I enjoyed the new Doctor Who episode. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was good to watch. The angels weren't as scary as in blink, but it was really well done on the whole. That ending was really intense, though. I can't decide whether it went on for too long or not. That slow-mo running scene to get the last page from the book felt a bit over done.

Lots of spoilers:
I liked the building scene. The building jump was well done and completely unexpected. It actually made sense and I didn't feel like they weaseled their way out of a real ending like they did in The Power of Three. I was wondering how they were going to address Rory's gravestone, but zapping him off like that was even more unexpected. I was then shocked by Amy's unexpected outburst and departure. The ending was fucking intense and generally unexpected. I'm not sure if that's good or not.

The last page idea was well done. I thought that was just more mindless foreshadowing, but tying it into the beginning like that was really clever. I loved the idea of the book in general, but I don't understand how River is going to write it and give it to Amy if they can't go back there.

I'd really started disliking Amy recently. As a character she'd become annoying most of the time and was fairly inconsistent between writers. The building jump really redeemed her for this season. I was hoping that they were going to leave her alone after she went back in time to be with Rory, but that ending with her as a young girl was actually nice.


So, yeah. Amy Pond is still fucking hot.
