some musings

In lieu of any reaction post for The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People (because really, I can't be expected to type the noises I made at the end of that two-parter), here's a little snippet of what's been bouncing around in my head since the episode aired.

( sappiness, shipping and spoilahs )

matt, 6x5 the rebel flesh, karen, 6x6 the almost people, confidential squee, enwhosiasm, 6x1 the impossible astronaut

HAHA! I love your bit about Matt and Karen! It really is their own fault....

As to your observations about Amy and Eleven, I agree with you that the bond they have is quite a bit deeper than any other Doctor/companion bond we've seen before, primarily because he met her as a child, and for all the reasons you pointed out above with Amy as a child and her ability to remember him back into existence.

I admit I can't see the romantic love. Of course the Dream Lord in Amy's Choice delves into his deep, dark, subconscious, and he obviously feels lust, but I just can't see it.

I'm going to go with the "deep friendship" relationship. If you were that close to someone, you would go to war for them, even if you weren't in love with them in a sexual/romantic way.

That doesn't mean if Moffat chooses to hint at it more, I couldn't see it going there. I'm open to anything! ^^

And btw, your canon is super cute. ^^

That's totally fair. And even if it's not romance, IT'S STILL WONDERFUL.

I'm sleepy so I'll make this quick:

AGREED SO. HARD. CORE. ABOUT YOUR AMY/11 PARAGRAPH. Just... yeah. :D

The other bits I already commented on Tumblr. :p

Okay, this is perfect and flawless and amazing and I don't care what happens because that whole first part is true.

Um, I'd honestly been feeling very conflicted about the show recently. Because the only thing I could actively ship was Eleven/Amy. I mean, I love River, I love Rory, but I could not ship them with their respective partners. I just can't. So lately I've been feeling like kind of a bad fan, because really they are all amazing and I want, so badly, to have all these shiny wonderful feelings that I see everyone talking about but I just can't, all I can do is ship Eleven/Amy so much that it hurts even though I know that they will never be endgame and I have fully accepted that but I can't stop, I can't change, and I really felt like there was somehow something wrong with me because of all this, so much so that it was kind of affecting my enjoyment of the show ( ... )

[But then I watched The Almost People. And then I saw the explosion on tumblr. And then I read this post. And now my conflicted feelings are less conflicting and more rainbows.]

SAME HERE.

This is the most flawless post I have ever seen and I am in love with you.
