Doctor Who Loves You

Sorry this is late, but I had to wait for my dad to finish watching the rest of the first half of this year's Doctor Who season to post this.

First, some quick hits:

Those two episodes that preceded the finale sucked. The story was overlong and boring and could--SHOULD have been done in a single episode. Why did we need 2 for that? And what was the point of those episodes? Yeah, the flesh is just about real so we should all treat them better... but then, why does the Doctor make the Tardis turn them into real humans? What was that about? Did the Tardis not notice the little speeches everyone gave where they all promised to treat each other more humanely? Crap. And how about the big ball of flesh they find, which makes them... do nothing. Superfluous. Plus the one woman turned into a spider monster because... no idea.

However, the ending was good. That got me, though, as I saw pointed out someplace else, Amy wearing the same clothes for the whole season should have been a tip off that something wasn't right.

While those two episodes were absolutely terrible, I enjoyed the hell out of the finale. Seeing this Doctor finally get angry was a treat, the dirty dozen he recruited were hilarious, and we finally got the answer to the worst attempt by a space ship to send a warning to the passengers who walk inside it. "There is no pond in the forest." How the HELL was anyone supposed to take that and get "River is Amy and Rory's baby"? The Tardis might as well as told them who won the 2014 World Cup for all the good that line did.

Anyway, this post actually started out about something else but degenerated into my thoughts, so I'll have to postpone my suggestion for a Doctor Who related meme until later in the week.
