Dr Who thoughts... 6.8 to 6.11

[tari_roo]

Colour me... excited. Not overly, not overwhelmingly, not OTT. Just excited.

It seems to be coming together. And I saw mixed reactions to 6.11 (didn't read 'em, probably won't) but I'm - delighted with how everything is falling together. River's story is utterly fascinating. The Doctor's death being a fixed point in time. I love Rory and Amy's relationship. And for the first time, I felt that the Doctor's impact on the lives of those he loves, travels with, meets was explored without OTT melodrama. I want to hug that man so badly and tell Amy and Rory to run, run as far from him as possible.

Ah, so complex and twisted (in a good way). I'm looking forward to 6.12 (and the finale on the weekend too)

I haven't reacted yet, because I'm not sure what to make of it. Or rather, I'm not sure how to make sense of it yet. The Doctor's jacket keeps disappearing and reappearing, and a couple of comments over at the AVclub have me very confused as to the order of events (there was a suggestion that a few of the later episodes take place before the first couple, and that makes no sense except now I can't unthink it). But I am feeling a bit down that it's been so dark. But considering how twisted the storytelling has been, it's impossible to judge what any of this really means until we've seen the end.

Also, while I'm thinking about it: did I ever rec the story someone wrote for a comment fic meme Bellatemple hosted that was about Rory's adventures with the pandorica?

And did you see those moffat posts (i think I remembered to share the link)?
