And now it is time for Eleventy day!



OH MY GOD MY SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. I can't actually be coherent at this moment because I am kind of bawling. And the thing is, I have actually been a little worried as the darker aspects of this season have developed that I would...I dunno, lose my squee. Except I haven't, because somehow the balance it has managed to strike between the silly and the profound and the heartbreaking and the hopeful is, for me, just right. And this episode is exactly that. As you might imagine I'm a bit...sensitive about the portrayal of mental illness on the teevee, and while I might have some nitpicks what is right about this outweighs them. And I miss Rory horribly, and this episode managed to let me do that without either dragging down under the weight of it or undervaluing it's importance. And I laughed. And I went eeeeee and pointed and flailed. And I got yet another OT3 out of it (seriously, I'm beginning to wonder if Moff and I were separated at birth on that topic). And it most definitely added to my pile of good things.

'scuse me, I need to go find some tissues.

Cried very hard. One of the best episodes of any era IMO. You done good, Mr. Curtis.

I'm still kind of randomly tearing up hours later. There were just these moments of....*truth* in this that...::FLAIL::

Was talking to calapine about this, that the 'piles of good' speech might be one of my favoritest things pretty much ever on tv. Because it's right. And it was like, there was Eleven GETTING IT, getting this thing that is so hard to explain. And shit, I'm going to start crying again. Because how on earth a fictional character who is not even real (and I REALLY WISH HE WAS) could make me feel like I was being understood. Yeah.

I swear, this season. If it keeps this up, the whole is going to be even greater than the sum of its parts (which are pretty damn amazing to me individually too) and it may just go down as my favorite season of television, of, like, everything I've ever watched (and I have watched and loved a LOT of television, including series of this very show)

I'm kind of amazed at that. I know I'm all pollyanna Tigger about my fannish stuff in general but, really? I thought even I was too cynical and not young enough anymore to have this ever happen again.

I am sounding silly, aren't I?

Yeah, I'm just sort of having...huge feelings about it to the point that I'm staying very, very far away from all but a few people's episode reviews as I might actually yell at anyone who sneers. Which I know is very not rational, but. And the "starry night" scene is one of my favorite scenes on the show ever and I think one of my favorites in anything, ever. And I was right, Amy really does have an artistic bent and love art, and, what you said, and--everything.

"I am sounding silly, aren't I?"

Eeyore over here is feeling all Tigger right along with you, so, let's be silly together. All I can keep thinking is BOX SET NAO PLEEZ?!
