The Doctor's Wife reaction post

[dbskyler]

Oooh, I really liked that. Okay, so I've always had a soft spot for the relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS, and I feel like not only did he wish really hard, but I did too -- and got what I wanted! I loved how she kept calling him "Thief" and said she stole him and just wanted to go out and see the universe. Yay, TARDIS!

-- The whole "pull to open" conversation was awesome.
-- "The pretty one" -- LOL!
-- For some reason, when the TARDIS started talking about sending Rory and Amy to an old "archived" console room, I was expecting something along the lines of Four's secondary control room. Then when they showed up in Ten's console room, I was simultaneously YAY!! (it was so wonderful to see it again) and "wow, I'm such an idiot, of course that's the set they still have hanging around."

This was apparently an arc-free episode, except for one curious thing: Rory again made a point of saying that he's a nurse. Haven't we gotten that in, like, every episode so far? What could be the reason behind repeating that so often? Is he going to unexpectedly declare himself a different profession someday, and that's how we'll know the universe is in big trouble? ("Damn it Amy, I'm a ______, not a nurse!")

Good point about Rory having an identity crisis. That would be much better character development that was given to Jack when he spent those same 2000 years in less-than-ideal circumstances. (being purposely vague on specifics of a 3 year old episode because this is a spoiler- free journal).

I do, however, agree that the Rory repeatedly dying is not a random thing. I think it may also be tied to Amy being pregnant/not-pregnant.

Aw, thanks! But don't worry, I've seen that episode. And yeah, Jack pretty much bounced back from that, didn't he?

You must be the person I got this idea from, because I read my journal earlier today, but am only now getting around to replying. And now I notice that I just said that exact same thing about the dying/pregnancy being linked in my reply to tempestas_inu, but you said it first, so it must've been percolating in my brain and I must've subconsciously decided you were right.
