Reaction time!




I. Yes. THAT. THANK YOU! Thank you Moffat for this season which is now officially one of my all time favorite seasons of any tv ever. I wish I could be smart and thinky and wordy about this, but all I can think is THANK YOU.

Pretty much the only downside is having to wait until Christmas. Guess I'll just have to rewatch this season a billion times while I wait. I am okay with that. And I think when I can I will go back to the Eleventy Project and do the vids for the eps I missed. If only so I can spend more time here. With them.

I'm feeling strange, honestly. I'm not used to this, getting what I wanted. And it is mine now and I get to keep it and that would be enough except there is even more on the way.

My show. MINE! MY SHOW! MY ELEVENTY! MY AMY! MY RORY! MY RIVER! MIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

EVERYBODY LIVES! Both Rory and Amy are still traveling with the Doctor! The Doctor is starting to lust River more than he resents her! They are, in fact, one giant foursome of love in the TARDIS of my mind!

Suddenly finding the idea of River-Rory quite epically hot...

I KNOW OMG. I am always puzzled by people who say Moffat doesn't do emotion. Because I have spent this entire season crying and laughing and loving and being deeply moved and then EVERYBODY LIVES. <3 <3 <3

Mmmmmmmmmmm...River/Rory, YES PLZ.

Rory is surprisingly more versatile than I originally expected ship wise. That kind of steady underlying vibe he has going on surrounded by the chaotic personalities of everyone else...it becomes very easy to imagine any of them going 'That would be a nice place to rest, yes it would. Naked.'

I've been a bit concerned about Rory being the butt of jokes/gooseberry/etc., but he's grown on me a lot and I have some hope that the dynamic will be different now that he's proved to be a hero in his own right.

Naked is also good. (:

Huh, I honestly haven't seen the dynamic that way at all. Amy expresses affection through teasing to everyone, not just Rory. And despite the sometimes awkward tension, Eleven has treated Rory with both respect and affection. I've never got the sense that either of them were devaluing him, didn't want him along, or thought he was in any way useless or in the way.

It reminds me way more of the way I'm actually used to expressing and receiving affection from people I care about (ex: sisabet telling everyone at Vividcon I got cancer because I wanted the attention) than it does anything like the exclusion and mocking Mickey faced.

[laurashapiro]

I agree that Amy does that with everyone, and that Eleven treats Rory well. It's more the way the writing has defined him: there's been an air of the ridiculous about some of the scrapes he's got into (I'm thinking about him fighting off the vampire with a broom and so on). Mickey was treated worse by the other characters, no question, but he never did anything that made him look like a buffoon.

Anyway, I am very VERY satisfied with the way things wound up and I can't wait for next season!
