SFF: Doctor Who. Series 6. Episode 1 'The Impossible Astronaut'

Spoilers, obvsly.

AUGH. A WHOLE WEEK WHAT.

I don't even know how to pull apart all of the bits and pieces of what I felt for this. I just don't. It was so wonderful and ridiculous and SQUEE-inducing, that people disliking it make me want to slap them.

It is timey-wimey and ridiculous, AND OF COURSE HE WAVES FROM HISTORY OMG. <3

When people ask me what I want from DW, I will now point them at this. THIS. WITH WOMEN TALKING AND DOING THINGS AND RIVER SHOOTING HIS HATS AND RORY BEING BRILLIANT. Oh, and Mark Sheppard. Not gonna lie, I would like to keep him for he is lovely.

*flails a bit* Eee. =D

Also, you know how some people are frightened of the angels, or the thingies in the Library, or "are you my mummy?" ? Well. I'm not. I understand the terror/fright/whatever, but I'm not frightened by them. BUT HOLY GOD THOSE THINGS IN THE SEWER.

THANK YOU, MOFFAT, FOR VISUALIZING THE THINGS I FREAK OUT ABOUT IN MY DREAMS, YOU BASTARD.

Ok, technically not really what I see, but. Y'know, close enough to make me hope the cat goes to bed with me tonight. THEY STEAL YOUR MEMORY OF THEM. WTF. *shudders*

White text speculation time.

I think River is the astronaut, that she knows she is and that Eleventy shows up on her doorstep one day to tell her she's going to have to kill him. Spoilers or not, she needs to know to set this whole thing into motion.

River is the one who sent out the invitations, but the Doctor (who isn't the Doctor) capitalized on them--he said he's been running his 'whole life', but that's not true.

The Doctor we know doesn't have to run, so why does this one?

Alternate timeline fuckery, possibly? Clones? Is he an experiment gone wrong while the Doctor himself is somewhere, preserved until the universe resets itself? idk. Just thoughts.


ALSO, OMG, MATCHING DIARIES, STOP BEING SO MARRIED. <3

Anyway. River/Amy/Eleventy/Rory ot4, ys? ys. BEST TEAM TARDIS EVER. With Mark Sheppard along to mock.

(ps, I love how Moffat plays with time travel and timey-wimey-ness, it's very Sevenish)
