A Good Man Goes to War

***********SPOILERS*********** (Highlight to read)

Oh my god. This is overwhelming. Baby, Centurion Rory, angry Doctor, gathering of old friends, cot!!! All of it. Just so good. I knew it was a Time Baby. I knew Amy was being held somewhere by people who wanted to make Time Babies. Henry knew it was being conceived on the TARDIS that would make the Time Baby a Time Baby. We're so smart.

This is the angry Doctor. Now he's finally becoming as damaged as he ought to be, considering all of the things he's done. All the death he's seen, all the friends and family he killed, the friends he left, the people he failed to save,

THE KING OF TOWN!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

God, Amy! Fooling him the same way twice. The Time Baby!!!! Where is the Time Baby?????

Hey, Rory is a nurse too... huh. Ok, Steven Moffatt, this is not ok. How DARE you???

Ok, does River use lightning to time travel? Oh dear, domestic. Oh god, Doctor.

The Doctor's little noises when he finds out who River is. So cute! GOD I wish I could read Gallifreyan. Oh hang on, here we go. Oh, Gallifreyan doesn't translate. OH JESUS CHRIST IT'S RIVER RIVER IS MELODY HOW I DON'T EVEN WHAT KIND OF GENES MAKE A SCOTT AND A ENGLISHMAN HAVE A LIGHT BROWN BABY?????? HOLY FUCK HOW I DON'T EVEN

"We're the fat-thin-married-gay-Anglican marines. Why would we need names?"
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the time to find out why I have so many."
"Well how would I know? That's all humany private stuff, it just sort of goes on. They don't put up a balloon or anything!"
"Of course I remember. I remember everyone."

Curse of the Black Spot

Post review here, more of a "series so far" kind of thing.

I am fucking loving this series. Oh my god. Seriously, it's like the best ever. Moffat is so fucking long-term, I love it. What is the Silence? Who is Amy's baby? What's the deal with the regenerating little girl? Who the fuck is that eyepatch lady? How will it swing around so Matt Smith isn't the last Doctor (because it WILL swing around)? Why does Rory have to die so often?

Some people thought this episode was too pirate-y, but I liked it. I liked it a bunch. It was a very Stargate sort of thing, with the whole scifi explanation for an olde tyme superstition stuff. I liked that. I like it when the TARDIS has a mind of her own. And I love Matt Smith. Also, fumbly drunk Rory was fun. I wanted him to be like that for the whole episode.

A Christmas Carol

Ok, this is a post-entry. The Christmas special was really incredible. So epic. The Christmas Carol reference was only slightly crowbarred in, there were swimming fish, and the Doctor married Marilyn Monroe. Actually there was quite a few moments involving the Doctor and romance, or his total ineptitude at romance. The best quote on that front was when the guy (as a young man) was asking the Doctor for advice when he knew the woman was about to kiss him and the Doctor goes "It's either this or staying in your room and inventing a new kind of screwdriver, don't make my mistakes." Hilarious. And he, again, doesn't understand how people can make out and not suffocate. Maybe Time Lords use their respiratory bypass when they make out. I want more about the Doctor's love life. 'Cause I don't believe that his first kiss was Rose at over 1,000 years old. Anyway, it was lovely and very exciting and just awesome. Oh, how I loved it.

Also, I've ordered the 10th Doctor's sonic screwdriver off Amazon and I'm making a knit K-9!

EDIT: I somehow managed to exclude my very favourite quote from this episode, possibly from the whole series.

"Do you know, in 900 years of time and space I've never met anyone who wasn't important before." - The Doctor

The Pandorica Opens (SPOILERS - highlight to read)

The Daleks can't die. Listen, I know they're cool enemies, and I know everyone loves them, but they have to be destructible at some point.

Rory!!! He's here! And the music is so sweet and tender! This is ridiculous. Everyone. Everyone ever from every episode is coming back. Every enemy everywhere. It felt epic in Stolen Earth and Journey's End, now it just feels a little old hat. Sontarans, Zygons, Daleks, Cybermen, Slitheens, the star thing from Christmas, everybody. Oh for heaven's sake. So the Doctor is a rock star now? This is just silly. I'm sorry, but it's just silly. Ok, so it's a little epic. Ok, so it's epic. But it's still over the top.

Wait, so the TARDIS exploding destroys the universe? It's just a type 40 TARDIS, I'm sure they explode occasionally. I mean in the entirety of Time Lord history a TARDIS has never exploded? Ah, whatever.

Ok, so the timey-wimey stuff is pretty cool. Oh, man! So everything revolves around Amy! It's all about Amy, and that's why the crack was in her bedroom wall, and the Doctor crashed at her house when he was regenerating..

That's Torgo's theme. It's Torgo's theme! They're playing Torgo's theme! Why are they playing Torgo's theme!

Ah, and yeah, this is all a creation of Amy's memories. It went to Amy's house and took her memories and hid the Pandorica in there. Someone was trying to lure the Doctor? What do they want him for? Who wants him? Who is that voice? Is that a sound byte from an earlier episode or is that Davros? It sounds a bit like him, but then I guess all the badguys sound pretty similar.

The Romans are Autons, whatever else is happening. Oh for heaven's sake. It's the Daleks. But they're not a surprise because we already heard them and knew they were here. So there has to be somebody else. Somebody else is organizing this, having all his enemies work together, unless the enemy bit is his memories projected like Amy's are.

Lol, that was the thing from Love and Monsters.

Wait, why is this happening??? What's going on? Who is doing this? Someone has to be organizing all this. Ooh!!! They said "The Doctor is the only one who can pilot the TARDIS" but someone else was controlling it, and it was River who blew it up. And the Daleks have tried to destroy all of creation in the past, what do they care?

So... all of creation was just destroyed... what... can we do? I mean, what happens now?

Ok, so the Pandorica was created to trap the Doctor so he wouldn't destroy the universe, but the reason the universe was destroyed was because River... blew up the TARDIS? I think that's what she was doing? But then maybe it was the guy who kept saying "Silence must fall", at least it was because of him. So I think the real villain has yet to be revealed. I can't wait for next week!!!!!
