would be pffffft.)
- Amelia's touch just opened the Pandorica! (Rose in Dalek anyone?)
- OY WHAT??? IT IS A GROWN UP AMY POND (hai!!!!!!) INSIDE THE PANDORICA. STEVEN MOFFAT YOU WICKED TEASE.
- Rory ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I love mopey Rory, don't you?? How come he's not totally reverted to an Auton thingy any more? How come he's not erased too??
- Oh Doctor with a mop!!!!!! MY MIND IS BOGGLED OKAY.
- Ridiculous miracles FTW! The FEZ. OH LORDY. Awwww I LOVE YOU RORY FOR PUNCHING THE DOCTOR WHO IS BEING A TOTAL DOUCHE (although on purpose). Oh dear Matty's face. Hehehehe. RORY'S BACK, HOWEVER THAT IS, BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!
- HULLO AGAIN AMY POND. Amy and Amy. Whoa.
- The vortex manipulator. ♥ ♥
- "Why do you have to be so human?" Oh Steven Moffat you just channeled RTD. THANKS VERY MUCH. ♥ ♥
- Oh wow Rory's guarding Amy through time. GUYS!!!! This is such a gesture of LOOOOOVE. (I think I love Amy/Rory more than Doctor/Rose...why is this happening???)
- "Come along, Ponds." Hehehehehehehehehe.
- HALLO AGAIN RORY I SEE YOU'RE STILL AUTON-Y. RUN-HUG-KISS!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
- All this jumping in time with the manipulator is HILARIOUS, GUYS.
- There is a second Doctor!!!!! And he's dead? And slightly smoky.
- The exploding TARDIS is the sun!!!! How brilliant.
- LOLOLOLOL "Trust the plastic." Arthur Darvill, I love your comic timing.
- River is in a time loop. It's FUNNY. "Hi honey, I'm home." :p :p :p :p :p
- Fezes are cool. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And Amy and River just totally blew up his new favourite thing. I'm betting Matt Smith wants a new fez or a hat for next series.
- So the Pandorica is basically the big reboot button because it contains particles of the universe? Ohhhkay. Hahahaha "bumper family pack" ... "no no, too fast, I'm not getting it." You're right, Rory, I had to repeat that. Okay, my sciency knowledge understands.
- Oh great the Doctor's been shot by the Dalek. Journey's End, guys. What is it with him and being shot by Daleks???
- River Song you are so AWESOME. A bit of the Doctor in there but she was so soldier-like and colddddddd. "I'm River Song, check your records again." WOW the Dalek even begged mercy from her. Scary. (Although the Daleks are probably scared of Rose too with her Bad Wolf-time vortex power!)
- 30 minute mark and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the sheer awesomeness.
- The Doctor will be stuck in the void?! Okay, a little breather as the Doctor and Amy have a moment. I've been waiting ages for this bit. Matty and Karen, you two are so so so brilliant.
- Her parents got eaten by the time crack??
- MATTY! HAHAHAHAHA Space Florida. AHHHHH the timey wimey things!!!!!! (We got that right!) Finally! C'mon Amy! Remember!
- "We're all stories in the end." Awwwwww. "A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away." ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ "Oh Amy, you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. At the times we had eh? Would have. Ever. In your dreams they'll still be there, the Doctor and Amy Pond. And days that never came." THIS SCENE. that might be the most beautiful scene in this series, truly. Matt Smith, I ♥ you. "Live well, love Rory, bye bye Pond." *weeps*
- Oh the Doctor let the crack take him. :( :( :( :( :( :(
- Amy still remembered raggedy Doctor! Amy's mum! And her dad! "Why are you behaving as if you've never seen us before??" Hahahahaha. Rory!!! (Okay, I've got to stop yelling Rory since it's obvious he's sticking around at least till the end of this episode. And no longer Auton-ny I see. YES.) "Are you saying 'yes' because you're scared of me?" Haha.
- RORY and AMY are married!!!!!! HURRAH!!! Finally someone gets properly married on New Who!
- OH HAI RIVER SONG! Amy's unknowingly crying again. Why do I love this moments so much??? ♥ ♥ ♥ Poor Rory always has to take a guess as to why she's crying, the poor man. AHHHHH IT'S RIVER'S JOURNAL! It's BLANK!!! COME ON AMY, PEASE REMEMBER THE DOCTOR!!!
- DOCTOR!!!!!! Oh Matty you look fiiiiiiiine. "Hello everyone, I'm Amy's imaginary friend!" OHHH now I see the importance of her wedding date! (Rory: How could we forget the Doctor? I was plastic...) LOLOLOLOL Mr. Pond. Oh dear dear dear dear dancing Doctor. The world doesn't end just because the Doctor dances, guys. WHY IS THIS ENDING THE HAPPIEST I'VE SEEN YET????
- Awwww 2000 years, the boy who waited. AWWWWWWWW. I love how the Doctor and Rory are like best friends. *pats*
- Oh wait there's more! River? Who are you? I want to know tooo!!! And soon everything changes?? OH NO OMINOUS THINGS AGAIN. GUYS, I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THE TARDIS TO GO BOOOOM. And what about THE SILENCE??? I'm glad THEY DIDN'T FORGET EITHER.
- Eygptian Goddess??? (LOLOL "I was at the prayer meeting.") Orient Express? In space? HURRAH AMY AND RORY ARE FOLLOWING!!!!!!!!!! I WANTED THIS SO BADLY AGAIN! CHRISTMAS 2010!!!
Oh wow that just such a roller coaster. This was an AMAZING finale. It was a HAPPY ENDING, guys. RTD had wonderful finales but there was always something SAD leftover. (Sorry, Russell, but I do still love your writing, k?) Okay, there are still questions, but it leaves us with more mysteries for next series! More thought to follow later or tomorrow, yeah? Cause England's playing tonight and I won't have time to do a re-watch. I'm still trying to pick my jaw off the floor from the sheer awesomeness of this ep. Like I told Catey, Steven Moffat is redeemed, ok?
ETA: I have to stop thinking about how it all would make sense because it will kill this fairy tale of an ending. Let's just keep it all in happy mode, yeah?
