I think one of the reasons I like this episode so much is because I have a soft spot for ‘ragtag bunch of fighters face impossible odds’ stories. Like Lord of the Rings. Damn, this is like my favourite episode ever.
Amy makes threats with a toothbrush despite being in deadly danger. Silurians make references to lesbian sex. And RORY! Can anyone not like him to pieces after this? Although my own Rory, who is actually a Dave, is still much better.
Anyway, fanfiction is to follow. I love my big gay romantic clever badass show.
