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!")

Wow, really interesting! So we almost had an "Invasion of Time" - type tour through the TARDIS? That would've been amazing, especially if we got to visit old favorites like the Zero Room. Oh well, maybe someday! At least we got corridors, which is the first time we've been out of the console room in New Who, isn't it? About time! (And I like to think that some of those corridors still have unraveled scarf along them, from "Castrovalva.")

I would've fainted with joy at seeing an old console room from, say, Four or Five's era. But Ten's console room was great, too.

You're right, the "dying" thing is getting a little worrying. I almost wonder if Amy's pregnancy and Rory's dying are linked -- and maybe even related to "Amy's Choice"?
