beccaelizabethHe made them scarier. Very good trick. I've had that nightmare about stuff coming out of the TV. For me it was cybermen. For a whole generation now it gets to be angels. :-)
I like the church vs angels thing, and a future with religion in it, and the no offence / quite a lot taken bit, because people always say 'no offence' when they mean 'I've been thoughtless and wish to avoid the consequences'. And the line about telling their families was that same thing, the Doctor avoids consequences. Which ties in to the Doctor's feelings about River Song ie run away, run away!. ... the more things change...
I like it that Amy is saying 'wife' because it ties in to her Stuff and it's what the fans say, so you get an in character 'is it ever that simple' 'yep' to play with.
I like River Song. I do not like River Song's eyeshadow. I do like that we keep getting little interesting bits, mostly in the guise of Funny, that are very probably Clues. And then the bit about prison, and the Doctor doesn't know yet who and what she is... oooh, clue clue!
... I love the bit with the TARDIS stabilisers. Because we do know he don't know how to drive it, we've seen, he's said, and now we see again *and* get a handy excuse for a smooth ride. 'Boring' though it may be :-) And then 'You leave the brakes on'. :-D :-D (It is a great noise though. Even though I was watching the subtitles and not listening to the Doctor right then. I have that to look forward to.)
There was many much funny in this one. I keep giggling to myself when I remember bits. And then the scary is hiding in the funny, as it should be.
There were bits in the middle where I thought the remix to new things ratio was a bit remixy, but then it sprang some rather excellent surprise under cover of babble, so it's basically made of win.
The best bit was the pacing. I forgot it was a two parter. I was watching it and it was all made of good bits and they all lead on to the next bit so you're busy watching and then ... weird cartoon guy??? Over the best bit??? And then the credits. It's the best pacing for a cliffhanger, that slightly outraged feeling where you want to see the next minute really a lot. Excellent.
PS: 'Hello Sweetie' :-D :-D :-D

Drat it.
And Doctor Who was doing so well compared with other BBC shows... wasn't it...?

"Yes we are."
"What?"
"Talking about you."
(hahahaha)
Actually just loving River and Amy full stop. May even be forced to ship them if they keep being so awesome together...or maybe Doctor/River/Amy OT3...hee hee. >:3
I, too, would like a "Hello Sweetie" written in Old High Gallifreyan icon. :D
Oh man, can't wait until next weekend. What did River do to get slammed in prison, bad naughty River. :-) And she also told Amy she lies - hello cluebat! :-D
