"River, hug Amy." "Why?" "Because I'm busy."

So that was kind of awesome.

I love River. And Amy. And River/Amy fangirling over each other. "You're really good."

Prior to this episode I had been seeing Eleven/Amy's relationship as very grandfather/granddaughter-y and now they have been firmly slotted into big brother/little sister in my head. "Are you Mr. Grumpyface today?" <3

Disclaimer: I was one of those people who was not overly enthused about the Angels coming back, because I thought they were excellent one-episode villains and bringing them back would cheapen that. I was Very Very Wrong, omg. They were used fabulously.

Amy and her stone hand was very nightmare-fuel-y. Worse than that for me, though, was when she rubbed her eye and there was all the stone dust and OMGNO. I have major eye squick. I suspect I am either entirely the wrong audience for Moffat or exactly the right one. (The man likes playing on eye squick, that's all I'm saying.)

I would break my neck trying to wear River's shoes but I nevertheless want them. Thus is the curse of awesome costume departments.

Amy's enthusiasm over "you promised me a planet!" and "is that a planet out there?" was so adorable I have lost words for it. SOCUTE.

I hope the Doctor goes back to leaving the brakes on. It is a brilliant noise. (Matt impersonating the TARDIS landing noises = also brilliant.)

Confession time: Once it was established that the ~alien species whose name I can't remember well enough to try to spell~ had two heads I got grumpy that the prop department hadn't given the statuary two heads and was very much all "bad prop department" AND THEN IT TURNED OUT TO BE A MAJOR PLOT POINT. I apologize for doubting you, prop department.

I HATE CLIFFHANGERS but I love two-parters so idk, I guess that balances out. Is it time for next week's episode yet?

Well then, as long as you don't mind. ^^

I just love this episode so damn much. I wasn't so sure about the return of the angels at first - I mean, I love them, but a couple days ago, I was going "How could they be that scary? As long as the Doctor doesn't use them in the past to sort out the problem, he can just go back and pick them up from wherever."

Buuut then things got worse, and I found myself wondering how in the world I could now look at Blink and go "Meh, that wasn't so bad..." Oh, Moffat. Please never stop being this awesome. Also, please keep throwing River at the TARDIS. ♥

...I need a River icon ASAP. Possibly a River/Amy icon, because DAMN, THEY ARE SO CUTE.

Also, heeere. There are still some things that bother me about it, but eventually I had to force myself to stop rerecording it before I went crazy. And I have a bit of a lisp and there's no way I could fix that. *Hides*

I has a River icon! ...I would still like a River/Amy icon. Socute.

Also, heeere.
*flails* OMG SQUEE
I love it! You're a very expressive reader. And your Matt Smith impression is adorable. ♥

My icon problem has been fixed. And now I keep looking at the icon and going "Hee! So cute!" (Your River icon also makes me happy. SO MUCH SQUEE THIS WEEK.)

And thank you! I'm very glad it made you squee. ^^ And the actual dialogue was the part I was most nervous about... and also the only part I didn't have to rerecord even once. GO FIGURE.

That is a fab icon. SOCUTE. ♥♥ I hope they have lots of moments of Awesome together next week.

...I keep listening to it on repeat. It makes me really happy, omg. <3
