This is a bit of a set piece. We have our core characters in an odd dilemma of what is reality and what is fantasy and who’s fantasy is it? My theory I am putting behind the cut.<\/p>\n
I like Rory more and more. I am hoping that he sticks around for a while because the dynamics between the Doctor, Rory, and Amy are really neat. And Amy\u2019s feelings for both Rory and the Doctor are an interesting mix.<\/p>\n
The structure of the story was interesting. I have to say that it had me going for a while but the ending left me a little unsatisfied.<\/p>\n
I am enjoy this season a lot. I do find it interesting that, for most of these episodes, you could drop just about any incarnation of the Doctor and it would work one way or another. Moffat seems to have more of a sense of \u201chistory\u201d of the character than RTD did (again I am not slamming RTD, just noting a difference).<\/p>\n
As usual spoilers can only go up through Amy\u2019s Choice and I have seen the next two episodes and would like to leave those who haven\u2019t totally spoiler free thank you.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to start with the ending here and work my way back.<\/p>\n
I thought the ending was a little confused and a little pat all in one. OK it was the Doctor making up the dreams? I can kind of put this together is you put the Valeyard in the mix as the Doctor\u2019s last incarnation or potential last incarnation. After that, I think it might be a clue to the end of the season or it will make more sense after the end of the season.<\/p>\n
So was it Rory\u2019s Dream, Amy\u2019s Dream, or the Doctor\u2019s dream for them in the village? It seemed to be Rory\u2019s until towards the middle then it seemed to be the Doctor\u2019s. And the freezing TARDIS as the other problem that must be solved was a nice contrast. And since they were dreaming within a dream, the logic of how things work go out the window.<\/p>\n
Also Amy really didn’t have a choice as much as they set that up.<\/p>\n
And now I don\u2019t think they can do an episode with Queen Elizabeth due to all the stuff they have said about her. Also you would need Tennant back to do it.<\/p>\n
I thought this was an OK episode with a lot of potential that didn\u2019t get fulfilled. I liked it but I didn\u2019t love it.<\/p>\n
Next week we deal with the Hungry Earth.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for episodes that get me thinking of other stories that could have been told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
