Minor DW 603 Thoughts

I have two things to say about Curse of the Black Spot.


1.  Eye patch lady is the new crack.  "NOTICE ME!  NOTICE ME!"

2.  No infirmary on the TARDIS with life-saving equipment?  For serious?  There's always been a medical bay.  One had a medical bay.  Also, Doctor, you do have a medical degree.  Granted it's from the 19th century, but come on.

3.  Rory is better than Eleven in every conceivable way.  I'd say except for the fact that Eleven can fly the TARDIS, but he can't really do that either, can he?

4.  Despite all this, I rather enjoyed this episode.  It was straight-forward, Amy kicked butt for her man, Rory was funny and dopey but still marvelous.  You know, I like Matt Smith well enough as a person and even liked his acting in other things, but why couldn't they have cast Arthur Darvill as the Doctor and given him Rory's personality, because he is awesome and I wouldn't sort of not like the Doctor so much as I kind of do at times now?  Or maybe not.  Arthur Darvill playing Eleven as written by the Moff might make me not like him, too.  Never mind.

5.  Because apparently counting to 2 is hard, I like linear storylines.  Don't get me wrong, I like timey whimey, but certain writer's are bad at it and make it make absolutely no sense.  (I'm looking at you SM).  This was a refreshing change.

THAT"S what was bugging me about that ep... the lack of med bay. Thanks. Also am I the only one who likes Amy more after this episode?? Cause I do (I think it's cause she was a BAMF).

Oh and hello by the way! love your work so you'll probably be hearing more from me.

Hello. *waves* Welcome. Actually I've liked Amy more and more with each episode. I feel like this year she is finally getting some actual character development.

so true... I love character development and compared to past companions, Amy just wasn't getting it till recently.
