Culminating in the incredible reveal of Amy in the Pandorica. Didn’t see that coming.
Absolutely! :D I was holding my breath for the Big Bang, wondering how on EARTH Moffat would polish off the absolute dream that was the Pandorica Opens, because that episode was just brilliant. So I wondered the entire time - will he do it? Can he live up to himself in the end?
And the moment I saw Amy Pond sitting in the Pandorica, I KNEW he could. Because it just set me laughing, and laughing! Everybody except plastic!Rory is dying, and yet somehow, right as the title vortex shows, I'm laughing my head off, because Moffat is brilliant! I want to see ONE person who saw that coming. We were ALL waiting for it to be the Doctor, sitting there grinning madly at Amelia, and it's AMY. That's when I knew I'd love the episode.
All your following comments about emotion: YES.
I also love that the Doctor ‘ships it.
Doctor is an Amy/Rory shipper till the last. Their little reunion scene, after Amy thinks Rory burned in the Blitz, and Rory has been waiting for so long, is ADORABLE and sweet. And yet again we see RTD VS Moffat. I love them both, but MOFFAT wins here. He has the Doctor jumping between them, even while Rory and Amy are having this beautiful, romantic snog, and the Doctor's just like "Okay, I'm REALLY happy to see this, but world ending and all, we might want to go!" Thank heavens for the Dalek, yeah? /snicker/
And little Amelia with the fez, thirsty. And she's thirsty because he stole her drink, but he stole her drink because she's thirsty. Oh, time loops, let me count the ways...
Matt Smith I ♥ you to infinity! :)
Seconded. Half-hoping/expecting him to show up wearing one sometime... /shrug/ He can buy a fez. Brilliant. Moffat and Smith and a fez. (I'm convinced that Moffat's little speech about how the fez is supposed to show the audience how the timey-wimeyness works is just a ruse. A conveniently clever and helpful ruse, but a ruse nonetheless; we just all want Matt in a fez.)
Snark, honey I'm home, Picnic, sanity. All mourn the fez. Geronimo. Beautiful. Yes, yes, yes.
I want an icon with that. "My ship burns at the centre of time." Overlay of the TARDIS, with a cut picture of both fez!Matt and River at that moment. YES. /has no Photoshop readily available and is not terribly good at making icons... Will eventually -try- to make if nobody else does, though/
Moffat's level of continuity is RIDICULOUS. Completely insane. Going back as far as the Empty Child with the dancing, and the Doctor always being worth (it/the monsters), and the Angels, and of course all the little hints with River in the Library - face down an army and swagger off with a snap, stories, not ONE LINE! He brings everything back with just the tiniest parallels. BRILLIANT.
(will cont. in a moment, ran out of characters! :D)
