Description .. And let's face it, Amy and Rory didn't even seem to care this much...

SPOILERS FOR DW 6x08

I found Doctor Who 6x08 awesome.. but also kinda weird. The Doctor is lucky Mels/River showed up when she did... to distract from the fact that he completely failed to do what he said he would and find Melody. I just like the idea of the Doctor stalling for time til that happened.

And as seems to be the norm in my comics, the Ponds resort to violence to vent their emotions. And they take turns apparently.

UGH. I know! I wish they had cared just a bit more in this episode.
They didn't get to raise their daughter, and they seemed perfectly cool with her giving up all of her regenerations. -_-

*shakes fist* MOFFAT.

Totally! I mean, Doctor Who is always awesome, but the writing seems to have gotten kinda lazy in places..

*shakes fist* MOFFAT.

My favourite episodes were those when RTD was head writer, and Moffat wrote episodes. I don't like Moffat as head. He does great plots, the writing sometimes lacks.
Also, the atmosphere of S5 and 6 are so different, sometimes it feels like a different show...

Oh, this is hysterical.
I totally agree with you. The Doctor was more lucky than he realized (and I don't think he ever will realize XD).
And I can see the Ponds punching people in turns. xD

Seems legit? I see tumblr has taught you well!

Of course the Ponds take turns, they ARE a married couple of course! I was a bit disappointed though, I thought that Let's Kill Hitler would be more about the baby River... Melody, I mean I'm still having a hard time calling her that

blackbirdrose In reply to Silverbones18 [2011-09-15 12:57:51 +0000 UTC]

Haha, damn straight!

It does seem like they skipped over so much with River's story... her training to kill the Doctor most especially but also just time to get used to her as a killer/assassin.. I mean.. she killed him and made a complete about turn and saved his life all in one half hour! Talk about making your head hurt.. Maybe we'll have flashbacks to the first part of her life later.. I really hope so.

akabeko In reply to ??? [2011-09-03 20:45:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeaaah... as great as Moffat might be at writing delightfully convoluted stories, he's absolutely rubbish when it comes to writing realistic characters with realistic emotional responses to thing (I used to be annoyed at the constant angsting in RTD's era, but now I'm starting to miss it, because the Ponds just don't react like normal parents would do at all...! )

Anyway, fab comic as always!!

blackbirdrose In reply to akabeko [2011-09-04 22:47:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes, YES.. AND OMG YES!! I would happily give up the timey-wimey confusing plotlines for some emotional responses that make sense.

Thanks darlin'!

LizleMouton In reply to ??? [2011-09-03 16:29:02 +0000 UTC]

AWESOME! Yes, that part was definitely rushed and went somewhat unexplained but brushed aside with all the action and chaos thrown at the episode. It honestly had nothing to do with Hitler

blackbirdrose In reply to LizleMouton [2011-09-03 19:29:07 +0000 UTC]

HAha, totally... I was a bit annoyed at how much was shoved into it, too. They should have chosen something more neutral as the backdrop for all the plot points they were trying to deal with at one time. Nazi Germany's just too provocative.

LizleMouton In reply to blackbirdrose [2011-09-04 20:46:49 +0000 UTC]

I'm actually getting quite annoyed with Stephen Moffat...especially after this last episode Night Terrors. I can no longer watch Dr. Who with my younger 6 year old sister. Every second episode is part horror and though this may appeal to the older watchers, Doctor Who can't really be considered a family or even a kid's show anymore like it used to be

UniversalOpera In reply to ??? [2011-09-03 16:28:29 +0000 UTC]

There was definitely some stalling involved. And besides, Rory punched a Nazi... *twice*. And Amy threatens people all the time. I'd say that the Ponds resorting to violence to vent their emotions is the norm in the show.

blackbirdrose In reply to UniversalOpera [2011-09-15 12:36:01 +0000 UTC]

gemmawolf In reply to ??? [2011-09-03 15:19:12 +0000 UTC]

I agree with the 'out of the blue' thing. If Moffat had River's story planned out, how come this is the first we've heard of Mel?
And the top hat is cool, is it not?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

blackbirdrose In reply to gemmawolf [2011-09-04 22:53:12 +0000 UTC]

Precisely! All Moffat would have had to do was have Mels turn up at some point in season 5 and then our surprise and delight at this revelation would have been tenfold! Instead we're all like.. "Uh-huh... so?"

Top hats are very cool.

This made me laugh - quite a lot. I'm getting weird looks from my fellow travelers (yay for London! XD)

blackbirdrose In reply to animafan369 [2011-09-15 15:44:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm not sure either.. I don't think the Doctor DID know that Melody grew up with them... surely he would have taken action to do something about it sooner..?

Glad this made you laugh!

LOOOLLL id like to think that Amy and Rory know well enough to just go with the Time Lord Flow by now they'd be seriously messed up if they were bothered by all the weird details lol "Sorry. Hello. Doctor not following this, Doctor very lost. You never said I was hot." sorry Doc but i think that might be their payback for not finding their daughter MOREEE

blackbirdrose In reply to prettygal456 [2011-09-15 15:42:38 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well I would agree with that but it's their daughter we're talking about! It's not just the Doctor neglecting to tell them something as usual... they just seem too cool for a young couple who've had their only child snatched away from them..
