Eleven is definitely a professor/teacher, but crosses the teacher/student boundary a lil too often - not in a romantic way or anything, just.. a bit too familiar. He has known her since she was seven, and I think that shows. Part of him still sees that lost little girl inside the big one, and that informs a lot of how he treats her I think.
The monster of the week was a metaphorical demons for all three of them. *nods* And I've read a huge number of posts where people with all sorts of different problems, who all see themselves in this episode. One-size-fits-all! :)
Vincent noticed the tears and she didn't understand.. but oh, Eleven did.. I KNOW! *is sad* And then he changes the subject...
It was such a wonderful episode to deal with all of their issues as a story. It really was. I love it when shows can do that!
I have to admit, I couldn't help wondering if they'd really done the right thing for Vincent later.. or if that must've been a huge mistake. I think the outcome would've happened regardless though. Yeah, it's all very complicated, but that's why it works, I think. There is no right answer.
You know, Rory really wasn't in that many episodes.. but this first one without him after Cold Blood.. almost points out how needed as a character he was! He was the calm, patient character for the three of them. I'm so glad you mentioned him, because I think I was going to write about him, but never got that far. And you're absolutely right, it was better with three! They needed his sensibleness.
He waited, and did what he was told. As much as the Doctor loves adventure... well goodness.. has he has a companion that's done that for him since he became Nine? No! This is so, so true! I'm not very familiar with Old!Who (sadly) but was there ever a Companion who didn't wander off?
Oh my, there I go, nattering on about Rory. I loved Rory. Me too!!! (I am in denial. He will be back!)
Hmm, last note.. two heads.. maybe that's something that could be the result of regenerations gone wrong, like Nine to Ten almost went? Yes, that's what I was thinking. (Although apparently *most* of the Doctor's regenerations almost went wrong! *g*) And now I'm wondering if the two-headed thing is another story-tread, what with the two headed race that was mentioned in the Weeping Angels episode... No, that's me overthinking things. Again. :)
ETA: One more thing re 'The monster of the week was a metaphorical demons for all three of them' that just occurred to me - Vincent (whose demons are clear and present) can see the Krayfais. The Doctor (whose demons are much more hidden, see the Dream Lord, the Master etc) can only see it in a mirror, when running away. And Amy (unaware of the loss she's suffered) can't see it at all, only feel its effects. Well done show! :)
