Doctor Who: The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe

DOCTOOOR. If not for River, Amy and Rory would have spent TWO YEARS thinking you were dead. START ADMITTING YOU HAVE FAMILY, AND PREFERABLY STOP TORTURING THEM, YOU BAAAAAASTARD. Amy should’ve slapped him before hugging him.

(That whole thing about not having family- you’ve got a WIFE, you silly man. And MARTHA and MICKEY and SARAH JANE and JO and many others. Stop drowing in Time Lord angst!)

I loved Marge! She was a total badass. The bit where she acted the part of a helpless victim and then pulled a gun on her captors, I loved that. And that she wasn’t in the least bit awed by the Doctor, and she managed to keep a machine that needed years of training to learn how to use operational for a long time, and she tied up two heavily armed men and she sort of has the Doctor at her command now. Dude, she rocked. I’ve heard people say that she (and the whole bit about women being stronger than men) was Moffat’s (aka Mr BEING A WHITE STRAIGHT MAN SUCKS WOE IS ME) vain attempt to prove he wasn’t a sexist, but…I don’t really care what his reasons were, it was just nice to have a whole hour about how important mothers are in life.

Speaking of mothers, Amy is still one, so I bet River was there inside the house at the end. And they always set an extra place for the Doctor. Bless them. And Amy still calls Rory ‘Mr Pond’, and she has one of those hideous jumpers that inexplicibly looks great on her, and she calls River ‘a good girl’. OH, MELODY WAS TOTALLY IN THAT HOUSE. Probably about to jump out on the Doctor and slap him for something he hadn’t done yet.

Also: loved both the Arwell children. Also, it makes me realise how rare it is to have siblings on this show- Martha’s been the only companion so far to have any.

BILL BAILEY. But he had hardly any lines! :( He was pretty much wasted, which is a shame.

Hey, this episode passed the Bechdel test.

I’m hoping that ‘he followed me home until I agreed to marry him’ is actually just 1940s-speak for ‘we totes hung out walking back from work, we talked loads and found out we had loads in common, and one day he was like MARRY ME and I was like YEAH SURE.’

NOW I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR SERIES SEVEN. Which we’re not getting for sodding months.

There was a conversation at work today that went a little bit like this:

ME (flying toy helicopter)
CUSTOMER I thought you were a boy in disguise.
ME ???
CUSTOMER Cos those are boy’s gadgets.
ME Say wut?
CUSTOMER Not saying you look like a boy or anything.
ME Thanks…

IN OTHER NEWS: The Doctor Who spoiler. I have a theory. The Ponds will leave heartbreakingly, because they’ll die. But of natural causes, having lived long and mostly happy lives. The Doctor was too late for Reinette and she died without him, but the Doctor will be there for Amy, and probably Rory too, when they pass on. ALSO I STARTED WRITING A FANFIC ABOUT THIS BEFORE THIS SPOILER WAS ANNOUCED, so expect it in a few days.
