Pond Life 5 is actually worth watching!

I'm very surprised, because Pond Life prequels 1-4 were entirely forgettable, pointless bits of fluff that weren't even very good fluff because they seemed like they were trying too hard to be fluff. If that makes any sense.

But curiosity got the better of me, and the prequels are very short, so I went ahead and clicked on #5. And then I got something that was actually worth watching, and, for the first time, looks like it might actually be a prequel in that it might be related to what's going to happen in S7. In fact, if it's not related, I'm going to be very disappointed.

New Doctor Who tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What, you mean you didn't appreciate yesterday's searing examination of the morality of slavery...?

No?

;D

Yes, I think this one might be our lead into S7 - hopefully we will get some indication of how things got to this stage for the Ponds as well.

I love it because this one is a cliff hanger that I WANT to see the answer to. I'm glad this leads straight into the season opener. I've not been able to get myself excited about the new episodes and this helps. I think Pond Life 1-4 were valuable because the show Amy and Rory getting along, so that we know that that is the norm.

Hopefully we will, yes! LESS THAN A DAY TO GO!

Hmm, I get the feeling that this was the real prequel, and the other four were filler. Something along the lines of: "Hey, the prequel is great, but it's kind of short. Do you mind whipping up four more? And can you throw in an Ood?"

Although it's possible that they'll look a lot more meaningful in retrospect, after we see some of S7.
