I was gonna post last night after I watched the latest Doctor Who, but then I had too many thoughts! So many thoughts! I still have too many, but I reckon I will post incoherence now and sort it all out later.



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOMG. Okay, I'm not particularly surprised by the reveal of River being Amy's daughter since it has been high on random speculations in my head for awhile now, but I am EXCITE because it was one of my favorite theories despite the fact that it trashes one of my favorite girl pairings. 'Cause it also lends a different eye and weight to their earlier interactions that is really fun to go back and look at.

And with Rory. Suddenly I have a whole new eye for that scene where River confesses her fears about the day the Doctor won't know her anymore in the first ep this season. I did think it was a little weird at the time for her to go all soul baring to a near stranger while looking for scary aliens in a basement. But. A daughter wanting to unload some of her fears and anxiety on her daddy when it was getting clearer she was moving to the end of her time with the Doctor? PERFECT SENSE. Also, in my head the amazing display of shooting the crap out of the Silents wasn't just to impress the Doctor (or save the day). It was also a little bit of 'Mom, Dad! LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!' The grown up version of macaroni art, only with explosions.

So, yes, that happened and I am pleased. Especially pleased at the Doctor's weirdly giddy reaction to discovering that he's basically dating Amy and Rory's daughter. HE STRAIGHTENED HIS BOW TIE after making kissy faces. <3 <3 <3 forEVER.

Plot. Right. There was a plot, right? And it set up important stuff and things happened, and the Doctor still has his Oncoming Storm issues which we are dealing with, and baby River did explode into goo and is out there somewhere being trained for war against the Doctor and..and...no, these thoughts are not coalescing yet so I'll just sit here and wait impatiently for hiatus to end and for the rest of the season to ride it out.

In conclusion, I still love my show so much.

I already loved River confiding in Rory (because you would, he's that person, everyone talks to him) but now. Oh. Oh River.

In lieu of actual coherent comment on other matters, I'll be over here drawing hearts and flowers round Rory going to get his girls.

Rory would so be the best dad ever.

I was quite enough in love with Rory as it was, Rory-with-the-baby...oh my heart.

He really would. He's so sensible, yet aware that the crazy will happen and sometimes you just have to roll with it, and as long as everyone is fed and watered and nobody dies that's fine.

And he's the one you would go to for hugs! When it's time to build the tree fort in the backyard and swing off it, Amy is the parent that would write you a fake sick note for school so you could spend the day doing just that and pretending to be pirates. When you fell *off* the swing it's Rory who would be waiting with the bandaids and the cuddles.

<3 <3 <3 <3

Yes. And when it comes down to really important stuff Amy would say 'What did your dad say?' and you'd have to say 'No' and she'd say 'Did you make your point properly?' and you'd try again and Rory'd still say 'No' and she'd say 'Well, then' because some things Rory is right about and she doesn't argue with him on those.

I suspect the Amy & Rory parenting model would be quite good, actually.
