Immediate reaction post. (DW 6.3)
Well that was FUN! Oh I'm sure there's meta somewhere below, what with all the water and the mirrors, but mostly I just enjoyed it enormously! Here are some highlights:
- The Doctor was WRONG! A LOT! This bodes well. (Actually, I like how he constantly changes his mind about what's going on, whenever he gets new information/notices something different.) Also the whole 'Who's the Captain' thing was very silly, but I liked it a lot. :)
- The TARDIS was in a strop and threw a tantrum, and then when the Doctor found her again he RAN to her and HUGGED her! \o/
- Amy as a Pirate Queen, swashbuckling for all she was worth. Hurrah for kickass female rolemodels!
- The siren was a doctor [programme]! Clever. :)
- OMG they (almost) killed Rory! You bastards! (Darcy was going: 'They're IN THE TARDIS! SURELY there's a defibrillator somewhere!' But of course, that would have decreased the dramatic tension. *g*)
- SPACE PIRATES! (I want crossovers with Firefly NOW!)
- Impish Girl reckons that the strange dreamlike Lady With Eyepatch is a sort of Guardian for Amy. I find this notion intriguing.
- and Miss M once more proved that she is my (our) daughter THROUGH AND THROUGH, since once the Confidential started, and we saw The Jolly Roger displayed, she went 'Avery had his own flag, and it was different. Actually most pirates had their own flags. Just hang on, I'll get a book and show you!' (She was right, of course.)
...I'm sure there was more but I've got to run. Oh! The trailer for next week! Gimme gimme gimme! *grabby hands*

Alternately, the siren kidnapped the TARDIS and put her in the sickbay, since she's been malfunctioning for 48 years now... But yeah; "Toby!" "Rory!" "The TARDIS!" ♥
Amy as a Pirate Queen, swashbuckling for all she was worth.
I swear, if we'd just gotten about 2 more minutes of that, I'd be making a fanvid set to Brecht's "Pirate Jenny" right now.
Also, when the Doctor started talking about seeing another world in mirrors, was I the only one flashing back to the end of "Family of Blood"? I was? OK then, nevermind.

And on land...

Well obviously. Poor TARDIS. ♥

You can't use stuff from the Confidential? *looks hopeful*

I was actually thinking about The Girl in the Fireplace. But yeah. MIRRORS!

There HAS to be an episode set entirely within the TARDIS this season. They've been teasing us enough now.

Maybe. I think I'll wait a while yet. The idea just struck me, it depends a bit on where the story goes from now on, but I think one could make something of it... Hmmm.
MIRRORS!
And speaking of realities nested within each other and hiding in plain sight, Gaiman is writing the next episode... \o/
no subject
They really have. *shakes them* (OK, so I can understand that 'not seeing it makes it possible for it to be even more magical, because it resides in the viewers' imagination' etc etc, BUT it's endless y'know? We just need a corner...)

You could intercut with Rory trying to fight Gilbert-the-vampire... ;)

I KNOW!!!!! *is speechless with excitement*

I wonder if Moffat wrote more little glimpses of her in future episodes? I hope she appears in 4, 5 and 6 as well as her reported full appearance in 7. :)
no subject
Hmmm. Yes, that sounds plausible/possible.
(Though, that's mostly just based on general instinct, which is also telling me she's not to be trusted...)
*nods* Although maybe that'll then turn out to be a red herring and she can be trusted...

*prays* (And plz don't tell me ANYTHING. I'm a spoiler phobe through and through.)

And really, I ought to have said something in the post about spoilers. We all have different thresholds. :)
no subject
but I did love the Doctor being super paternal over Amy at the end<3

Mirrors.
Mirrors will be important.

(You know, I would really like to see more of the TARDIS than the control room - you could do a whole freaking episode inside the TARDIS!)

It's like THINKING and PROBLEM SOLVING in the manner that thinking and problem solving ACTUALLY WORK! Now who let that in there? We can't be having any of that!
And we can probably accept the extensive mocking of RTD as read . . .

I mean, I shall not be part of your slander. *looks virtuous*

Ok, I feel 50% better about this episode now.
no subject
- There's a ship stuck in the sea and a siren who can smell blood attacking them
- except it's really a doctor pulling them through to her ship to heal them
- except she's really just a construct; she's not real
- except the ship really is a ship but it's not in the ocean it's in space
- and she can only "rescue" them through a mirror, and she's fiercely protective of her charges
- but the point is they're stuck here until the winds pick up
- and Amy is still seeing that strange lady through a sliding window like you see in an insane asylum and she's still pregnant/not pregnant/pregnant - is she still trapped and actually in an alternate dimension/universe and dreaming of this? Is she dreaming of rescuing Rory because she herself still needs to be rescued? Is she wishing the doctor would just figure it out? GAH!
- and the Tardis isn't sticking around for this nonsense and gives everyone the brushoff (I had forgotten the Tardis was somewhat sentient?)
- and, and HELP I can't make heads nor tails of it. And maybe I'm not supposed to? Maybe I'm just supposed to say Yay Pirates and leave it at that?

Anyway I shall link you to two excellent reviews here here, which do a fantastic job! :) (I've been meaning to link them on my LJ proper. Could do that now...)
