rumpelsnorcackArgh! What are they doing to me, here? I have never felt compelled to write about any Who episode before, but right now I need to talk about this one.
First, I have to say that it's amazing just how cohesive this series is when you get down and look back at the nitty gritty. Not just the cracks in the universe but so many tiny, seemingly irrelevant details that suddenly spring into shocking clarity and some that I hope are totally off the wall and still irrelevant because if they all come together the way some people's analyses suggest then I will curl up in a ball and be very very sad. Other people have said a lot of insightful and intelligent things so I'm going to focus on the character who is drawing me in the most in this series. Rory.
They need to stop making me love Rory and then destroying him, then bringing him back, then destroying him another way ... I can't cope. He's the one character who isn't a Doctor or a female companion that I have really fallen for (and I love him more than I love Martha, for example). It doesn't help that I ship him and Amy so hard (as hard as I ship Ten/Rose, and that's saying something ...) so if they leave things even remotely close to where they are now I will rampage around my house for a while then try to fix it for him in fic. I have one simmering anyways, and if this doesn't go 'right' I am totally definitely making it happen. I loved Rory from the first moment we saw him and I was so worried he'd become another Mickey, thrown over for the Doctor, but in the end what's happened to poor Rory is so much worse ... Mickey loses the girl, Rory is losing himself :( Even the episode where Rory ceases to exist didn't affect me this much. I just hate that we got him back just to find out he's not real :( and then have him unable to stop himself from destroying Amy :( That cannot be the way they leave him ... or I'll cry :(
I have a lot of thinky thoughts about the episode but it's all a confused mess so I'm not going to write them down here. I'm mostly mourning my Rory ... again. There should be a law against that. Seriously!
