Doctor Who: The Angels Take Manhattan

Oh god I’m so sorry guys but I found that disappointing

It’s just, I was getting increasingly invested in the Amy/Rory/River relationship, despite the lack of it- she’s their daughter and yet they’re always so ‘meh’ about her. I’m sure that’s not the intention, but…Amy and Rory barely even reacted when they saw her. Okay, maybe that’s because they see her all the time, and I like that so I’ll go with that, but…I just wanted one moment. We sort of got one with Amy and River, but not Rory and River, and not them all together, and I’m just…damn, would anything at all have changed throughout series six and seven if River wasn’t their daughter? It wouldn’t! So why do it?

Also, I was really hoping the Ponds would go on to raise little Melody, still growing up in a plothole somewhere in Sixties New York. Except that never happened, thus destroying the chance to FINALLY FILL THAT BLOODY plothole. Although, I suppose it never said they didn’t, so…

Sigh. It was alright, better than I’m making it sound, I’m just sad that there were SO MANY loose ends from all throughout the Pond’s series that never got filled. What will Brian do now? And Amy’s parents? What was with Amys picture at Melody’s orphanage? And…er…why, exactly, can’t the Doctor and River still visit them in the TARDIS? I’m so confused. And sad. And annoyed. Bah.

Other stuff:

-River’s out of prison kicking ass and being all independent, yay

-Amy apparently is Amy Williams after all (should have guessed from the divorce papers, really), although she still refers to herself as Amy Pond so I suppose it’s just an official thing.

-Oh Rory. You went all Sherlock on us.

-I wish they’d spent more time on the Ponds and not wasted five pre-credits minutes on some random guy

-Amy outlived Rory by about five years. So she ended all alone. :(

-I’m not quite sure I follow the ending. So, the Doctor appeared briefly back to Amelia and told her what was to come? So…did he tell her the bad parts? “Hi, little Amelia! You’re going to grow up be duplicated and give birth not knowing you were pregnant and a evil woman will steal your baby and DEATH SO MUCH DEATH”

I am sad and yet confused. Maybe I’ll like it better as time goes on.

OH GOD

Eleven’s like a thoughtless little kid in this scene, annoying his parents with words that go deeper than he knows. And they just ignore the slight hurt, the annoyance, and carry on. Because they’re parents and he’s their son-in-law and just…argh.
