The wonderful timey-wimey-ness of it all was brilliant.

And I was rooting for Rory since he came on, but really after that? Amy better be nicer to him.

All I can say is...

I LOVE YOUR ICON!!!!! <3 FANTASTIC!!!!

I do believe broomgrass here on LJ made it.

Love the timey-wimey! :D And seconding the icon love.

I had been rather on the fence for the duration of the season, but I have to admit "The Big Bang" was pretty excellent. I can't agree on River Song, though. I was indifferent towards her before too, but I've gone the opposite direction now. Something about her just really bothers me.

HOWEVER, I think Amy is completely awesome. And I love Rory! I was so glad he not only came back, but seems to be sticking around!

Ah well, different tastes. :) I can sort of see how she wouldn't necessarily be to everyone's liking, and I'm not even sure I can articulate why I like her so much myself. I was very amused by how she dealt with the fez, though. XD

Yay for Amy and Rory! :D I'm so excited about there being multiple companions in the TARDIS, it's ridiculous.

biggles1025 July 30 2010, 22:47:49 UTC

Oh yes, I did quite like how she dealt with the fez. XD

meowbooks July 30 2010, 23:25:31 UTC

I think I read in one article that Moffat said to everyone he was giving Smith a fez and everyone was worried he'd never take it off, but Moffat said, "Don't worry, I'm going to kill the fez" or something like that. :D

I watched a few episodes of 5 and it was interesting to see a different dynamic with multiple companions. :D We've seen a little of this in a few of New Who, but I'm excited for a more long-term dynamic. :D

I'm halfway through Series 3, so I didn't read the spoilers. Well, I read up to the "That. Was. Amazing." part.

I am totally looking forward to Series 6! As long as I keep my schedule of 1 season per week going, I'll be caught up in no time!!!

*goes off to watch 2 more episodes...*

meowbooks July 30 2010, 11:23:47 UTC

Martha Jones! That was a good series...well, I like all of the New Who, but that series had "Human Nature", "The Family of Blood" and "Blink." Enjoy it.

Series 3 definitely had some of my favourite episodes!

random_redshirt July 30 2010, 21:03:32 UTC

I love Martha! Fun fact: "Human Nature" was the first ever full episode of Doctor Who that I watched. I was hooked from then on, and it's still one of my favorites. "Blink" too, though it should not be watched in the early hours of the morning in a mostly empty building. *shudder*

Ahhh! Yay! Wasn't it fantastic?!

I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.

I love Rory. River still hasn't quite won me over... there's still too much mystery for my liking, and it's conflicting with my DOCTOR AND ROSE FOREVER preference.

Gah, and the doctor at the end, at the wedding. Need I say more?

This was a great finale! In fact, this is the first one that didn't end with me in tears. It's remarkable. :D

I'm so excited for the Christmas special!

random_redshirt July 30 2010, 21:26:01 UTC

Yes, it was. :)

But not as cool as bow ties. ;)

Rory = Awesome. I have a hard time imagining the season without him. As for River, I'll admit that I can see how she might not be the most easy to like. I'm also not the world's biggest Rose fan (Series 1!Rose is awesome, Series 2!Rose really annoys me at times), so the hints at whatever-there-is between the Doctor and River don't bother me much that way. How long ago did you first see the Library episodes? I didn't really like her much at first, but the more I've re-watched the episodes the more I liked her and got used to the basic idea of her character, so I'm sure that's influenced my opinion of her this season. Well, that and her reaction to the fez. XD

Gah, the wedding stuff was wonderful.

Oh yes, I love the happy ending. :D Steven Moffat seems to be good at those.

Is it Christmas yet? *marks off calendar*

meowbooks July 30 2010, 23:28:06 UTC

I think part of the unsure reactions to River is...we're meant to feel that way. The Doctor in his first meeting with her was a bit put off and curious. The nature of the timey-wimey means it's natural for him to feel that way and since we're seeing her from HIS point of view we feel it too.

sunrise_sets July 31 2010, 23:52:38 UTC

Ah, yes. I agree with that.
