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*

I'm convinced that the eyepatch lady is some sort of nanny or midwife or nurse who exists in the alternate timeline/universe in which Amy is pregnant. (Though, that's mostly just based on general instinct, which is also telling me she's not to be trusted...)

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. :)

Hmmm. Yes, that sounds plausible/possible.

*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.)

Argh, Sorry! I keep forgetting that things like that count as spoilers and that some people have the self-control to avoid them. I really must get better at not inadvertently telling people things... Again - Sorry!

[elisi]

Don't worry, it was only minor. (It's pretty obvious that everything and the kitchen sink will be thrown into ep7...)

And really, I ought to have said something in the post about spoilers. We all have different thresholds. :)
