Think back to the first episode. Little Amy gives the Doctor an apple in her bedroom. She says "Mum carves faces on them so I'll like them." The apple was fresh. Amy lost her mother that night, did not remember, but knew something was wrong and asked Santa for help. It broke my heart when I realized.
Hi lovely reaction, yes in the angels episode I always thought it was a continuity error when he was speak to eyes shut Amy as he was wearing his jacket again after the angels had grabbed it off him , but of course it was future doctor returned to tell Amy to remember him. Brilliant writing
I remember at the time people on the internet were going on about the continuity error of him wearing a jacket in that scene. Ha! Planned all along. Brilliant
When the Tardiis was destroyed, we were told it was on the 26th of June 2010. It was also the date of the wedding. The 26th of June 2010 was also the date that this episode was broadcast in the UK.
"... on the Fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked - a question that must never be answered." SMILES!!!
At 8:37 you were asking why didn’t the doctor just use the cards that young amy gave to him. Well heres a “simple” explanation: A bootstrap paradox- A object or idea that has no start or end point in time. Example: If your future self gave you a piece of paper with the time travel formula and then in the future; you would go back in time and give yourself the SAME paper, it would be impossible. You might wonder: Where would the paper have come from? The answer is, there is none. Its impossible, And to add on to that if it was the same paper that keeps going back in time infinity, eventually it would degrade into nothing, making it impossible for your past self to even invent time travel in the first place. So that why the doctor didn’t take the same cards and decided to create those cards himself, making the cards have a starting point in time so it doesn’t cause a bootstrap paradox. Thats all, Thanks for Coming to my Ted Talk (I love Steven Moffat’s era because the fact he uses a tv show thats about time travel to the fullest effect)
Obviously in Vincent we explored Amy's subtle pain and loss with the crack taking away Rory, but now we realise she's been struggling with that the entire time and the clues were all there. When asked about her mum and dad she had to think about it, the house is quite big for a little girl and her aunt and the apples that her mum carved faces in were fresh, likely even meaning the reason she was praying scared was because it had just swollowed her parents up and she couldn't even work out why. And that's why she was scared of he own life and so attached to her imaginary friend, as with all kids it was helping her through the hurts of her life. Also as for the police not still searching for little Amelia in the museum is likely because they stopped existing. This finale is my favourite and really up my alley. I really love out right crazy and complicated Sci Fi that at it's core has very simple and human heart. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's def mine. As for Matt, childlike old soul is definitely right. He's like if that kind of granddad who in their old age has grown into a childlike joy actually getting to go back into a young man's body. It's actually very polar opposite of William Hartnell who was like a child playing at being a grown up whilst Matt is like an old man playing at being young and I love both.
It adds so many layers to Amy’s character. Brilliant analysis, you have given some really interesting points, especially regarding why she was so attached to the Doctor! Oh of course they stopped existing! Thanks for letting me know😄 I agree, I feel like every story should come down to the heart of it. I get what you mean about Matt Smith, he’s a bit like Charlie’s grandpa in Willy Wonka🤣 Thanks for the comment💖
Almost first again. XD So thrilled to see your reaction! Seems the Vincent episode had a lasting impact if I look at your background ;) I really love the scene in which the Doctor tells sleeping Amy his story to plant himself inside her mind to be remembered at her wedding. Not only is the whole scene very clever with a brilliant resolution at the wedding, but it also shows how amazing an actor Matt Smith is, because in that scene he really sells the almost 900 year old, tired traveller which stands in stark contrast to his usual child like energy and enthusiasm. Rory and Amy are so awesome, they are amongst my favorite companions of New Who, sharing the top spot with another one that comes later. :)
Oh it did! I actually went to see the Van Gogh immersive experience which was really good😄 That moment! I agree, it had to be one of my favourite Doctor scenes because of how brilliant Matt Smith’s acting was. I really love Amy and Rory too, Rose is still my favourite though. I’m looking forward to finding out who your top companion is😄
I love that for now, you and Brittany Binges are uploading your Doctor Who reactions on exactly the same episode. She's already done with the whole series on her patreon, but her youtube uploads match yours. Theres one other person as well, but I can't for the life of me remember who it is, all 3 of you on the same episode and nearly same schedule.
I've really been looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint. I love this whole season, and it's certainly one of the strongest of the whole show. Love your perspective and the time and thought you put into the outro. Looking forward to the next season!
14:25 Anyone else notice a resemblance? 😂 This is my favorite DW two-parter, and one of my favorite series finales, along with series 6. I love the scene with River and the Dalek, and the scene where Amy remembers the Doctor. The next series is, in my opinion, the best one. I love the Matt Smith/Steven Moffat era, and I can't wait to see how you like the next series.
It was such a good two-parter😄 They were brilliant scenes, I love how scared the dalek was of River!🤣 So far I am enjoying season 6, and I’m already looking forward to how the season progresses from the first episode.
This two parter and an episode from season 6 are definitely my favorite episodes. Thanks UA-cam for recommending this channel last week. Loved your reaction to part 1.
Your reaction to this series has made me enjoy it on a whole new level. Series 5 now is the only one where I like every episode. I can't believe how well you seemed to have an idea of where the story was going/ saying things just before the character did. I've loved every bit of your videos and can't wait for the Xmas special and seeing you enjoy more adventures with Rory Amy and the Doctor! 😍
Aw I’m so glad I could do that for you!😄 yeah, I feel like I have synced up with the characters🤣 Thanks for watching, I really appreciate this comment and I’m happy your watching with me!💖
This episode has a heck of a lot of wibbly wobbly timey wimey and I love it! River showing how awesome she is with that Dalek, haha. The moment between the Doctor and Amy waaaay back in the Angels episode has a whole new meaning now... That was very interesting and unexpected, but brilliant. Also, that beautiful scene about the Doctor talking about how we are stories... That made me think a little about how important stories are. I think I mentioned in a comment before how significant they are and what the Doctor says about we being stories in the end is something so true and powerful. The way you called how the Doctor just sent "geronimo", tho 😂😂 Aaaaaaannnndddddd you gotta love the crazy "drunken giraffe" dance! I believe that was an improv from Matt Smith who got the script saying that "the Doctor is a terrible dancer". Loved the reaction, you are incredibly fun to watch! I'm very excited for everything that you have yet to see and I'll for sure be here for that! EDIT: Somehow I forgot to mention this, but Rory is literally the best!
I loved that scene between River and the dalek🤣 I agree, this adds more depth and significance to the moment between the Doctor and Amy. Stories are so important, they are the only thing that lasts. I really love the writing in this scene. I mean how could he not say it🤣the giraffe dancing was interesting, I don’t think I would have been any better🤣 Thank you, I’m happy you enjoy watching my rambling! It’s nice when reading the comments I feel like I watched it with all of ya😄 Rory Fan club!
There are two awesome parts of this episode, obviously the speeches like the something old, new borrowed blue. But my favourite part is that he travels back in time to grab amelias drink off amelia to give to future amelia because the doctor stole past emelias drink so she no longer has one. It really messes with your head that one, and makes me chuckle every time
The girl who played Young Amy was the real life cousin of Karen Gillian. The best part, they didn't know each other before she showed up for the audition. That's why they look related. They are related.
This season, finale episodes I enjoyed for different reasons. Part 1 was epic in scope and had that lovely cliffhanger at the end, but part 2 is more enjoyable because of how everything is (almost) wrapped up. And we got a genuinely creepy Dalek appearance, remember we ranked about this earlier in the series. How the standard Who villains shine better in episodes where they aren't the main threat during this era? Here's an example
I feel the same way about part 1 and 2😄 I think some of the classic villains can shine on their own like the Master, but it is definitely more interesting when there is a bigger threat that they build up to😄
@ReactandRamble Speaking of the Master, I was never a fan of that character, even the RTD era version, though he had his moments. It didn't help that a sort of better version of the Master was done on Torchwood with Capt John Heart, who was every bit a "Master" type character with Jack. But I agree the Master and other huge antagonists like him are usually best left to ham it up for the camera as the main threat, Lol
Once you definitively learn who River is (there will be a moment you KNOW), I highly suggest rewatching all of her episodes again, even if on your own time. It is very surreal to rewatch with that knowledge.
To clarify , a great reaction from you, and yes this is probably in my top 5 Matt Smith episodes. I'll let you know after your reaction to a certain Season 6 episode which is my favourite of his, but i'm predicting you will absolutely love it too. There are still a lot of good ones ahead, including the Christmas special coming up next.
Thank you, and Matt Smith was brilliant! I’m looking forward to Season 6 now, let me know when your favourite episode comes up😄 You were right about the Christmas special, I would say it’s one of my favourite episodes now.
I think the lack of an argument about the Pandorica is two-fold: From a meta, writing aense it would risk being a bit predictable given they have done that both tines previously. And from a story sense, the doctor was dying from the dalek shot ao he needed the restoration field the same way Amy did at the end of the last episode so River knows it is bettpif he goes and she works to bring him back.
@@ReactandRamble also to add, he couldn't regenerate on the stairs cause he's out of regenerations. He only gets 12 I think and 11 is the last one, not saying anything else cause you know: spoilers.
Well if you want that sort of logic when did he first get out the box to travel into the past to get himself out of the box. I think the leaflet being the same one at that point is a minor niggle lol
Its not so much a “when did he originally write them situation”, its more to do with the fact that had he not written a new version, then the original leaflet would have been continuously aging with each loop, and eventually degrade , causing a whole bunch of timey wimey problems. Creating a new leaflet from scratch ensures the bootstrap paradox is a perfect loop!
I couldn't help laughing when you said if it had been you in Amy's place and your imaginary friend turned out to be real. That is because i'm the same. It is something my girlfriend and all of my exes have got annoyed about. I can't help saying 'i told you so' on the rare occasions i prove them wrong. Do i feel guilty? Nope!😂😂😂
I know that makes me sound an evil boyfriend, but my gf also knows how much i love her, and in the same same circumstances if it were possible, i'd do the sa!e for her as Rory. It's just i'm English, it's in my nature to pisstake her a bit too, as much as i do out of myself.😋
Nah, I totally get it! I’m sure like you said, you tell your girlfriend how much you love her and she knows your just winding her up, friendly banter🤣It’s probably a UK thing🤣
For a long time, S6 was my second favourite season until S10 pipped it to the post. I still think it's fantastic, though. I do wonder whether the adjusted structure of the season is the reason why a lot of people are a bit down on it - it is quite front-loaded with all the massive story beats, with more of the standalone stuff in the second half.
@@lanmandragoran8337 It's a really popular punching bag for "the season where everything starts going to shit". It's not as good as 5 for me but it's got some bangers. And God Complex is my favourite episode in the franchise.
Ok, so I think this Christmas special had to be my favourite so far too! Brilliant episode😄 I’m sure I will enjoy season 6, I don’t think I’ve heard anything negative about it yet.
I’ve watched DW since the first episode in 1963 and rewatched all the Doctors a lot. I too didn’t want 10 to go, I adored Two, and who doesn’t love Four, (Six - controversial I know but I liked him) but now my favourite Doctors have all been surpassed by Eleven. Good writing isn’t always obvious until you reread (watch) it, and Moffat writing takes a bit of work sometimes, maybe too much for those who watched as kids and never revisited. Moffat provided a perfect vehicle for Matt Smith to be sublime. I love RTD as a writer but his original DW era without the “rose-tinted” spectacles upon rewatch occasionally feels a bit two dimensional to me. For fun I’ve watched the RTD era without the Moffat episodes, which gives a different complexion, and also watched the River Song story in the correct order for her which adds a whole new dimension; sad perhaps,but then I’ve had a long time to think about it. 😊
I love your commitment to Doctor Who! I should really check out some of the classic Who Doctors😄 I get what you mean about Moffat’s great writing, it’s actually everyone in the comments that have brought my attention to details I didn’t notice or understand! Matt Smith is pretty spectacular and I do think Moffat writes a more intriguing, complex story taking the season into account as a whole, more than RTD even though I enjoyed most of his episodes too. I’m looking forward to discovering more about River😄 Thanks for commenting💖
When I was a little kid I had an imaginary friend called Uncle Nobody. As I grew up I took the memory of Uncle Nobody and put it away on a shelf in the back of my mind. Then when I was 13 or 14 I was in the kitchen with my mother and grandmother when my mother said something that caused my grandmother drag something up out of her own past. My mother was an only child, but even so, she always felt she was meant to have a brother. My grandmother said before she was pregnant with my mother, she'd been pregnant before, with a little boy. Sadly, the baby was still born. My grandmother said something that caused a chill to run down my spine. "We were expecting a baby but nobody came." I'm not sure what the law is elsewhere, but in the US a baby is not considered alive until it takes its first breath outside the womb. If that never happens, the baby doesn't get a birth certificate, nor even a name. They are disposed of in the way the hospital disposes off all of its biological tissues, extracted organs, tumors, amputated limbs.. It is all incinerated in a huge furnace. What if my still born uncle knew somehow my grandmother was thinking "...nobody came." and the ghost of the still born baby took it as "...Nobody came." That boy, had he lived would have been my uncle, and "Nobody" was the only name he ever got.
It is kinda weird how much Amy wants to kiss the doctor but it is totally in character for her. If you don’t remember, she was a “kiss-o-gram” when the doctor came back for her in the eleventh hour. She’d dress up and go kiss people at parties. And when she introduced Rory to the doctor she said he was her friend and when he corrected her she said “kind of… boyfriend”.
The only thing missing from this wedding was a cèilidh, I really wanted to see the Doctor do Strip the WIllow or the Gay Gordons lol. In terms of the show itself, it's a clever plot device of Steve Moffat to do a reboot of the universe. It must be difficult to write creative stories set on earth after the events of Canary Wharf, the Stolen Earth, and all these other invasions. He's given himself a clean slate to work with. I think Amy's flirtiness with the Doctor isn't romantic or lustiness, but more just playful banter at this point. If the Doctor ever accepted her advances I think she'd actually freak out, because she doesn't really want to go there (I do think she did want to the first time, but not at this point).
The Doctor would have loved that! I’m surprised we didn’t see the typical Scottish ending to a party, a circle like mosh pit to ‘Loch Lomond’🤣 Ooh that is very clever to give himself a clean slate. I actually agree, it just seems random at times! I now believe she is 100% committed to Rory (after all Rory has done, how could she not be?!)😄
I am old enough to remember watching the first ever episode in 1963. Tom Baker was my favourite doctor in the classic era. The Matt Smith run in my opinion had some of the best story arcs. Amy Pond best companion.
In every incantation of Amelia Pond growing up, she knows a truth and is told she is wrong and will not stop believing in her truth. Amelia Pond is a Warrior Princess, Amelia Pond is extraordinary...... the "Stuff of Legends" always deserved "The Last Centurion"
And now we officially we have The Ponds, both together. Favorite companions
Think back to the first episode. Little Amy gives the Doctor an apple in her bedroom. She says "Mum carves faces on them so I'll like them." The apple was fresh. Amy lost her mother that night, did not remember, but knew something was wrong and asked Santa for help. It broke my heart when I realized.
Holy SHIT
Yeah, I agree with the above comment! That is amazing you noticed that😄
Hooly shit, I've watched so much, seen so many reactions...but I never thought about this. That is such an amazing little hidden detail.
Hi lovely reaction, yes in the angels episode I always thought it was a continuity error when he was speak to eyes shut Amy as he was wearing his jacket again after the angels had grabbed it off him , but of course it was future doctor returned to tell Amy to remember him. Brilliant writing
I remember at the time people on the internet were going on about the continuity error of him wearing a jacket in that scene. Ha! Planned all along. Brilliant
And let's not forget that in this episode the soulless killing machines have a concept of mercy.
Surely this is a mistake too *winkwink
@maxhax367 but the real question is where did he get a cup of tea?
@@CrankyGrandmaThere were sone of us who didn't think the jacket was a continuity error, but we weren't sure.
Thank you! I agree, excellent writing!😄
Something Old, Something New
Something borrowed, SOMETHING BLUE!!!!
such great way to bring him back
Agreed!
When the Tardiis was destroyed, we were told it was on the 26th of June 2010. It was also the date of the wedding.
The 26th of June 2010 was also the date that this episode was broadcast in the UK.
That’s really cool that they made the date the same as the release date😊
"... on the Fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked - a question that must never be answered." SMILES!!!
Karen and her real life cousin playing the same person at different ages.
6:20, a seismic move was felt when this was first broadcast, caused by multitude of "Yes!!!" shouted.
Rory is literally the best I love him so much. And the “You have bewitched me body and soul” gif was perfect for that moment 🤣
Him protecting the Pandoric always gets me choked up. Rory is the absolute best
I’m with you there!💖 Yeah, I thought it was fitting😂
At 8:37 you were asking why didn’t the doctor just use the cards that young amy gave to him. Well heres a “simple” explanation:
A bootstrap paradox- A object or idea that has no start or end point in time.

Thats all, Thanks for Coming to my Ted Talk (I love Steven Moffat’s era because the fact he uses a tv show thats about time travel to the fullest effect)
Ok thank you so much for this explanation!🙏 You have described the bootstrap paradox in a way I can understand it😄
Obviously in Vincent we explored Amy's subtle pain and loss with the crack taking away Rory, but now we realise she's been struggling with that the entire time and the clues were all there.

I think you’re really going to love how Rivers story plays out, it’s a wild ride! I’m excited to see your reaction 😁

Well now I’m excited!😄💖
Almost first again. XD

Rory Williams making the rest of us humans look bad for 2000 years by standing outside a box
This is one of my favorite episodes
The first finale of New Who without changing the cast.
Next season might be one of the best seasons period
Excellent end to the Series. Bringing things to a conclusion, for now, through very emotional scenes. Somethings still outstanding.
This episode has a heck of a lot of wibbly wobbly timey wimey and I love it!
River showing how awesome she is with that Dalek, haha. The moment between the Doctor and Amy waaaay back in the Angels episode has a whole new meaning now... That was very interesting and unexpected, but brilliant. Also, that beautiful scene about the Doctor talking about how we are stories... That made me think a little about how important stories are.

EDIT: Somehow I forgot to mention this, but Rory is literally the best!
I loved that scene between River and the dalek🤣
I agree, this adds more depth and significance to the moment between the Doctor and Amy. Stories are so important, they are the only thing that lasts. I really love the writing in this scene.
I mean how could he not say it🤣the giraffe dancing was interesting, I don’t think I would have been any better🤣 Thank you, I’m happy you enjoy watching my rambling! It’s nice when reading the comments I feel like I watched it with all of ya😄
Rory Fan club!
There are two awesome parts of this episode, obviously the speeches like the something old, new borrowed blue. But my favourite part is that he travels back in time to grab amelias drink off amelia to give to future amelia because the doctor stole past emelias drink so she no longer has one. It really messes with your head that one, and makes me chuckle every time
I have to be careful how i word it because my usual term would give away too much, but the set of companions in this arc is my favorite.
The girl who played Young Amy was the real life cousin of Karen Gillian. The best part, they didn't know each other before she showed up for the audition. That's why they look related. They are related.
Well I knew they were related but I had no idea that they didn’t know each other! That’s amazing😄

Rewatching this season, and some of the previous one, with all of the knowledge is such a treat.
I’m so excited to unravel the mystery of River! I will either do a rewatch or watch go back and watch reaction videos🤣
To clarify , a great reaction from you, and yes this is probably in my top 5 Matt Smith episodes. I'll let you know after your reaction to a certain Season 6 episode which is my favourite of his, but i'm predicting you will absolutely love it too. There are still a lot of good ones ahead, including the Christmas special coming up next.
Thank you, and Matt Smith was brilliant! I’m looking forward to Season 6 now, let me know when your favourite episode comes up😄 You were right about the Christmas special, I would say it’s one of my favourite episodes now.

I know that makes me sound an evil boyfriend, but my gf also knows how much i love her, and in the same same circumstances if it were possible, i'd do the sa!e for her as Rory. It's just i'm English, it's in my nature to pisstake her a bit too, as much as i do out of myself.😋
Nah, I totally get it! I’m sure like you said, you tell your girlfriend how much you love her and she knows your just winding her up, friendly banter🤣It’s probably a UK thing🤣
Happy to be the 101th Like!!!! THANKS for this, @ReactandRamble !!!!!!

Thank you! I appreciate it💖😄
You are going to be amazed then you learn the true relationship between the "Doctor, Rory and Amy.
Well now I want to know what’s going on!🤣
React and Ramble, awesome video bro
Thanks for watching😄
Ah my favourite finale and then next is my favourite christmas special. And season 6 to me is better than people say it is.
Who says season 6 is a bad season? I fucking love season 6. Then again, River Song is my favorite character in all of Doctor Who.
For a long time, S6 was my second favourite season until S10 pipped it to the post.
I still think it's fantastic, though. I do wonder whether the adjusted structure of the season is the reason why a lot of people are a bit down on it - it is quite front-loaded with all the massive story beats, with more of the standalone stuff in the second half.
@@lanmandragoran8337 It's a really popular punching bag for "the season where everything starts going to shit". It's not as good as 5 for me but it's got some bangers. And God Complex is my favourite episode in the franchise.
Ok, so I think this Christmas special had to be my favourite so far too! Brilliant episode😄 I’m sure I will enjoy season 6, I don’t think I’ve heard anything negative about it yet.
I’ve watched DW since the first episode in 1963 and rewatched all the Doctors a lot. I too didn’t want 10 to go, I adored Two, and who doesn’t love Four, (Six - controversial I know but I liked him) but now my favourite Doctors have all been surpassed by Eleven. Good writing isn’t always obvious until you reread (watch) it, and Moffat writing takes a bit of work sometimes, maybe too much for those who watched as kids and never revisited. Moffat provided a perfect vehicle for Matt Smith to be sublime. I love RTD as a writer but his original DW era without the “rose-tinted” spectacles upon rewatch occasionally feels a bit two dimensional to me. For fun I’ve watched the RTD era without the Moffat episodes, which gives a different complexion, and also watched the River Song story in the correct order for her which adds a whole new dimension; sad perhaps,but then I’ve had a long time to think about it. 😊
I love your commitment to Doctor Who! I should really check out some of the classic Who Doctors😄
I get what you mean about Moffat’s great writing, it’s actually everyone in the comments that have brought my attention to details I didn’t notice or understand!
Matt Smith is pretty spectacular and I do think Moffat writes a more intriguing, complex story taking the season into account as a whole, more than RTD even though I enjoyed most of his episodes too. I’m looking forward to discovering more about River😄 Thanks for commenting💖
No human has ever honeymooned on the TARDIS. I wonder if something interesting might happen,
Can you imagine having your honeymoon on the TARDIS.
When I was a little kid I had an imaginary friend called Uncle Nobody. As I grew up I took the memory of Uncle Nobody and put it away on a shelf in the back of my mind.
Then when I was 13 or 14 I was in the kitchen with my mother and grandmother when my mother said something that caused my grandmother drag something up out of her own past.
My mother was an only child, but even so, she always felt she was meant to have a brother.
My grandmother said before she was pregnant with my mother, she'd been pregnant before, with a little boy. Sadly, the baby was still born. My grandmother said something that caused a chill to run down my spine. "We were expecting a baby but nobody came."
I'm not sure what the law is elsewhere, but in the US a baby is not considered alive until it takes its first breath outside the womb. If that never happens, the baby doesn't get a birth certificate, nor even a name. They are disposed of in the way the hospital disposes off all of its biological tissues, extracted organs, tumors, amputated limbs.. It is all incinerated in a huge furnace.
What if my still born uncle knew somehow my grandmother was thinking "...nobody came." and the ghost of the still born baby took it as "...Nobody came."
That boy, had he lived would have been my uncle, and "Nobody" was the only name he ever got.
It is kinda weird how much Amy wants to kiss the doctor but it is totally in character for her. If you don’t remember, she was a “kiss-o-gram” when the doctor came back for her in the eleventh hour. She’d dress up and go kiss people at parties. And when she introduced Rory to the doctor she said he was her friend and when he corrected her she said “kind of… boyfriend”.
The Christmas episode reminded me she was a “kiss-o-gram”! I see what you mean and I’m just taking it as it’s a bit of a joke now too😊
Since the universe restarted, this technically means my count is at 3. Again, don't inquire as to what I am counting, spoilers.
If the dalek had intestines, it probably would have soiled itself 😂😂
Oh 100%🤣
@@ReactandRamble also you gotta love that only 2 people in the universe can provoke that reaction in a Dalek 😂😂
I'll be a story in your head.
But that's ok.
We're all stories in the end.
But make it a good one, eh?
'Cause it was, you know?
It was the best.
I love this tardis team so much! Ughhh!
After thia episode rory becomes older than the doctor for a while
The only thing missing from this wedding was a cèilidh, I really wanted to see the Doctor do Strip the WIllow or the Gay Gordons lol.
In terms of the show itself, it's a clever plot device of Steve Moffat to do a reboot of the universe. It must be difficult to write creative stories set on earth after the events of Canary Wharf, the Stolen Earth, and all these other invasions. He's given himself a clean slate to work with.
I think Amy's flirtiness with the Doctor isn't romantic or lustiness, but more just playful banter at this point. If the Doctor ever accepted her advances I think she'd actually freak out, because she doesn't really want to go there (I do think she did want to the first time, but not at this point).
The Doctor would have loved that! I’m surprised we didn’t see the typical Scottish ending to a party, a circle like mosh pit to ‘Loch Lomond’🤣
Ooh that is very clever to give himself a clean slate.
I actually agree, it just seems random at times! I now believe she is 100% committed to Rory (after all Rory has done, how could she not be?!)😄
I am old enough to remember watching the first ever episode in 1963.
Tom Baker was my favourite doctor in the classic era.
The Matt Smith run in my opinion had some of the best story arcs.
Amy Pond best companion.
I might watch some of the classic episodes one of these days!
I’m enjoying Matt Smith’s run so far and Amy Pond has been brilliant😄
You kind of look like Amy Pond
That is a huge compliment, thank you!💖😄
You don't have family in Balamory do you?
I wish🤣 oh they are renewing the Balamory show😄
@@ReactandRamble Hmm, there is a resemblance... Greg Hemphill did a short horror on the BBC with his wife and Frankie Boyle that was quite good
In every incantation of Amelia Pond growing up, she knows a truth and is told she is wrong and will not stop believing in her truth.
Amelia Pond is a Warrior Princess, Amelia Pond is extraordinary...... the "Stuff of Legends" always deserved "The Last Centurion"
