This is the best filming pic yet. x
AU in which Missy, Kate, and Osgood all hit it off, and MIssy voluntarily calls off the Cybermen in favor of a big “let’s talk about embarrassing things the Doctor did” session with her new gal pals.
A whole episode of the Ponds and not one mention of River ARGH this shouldn’t bug me as much as it does
-KATE the BRIG’S DAUGHTER she was FABULOUS I’m delighted to see her. And even more delighted that apparently she may be back.
-I thought that dude at the end was Ian McDiamid. He was not.
-Oh Brian. Your heart will be broken next week, as well as all of ours.
-Amy’s friend was marrying another woman! I love that!
-Rory’s a nurse and he’s good at it and he has friends at the hospital!
-And Amy’s a TRAVEL JOURNALIST! Inspiring others to do what she does! I love that. Somewhere, in some fictional bubble untouched by real life, Sarah Jane was her mentor.
-Steven Moffat’s approach to real life vs Doctor life is much, much better than RTD’s, I feel. Remember “for the first nineteen years of my life nothing happened, nothing at all”? But here both worlds were shown to be equally desirable, with people in both worlds the Ponds cared for, and…I liked this so much more than what happened to Rose. She couldn’t survive without the Doctor, in the end, but Amy and Rory could.
There’s a lot of stuff sort of lurking in the back of my mind about this episode but I can’t really explain it, woe.
