Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens

RORRRRY! I’ve really grown to like him. It is actually him, right? I’m sort of confused. Is it a Rory-auton-clone? With Rory’s personality and memories but not him?? Moffat said on Confidential that he’s just a contruct of Amy’s mind, but I dunno. I love that he appears as Amy’s knight-in-shining-armour and I love the bit where the Doctor suddenly cottons on. I might have laughed harder at that than I ever did at Doctor Who…

I LOVE how the characters from the previous eleven episodes got brought back. Vincent! Bracewell! Winston Churchill! Liz 10! Oh, and the Daleks (just once, can’t there be a season finale without them? Oh yeah, there was. Never mind.) This somehow managed to be EVEN BIGGER than Journey’s End, with all the old monsters and old friends coming back. Moffat has out-Russelled Russell!

Ooh, and this is sort of a vague thing, but waaay back in VOTD Amy makes Bracewell be human again by getting him to remember past loves, and this is what she tries with Rory too. And it almost works…

Ooh! And they got the Eleventh Doctor to say ‘I AM TALKING!‘ Rememeber that from Rose? Anyone?

How on Earth they’re going to bring Amy back from the dead I don’t know, but I think Amelia will have something to do with it.

Amy’s dead, Rory’s an auton, River’s blown up the TARDIS, the Doctor’s trapped in the Pandorica…wow. Drama all round! Can’t wait for the next one…
