Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] de23 , I was finally able to catch up with the Doctor and I have to say that I really enjoyed the second part of the series even more than the first.  Of course, since I have watched the load of them over the past two days, I'm afraid I can't be more in depth than:

"Oh, I like Rory!"

"Sob! Poor Rory"

"Yay, Rory!"

"Oh no! Not Rory, too" and finally

"Aww, Rory. I <3 you!!"

Other bits I loved included the nod to Jules Vern (at least it seemed very Journey to the Center of the Earth -ish even if there was an allusion to past Who history I'm not privy too), the always engaging ancillary characters (except those vampire girls), the Doctor playing soccer(football, whatever) and the awesome River Song!

I had to totally keep myself from saying "I love Rory!" any time we mentioned Who because I didn't want to spoil it for you. I was afraid they were making Amy either a Donna copy (runaway bride and all that) and then a Rose copy (the whole Mickey/Rory parallel), but I think they navigated it quite nicely. The way Eleven treats Amy's advances can be seen as a return to a more Classic Who sensibility, but I like to think we're also seeing the Doctor's lessons learned from Rose (and Sarah Jane). He doesn't want her to become too dependent on him for her own sake -- she should have her own life to go back to. And how awesome is it that marriage isn't and end to the adventures (as in so many tv shows and always on Whe before) but just another step along the road. Whee! I need Eleventy icons!

LOL, that is cute. I am glad you kept me spoiler free for my own good. It's hard when we all aren't watching at the same time.

I love that them getting married didn't end the adventure. I should have listed that as one of the bits!

I need Eleventy icons, too.
