Just finished watching Doctor Who. Wonderful episode, Moffat is a god, but seriously, WHAT THE FUCK. I have a terrible feeling they won't explain anything about the lake or the girl until the season finale. Maybe not even the first one. It's going to be a long, LONG year.

Let's start with the silly stuff, I loved how they got all their ships right. River and the Doctor are absolutely amazing, and the kiss, guys, the KISS. It was perfect. And Rory being such an adorable jealous guy with low self-esteem. Of course she loves *you*, you idiot! Her puzzled look when he asked her if she loved the Doctor was the best. And when she told the Doctor he's her best friend? So cute!

Now, on to the serious stuff! Let's see if I got this right: the little girl is Amy and Rory's child, but she's somehow infected by the Tardis' heart or something, so she's also a Timelord? I'm not sure I can really stand the idea of her dying of cold and starvation, after being tortured by aliens, while her mom and dad are off hunting mermaids and playing pirates. Yes, she comes back to life right away, but really, this is too much. O_O

The "one small step for a man" scene was one of my favourites, with all the humans blinking. Everything was building up to that scene, and I was so breathless when they finally did it. I also loved that scene with the Doctor and Rory talking about his memories of being the Last Centurion. Nice development of Rory, who's such a favourite character of mine. ^^

My only complaint? Too many scenes with Nixon playing the Deus Ex Machina. I know Moffat wants to explain us every tiny detail, but I thought those scenes were cute, but slowing down the pace a bit.

So now, they still have to explain us all that thing back at the lake, why the doctor let the person in the space suit kill him, who's the little girl, and what's with Amy's pregnancy going on and off.

Judging from how it started this might be the best Doctor Who season ever, no kidding.
