I'm not a huge fan of the "love is literally magic" plot device Moffat likes so much, but that said:
[spoiler]I feel is going to be an important episode. I don't know how it will all fit together, but I think that the facts that the Tardis can't handle that sort of paradox, that we don't know why the Tardis did what it did to end the last season, that knowing your future lets you change it, and that Rory's choice could easily mirror one The Doctor might have to make with River/Melody will all be important in tying things together.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]They weren't evil robots, though? They were programmed to help the appappapapaapluchsians with their medicine, however since the [] have two hearts like time lords apparently, the medicine would've killed humans.[/spoiler]
Deku:
[spoiler]It wasn't a "love is literally magic" plot device at all. It was literally just that Old Amy realized that keeping Young Amy apart from the man she married and loved dearly for 36 years was something she couldn't do.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I guess you forgot how the two Amy's were united in the same timestream.[/spoiler]Rainbow Dash wrote: Deku:

[spoiler]The Doctor didn't need both Amys thinking about Rory; he just needed them both thinking the same thing, whatever that thing was. It was timey-wimey telepathic magic, not love magic.
I never said the robots were evil, Chunky. The antibody robots last week weren't evil either. Both were just VERY badly programmed.
Deku, remember Rose & Baby Rose in the church? Everything was hunky-dory until they touched; Old & Young Amy didn't touch. The problems wasn't having both of them at the same time (the Doctor and EVERY companion technically do that all the dang time), the problem was having both of them in the TARDIS.[/spoiler]
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[spoiler]The difference is that the door didn't shut behind Rory, he stayed in the doorway and then walked back through. Amy on the other hand walked right in, with the door shutting behind her. Given that the two-streams facility was a medical treatment facility for a highly dangerous disease, it probably functioned as a quarantine facility also.[/spoiler]CaptHayfever wrote:I feel like this entire episode could have been avoided.
[spoiler]Once Rory demonstrated that he could leave the Waterfall stream & rejoin the Doctor in the Anchor stream to no ill effect, why didn't Amy just do the same?[/spoiler]
I\'m cold I want another straight jacket!

^You say that as though Donna was bad or something.
[spoiler]Besides, this can't be too permanent; week after next's episode is called "The Wedding of River Song" & supposedly ties back to the Doctor's death, which Craig isn't there for.[/spoiler]
Last night: Liked it quite a bit more than last week, but considering how frustrating last week was, that's not saying much.
[spoiler]Good to see the Doctor being honest with Amy & her finally putting aside her abandonment issue. Bad to see that he doesn't recognize that their companionship can still exist without any hero-worship, though clearly she does see it.[/spoiler]

With good reason. Though Donna put me right off the show during her time as the companion, I pretty much kept watching the series to see how they'd kill off Catherine Tate. That said that's less because I hated the character and more because I found the actress playing her terminally unfunny and irritating, as I have in everything I've ever seen her taking part in; unfortunately I may well be in the minority.CaptHayfever wrote:^You say that as though Donna was bad or something.
I hadn't actually checked the episode list. I try and avoid anything like that in case there are any spoilers to later on in the series. The way I see it, Doctor Who's greatest strength is it's mystery.
