Oh yes. (I read her finale one this morning and I think my head fell off from sheer awesome.) I was having trouble following that one and couldn't decide if it was her or me. I'm gonna try to come back to it in a few days when, hopefully, my brain has cooled off. I've just been fantastically impressed with every other review she's written.
Her vid on this two parter is especially brilliant. Well they all are, but that one just *really* works.) Usually I give the vids a skip just because I'm only one person and I can't follow all of it, but thanks for pointing me to that one. It is oddly . . . mesmerizing.
Really? Oh I *need* to get a re-watch in! Yeah, it's the strangest thing. For most of the season, Eleven has fluctuated between feeling very old and very young, which was compelling enough. But having seen the bedtime story scene, going back to the old episodes now he truly feels like a very old person, who occasionally acts very young. I hope that continues.
I like the fact that the show went there and was completely up-front about it, and got it out of the way. Such a masterfully done scene, in every way. And I really enjoyed its awkward humor (despite, like you, generally having a problem with cringe-y-ness). Now though? Less funny and more just wrong.
Arthur was talking about how Rory was totally in love with Amy and wanted to do some big romantic gesture for her, but didn't know where to start... *sniff*
Oh I'd not noticed either. Thank you! Well, like I said, it's subtle, but if you compare how she acts in the finale, I'm pretty sure I'm not making it up. And it might just be Alex Kingston feeling out the character, but there is something off about her in those episodes. I'd like to think it's deliberate. Of course we're talking about River here, so she plays a pretty cool customer under pressure, but even when she's all confident and flippant at the top of the episode, she seems a bit shaken underneath.
